Web-Based Mentor Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：拟议的项目将为10-14岁儿童的未来导师创建和评估基于网络的培训计划的可行性。七个模块的最终计划将包括一系列基于网络的互动培训模块，包括集成的音频文件和短小测验，以展示对关键概念和技能的掌握，这些主题包括导师面临的常见道德困境；建立积极的人际关系；帮助年轻人发展生活技能；介绍和协助案例管理；与各种文化团体互动；终止关系；以及处理有特殊需要的儿童。在该项目的第一阶段，将开发第一个培训模块，编写脚本并编制程序。一旦完成，该计划将在两项可行性研究中进行测试。将有20名计划总监或主管以及60名导师，他们将完成模块1，完成基于知识的测验，并就计划的可行性和质量提供计划反馈。假设原型网站培训计划显示出希望，第二阶段将包括完成基于网络的计划，并在随机对照试验中评估其对导师和受训者结果的有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will create and evaluate the feasibility of a web-based training program for prospective mentors of 10-14 year-old children. The seven-module final program will consist of a series of interactive web- based training modules with integrated audio files and short quizzes for demonstration of mastery of key concepts and skills on topics such as common ethical dilemmas faced by mentors; establishing a positive personal relationship; helping young people develop life skills; introduction to and assisting with case management; interacting with a variety of cultural groups; termination of the relationship; and dealing with children who have special needs. In Phase I of the project, the first training module will be developed, scripted, and programmed. Once completed, the program will be tested in two feasibility studies. There will be 20 program directors or supervisors as well as 60 mentors who will complete Module1, complete a knowledge- based quiz, and provide program feedback on the feasibility and quality of the program. Assuming the prototype website training program show promise, Phase II will involve completing the web-based program and evaluating its effectiveness in both mentor and mentee outcomes in a randomized controlled trial.
