Program evaluation is needed so workers can remove anything from their program that was not needed, or add more attention to another direction of the program. Yuen, and Taro explain that a program evaluation “measure[s] and assess[es] the desirability and quality of the plan and its program.” (2003) Since the needs of people are always changing, it is important to have a program plan with a frequent evaluation. Evaluations can change the plans to better fit the
The client may also come to the sessions having drawn up their own plans for progressing. This shows that the client is ready for change and is being much more assertive with their counsellor. A client counsellor session can also start to become quite stagnant. No further development would show that something is amiss. This is usually as a result of the client needing to gain more from their sessions rather than continually going over the same issues.
In other words, it’s not what you say but rather how you say it. Remember our selection, use of words, and delivery are also being perceived and interpreted by the receiver on the other end of the communication process. For instance, according to Julia Wood, she states, “Communication influences how we perceive people and situations”. (Interpersonal Communications, 2010, pg. 68) To repeat, the observations that we make daily affect our use of words.
Running head: PERSONALITY OVERVIEW Personality Overview Joyce Hauk University of Phoenix Theories of Personality PSY/405 Jackie Grimmett Jun 16, 2012 Personality Overview Various theories allow a multitude of perspectives and since there are numerous personalities that differ from each other immensly, diverse theories are necessary for a better perspective of an individual. Personality theories are best explained by viewing two different theories and comparing how they operate against one another. Comparing these theories can help one discover more about their own personal strengths and weaknesses, assumptions, limitations, as well as what information is considered when attempting to enlightenment an individual about

We discover it takes different people different amounts of time to accept these consequences and move
In other words, they answer the question What drives behaviour? It is important to remember that the following are theories, none of which have been conclusively shown to be valid. Nonetheless, they are helpful in providing a contextual framework for dealing with individuals Process theory is a commonly used form of scientific research study in which events or occurrences are said to be the result of certain input states leading to a certain outcome (output) state, following a set process. Another theory that attempts to explain human behavior is Content theory. Process theory holds that if an outcome is to be duplicated, so too must the process which originally created it, and that there are certain constant necessary conditions for the outcome to be reached.
On the other hand, cognitivists believe that by reflecting on our own experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world. Though theses two schools of psychology are very much different, they do have their similarities. Behaviorism and cognitivism are similar in that they both attempt to explain and describe how learning occurs in individuals. Both are also valuable learning theories. They observe the response individuals make to different situations or different conditions.
Multiple measures refers to “using multiple sources and types of relevant information about persons or programs when making educational decisions” (Brookhart, 2009). There are many different viewpoints about what constitutes multiple measures and the reasoning behind them. From a teaching perspective, multiple measures are important in order to achieve validity. Brookhart supports that multiple measures are important in enhancing construct validity. It is fair to say that one cannot gain a complete understanding of a student’s capabilities from the results of only one test (Brookhart, 2009).
The first one is that individuality means more than claiming independence, it means achieving it by acknowledging the influences that have shaped my thinking, by sorting and evaluating my ideas and attitudes, and finally by choosing the best ideas by resisting the pressure of habit and by changing the ways that I think because the evidence tells me to do so. The second subject that was significant to me was how to distinguish a problem from an issue and how to solve them. Solving a problem means deciding what action will change the situation and make it better, whereas solving an issue means deciding what belief or viewpoint is the most reasonable. The third subject was discussed in chapter 8 and taught us how to investigate a problem or issue. According to Ruggiero (2012), “It means getting information others overlook by searching in ways and places that never occur to the uncreative.” (p.138).
