Incorporating multiple teaching techniques into food safety education

Severns, Bryan January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Food Science Institute / Weiqun Wang / According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48% of known, single-setting foodborne illness outbreaks were caused by food consumed in restaurants. The lack of food handler training and knowledge of food safety concepts is a contributing factor to the continued occurrence of foodborne illness outbreaks. This report concerns food handler training undertaken with a goal of incorporating teaching techniques other than “stand and deliver” presentations to restaurant employees in the Kansas City, Kansas Metro area. Differing messaging concepts such as discussion, role playing, and hands-on segments were used. Training took place in classroom settings as well as commercial kitchen laboratories, including a working restaurant hot-food preparation line. Participants included restaurant owners, managers, as well as front and back of the house employees. Some had completed other food safety training in the past, while others had no formal food safety training. The food safety knowledge of the participants was determined in a pre-test administered just before the training session started, with the average score being 63%. The sessions began with a slide presentation and discussion of current best practices in safe food handling, followed by two hours of kitchen lab time, in which the participants rotated through several demonstration and practice stations. Areas of emphasis during the hands-on sessions were hand washing, cooling and reheating of food, proper thermometer use, and sanitizer use. Special focus was given to mimicking a hot food preparation line where employees had to handle potentially hazardous foods such as raw hamburger, and then work with ready-to-eat foods in the same area. The participants finished the training with a multiple-choice test (a score of 75% was required for recognition of the training), followed by a discussion of the test questions. The average score after training was 76%. At all times participants were encouraged to ask questions that would address specific challenges in their respective restaurants. Participants were given a post-training course evaluation to gauge acceptance of the training. Results showed strong appreciation and preference for the hands-on segments and the inclusion of industry experts as presenters. Overall, post-test scores increased by 13.6% compared to the pre-test scores. The improvement of test scores was significant (P<0.0001) indicating that the training was successful in training restaurant managers, owners, and employees about food safety practices.

The DIAMONDS at Work: Applying the DIAMONDS Dimensions to Occupations

Unknown Date (has links)
Just as people can be described by traits, situations can be described by the “Situational Eight” DIAMONDS (Duty, Intellect, Adversity, Mating, pOsitivity, Negativity, Deception, Sociality) (Rauthmann et al., 2014). Based upon the common occurrence of situations in combinations unique to different occupations the current study sets out to (1) map the DIAMONDS dimensions into the workplace and (2) examine the relationships between the DIAMONDS dimensions and other measures of work contexts (Skill, Abilities, Knowledge, etc.). Through the use of a modified version of the S8* (Rauthmann & Sherman, 2014), the DIAMONDS dimensions were correlated with scored responses of either individuals in the profession, or professional experts, on important worker characteristics and occupational requirements for 954 individually identified occupations (n = 954) compiled by O*NET (National Center for O*NET Development, 2016). / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Gender Differences in the Early Career Experiences of Engineers in Canada

Osten, Victoria 19 June 2019 (has links)
Canada has an urgent need for more engineers to support its infrastructure, advance technology, and solve increasingly complex human, economic, and environmental problems. Women have often been identified as a resource who can provide new perspectives, solutions, and innovations. While women’s participation in engineering programs has increased over the last 50 years, their participation rate in the workforce has not, keeping engineering as a male-dominated occupation. Despite challenges, women graduates have entered the engineering workforce, but often they have not stayed. The purpose of this quantitative study is to explore the early career experiences of engineering graduates to identify patterns shaped by the graduates’ gender. Applying feminist lenses to the most recent data on Canadian graduates available at Statistics Canada and utilizing advanced quantitative methods, we study BEng graduates from Canadian universities. This study provides a broader understanding of the phenomenon of women’s underrepresentation in engineering and presents findings that can help retain more women in the occupation. Three samples of BEng graduates with over of 10,100 participants were included in this study to answer three main research questions: a) are there gender differences in the duration of job search and types of jobs these graduates obtained after graduation?; b) are there gender differences in job satisfaction among young engineers?; c) are there gender differences in the intention to look for another job once in a first engineering job? Themes and subthemes relevant to women’s underrepresentation in the occupation are found to help answer these questions. Recommendations for policy and future research are discussed.

