Self-Assessment the Effective Use of Qualitative Research

Self-Assessment

The effective use of qualitative research

When I first embarked upon this course, I only had a vague idea about the purposes of the different qualitative research methods. While I knew the distinctions between grounded theory, case studies, phenomenology, narratives, and ethnographies on an intellectual level, when I assessed different studies over the course of my own research, I was less concerned about the different processes used to reveal the results than I was about the results themselves. By virtue of taking this course, I am much more process-oriented in my analysis. Now I see it is impossible to understand the results of a study without an intimate understanding of how those results were achieved. Critiquing and understanding the final conclusions requires a full understanding of the assumptions and methods of the researcher.

A researcher's choice of methods can affect the accuracy of the results and the standards by…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment of Emotional Intelligence Intelligence Overall My

Self-ASSESSMENT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Intelligence

Overall, my emotional intelligence score is 82. Scores of 80 -- 89 are considered strong, and those people with scores in that range can count their emotional intelligence as a strong upon which they should continue to build. This is interesting news for me. Emotional intelligence is an issue in education and in the professional world that has garnered increased attention in the 21st century. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence is now two decades old. At first, considered radical and tenuous, now is considered practical and growing increasing more necessary in order to function in this 21st century society, as well as a sought after commodity and skill. I do have confidence in my score, but very good scores are sometimes difficult. They are better than average, yet they are not outstanding. Very good scores require very fine tweaking in order to push them just…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment and Reflection

Self-Assessment and eflection

According to Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ (July 1997): "Self-awareness includes the competencies of emotional awareness, accurate self-assessment and self-confidence. Skill in knowing about personal strengths and limits and self-worth are related to these competencies." Various professional tests I have taken have provided me with some insights into my own personality characteristics and personal and professional strengths. For example, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, my personality type is ISTJ (introverted, sensory, thinking, judging), which I find useful in assessing my own personality style and strengths. The Fundamental Interpersonal elations Orientation-Behavior (FIO-B) test, an assessment tool used for improving working relationships and individual effectiveness, places me at the midway point between 'need for inclusion' and 'need for total control'. In other tests I have taken, results indicate personality characteristics including self-confidence; adaptability; initiative; empathy; service orientation, and ability in…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment and Appraisal Who Am

Assessment Synthesis

Some of my mistrust may come from my personal timeliness, and my sense that teams can occasionally procrastinate and pull other people back. Accepting others differences is indeed difficult. (Kroeger, Thuesen & Rutledge, 2002, p. 3) I need to make the differences of others work better for both myself, and my organization. Even if I am doing a good job, I must make my internal criticism of others less judgmental. (Kroeger, Thuesen & Rutledge, 2002, p.7) Instead of just buckling down and working harder, as I have always done, I need to strive to make the work styles of others work for me, rather than against me, and combine the mutual skills of everyone at the office to realize the goal of a project.

Of course, I would like to retain my strengths as an individual. My desire to exercise leadership potential and to learn more at work…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment Disc Self-Assessment This Paper

There are no good or bad personalities, and diversity creates strength. This is particularly true in terms of teams, where having D, I, S, and C-types working harmoniously together enables all tasks to get done by the individuals with the greatest core strengths in specific interpersonal areas. Different team members can compensate for one another's weaknesses.

One problem with team-building between different types, however, is the fact that the different types often have radically different communication styles. The C-type's focus on facts and data may conflict with an S-type's focus on people. But many people, including myself, are made up of a conglomeration of different types and merely exhibit tendencies towards one type or the other. This means that there may be more points of commonality than one might initially suspect. Still, in a diverse work team based upon DISC principles, it might be a good idea for people to…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment Assessment of Writing Paul

The all Street gurus who had trumpeted deregulation were now seen demanding a bail-out from the federal government. For business enterprises to thrive today demands an astute understanding of philosophy and ethics, which is why professors are weaving Rousseau and systems theory into enterprise courses.

To understand the nature of business ethics, it is also critical to understand systems thinking. A business does not operate in isolation from the environment in which it operates. The University of Denver publication "The Essence of Enterprise" points out that "Every system has a purpose within a larger system." The business is therefore a system within a larger community. Ethics begins with an awareness of how businesses impact more than just their shareholders. Businesses impact the environment, the social and political climate, and the economic stability of whole regions.

