A Study of Connection Between Manager¡¦s Core Competencies and Their Enhancement Methods in Case Company of China Steel Corporation.Kuo, Hsin-chin 14 July 2008 (has links)
China Steel Corporation (CSC), established for more than thirty years, faces a problem of hundreds of middle level managers who will retire from the company in the near future, many successors are needed in the short term. Thus, how to quickly and effectively upgrade the managerment competency of new managers through various learning method becomes an important subject. This study takes CSC as a practical case and uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze the connection between the manager core competencies and their enhancement methods .There are four core management competencies, including Planning& organization, Communications, Measurement & Evaluation and Executive Leadership, and there are four different learning methods also, including Job Experince ,Mentoring ,Classroom Lecturing,and Knowledge reading.
A total of 24 employees in CSC were interviewed, including eight new (be a mentee), 8 senior managers (experienced persons) and 8 senior directors (be a mentor). It was proceeded by questionnaire supplemented with in-depth discussion.This study also takes the references from both domestic and international literature reviews. Hill (2007), professor of Harvard University, pointed out that there are five misconceptions of managing ability for a new manager,and he also emphasized the importance of an experienced manager¡¦s mentoring role. So, this study take the Mentoring learing method as the main topic to compare with the other enhancement methods.
The study found that the Executive Leadership is the most important of four core management competencies in the case company CSC with a weighting 0.430. The Job experience and Mentoring are the most important of four enhancement methods with the weighting 0.357and 0.337. Moreover, The study result also indicates that the Mentoring is the best way to enhancement the competencies of the Executive Leadership. If the mentoring relationship can be set up at the very beginning stage when the new manager have promoted and be kept by one or two years, the learning effect will be more fruitful.

Aplicação do método de ensino Problem Based Learning (PBL) no curso de Ciências Contábeis: um estudo empírico / Applying Problem Based Learning (PBL) teaching method in the Accounting course: an empiric studySoares, Mara Alves 18 March 2008 (has links)
Mudanças têm ocorrido no perfil do estudante egresso contabilista, requerendo destes conhecimentos específicos das técnicas contábeis, e ainda desenvolvimento de competências múltiplas e visão holística do mundo dos negócios. Entretanto, pesquisas mostram que os estudantes não se sentem preparados ao concluir o curso de Ciências Contábeis. O método PBL traz como proposta o estímulo ao pensamento crítico, habilidades para solução de problemas e a aprendizagem de conceitos na área em questão. Este método diferencia-se das abordagens convencionais, pois o ensino é centrado no estudante, inicia-se com o uso de problemas, para direcionar, motivar e focar a aprendizagem. Porém, o uso do PBL ainda é incipiente na área contábil. O presente trabalho objetiva verificar a efetividade do método PBL no curso Ciências Contábeis da FEA-RP/USP. Os resultados estatísticos encontrados por meio da análise fatorial, alpha de Cronbach e regressão permitiram verificar que, a partir da adesão do estudante ao método, os mesmos ganham conhecimento na área, adquirem capacidade para resolução de problema, melhoram sua comunicação, desenvolvem habilidades, e adquirem confiança, apresentando consonância com o trabalho de Kanet e Barut (2003). Tal resultado também corrobora com meta-análise conduzida na área médica por Norman e Schmidt (2000) e Albanese e Michell (1993). Contudo, não há um método que resolva todos os problemas de ensino-aprendizagem. / Changes have been happening in the profile of exit accounting students, requiring from them not only specific knowledge of accounting techniques, but also the development of multiple competences and a holistic view of the business world. Research, however, has shown that the students do not feel well prepared when they finish their Accounting course. The PBL method proposes to stimulate critical thought, develop skills for the solution of problems, and also encourage students to learn concepts of their area. This method is different from conventional approaches because the teaching is student-centered; it begins with the use of problems to address, to motivate, and to focus the learning process. Nevertheless, the use of PBL is still incipient in the accounting area. The aim of this work is to verify the effectiveness of the PBL method in the Accounting course of FEA-RP/USP. The statistical results found through factorial analysis, alpha of Cronbach, and regression allowed us to verify that, when students adhere to the method, they gain knowledge in the area; they acquire the ability to solve problems; they improve their communication skills; they develop abilities; and they become more self-confident. These results are consonant with Kanet and Barut\'s (2003) work, and they also corroborate with goal-analysis carried out in the medical area by Norman and Schmidt (2000) and Albanese and Michell (1993). However, there is no method that solves all teaching-learning problems.