Ensino da avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz por meio de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem / Teaching of the auditory-perceptual assessment of voice through virtual learning environment

Vieira, Millena Maria Ramalho Matta 29 February 2016 (has links)
A avaliação vocal é realizada predominantemente por meio da avaliação perceptivoauditiva, sendo dependente de conhecimentos teóricos prévios e de treinamento prático e dinâmico. Entretanto, ainda são escassas as iniciativas educacionais que se utilizam das novas tecnologias para o ensino da avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz. A utilização de estratégias com novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, hoje tão presentes e familiarizadas no meio universitário, apresentam o intuito de facilitar e otimizar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Desta forma, este estudo teve o propósito de elaborar e avaliar um curso a distância em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem sobre essa temática. Elaborou-se um curso a distância sobre a avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz organizado em quatro módulos principais: 1. Noções básicas de anatomia e fisiologia da fonação; 2. Ouvindo vozes; 3. Avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz e 4. Aplicabilidade da avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz, além de um adicional com vídeos sobre curiosidades e sugestão de material complementar para estudo. O ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) também apresentou diversas ferramentas educacionais como textos, imagens ilustrativas, videoaulas, vídeos, arquivos de áudio, atividades práticas individuais, fóruns, além de recursos de interatividade entre alunos e tutora. Este material foi antecipadamente avaliado por três especialistas que avaliaram o material positivamente como uma inovadora e importante ferramenta educacional que poderá ser utilizada na formação de estudantes na área de voz. Foram convidados a participar do curso a distância, 133 alunos do 1o ao 4o ano de um curso de graduação em Fonoaudiologia de uma Universidade do interior paulista. Concordaram em participar 33 estudantes e desses, nove concluíram o curso. Os alunos responderam a avaliações de conteúdo nos momentos pré e pós-curso, de forma presencial e a avaliações de cada módulo, realizadas por meio de questões específicas e atividades práticas, no próprio site. Ao término do curso os alunos também responderam a uma avaliação motivacional do AVA. Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante na média de acertos nas provas pré e pós-curso dos alunos, nas questões teóricas (p= 0,031), nas práticas (p=0,000) e no total (p=0,002), demonstrando que o material elaborado foi capaz de aumentar o conhecimento dos estudantes a respeito de seu tema. O AVA apresentou alto índice de satisfação motivacional e foi avaliado por todos os participantes como um curso impressionante, de acordo com o instrumento de avaliação motivacional utilizado. Conclui-se que foi possível elaborar um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA), em formato de curso a distância, sobre a temática da avaliação perceptivoauditiva da voz e que o material elaborado apresenta um importante potencial de ensino e aprendizagem sobre esse tema. / The vocal assessment is predominantly performed through auditory-perceptual assessment, being dependent on prior theoretical knowledge and practical and dynamic training. Meanwhile, educational initiatives that use new technologies for auditory-perceptual assessment are still scarce. The using of strategies with new information technologies and communication, nowadays so presents and acquainted in the university environment, show in order to facilitate and optimize the process of teaching and learning. Thus, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a distance learning course in a virtual learning environment on this theme. It was elaborated a distance learning course on auditory-perceptual assessment of voice organized into four main modules: 1. Basic anatomy and physiology of phonation; 2. Hearing voices; 3. Auditory-perceptual assessment of voice and 4. Applicability of auditory-perceptual assessment of voice, as well as an additional with videos of curiosities and suggesting complementary material to study. The virtual learning environment (VLE) also presented several educational tools such as text, illustrative images, video classes, videos, audio files, individual practical activities, forums, and interactivity between students and tutor. This material was evaluated advance for three experts, who evaluated the material positively as an innovative and important educational tool that can be used in training students in the voice area. Were invited to participate to the distance learning course, 133 students from 1st to 4th year of an undergraduate degree in Speech Therapy of a University in the São Paulo interior. Agreed to participate 33 students, which nine completed the course. Students responded the evaluation of content in pre-and post-course, in person and the evaluations of each module, carried out through specific issues and practical activities on the site. At the end of the course the students also answered a motivational assessment of VLE. It was possible observed statistically significant difference in the mean score in the tests from pre and post course of the students, the theoretical issues (p = 0.031), in practice (p = 0.000) and overall (p = 0.002), demonstrating that the prepared material was able to increase knowledge students about their subject. The VLE showed high level of motivational satisfaction and it was evaluated by all participants as an impressive course, according to the motivational assessment tool used. Concluded that it was possible to develop a virtual learning environment (VLE), in the distance course format, on the issue of auditory-perceptual assessment of voice and that the prepared material has a significant potential for teaching and learning on this theme.

Avanços e limites da reforma agrária no sul do Pará: um estudo a partir do projeto de assentamento Canarana / Advances and limitations of land reform in southern Pará: a study from the settlement project Canarana