The managing of risk is a constant ethical dilemma in business. How much risk is…… [Read More]

Another option is to run a nursery school. This would be more intellectually challenging, as preschool preparation is often an integral part of these facilities. Also, it demands a more structured day, more experienced and competent teaching personnel, and often children stay longer at the site. Parents feel comfortable leaving their children in the care of others for longer periods of time when the children are older. For this business, advertising is likely to be more formal and less on a word-of-mouth basis than for a home or group day care center for young children, as parents wish to find the most competent individuals to prepare their children for entering school. This would be more ideal for my previous sales, marketing, and managerial experience. I would be able to make decisions about how to shape and have an impact on the children's lives.

Careers in the corporate sector, especially those within multinational organizations, NGOs or government agencies would be the ones most suitable for my personality and value system. Similarly, my ability to deal with change and stress make me well-suited for careers in the global business environment, in which I would be expected to travel and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds than my own.

The Gospel and Personal eflection" offers advice on how to navigate through the world with greater self-awareness. As an ISTJ, I know that I work best in a structured environment. I expect loyalty from others because I exhibit it myself. Thus, I would do well to avoid individualistic work environments or situations that incite competition due to a lack of internal consistency and cooperation. At the same time, Fischer suggests developing a sense of understanding for different personalities and communication styles. An ISTJ does tend to…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment Writing and Research Skills

Another problem is that, in the light of the volume of information, I also find it difficult to construct sensible paragraphs to present my ideas and information in a logical way. Because academic writing depends upon the presentation of ideas in a logical and concise way, I believe that this will be one of my main areas of focus when I attempt to improve myself.

Growth Plan

One of the most important element of a growth plan is self-knowledge. I now have a knowledge of my precise strengths and weaknesses, which I can use to construct a self-development plan.

The first part of my plan will then involve finding a way to use my strengths in order to improvement weaknesses. In research, my major strength is my ability to find relevant, high-quality academic information. A weakness is that I find rather to much of this to allow time for a…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment on Death We Are

Even if there is a world hereafter, because that world will be so inconceivably different, I cannot enter it calmly, with open arms. Part of me is glad that I cannot, like Emily Dickinson say coolly: "Because I could not stop for death/he kindly stopped for me." hen I am older, perhaps, I may be able to confront death with resigned acceptance. I have known people facing illness and old age who say that they have no regrets, and simply surrender and bow to the inevitable. But I can only think of all of the things I still wish to do in life, when I hear the world 'death.' I think of my loved ones, of children whom I will never be able to see grow old. I even wonder who will take care of my pets.

Our culture and other cultures deal with death through euphemisms. The metaphors of…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment in a Group

Recent experiences with a team project more clearly demonstrated my general strengths and weaknesses when working with a group of people. The particular team research project involved investigating a small internet advertising company with three Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and forty employees. Our main tasks can be divided into three significant categories: finances, interpersonal relationships, and specific tasks. For example, we determined the monetary feasibility of the company, taking into account salary levels, benefits packages and bonuses for employees, as well as turnover rates. We also analyzed interactions inside and outside of the office as well as the feedback and performance appraisals given by employees. Finally, we investigated the distribution of tasks and clients and examined the type of direction in which the company was headed.

We held several team meetings to discuss our research projects. One of my strongest points was an excellent attendance level.…… [Read More]

Many of my greatest weaknesses and strengths can be attributed to my being an international student who has spent only one and a half years in the United States. Because of the language barrier and culture shock, I have often had to contend with shyness in my relationships and especially in group settings. I am still learning a lot about American culture and customs and feel often that I lag behind in terms of understanding certain ways of life and means of communication. However, learning how to overcome my weaknesses has also created much self-confidence and strength of character. Although group settings are still difficult for me sometimes, I try to maintain a positive attitude and sense of humor. I have noticed immense improvements since I first arrived here and am sure that these improvements will continue as I immerse myself even more.

You should discuss your strengths and weaknesses using these, and your plan for enhancing your assets and reducing your limitations.

I am familiar with the general principles of ethics that are mainly intuitive, for instance, respecting the other, treating their coincidences confidentially, and not manipulating them in any way as well as not having dual relationships. The ethics of counseling / social work / related disciplines are actually intuitive and built into the system with all the details revolving around this.

