[Air-L] Invitation to participate in the IBSTPI Instructor Competencies validation study - Online, F2F, and blended

[Lee, Mark]

Dear colleagues:

The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction (IBSTPI) is undertaking the task of updating its previously international validated and published set of Instructor Competencies (2004). Last fall, we began our initial validation study and we now are seeking additional responses. If you have instructor responsibilities and/or manage other staff with such responsibilities, we would be very grateful for your participation. (If you previously responded to the survey, we greatly appreciate your time, but there is no need to respond again.) 

Please note that the focus of this project is on instructors working with adult learners in career and vocational training, higher education, and organizational/workplace settings (including face-to-face, online, and blended modes of delivery). Numerous other studies and organizations have addressed the instructional and other competencies of K-12 teachers, which fall outside of IBSTPI’s scope.

We expect that it should take approximately 30 minutes of your time. As an incentive to complete the survey, if you do so by the survey response deadline of September 30, 2019, you are eligible to participate in a drawing for a chance to win one of 10 complete sets of the IBSTPI competencies and performance statements. At the end of the survey, you will also have the opportunity to opt in to IBSTPI’s mailing list to receive updates pertaining to the Instructor Competencies revision project as well as other IBSTPI activities and initiatives.

There are no identified or anticipated risks from participating in this study (00009153). By completing and submitting the survey, you are giving consent for your response to be included in the study. All information that you provide will remain confidential and will be de-identified for all analyses. Should you choose to provide your name and email address for the prize drawing and/or to facilitate your addition to the IBSTPI mailing list, that information will not be linked to your survey response.

You may choose not to answer specific questions or withdraw from the study at any time by exiting the survey website.