Terence, Marcelo Fernando 26 June 2013 (has links)
Os projetos de assentamento sob jurisdição da Superintendência Regional de Marabá apresentam uma série de dificuldades em relação à evasão de um número considerável de famílias assentadas. Frequentemente essas famílias são responsabilizadas pelo governo e até nos meios acadêmicos pelo seu fracasso em permanecer no lote. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi justamente se contrapor a tal visão sobre os assentados. Para compreender melhor a questão da evasão, a pesquisa se desenvolveu no sentido de investigar causas internas e externas aos projetos de assentamento. Foram realizadas entrevistas com assentados do PA Canarana e com outros sujeitos sociais da região, nas quais puderam ser evidenciados problemas relacionados à falta de apoio à produção e também graves dificuldades de comercialização. Entre tais problemas destacam-se as dificuldades de reversão de pastos degradados para a formação de roças e a dependência dos assentados em relação aos atravessadores para poderem vender sua produção. Em relação aos problemas enfrentados também ficou claro o desencontro das políticas voltadas para essa população assentada, fortemente marcada por uma herança camponesa. Por outro lado, a pesquisa permitiu evidenciar a continuidade da tradição rebelde formada a partir da luta dos posseiros dos anos 1960, 1970 e 1980. O caso das retomadas de lotes reconcentrados realizadas a partir da iniciativa de famílias camponesas foi a prova mais marcante encontrada por essa pesquisa em relação à continuidade dessa tradição, reforçada ainda pela existência de dezenas de acampamentos nas beiras de estradas e cantos de fazendas. A partir desses resultados foi possível ainda contestar a visão governamental atual sobre ser desnecessária a criação de mais projetos de assentamentos. A criatividade e a persistência das famílias camponesas em impedir, resistir ou reverter as investidas do capital sobre as terras dos projetos de assentamento apareceram também na busca de alternativas produtivas e de comercialização. A atuação do grupo do mel e a articulação em torno do projeto da produção de polpa de frutas, com seus avanços e limites, demonstraram a falta de criatividade e ousadia das políticas oficiais, cada vez mais marcadas pela ideia de inserção da produção das famílias assentadas nos mercados capitalistas. / The settlement projects under the Superintendência Regional de Marabá jurisdiction show many difficulties related to a considerable number of settled families evasion. These families are usually considered responsible, by the government and even in the academic fields, for its failure in remaining in their lots. The objective of this research was to refuse this vision of the settled people. To better understand the evasion issue, the research was developed in the sense of investigating the internal and external causes of the settlement projects. Interviews were taken with the settled people in PA Canarana and with other subjects of the region, in which problems related to the lack of support to the production and also severe commercialization difficulties were put in evidence. Among these problems, can be highlighted the difficulties related to the reversion of the degraded pasture to form new clear and productive land, and the dependence of the settled people to the middlemen (atravessadores) to sell their production. Related to the problems faced by these settled population, it also became clear the distance between the politics that aimed these population, strongly marked by a \"peasant heritage\". On the other hand, this research made it possible to put in evidence the continuity of the \"tradição rebelde\" formed from the struggle of the squatters (posseiros) in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The case of recentered lots taking back made from the initiatives of the peasant families was the strongest proof found by this research concerning the continuity of this tradition, also reinforced by the existence of dozens of camps on roadsides and farms borders. From these results, it was also possible to refuse the current government vision over the necessity of the creation of more settlement projects. The creativity and the persistence of the peasant families in avoiding, resisting or reverting the capital on the settlement projects lands were also pointed in their quest to productive and commercialization alternatives. The performance of the honey group and the articulation around the fruits pulp production project, with its advances and limits, showed the lack of creativity and the boldness of official politics, increasingly marked by the idea of insertion of the settled families production in the capitalist market.

Carreira: visão acadêmica e práticas do mercado de trabalho relatadas pela publicação Guia Você S/A Exame as melhores empresas para você trabalhar / Career: academic view and labor market practices reported by the publication Guia Você S/A Exame As melhores empresas para você trabalhar