On the other hand, I do need to gain a greater in-depth familiarity with the various nuances so that I familiarize myself with different situations and know how to apply myself in particular situations that may differ from the rule. I…… [Read More]

Self-evaluation Self-assessment for Leaders People Are Influenced by

Self-Evaluation/Self-Assessment for Leaders

People are influenced by leaders. Leaders cannot affect people without understanding why people behave the way they do. Successful and effective leaders are, therefore, learners of human behavior. Good leader not only try to understand the personalities and psychology of their subordinates but they also consistently evaluate and assess themselves in order to be productive (Clawson 2001). Till date, no studies have produced a clear profile of an ideal leader; his authoritative styles, distinctive characteristics or personality traits. This makes it crystal clear that authentic leaders know who they are. They don't imitate or become replicas of others. On the other hand, they "demonstrate a passion for their purpose, practice their values consistently, and lead with their hearts as well as their heads" (George, Sims, McLean & Mayer 2007). All of us are endowed with the competence to motivate and empower others. However, one must devote himself/herself…… [Read More]

Self-Assessment This Course Forced Me

Of course, this is only one perspective on history. But one of the most exciting things about reading Guns, Germs, and Steel, and the March of Folly is that they had such a clear perspective, unlike the textbook the Human Venture. Sometimes when a historian tries too hard to be objective, it is hard for the reader to make sense of a long narrative of historical facts, and it is better to read different biased perspectives and come to one's own conclusion as a student. Also, there is really no such thing as pure objectivity, as even to tell the story from the perspective of a person of the present, looking at the past carries within itself the tendency to see the conclusions of what occurred as inevitable.

Self-Assessment Using the Self-Assessment to Determine Innate

Self-Assessment

Using the self-assessment to determine innate and emerging strengths in the area of project management provides insights not easily determined any other way. It is difficult for anyone to accurately and objective assess their own strengths and weaknesses, which makes the self-assessment framework so valuable as a means to objectively measure one's abilities. An innate strength of any effective leader is the continual maturation of their Emotional Intelligence (EI), including have a grasp of their innate strengths, weaknesses and area for improvement (Nicholas, Hidding, 2010). The assessment has provided these insights and provides a foundation future leadership development through the continual addressing weaknesses and fine-tuning of strengths. The experience completing the assessment was insightful and very positive in that it provided valuable guidance on areas of weakness that need to be addressed, and brought out areas of strength not expected. The assessment provided a roadmap for continual management and…… [Read More]

A Self Assessment of Wellness

Self-Assessment

The four parts of the mandala indicate the balance that I feel is most important. One of the concepts at work here, however, is the interrelatedness of things. I have physical as being the most important, because in my experience feeling good physically has a lot to do with how you feel mentally. When I am tired, run down, or sick I have a much harder time keeping my spirits up. I am quicker to become upset, so less patient, and ultimately I feel that I am less productive as well. Feeling bad physically can result in sinking into a funk for a while until I feel better. Thus, my physical well-being is substantially tied to my emotional well-being as well. I have emotional as second because I feel that it flows from the physical, though arguably these are two halves of the same equation, and could be given…… [Read More]

Leadership and Self-Evaluation

What is Self-Assessment/Evaluation?

Self-Assessment or the process of evaluating oneself refers to the way in which one reviews and analyzes the credibility and value of their own work or personality. Although this field might be referred and categorized under the specialization of psychology, it is important to recognize the importance of this in our daily life and in the various tasks we indulge in on a regular basis. Grading oneself on the basis of different aspects will help one determine where they stand and how smoothly they fit into a criteria.

How does self-evaluation assist leaders?

Self-evaluation, as discussed above can be applied to a variety of fields and has a variety of purposes. For a leader, this process might come in handy in order to recognize their own expertise, qualities and determine exactly what they are best at. An effective and competent leader would be well…… [Read More]

Security Self-Assessment Coyote Systems Security

The management control area of authorize processing including certification and accreditation has been defined within Coyote Systems through the use of roles-based logins and access privileges and the use of certification of role-based access to ensure security. The company has found that through the use of role-based security authentication and the defining of rights by role, the certification and accreditation audits are far more efficient in being completed, and provide far greater value. The previous approach of stratifying authorization to use systems within the company and the definition of access privileges by application, development tool, development region, or workbench development areas accessible globally over the network have been redesigned to define role-based approvals instead. This approach to roles-based workflows and the integration of only those system resources required for use has made auditability and compliance, hence certification more efficient. If there is variation from a role-based process alerts are immediately…… [Read More]

My personal philosophy of education is based on ethical principles like equality and social justice, which is also what drove me to learn more about how I can contribute to the field of special education.

I have a plan for my own life as well, and this plan is aligned with my current efforts, including my leadership studies. I may not be the most charismatic leader, but I will have good plans that when implemented will lead to success.

