“…However, independent (autonomous) functioning is essential and a starting point in SCS lectures. The SCS lecturer stimulates autonomous behaviour and choices from the students (Sousa et al 2012).…”

“…During the learning process of the lecturer-researcher in the preliminary research, the Field experiment, a need for a deeper insight into the intrinsic motivation and personal development of Engineering students originated (Sousa et al 2012). The idea came into being that stimulating the conscious personal development of students during their Engineering studies requires more time and space, than given to the SCS module in the curriculum, to make individual students aware of the growth and development of their personal qualities.…”

The research is in line with a vision in our society that regards learning as a lifelong process that is not limited to education, it is an ongoing process in which a person is able to direct his own learning. Reflection and awareness are basic conditions in this process. The emphasis is on an intra-personal approach. The practical, exploratory and participatory research takes place in the context of Higher Engineering education which is often cognitive and practical oriented. Affective education is of significance in a process of conscious personal development. Self-reporting provides an insight into the subjective experience of students. The nature of exploratory research is that no strictly predetermined route can be followed by the researcher. Coming to conscious personal development is not a self-evident process. The following key question has therefore been formulated: "How" can one stimulate Higher Engineering students to open up for conscious intra-personal development?". The research resulted in the formulation of the S.C.D. model (Stimulating Conscious Development). (In Dutch: B.O.S. model). The S.C.D. model consists of two parts. The Preliminary research; a field experiment: the SCS module (Social and Communicative Skills), an experiential, student-centered lecture series. The objective of the SCS module is to stimulate Higher Engineering students to open up for conscious personal development.Gaining insight into interpersonal relationships is also of importance in the SCS module, related to effective teamwork. During the SCS process the Research terms were set down. They are the basic assumptions for the next part; a case study: a small-scale, in -depth study which includes three interviews, each time with ten Higher Engineering students, spread over a longer educational period. The case study focuses on the perspective of the research students, who participated voluntary and outside school hours in a positive way, in the research. Handling the method of approach of the S.C.D. model offers a possibility to stimulate Higher Engineering students to open up for personal development.

“…Numerous studies in a range of occupational settings (e.g. clinical, educational and organisational) have provided empirical evidence that selfefficacy predicts and improves work performance, behaviour and learning Sousa et al, 2012). Research conducted in work settings, and in the context of workplace learning, has shown that self-efficacy serves as a precondition for workrelated learning .…”

“…Therefore, organisations can benefit from taking professionals' personal initiative and self-efficacy into account when making recruitment decisions Sousa et al, 2012). Furthermore, facilitating work conditions that appreciate and reinforce professionals' initiative-taking work behaviour by, for example, personal initiative training sessions and promotion systems, as well as appreciations and support from supervisors and top management, could pay off for organisations .…”

Professional nurse training is very important aspect for enhancing the effectiveness of continuing nursing education and to accumulate continuing nursing education unit for the renew of license; however, there are no specific the indicators and the measure instruments for the effective solution evidence in Thailand. The purposes of this research sought to develop the indicators and instrument to evaluate the effectiveness of the professional nurse training project, by using two approaches. An application of Kirkpatrick's model focused on training and previous researches. Theory-based evaluation approach was built from literature reviews. The first phase of the study was the developing of the indicators and instrument, on the other hand of the second phase was the building instrument to evaluation effectiveness of training project and testing. This research proposes a comprehensive and systematic approach with a discussion of methodology related to developing of the indicators and instrument to evaluate on the professional nurse training project effectiveness in all steps of assessment, implementation and evaluation.
