3.If respected authority from each of the three approaches (classical, naturalistic, or critical) were invited to your agency to evaluate your agency's educational programs, what advice would each give to your agency? How would your agency likely respond to such advice?
A classical theorist would hold a formal seminar during which each participant would be given handouts. Handouts would include lists and outlines of suggested courses of action. A presentation would accompany the lecture, after which seminar participants would be allowed to ask questions in a traditional format. The authority would evaluate my agency's educational programs in terms of quantitative data. Assessment measures would guide further action. Most subjective input would be politely dismissed. The authority would ask program directors to come up with a formal plan detailing the objectives of the adult education project and any assessment measures used to evaluate its effectiveness. Our agency would respond well to the advice but it is unlikely that a purely classical approach would help.
A naturalistic authority might also hold a formal lecture or meeting but the tone of the seminar would be less formal than the one held by the classical authority. The naturalist might suggest handing...
Adult learners would also be asked to detail their personal goals, either by writing them down in private or speaking them aloud to the class. Similarly, all participants would be given the opportunity to explore their future career and personal goals. Our agency would respond to the naturalistic approach well. Program planners could meet the needs of the adult learners and tailor each session for the specific demographic of the group. On the other hand, such an approach is likely to be more costly than a classical approach.
Our agency would be unlikely to wholeheartedly embrace the critical approach. A leading authority in the critical approach to adult education might introduce scholastic research and empirical studies showing how sociological realities affect adult learning. Issues related to class conflict or gender would be introduced readily. The critical theorist would suggest altering the structure of the organization to reflect trends toward egalitarianism. While admirable in its scope, the critical approach to adult learning would be unlikely to take root in our organization. A traditional agency like ours is willing to change but only slowly and systematically.
I was able to find funding to send some teachers abroad for training courses and have used technology to connect with educators abroad over the Internet. I have organized workshops to clarify the aims and strategy of the program to teachers, to encourage them to get 'on board' and believe in the curriculum changes. A child's education must entail more than memorization or even passing standardized exams. Education must open
In the case of a sexual harassment education seminar, assessments would consist of both short-term and long-term investigations of the organizational culture. If necessary or possible, dramatic shifts in the organizational culture could prepare the future workforce for a harassment-free environment. The need for more females in positions of power remains one of the greatest stumbling blocks to eliminating sexual harassment. A naturalistic approach to educational intervention would emphasize
Capitol City Rescue Mission in Albany New York Program Planning and Evaluation Description The Capitol City Rescue Mission in Albany New York was founded in 1949. As of 1982, the rescue mission got a new executive director in Perry Jones who involved in developing a rehabilitation and discipleship program. It took a short time for the mission to serve an extensive number of people (Burt & United States, 2010). The influx of younger
This would also allow students to state their goals, and then compare their goals against their final achievements. Also, as part of the program, students are assessed for placement purposes in their English proficiency. After completing their courses annually, students should have to be assessed once again, to see if their English had showed improvement, based upon their first set of scores. This would reduce the impact of bias
health issues facing the differed populations of the United States today, and these health concerns differ between males and females, income levels, and races. As such, it is important, prior to discussing any particular health concern, to first establish the target age cohort for which information is to be presented. Once this cohort is established, creating programs targeted to a specific population becomes a much simpler task. This paper discusses
There are several kinds of scenarios. However, in this paper, we limit our discussion to the decision-driven and vision-driven scenarios as proposed in the work of Courtney (2003). We however extend this discussion to involve the three levels of performance as proposed by Rummler and Brache (1995). The argument of course is based on the general consensus that the vision-driven scenarios are best suited for issues occurring at the organizational level