I am generally open to change, and I enjoy experiencing new things. I am cautious with respect to making major changes, because I want to evaluate what the impact of those changes might be, but for minor changes I am usually willing to try new things. I am less an influencer, however. I tend to feel that others should make up their own minds with respect to change -- forcing people out of their comfort zone is not something that I do much. I will need to be more assertive with respect to motivating others to make changes, however. Doing so will make me a stronger…… [Read More]

Organizational Behavior

An Analysis of how Self-Evaluation and Self-Assessment relates to Leadership Today

The modern organizational environment must keep pace with changes that are occurring at a historically unprecedented rate. Many of these changes are driven by technology and require that leaders continually learn new skills in order to stay abreast of needed skill requirements. It is often the case that a leader will have difficulty getting performance feedback from their superiors because they generally do not work in close contact with supervisors and in some case may not even have one at all. Therefore a leader must rely on self-assessments primarily to further develop the skill set that will allow them to help their organization create or maintain a competitive advantage.

Ethical Self-Assessment

Ethical Self-Assessment

The role of ethics in healthcare is to mitigate risks and ensure oversight of each strategic process area, ensuring patient treatment quality consistency and transparency. The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Code of Ethics and its self-assessment provide foundational insights into how ethical decisions can be more effectively made and how decision making can align effectively to the ACHE standards. Ethics are the foundation of patient trust and need to be the catalyst of transparency throughout a healthcare provider organization to the practice level and ultimately solidifying patient and healthcare provider collaboration to common goals (Higgins, Gross, Hackett, 2000). In the highest-performing healthcare providers, there is a tight alignment of patient expectations and the need for transparency on the one hand, and the ethics and willingness of a healthcare provider to disclose data and knowledge necessary to keep treatment plans progressing (Frederick, Wasieleski, Weber, 2000). In addition…… [Read More]

Leadership Self-Assessment Analysis

Leadership Self-Assessment Analysis

In the wake of the corporal scandals of Enron and the Arthur Anderson Company, there have been increased calls for strong ethical leadership. Leadership had always been regarded as a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness of any organization. However, new models are also being developed to challenge the limitations of the prevailing classical theories of leadership.

This paper argues for a tempered approach, one that combines effective leadership with good management. Both factors are important, since over-managed and under-led organizations tend to lose sight of their goals. By the same token, while charismatic leaders can lead their organizations to high levels of success, the lack of management skills means that such victories do not last in the long run.

The growing awareness of corporate and white-collar crime has likewise presented new challenges to the classical leadership model. Organization leaders should now be wary of lawsuits the…… [Read More]

Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Reveals Several

We are more than welcome to assist any client who has trouble understanding anything. However, we do not offer to meet with clients whose first language is not English to decipher communications that they might not understand. Making this effort goes a long way toward promoting client health and well being.

We do have bilingual staff but Spanish is the only language besides English that is well-represented. It would be more helpful to hire people who have some command of other languages that our clients might speak. One of the areas I believe we do well in is sensitivity to diverse views of family and health. We allow extended members of the family to visit and consult with them too. I understand that people from different cultures grieve differently, too. Finally, I would be better off reading peer-reviewed journal articles as to the most current best practices that take cultural…… [Read More]

ACHE Self-Assessment Taking This Ethics

My plans for fixing this area of ethical weakness is simply t more carefully observe the behavior of the individuals within my organization, and to feel more open in expressing any concerns I have. I also think I should become more proactive in my dealings with other administrators, specifically in the areas of encouraging individual community service and organizational involvement in community health needs and opportunities. These are issues I am strongly committed to, and though I do not view my reticence as unethical, my opinion will only do good when voiced, so in a way I suppose I am doing a disservice by not speaking out more often.

2) Personal, organizational, and global ethics are different only in scope. The basic premise of most ethical systems can be expressed by the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Though the specifics of the…… [Read More]

Ethics Self-Assessment

Ethics in Health Care

The role of ethics within the medical profession is extremely important and it is extremely necessary to abide by a high standard of ethical behavior while working in this industry. The trust that patients and people place within the medical profession dictates this high level of ethical behavior. The purpose of this essay is to examine the influence of individual ethics on decision making the health care industry using the ACHE self-assessment test as a guide to highlight key issues regarding this approach.

The ACHE self-assessment provided some, but not much guidance on the way medical professionals should conduct their business. Many of the questions were quite superficial and did not really hit at the true ethical issues that are present within the medical field. For me, ethics cannot be standardized to the extent where there are automatic responses to challenging situations. ather, the ethical approach…… [Read More]

Score for This Self-Assessment Exercise

3)

My scores for this Self-Assessment exercise were 5, 13 and 14 for money as power, retention time, and anxiety respectively. My score for money as power was therefore well below average, while the other two were respectively slightly below and slightly above average. My total score was 32; somewhat below average.

