Participation is important in several ways as it pertains to action research. Looking at people and their situations and their work at face value rather than something expected or considered the norm is major factor for participation. Participation requires participants have the necessary skills, input and outcome that will reflect participant effectiveness with regard to the situation. There is also a need for a feeling of oneness among participants. Another major component is the need to allow people to perform various jobs and actively engage themselves in the process.
Discuss how reflection can develop professional practice through critically analysing two different models/theories of reflection in this module. The definition of reflection has been defined differently by various authors. Cottrell (2010) suggests that reflection is a type of thinking that is linked to gaining a better understanding of something and that it is also an important part of the learning experience and where we can make sense of the experience. This can be related to Boyd and Fales (1983) who suggest that reflection is a process which can be used to examine and explore an area of concern and which could potentially end in a changed perspective. These views can be compared to Boud et al.
Scenario A bank wants to put together an information pack to help students understand the business world and have asked you to put certain parts of the pack together. Task 1 P1 – Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses. [RL] To complete this you must investigate two businesses that are very different to each other. You must present the findings of your
KPI development is therefore most often spearheaded by the committee responsible for strategic planning and/or accreditation efforts with the support of subcommittees that focus on specific issues and cull input from department heads, faculty, and staff members over an extended period of time. Recommendations of each subcommittee may be used to define strategic goals based on past accomplishments, new challenges, and consideration of mission statements and institutional goals. During this process, administrators develop KPIs which reflect various components of the institution’s strategic goals and are essentially what will be used to monitor the institution’s progress and determine its success. KPIs may also serve as the basis for subsequent action plans. The appropriateness of each measure is commonly determined by a committee and may depend largely on what data are already available.
Comparison of the Research Questions Each of the researchers takes a different approach to generate significant data and answer critical questions about the prominent leadership theories of our time. The researchers in
Abstract This paper will focus on research studies, collection of data, analyzing data, human participants of research studies, selection of research candidates, and treatment of research participants. It will also compare the various methods of research and data collection. Lastly, report should help to answer the question, “What can researchers do to protect the rights and ensure ethical treatment of human participants in research studies?” ETHICAL TREATMENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH STUDIES Research administration and leadership directly help to serve the needs of researchers, scientists, research programs, instructions, and the public. Research can be classified as an encompassing profession that integrates all of the many arts and sciences that serves as the foundational make-up of research. When it comes to understanding the arts and sciences and creating and developing a research program, one must keep in mind the importance and concerns of the treatment of participants and ethical conduct.
This paper will research if organizational strategy is developed over time and with input from the members of the organization. Another function of organizational strategy that will be investigated is whether or not organizational structure plays a part. For example, is strategy different for a matrix organization verse a divisional organization? And finally this paper will review how often strategy is updated and how do you adapt a strategy if there is a lack of success. In the end there are many things that affect organizational strategy.
These factors consider the organisation’s team and reporting structure, level of support and commitment and the overall impact to the organisation. The factors are then quantified and prioritised based on these criteria then reviewed to ensure the projects do not exceed the organisation’s resource capabilities. The selection criteria may also include return of investment, risks and the time frame, PPM involves a strategic process that allows the decision makers’ to visualise and monitor the performance of each project by taking into account whether the project is performing or underperforming. PPM is gaining interest due to organisations abilities to respond to challenges confronted by a globalised, information-rich, dynamic and competitive environment. PPM has helped project officers negotiate between stakeholders according the to the organisation’s PPM status.
What actions would you take to ensure that employees in the organisation understood the need for improvement and were able to cope with the accompanying changes? In your report use examples or scenarios to support your theories and to demonstrate the need for effective continuous improvement processes. Tables, graphical diagrams, charts or statistical information can be included to help you explain and support your work. You will need to utilise works by several authors to develop the
Section one A theory which is an amalgam of interrelated ideas, is used to scrutinize and resolve a task at hand predictably, several theories can be in use simultaneously to look at the same problem so as to give a view of that problem from different angles. Theories can be used as a guiding principle to conduct research but this should be done only if one can visualize certain clear and tangible connection between an issue and the theory. So in essence a theory provide us an opportunity in understanding a
