Abstract:

Many enterprises need advanced educational technologies to enhance
instruction and aid training to high quality personnel. Evidence-based
technology provides a variety of contemporary solutions to identified
training problems related to the assessment of profession training. The
evidence-based technology focuses on empirical evidence and effectiveness
to achieve specific training goals. Evidence-based training is an
individual level of evidence-based process to achieve training goals from
organization resources, process, evaluation and reflection, which is
supported by information technology. Evidence-based technology emphasizes
the critical appraisal of the trainees to the training content, which is
beneficial for cultivating trainees' critical thinking and problem solving
skills. This talk gives an overview of evidence-based technology with a
couple of case studies in sports science and healthcare.
