“…According to Swaffield (, 434) authentic assessment refers to ‘the assessment of learning that is conducted through “real world” tasks requiring students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in meaningful contexts’. Thus, in CBE an assessment would be authentic if it involved demonstration of clearly identified competences or their components in complex real‐world situations or their close equivalents (Drisko ). The research team were keen to get participants’ views on potential work‐relevant assessments that could be employed to gauge students’ progress towards developing the MoE competences, because as Brown, Bull and Pendlebury (, 7) have noted, ‘if you want to change student learning then change the methods of assessment’.…”

Although research has identified many of the competences that human resource management (HRM) professionals need, limited research examines how competence expectations can be met in HRM courses. This study sought to generate the knowledge required to align HRM courses with competence statements in the recently revised Australian Human Resources Institute Model of Excellence. To accomplish this aim, focus groups and interviews were conducted with HRM professionals from private, public and not-for-profit organisations. Findings suggest that the process of aligning course curricula with the MoE is challenging for several reasons, including: competence statements are subject to varied interpretation; subjecting each statement to a learning needs analysis is complex; it is difficult to cluster the wide range of knowledge areas that must be covered into coherent units of learning. This paper explores the appropriateness of using a generic competence model in a curricular-influencing role and outlines implications of our findings for practice and research

“…Workers resilience, according to Drisko (2014) is that state of optimism and equanimity expressed by workers in their functions. It is both a cognitive, emotional and behavioural factor as it extends beyond the perception of events to the interpretations of the events and the actions or attitudes expressed with regards to the experience of the event.…”

“…While research on workers resilience is considered as still evolving, there are however studies that have examined it as an outcome or consequence of several antecedents such as training, compensation, organizational culture (Fisk & Dionisi, 2010;Drisko, 2014); however, content on the relationship between empathic leadership and workers resilience is relatively scarce. While studies (Stein & Book, 2000;Shirzad & Baharak, 2011) have identified emotional intelligence as an overarching factor in leader -employee social exchange and relations, several other studies (Hassan, Saeid, & Sirous, 2010;Williams, 2001) have identified similar factors which although not as broad a concept as emotional intelligence, yet identify key aspects of emotional exchange between leaders and their followers.…”

Research on workers resilience is yet in its formative years. As a growing and developing framework, it offers a strong position on the need for workers optimism, composure and positive outlook on events even during tough or challenging times. This is as theories identify the quality of relationship between leaders and their workers as key to the success and wellbeing of the organization. This paper addressed the role of empathic leadership in the achievement of workers resilience. The paper is designed as a review with content bothering on the conceptualization and link between the empathic leadership and workers resilience. The review espouses the role of empathic leadership in the enhancement of resilience qualities such as optimism, equanimity and humour; it was concluded that empathic leadership drives and has a positive impact on the workers ability to cope with tough times and to maintain composure, optimism and equanimity during such times

“…The analysis of the literature testifies that the problem of professional education is based on a wide range of academic developments by scholars in the field of education: the issues connected with the prospects of research in the field of social work are disclosed [1]; readiness for professional activity [2; 3] and its evaluation [4] are studied. The analysis of professional values [5] and professional skills of social workers is presented [6; 7].…”

The relevance of the study is caused by the need to improve the theoretical and practical training of social workers. In the process of global changes of modern society, the social problems have become aggravated, the solution of which is directly related to the development of social work and the professional training of competent specialists. The purpose of the paper is to rationalize the possibility of improving professional training on the basis of the subjectactivity and contextual approaches. These approaches allow ensuring the formation of qualitative characteristics of a specialist adequate to the current conditions of professional activity. As the research methods, the following methods were used: a content analysis, a questionnaire survey of 234 respondents. The self-evaluation of their professional knowledge and skills is characterized and the readiness of social workers for training is analyzed. The possibility of improving vocational education on the basis of their educational needs is argued. Taking into account professional difficulties and educational needs of social workers, educational and methodological guideline was developed and implemented, including teaching and methodological aids, and tasks that contribute to the formation of general cultural and professional competencies among future social workers and specialists already working in social protection organizations.
