Abstract: Education and practical training crisis management
members are a topical issue nowadays. The paper deals with the
perspectives and possibilities of "smart solutions" to education for
crisis management staff. Currently, there is a large number of
simulation tools, which notes that they are suitable for practical
training of crisis management staff. The first part of the paper is focused on the introduction of the
technology simulation tools. The simulators aim is to create a
realistic environment for the practical training of extending units of
crisis staff. The second part of the paper concerns the possibilities of using the
simulation technology to the education process. The aim of this
section is to introduce the practical capabilities and potential of the
simulation programs for practical training of crisis management staff.
Abstract: Creative design requires new approaches to assessment
in vocational and technological education. To date, there has been little
discussion on instruments used to evaluate dies produced by students
in vocational and technological education. Developing a generic
instrument has been very difficult due to the diversity of creative
domains, the specificity of content, and the subjectivity involved in
judgment. This paper presents an instrument for measuring the
creativity in the design of products by expanding the Consensual
Assessment Technique (CAT). The content-based scale was evaluated
for content validity by 5 experts. The scale comprises 5 criteria:
originality; practicability; precision; aesthetics; and exchangeability.
Nine experts were invited to evaluate the dies produced by 38 college
students who enrolled in a Product Design and Development course.
To further explore the degree of rater agreement, inter-rater reliability
was calculated for each dimension using Kendall's coefficient of
concordance test. The inter-judge reliability scores achieved
significance, with coefficients ranging from 0.53 to 0.71.
