传统上，未来的资源父母必须亲自参加所有的职业培训。虽然现场课程对于筛选申请人等活动是必要的，但培训的教学部分可以通过基于网络的课程来增强。这项试点研究比较了一个广泛使用的职业道德培训计划的在线和课堂版本的有效性。在两个州自愿完成该项目的92人被随机分配到一个治疗组，该组观看了关于虐待和忽视儿童的在线课程，另一个对照组亲自参加了同一课程。在上课前和课后完成了书面问卷。假设儿童虐待和同情对亲生父母的知识，加上高用户满意度显着的群体差异。协方差分析结果表明，在线培训比现场培训更有效地增加知识。MANCOVA的研究结果共情不显着，但倾向于更大的共情的在线组。反馈表明，对在线课程的满意度很高。如果得到未来研究的支持，在线教学比现场教学更有效的发现对实践有积极的影响，因为基于网络的培训提供了标准化教学，削减机构和学员成本以及提供更大的灵活性等优势。
Traditionally, prospective resource parents must attend all preservice training in person. While live sessions are necessary for activities such as screening applicants, instructional portions of training could be enhanced by web-based sessions. This pilot study compares the effectiveness of online and classroom versions of one session from a widely used preservice training program. Ninety-two individuals who volunteered to complete the program in two states were randomly assigned to a treatment group that viewed an online version of the class on child abuse and neglect or a comparison group that took the same class in person. Written questionnaires were completed before and after the class. Significant group differences on knowledge of child maltreatment and empathy toward birth parents, plus high user satisfaction, were hypothesized. ANCOVA results showed the online training was more effective than the live training at increasing knowledge. MANCOVA findings on empathy were not significant but trended toward greater empathy for the online group. Feedback indicated high satisfaction with the online course. If supported by future research, the finding that online instruction is more effective than live has positive implications for practice, because web-based training offers advantages like standardizing instruction, cutting agency and trainee costs, and providing greater flexibility.
