E Learning and In-Service Training in Law Enforcement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639184778)

Tapping the Potential of E-Learning Given the financial and organizational stakes that go into implementing a completely new form of training, knowing the perceptions and beliefs of trainers and trainees towards the potential adoption of e-learning technology for in-service police training can facilitate any changes. The factor analyses revealed three shared trainer and trainee perceptions: A positive perception towards e-learning, personally and for the TNP; a belief in the importance of administrative support for e-learning integration; and the belief in importance of appropriate resources to facilitate integration and maintain implementation. Zengin's research sheds light, from the perspective of those in the trenches, on what needs must be met for the change to be successful for the Turkish National Police. Intended as a possible road map for the TNP Education Department to provide a more flexible system to disseminate in-service training information, the findings can be applicable to/of interest to other agencies or groups aiming to adopt e-training.
