Distance Learning System for Parent-Child Assessment

想象一下这样一个世界，所有的孩子都信任成年人，受到养育，安全地探索他们的世界，没有暴力。我们可以通过向儿童/家庭服务提供者提供他们需要的工具来评估育儿方式并进行干预，以发展促进健康儿童的高质量育儿方式，从而创造这个世界。发展，最终是社会福祉。该项目将对交互式学习者驱动的远程学习系统与传统培训进行比较，以获得经过验证的亲子互动量表，以便从实验室获得亲子评估，并将其妥善地交给数千家服务提供商。第一阶段的具体目标是：*为经过验证的亲子互动量表开发一个远程学习多媒体原型，并通过光盘和互联网提供；*进行一项试点研究，将远程学习与传统培训在评分能力、提供者满意度和成本效益方面进行比较；*定义远程学习工具的设计规范，为亲子评估提供持续的支持和咨询。远程学习提供了灵活的方法，通过最新的内容、搜索功能来定制培训--及时的信息、能力认证和支持，提供商可以在方便的时候访问这些信息。该项目将向教育、儿童保育、卫生和社会服务提供者提供有效、成本效益高的亲子评估培训和支持，以促进有效的育儿和儿童发展。拟议的商业应用：对于一个拥有150万人力服务提供商的潜在市场，有很高的需求或有效的、成本效益高的亲子互动评估培训系统，可以随时随地访问。虽然在儿童发展的其他领域提供了评估培训产品，但这一系统将弥补缺失的一环，从而提高儿童和家庭评估和干预的整体质量。一旦开发出来，它可能会被用作举办其他评估培训的平台。

Imagine a world in which all children trust adults, are nurtured, explore their worlds safely, without violence. We can create this world by giving child/family service providers the tools they need to assess parenting and intervene to develop high quality parenting that promotes healthy child. development, and ultimately, societal well-being. This project will compare an interactive learner-driven distance learning system to traditional training for a proven parent-child interaction scale in order to take parent-child assessment from the laboratory and place it competently in the hands of thousands of service providers. Specific Aims for Phase 1: * Develop a distance learning multimedia prototype for a proven parent-child interaction scale to be delivered via CD-ROM and Internet; * Conduct a pilot study to compare distance learning to traditional training on scoring competency, provider satisfaction, and cost- efficiency; * Define design specifications for distance learning tools that provide ongoing support and consultation for parent-child assessment. Distance learning provides flexible means to customize training through up-to-date content, search features for just enough--just in time information, competency certification, and support that can be accessed at providers' convenience. This project will make effective, cost- efficient training and support for parent-child assessment accessible to providers in education, childcare, health, and social services in order to promote effective parenting and child development. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: There is high demand or an effective, cost-effective training system for parent-child interaction assessment that is accessible anytime, anyplace for a potential market of 1.5 million human service providers. Although products are available for assessment training in other areas of child development, this system will provide the missing link that will raise the overall quality of child and family assessment and intervention. Once developed, it maybe used as a platform to host other assessment training.