I was not surprised by these scores. I have very little regard for money in terms of status. I do not believe that success can be measured in one's bank balance, as there are so many personal factors that also play a role in what constitutes one's status in life. I also do not believe that this will ever change, regardless of internal or external factors. This is a consistent value that has resulted from my ability to observe and think critically about life and what is important.

In terms of retention time, I am quite conscientious regarding…… [Read More]

Emotional Awareness Self-Assessment and Self-confidence

Innovation comes into the picture when a leader has the self-knowledge and self-confidence to devise innovative solutions. Leaders without a high level of self-confidence will typically be more conservative in their approach, and that can make it more difficult for those leaders to adjust. Innovation, therefore, comes from having a high level of confidence in one's abilities -- and that in turn comes from understanding your skills and how they can be best put to use in a given situation.

The article is insightful with respect to the role that emotional intelligence, particularly with regard to oneself, plays in decision-making. While managers often see themselves as highly rational, we all use our intuition more than perhaps we realize. The lesson to take from this is not that intuition should be suppressed, but that we should better understand the processes that affect that intuition. The more we know about ourselves, how…… [Read More]

Leading Organizations -- Self-Assessment Based

I decided to take their idea of turning the adoption of the system into a game, and it would be one entirely available offline as well. This would give the older workers a chance to compete and see their progress. I devised a game of showing not productivity, but customer satisfaction -- a rare metric that was captured in our post-department surveys. The senior managers of the department had extensive dashboards on productivity alone and were at times too obsessed with it, I thought. People in the department considered their worth in productivity alone, not so much in the customer satisfaction they delivered. Focusing on that metric, I put together a short dashboard and had a meeting with everyone in the department, saying that the new system would be used for showing how they as a team delighted and excelled for our internal customers. Immediately the barriers came down with…… [Read More]

Control Self-Assessment (CSA), also known as internal audit risk assessment is one of the management tools used to facilitate workers to be more effective in realizing their goals and managing associated risks which occurs, as a result. In risk management, organizations can "systematically identify potential exposures, take corrective actions early, and learn from those actions to achieve objectives" (David, 2004, p.6).

CSA in a company takes place to control and maybe to develop more controls if required within the company or a department. Within an organizational department, the employees are to determine the hindrances to be overcome or the strength to be leveraged and they are to agree on the most appropriate action to do to improve on the situation. One of the strengths of this management tool is that, it brings employees together, so that they can be able to identify and focus…… [Read More]

Clinician's Mirror Cultural Self-Assessment in

He looks at the methodological and practical problems that can impact assessment research in correctional settings, including the distinctive culture in correctional institutes. Megargee's reason for doing the research is today's huge population of incarcerated persons and the fact that psychological research that has been conducted on people outside of the incarceration setting may not be applicable to people who are incarcerated. He recognizes that there is a need for research in this area to determine whether tools developed elsewhere are applicable. He points out the irony of this lack of applicable research because clinical psychology was developed in the criminal justice setting. He does not really conduct any individual research, therefore the methodology is most akin to a literature review in which he assesses the information available about correctional institutions and draws conclusions from that information to determine why there is a lack of research on assessment in correctional…… [Read More]

Self-Supervision in Counseling Given the

If a psychotherapist is used to assessing their own performance then they themselves will be that much more effective. That benefits all parties involved for patient to doctor. A counselor's duties are first and foremost, pushing and challenging their client in a safe environment. it's imperative that a client feel unthreatened but still be pushed beyond their comfort zone which, oftentimes, becomes interacting with daily life. How then, to judge growth?

If a counselor is self-employed then it becomes crucial to continuously and regularly check and grade oneself for the client. Any form of therapy produces some resistance to changing old ways. Client's often feel their not moving or growing when in reality, they've made huge strides they cannot see. With no supervisor to answer to and the misinterpretation by the patient themselves, self-assessment is key. Identifying what techniques are helping and what are hindering. Only in education are we…… [Read More]

