Abstract
All learners bring knowledge and skills to new learning experiences. Building on this is a necessary motivational feature. Careful attention must be given to the learner′s self‐belief, reflection on past experiences, description of specific skills and valid processes for assessment.

Abstract
All seventeen had graciously agreed to my proposal to gather for a small conference to seek consensus. A generous grant from the Pierian Press Foundation would cover all of our expenses for a long weekend at a resort hotel; the only condition of the grant was that we offer our results to Reference Services Review for first publication. Over the past five years each of the seventeen had in turn accepted my challenge to answer the following question:

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a safety climate scale for measuring the safety climate in the oil and gas industry.
Design/methodology/approach
The scale developed through conducting a literature review about the safety climate and constructing a question pool. The number of items was reduced to 51 after performing a screening process. Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the scale’s construct validity.
Findings
CFA loadings were statistically significant. All Cronbach’s alpha (a) and composite reliability values support the construct reliability. The outcomes showed acceptable convergent and discriminant validity: AVEs showed acceptable values, and the square roots of AVE values showed higher values than the construct correlation values. Furthermore, all factor loadings exceeded 0.50, and the t-values were statistically significant. CFA loadings were statistically significant.
Originality/value
The safety climate measuring scale of 43-instrument items produced in this study is reliable and valid for the oil and gas industry.

Abstract
The multiple objective decision making problem arises when two or more non‐comparable objective functions are to be simultaneously optimised. There is a definite trend towards utilising interactive techniques for solving the multiple objective decision making problem. Interactive techniques allow the involvement of the DM throughout the decision process. In this paper we first provide a brief overview of multiple objective decision making, and then give a survey of literature dealing with interactive multiple objective decision making from 1965 to 1988.
