Narrative:

A new first officer was flying. After departure, he started a turn to the right. As captain, I questioned this at which time he started a turn to the 340 degree heading as prescribed on the procedure. This happened simultaneously with departure asking if we were flying the correct procedure. After discussing it with the first officer, these seemed to have been factors: 1) uncertainty with sids and stars. 2) change of runway and departure instructions while we were taxiing out.