Assessments of Literacy Learning in Ireland

Literacy in Secondary School in Ireland

The literacy curriculum in secondary school in Ireland is based on a strategy of language-related lesson modifications, identified by Peregoy and Boyle as good methods of ensuring that differentiation occurs in the classroom. This strategy allows for the use of "visuals, concrete objects, direct experience, and other nonverbal means to convey lesson content" alongside the main lesson taught by the teacher in the classroom (Peregoy, Boyle 86). In my area, this is consistent with what we experienced in school, and differentiation is a huge part of the cycle -- as much of what is centered on literacy is done so with direct relation to experiential learning, the use of visual aids, and the expression of ideas identified in readings via nonverbal means, such as drawings, videos or performance in the classroom. At the same time, there is a notable urgency among literacy leaders and…… [Read More]

Counselor Self-Assessment Project

Value Orientation

I tend to prefer eclectic counseling above all other modalities, generally scripting my practice towards particular individuals and directing my approach towards his or her personality. That is as it should be. Nonetheless, I myself have certain preferences and these are in order of rank: behaviorism (not excluding mentalism); most aspects of Rogerian counseling; a barely-known approach called 'focusing; and the essence of Beck's (1999) approach (not rational emotive therapy which I consider subjective and ethnocentric as well as time-bound).

The aspect that I like about behaviorism is its practical quality. Studies (e.g. Feldman & Kokinov, 2009) have shown that emotional regurgitation (or emoting) is detrimental to a person's peace of mind and diverts them from dealing with the problem. Life, it seems to me, is absorbed with 'doing'; rather than' being', and my observations of successful and content people shows that, oftentimes, the most emotionally and mentally…… [Read More]

Different Models of Health and Healing

Models of health and healing influence patient attitudes and lifestyle, and also impact health seeking and healthcare behaviors. Often, the concept of healing a patient has will come from cultural or religious beliefs However, healthcare workers also operate within their own models of health and healing, which could conflict with those of their patients. When nurses become more aware of the different models, they can better communicate with patients about healthcare issues.

Physical Body: The Mechanistic View

The rise of empiricism and the triumphs of modern science gave rise to the view that the body itself can be treated as a discreet system. Although the mechanistic view can be traced back as far as Asclepiades, it was never fully accepted as a viable model of health and healing until the 20th century (Curtis & Gaylord, 2004, p. 8). The mechanistic view predominates…… [Read More]

Leadership Self-Assessment Quizzes

enhance the reliability of this exercise, I requested Alex, a good friend of mine, to rate me by checking statements he believed to be generally true about me. I then proceeded to complete the assessment exercise by checking statements that I believed were a true reflection of myself. Later on, I compared Alex's analysis with my self-analysis. This exercise, I must say, was critical in the assessment of my interpersonal skills related to both leadership and influence. I was able to identify a number of specific behaviors that ought to be changed.

In brief, the exercise revealed that I am fond of telling others that which they want to hear, as opposed to the truth. Upon reflection, I found out that this I do to avoid hurting other people's feelings. I also routinely have trouble displaying or demonstrating my true feelings. Again, this I do to avoid hurting others. Next,…… [Read More]

Reflection on Assessment Competencies for School Leadership

Assessment Competencies
Abstract
Assessment in education is referred to a range of tools or methods used by educators to measure, document and evaluate the academics readiness, skill acquisition, progress and learning needs of students. The tracking progress report plays an important role to the student since it gauges where they are heading in terms of academics. Assessment is often likened to the traditional standardized tests but educators nowadays, use different types of assessment tools or methods. In the past, normal tests were the way to go when assessing students. That has changes over the years. According to (Xu et.al, 2016) teacher assessment literacy has defined the field of research. Educators have come up with innovative ways to ensure that none of the traditional ways sees the light of day. Assessment involves a holistic evaluation of students or a leader. The result should bring a positive impact on the lives of…… [Read More]

Self-Monitoring in Education Putting Individuals With Intellectual

Self-Monitoring in Education

Putting individuals with "intellectual disabilities" and "challenging behaviors" into regular classrooms is clearly a good idea - the educational literature supports this. But what happens once they are in the classroom? How does one then improve the social behavior and learning opportunities of these students? One idea, cooperative learning (also called peer tutoring), does show some promise; however, another idea based around the technique of self-monitoring/self-recording is specifically highlighted in the article under discussion. This method (which trains a student to identify, record and modify inappropriate behavior) was introduced to a certain thirteen-year-old girl named Pauline who had lived in a Romanian orphanage for ten years and had suffered "severe deprivation and abuse." The specific behaviors targeted in Pauline were stereotypic in quality (body-rocking and hand gazing) as well as consistent in quantity (they occurred consistently throughout the school day).