Verbal Interactions Among Elementary Students with the Jigsaw II Learning MethodGilbert, Katherine 01 May 1987 (has links)
The cooperative learning method, Jigsaw II, was implemented in a grade four social studies class for the purpose of examining the verbal interactions among students as they learned from each other. Jigsaw II is structured to enhance cooperation because each student has exclusive information that is needed by other group members to do well on a test. It was hypothesized that the more capable students in a heterogeneous learning group would help the less capable ones learn the material. As the lower ability students gained proficiency in teaching their information, the variance in the rates of speaking would be less at the end of the implementation of Jigsaw II than at the beginning. This did not happen. There was homogeneity of variance between the rates of speaking at the beginning and the end. The rate of positive verbalizations (learning the information and group functioning) was over 80% at the beginning and increased slightly during the implementation of Jigsaw II, but was not statistically significant. There was large variability in the rates of verbalizations among students, as well as large variability in rates of speaking for individuals across different learning group sessions. Any trends in changes of rates of speaking were obscured by the high variability. The verbalization rate of the high ability students doubled, the rate of the middle ability increased 32% and the rate of low ability students remained unchanged. On five quizzes administered over the learning unit, the high ability student attained the highest quiz scores, but the low ability students performed as well as the middle ability students.

Gender, Instructional Method, and Graduate Social Science Students' Motivation and Learning StrategiesSpahr, Mae Lynn 01 January 2015 (has links)
The purpose of the current study was to learn how gender and learning method affect motivation and learning strategies in psychology, counseling, and social work graduate students. The variables of gender, learning method, motivation, and learning strategies are used by the self-regulation model to learning and the theory of independent learning to measure a student's academic success. Increasing the knowledge of these variables will be of interest to academic institutions and to the field of educational psychology because little is known about their interaction. The study's design was factorial quasi-experimental; it used a cross sectional survey consisting of a 2 x 2 factorial design. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) were used to evaluate the variables. Gender and method of instruction (distance/traditional) served as the independent variables; the dependent variables were comprised of 6 motivation variables and 9 learning variables, as measured by the Motivated Strategies of Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Age/ethnicity served as covariates. A sample of 86 psychology, counseling, and social work learners who were in a master's or doctoral program was used. The results showed significant differences in learning strategies and motivation of graduate learner's between gender. Men were significantly higher than women in control belief (p = .02) and extrinsic goal orientation (p = .01); they were also higher in rehearsal (p = .03), peer learning (p < .01), and help seeking (p = .03). These findings suggest that learning strategies and motivation were not influenced by learning method, but learning strategies and motivation were influenced by gender. These findings could be used to enhance retention and graduation rates as well stimulate future research on the topic.

Exploring Arts Integration in Language Arts Instruction for Elementary EducationDehner, Mary A 01 January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight on how arts integration in English language arts education increases engagement and achievement in students and teachers alike. Throughout my analysis of literature, local field research in two Central Florida public elementary schools, and my creation of a five-day arts-integrated writing unit, I found that arts integration, especially when utilizing Leonard Bernstein’s Artful Learning Method was observed to show a positive impact on students. Arts integration allowed for a child’s natural curiosity and instinct to create to take over, which created authentic learning experiences for the students. The research also demonstrated that arts integration enabled teachers to utilize their creativity, which in turn positively changed their perspectives on their career and teaching experience. Observations and the research literature examined in this thesis showed that arts integration can be a valuable outlet for both students and teachers, yet not always utilized due to high stakes testing, budgetary concerns, and time constraints in the elementary classroom.
