A Parametric Analysis of Rehearsal Opportunities on Procedural Integrity

Behavioral skills training (BST) involves instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. Despite its empirical support, the literature provides little to no guidance regarding the best way to implement rehearsal to ensure accurate implementation of behavioral procedures. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a parametric analysis of rehearsal opportunities within a BST package. We evaluated the effects of 1, 3, and 10 rehearsals with feedback on correct implementation of functional analysis (FA). Regardless of the number of rehearsals, 18 undergraduate participants effectively learned to implement FA conditions. The most efficient training involved the use of single rehearsals with feedback until meeting mastery criterion. Participants maintained integrity during a follow-up session and rated the use of rehearsal as highly acceptable.     

Developing criteria for healthy organizational change

Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify criteria for healthy change in organizations and to develop practical guidelines for intended change. We aimed to explore how change processes at the shop floor level can be better informed by consultants and labour inspectors. A total of 180 interviews were conducted with managers and employees in 90 units of public and private organizations in Norway. The interviews were analysed through four steps representing an expansion of grounded theory, and converted to qualitative analysis using QSR and N6 software. We found that organizational change processes were better managed by more attention to awareness of the local norms and diversity among employees in the perception and reactions to change efforts. An inspector or consultant should be aware of these phenomena in any change effort and tell the organization how to deal with them. The other three factors identified were early role clarification, manager availability, and using constructive conflicts to deal with change. They are all important coping mechanisms at the organizational level that will bring change processes onto a more optimal track if correctly managed. A healthy process empowers individuals instead of making them insecure and defensive in times of change. This will help them restore perceived control and promote job security, which benefits both them and the organization.     

Reducing turnover intent: supervisor and co-worker incivility and socialization-related learning

Emerging leaders are involved in a continual learning process that includes professional and personal identities that intersect and diverge. The identities are coupled with multiple roles and expectations that are embedded within work and non-work identities. This paper examines the impact of leadership development programmes on emerging leaders including the expectations and job demands that are integral to leadership work. More specifically, the paper examines the discourse between work and non-work identities and the strategies of leaders and organizations to strengthen or modify those identities. Monthly Activity Reports prepared by leadership participants were examined and used to support the findings. Additionally, environmental factors that shape the leaders' thoughts and behaviours were examined as the leaders struggled to maintain their core beliefs and work practices in a quest to become leaders or loyalists.     

改革开放以来公共政策制定过程中公民参与角色及演变

公共政策是对社会价值的权威分配,也是国家和政府的活动的依据与目标,因此公民参与既是公共政策的基本要求,又是检验公共政策在多大程度上代表民意的指标。本文梳理分析改革开放以来我国公共政策过程中公民参与角色经历三个发展阶段,即传统社会公共政策过程中对公民参与角色背离,转型社会公共政策过程中公民参与角色的复苏和现代公民社会中公民权利意识觉醒带来角色回归。结合具体情境剖析其得失,为我们在公共政策过程中如何吸纳民意和在多大程度让公民有序合理的参与提供参考。     

PBL教学模式下师生角色定位探析

在新的教学理论和教学模式不断涌现的今天,作为教学环节决定性因素的教师和学生双方,其角色定位也在发生着变化,在大学英语课堂上,传统的教师角色正面临挑战。首先分析了PBL(Project-Based Learning,基于项目的学习)教学模式发展历史及内涵,并指出在新理念、新模式背景下,教师和学生应该重新认知自己在教学中的角色和地位,不断更新观念、提高自身素养,以适应当前教育教学的改革发展。     

论中国检察机关的宪法地位与作用

中国宪政体制确立了人大主权和机关分工的原则,全国人大总揽全部国家权力,制定宪法,依分工原则设立不同的国家机关,授予不同的宪法权力,检察机关是其一。检察机关与其他国家机关的地位平等,互不隶属,具有独立的宪法地位。从建国至今,检察机关组织法几经变迁,1979年《中华人民共和国人民检察院组织法》制定后,检察机关被认为不再享有一般监督权。此观点有违宪法的原意,现行宪法并未剥夺检察机关的一般监督权,检察机关享有完整的法律监督权。检察机关实际工作以打击各类犯罪为主,具有维护政治、社会和法律秩序的作用和功能。近年来,检察机关的政治功能被不断强化,法律监督的作用未能全面彰显。这是今后检察工作应当着力解决的问题。

论高校教师角色适应问题研究的必要性

高校教师角色适应不良表现：其一,高校教师职业倦怠严重;其二,高校教师感觉压力过大;其三,高校教师亚健康状况普遍,这些必然危及高校教育教学质量。当下,虽然高校教师角色适应不良问题十分突出,但由于它诱发于合理的多元背景即高等教育国际化给高校教师带来了严峻的挑战,社会转型给高校教师带来了巨大的冲击,高等教育大众化给高校教师带来了更重的负荷,高校内部管理体制改革给高校教师带来了更多的压力。因此,高校教师角色适应不良难以回避。从学理而言,研究高校教师角色适应问题具有十分明显的理论意义与实践价值。与已有的高校教师问题研究相比,研究高校教师角色适应问题在理论层面与实践层面均具有显著的意义。     

论外语教育社区化

外语教育社区化指将基础外语教育和高等外语教育融入社区教育,在发挥青少年学生社区主体作用的前提下,在利用社区教育资源与学校外语教育资源的兼容性和地域性的基础上,开发社区教育资源,挖掘学校外语教育延伸性课程资源。此构想符合科学发展观的要求,以人为本,着眼于青少年学生的发展,顺应《教育规划纲要》之后的时代发展要求,契合新课程改革和高等教育深化改革的需要。将基础外语教育和高等外语教育同时延伸到社区教育,使各类外语教育相互作用,有利于探索学校教育、社会教育和家庭教育三位一体的外语教育改革模式,有利于构建终身外语教育机制,全面提高社区居民的外语素质,构建学习型社区。