This "targeting" of behavior took the form…… [Read More]

Self and Social Psychology

Social psychology is a relatively new field of study in modern science. Its focus is on the identity of the "Self" -- the sense of individuality: the component parts that make up who one "is" and the meaning of the "whole" Self. This paper acts as a referenced for individuals unfamiliar with the general principles of social psychology. It aims to provide the reader with a basic overview of the field and to define key principles often used by social psychologists.

Discovering the Self

Self-Concept, Awareness, and Self-Schemas

Discovering the Self in social psychology can seem as simple as posing the question, "Who am I?" (Myers, 2010, p. 13). But answering the question is where the discovery of Self really begins. One's sense of identity, sense of self, sense of gender, race, categorical social grouping all factor into the answer. "Who am I?" raises the issue…… [Read More]

Self-Monitoring Is a Very Important

If she indicates an interest in promotion and leadership, I will connect her existing behavior and its effects to her relatively slim chances of ever attaining such dreams.

Another problem is that ue is relatively new in the company and feels that she has to make an impression as a highly ambitious person. I will talk to ue about this and ask her about her definitions of ambition, and whether this should necessarily include aggression. I will impress upon her the necessity of honesty and teamwork. When she leaves my office, ue needs to be aware that her behavior is to change if she hopes to excel in a leadership position. I would therefore attempt to persuade sue by using her own beliefs and dreams.

In the case of Alice, I would also call her to my office and ask her whether she is aware of the opinions surrounding her…… [Read More]

Self-Directed Search Sds Cindy's Assessment

Cindy said she could see herself managing a fashion boutique, makeup studio, or retail store. This would use her flair for design, knowledge of business, and also her astute knowledge of people. Although she might need some additional education in beginning her own business, this would not be as extensive as going back to school, which Cindy feared she would have to do, to remain competitive in the working world.

Application of data to client

Cindy is a 'people person' at heart. Hopefully, this forced career change will be the proverbial blessing in disguise and allow her to explore previously hidden internal aspects of her vocational self. Although Cindy was frequently called upon to show leadership of other administrative personnel, she was often relegated to a supportive capacity at her previous place of employment. At the helm of her own business, in an occupation she loved, this would not be…… [Read More]

Self-Regulation Issues in Children and Adolescents With ADHD ODD and OCD

Self-egulation Issues in Children and Adolescence with ADHD, ODD, and OCD

Self-regulation in children and adolescence who suffer from ADHD, ODD, and OCD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder) is often evident due to several things. A lot of the issues in relation to self-regulation stem from additional anxiety the child/teen may feel from the difficulties experienced from these kinds of mental disorders. OCD is known to cause anxiety and isolationist behaviors leading to decreased emotional self-regulation. ADHD at times can cause hyperfocus, making it difficult for the child/teen to switch tasks therefore limiting their ability to handle their emotions and activities that assist in regulating themselves. ODD, connected to ADHD, is a disorder that has the child react angrily and spitefully to people in otherwise normally responsive situations. The extreme feelings of children or adolescence who manifest ODD make it hard for them to…… [Read More]

Self-Directed Teams Self-Directed Work Teams

Moreover, the strong correlation between confidence in peers and communication/problem understanding demonstrated that it is the confidence and ability of these co-workers that encourage members of self-managing teams to gather new information and knowledge, so that they may create useful decisions in relation to problem solving. Confidence in peers resulted in a negative, not positive, impact on organization and negotiation. This suggested that confidence in peers has a negative effect in the process of organizing the dissemination of knowledge in self-managing teams. Thus, it is imperative for team members to trust their peers and management and, in doing so, create and share new knowledge and further the organization's opportunity to offer best solutions to clients. Present research lacks the empirical evidence supporting the relationship between interpersonal trust and knowledge acquisition. Especially, academicians and practitioners are interested in studying whether "interpersonal trust" advances the follower's knowledge acquisition practices -- knowledge sharing…… [Read More]

Self-Confidence Theory Adler Influence According

Within months after Winfrey took over, the show went from last place in the ratings to overtaking Donahue as the highest rated talk show in Chicago. It was renamed the Oprah Winfrey Show. And the rest is history.

Considering her past, childhood and experiences and positive outlook in life, she didn't let anything deter her from reaching her goal and becoming successful. In fact, she uses them to inspire and reach out to others.

Conclusion

Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that, within reason, they will be able to do what they wish, plan, and expect.

Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic…… [Read More]

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Communication

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Communication

Does the full moon really effect one's behavior? Does Friday the 13th really deserve extra precaution? Is a Harvard professor wiser than say an Appalachian hermit? Or is someone who abandons their life of wealth and fame, suffering from mental illness? Is one race or gender more adept at a particular profession than another? There is no scientific evidence that proves the full moon has any effect on a person's personality or behavior, yet those in law enforcement and the medical profession often say that crime, accidents, and psychotic behavior are higher during the full moon, moreover, many people say they feel more anxious or nervous during a full moon. Henry David Thoreau lived in the woods for several years, St. Francis of Assisi abandoned his wealth and military position for a life of poverty, and many people regard Friday 13th as a lucky day. Self-fulfilling…… [Read More]

Self-Advocacy Steps to Successful Transition

Still, Mason indicates that the opposite is often true in public education settings, where educators, parents and institutions collectively overlook the implications of research and demands imposed by law. Indeed, "despite the IDEA requirements, research results, teacher perceptions, and strong encouragement from disabilities rights advocate, many youth have been left out of IEP and self-determination activities. For example, 31% of the teaches in a 1998 survey reported that they wrote no self-determination goals, and 41% indicated they did not have sufficient training or information on teaching self-determination." (Mason et al., 442)

This is a troubling finding, and one which implicates the needed paradigm shift discussed already in the research endeavor. Clearly, as the matter is framed by Mason et al., educators and researchers have already acknowledged the value in the strategies addressed here. By contrast, institutional change has been hard won, with schools and administrators balking at making broad-based alterations…… [Read More]

Self-Change Project- Bedtime Prior to

An alarm was set each night signaling the self-agreed upon time for bed. I explained to friends and family that this was an important behavioral change in my life, as well as an academic exercise, and asked for their support. The process of self-change by using consciousness raising and reevaluation of goals and behavior were also an important part of the motivation for this study. I followed the prescribed agreement for a three-week period, realizing that I would need a few days at several levels in order to be successful (See Appendix B). At the end of three weeks my quality sleep averaged above 7.5 hours, thus increasing the basal measurement by 50% (from 5.0 hours to 7.5 hours).

Discussion- the intervention was a success and there was a clear set of lifestyle and behavioral changes that were made. General feelings of self-worth, sense of direction, and contentment/happiness with the…… [Read More]

Facilitating, teaching and assessment in practice

The facilitation, teaching and assessment of nurses are important and critical jobs. Hospitals understand that it is cost effective for them to have a senior employee mentor the junior employees so that they are soon trained enough to be on their own at work. Mentors are employees that have supervisory as well as leadership qualities to teach and facilitate learners. The nurse mentor carries on the job by assessing and evaluating the methods that can be used to facilitate the nurse. These methods may include but are not limited to lectures and discussion. The processes of facilitation and teaching depends on the capacity of both the mentor as well as the learner. The following discussion will focus on mentor and learner backgrounds, learning needs of the learner and the responsibilities of both parties. It also offers…… [Read More]

Learning Assessments the Various Methods

e. In instances where the students have already demonstrated a diversity of learning styles (DeCastro-Ambrosetti & Cho, 2005). The use of authentic assessments includes greater student directive-ness and increased empowerment and self-guidance and -reliance in the learning process.

Self-assessment is seen by many to be the culmination of the individualization of learning assessment, but when this occurs solely for the purposes of accountability, learning is far from guaranteed (Gaytan & McEwen, 2007). This is partially due to the difference students and instructors, at least in the study conducted by Gaytan and McEwen (2007), perceive in the purpose of self-assessment tests; students viewed them primarily as a way to receive feedback as to their progress and achievement, while instructors saw them more as a way to make sure students understood the material (Gaytan and McEwen, 2007). Both views underline the usefulness of self-assessments, but perhaps they can be best applied by…… [Read More]

Clinical Assessment of Learners Clinical Assessment Involves

Clinical Assessment of Learners

Clinical assessment involves the evaluation of technical skills, communication skills, professionalism, knowledge base, and teaching skills, where applicable, of students who are about to enter independent practice. Technological changes have made it possible to assess clinical performance in ways that are far more advanced than pencil and paper tests relied on in the past (Dauphinee, 1995). In the late 1970s, clinical training programs utilized continuous practical assessments to evaluate learner competencies and as means of providing formative assessment feedback. These continuous practical assessments were considered to be "a much more valid, reliable, and realistic method of assessment" (Quinn, 1989). As clinical placements grew shorter and the number of staff, including those with "supernumerary status" grew larger, the quality of continuous practical assessments was substantively impaired (Girot, 1993). The goal of assessment has always been to identify a "competent practitioner" and to support the educational efforts required…… [Read More]