Aroni, Fernanda 22 March 2011 (has links)
A carreira surgiu como forma de estruturar a trajetória dos funcionários no interior das empresas através da sistematização prévia de um caminho a ser percorrido composto de cargos e funções, sendo, em termos práticos, uma ferramenta administrativa para a gestão de pessoas, e, em termos teóricos, uma concepção a ser estudada por pesquisadores e teóricos nas universidades. Tradicionalmente, a literatura assinala uma dicotomia entre os modelos teóricos e as práticas do mercado de trabalho, que parecem constituir campos distintos e não interrelacionados. Os principais estudos contemporâneos apontam que carreira deixou de ser apenas um plano sistematizado e uniforme nas empresas, a chamada carreira organizacional, e se ampliou, alcançando o mundo do trabalho como um todo, o que gerou outros modelos como a carreira proteana, sem fronteiras, multidirecional, caleidoscópio, portfolio e arco-íris, com características mais heterogêneas e mais determinadas pelos trabalhadores do que pelas empresas. A partir das considerações teóricas feitas sobre carreira, a proposta deste estudo foi construir um paralelo entre as teorias e práticas do mercado de trabalho através da análise do discurso produzido pela publicação anual Guia Você S/A Exame As melhores empresas para você trabalhar, importante veículo de comunicação nacional, que tem como objetivo informar o público sobre as melhores práticas de gestão de pessoas nas empresas. Para tal tarefa, realizou-se o levantamento e a compreensão de como o termo carreira foi empregado ao longo dos 14 anos da publicação (1997-2010), quais concepções foram abordadas, quais práticas foram apresentadas e quais relações podiam ser estabelecidas entre o conteúdo apresentado pela revista e a literatura, buscando pontos de convergência e divergência. Os resultados mostraram que, ao contrário do que apontava a literatura especializada, ainda há traços da carreira organizacional nas práticas relatadas pela publicação. Apenas a partir da edição de 2006 foi assinalada a necessidade de incluir todos aqueles que trabalham na empresa (funcionários, prestadores de serviços e temporários) como objetos de programas de gestão da carreira, o que pareceu indicar uma concepção da carreira sem fronteiras que pode ser construída dentro e fora das empresas, com vínculos temporários, transitórios ou permanentes. Ao longo das edições é possível identificar práticas relacionadas principalmente a carreira de Proteu e multidirecional, e predomínio da metáfora da jornada. Em termos de gestão prática da carreira, ao contrário do que apontava parte da literatura especializada de que agora a carreira seria de responsabilidade da pessoa, ainda há uma concepção de que a empresa deve fornecer as bases deste processo, no qual o funcionário pode participar através da oferta de oportunidades de carreira como recrutamento interno, programas de aprendizagem contínua e avaliações de desempenho. Esta visão é congruente com alguns modelos da literatura especializada, como uma tentativa de gestão compartilhada, em que o funcionário possa gerenciar sua carreira e a empresa gerenciar as oportunidades de desenvolvimento (carreira multidirecional). Como conclusão, tem-se que a dicotomia entre os modelos teóricos e as práticas do mercado de trabalho permanece, mas se inicia um processo lento de mudança e aproximação entre conceito e prática / The career concept was developed as a way to structure the course of employees and workers inside the companies through the systematization of a previously assigned path comprised by defined functions and roles. In practical terms, an administrative tool for managing people, and, in theoretical terms, a conception to be studied by researchers and theorists in universities. Traditionally, literature points out a dichotomy between theoretical models and practices in the labor market, which seem to be distinct and not related. The main contemporary studies indicate that career is no longer a systematic and uniform plan in the corporations, the so called organizational career has expanded, reaching the whole world of labor, and resulting in other career models, such as Protean, boundaryless, multidirectional, kaleidoscope, portfolio, and rainbow, those are more heterogeneous and driven by the workers rather than the companies. Starting from theoretical considerations about career, the purpose of this study was to build a comparison between the labor market theories and practices through the analysis of the articles published at Guia Você S/A Exame As melhores empresas para você trabalhar, a well-respected annual Brazilian publication that aims to inform the general public regarding people management best practices inside the organizations. This study was based on an extensive survey and analysis on how the term career was used over the last 14 years (1997-2010) of the referred publication, what conceptions were addressed, which practices were introduced and which relations could be established between the content presented by the magazine and literature, seeking points of convergence and divergence. The results showed opposite trends compared to what was pointed by the literature. There are still traces of organizational career practices reported by the publication. Only from the Edition of the year 2006, it was marked the necessity to include all those who work in the company (employees, contractors and temporary) as objects of career management programmes, which seemed to indicate a boundaryless career conception that can be built inside and outside the companies, with temporary or permanent bond. Along the editions it is possible to identify practices related mainly to the Protean and multidirectional career models, and the predominance of the Journey metaphor. In terms of practical career management, on the opposite side of what was pointed by part of the specialized literature, regarding that career is now under the individuals responsibility, there is still a conception that even though the employee will contribute, the company must provide the foundation of this process, by offering career opportunities such as internal recruitment, continuous learning programs and performance reviews. This vision is aligned with some specialized literature models, such an attempt of shared management, in which the employee could manage his career and the company would manage the development opportunities (multidirectional career). As a final conclusion, it is noticed that the dichotomy between theoretical models and practices in the labor market remains, however a slow process of change and alignment between concept and practice has been started

The Career Development of Latino Immigrant Youth

Bonifacio, Luisa January 2016 (has links)
For many Latino immigrant children the transition from adolescence to adulthood and more specifically from high school to college or the workforce can be a daunting experience. Scholars have identified contextual factors such as family, culture, and access to academic and financial resources contribute significantly to the academic and career decision making of Latino immigrant youths (Chaves et al., 2004). Vocational psychology research literature has been criticized for the exclusion of diverse populations, particularly inner city youth (Medvide & Blustein, 2010) from career development theories. Using consensual qualitative research (CQR), the current study broadens the understanding of the career development of Latino immigrant youth by gathering 15 participant narratives from current NYC high school students. These interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using CQR methods (Hill, Knox, Thompson, Williams, Hess, & Ladany, 2005). The results of the study illustrate how culture, family support, access to financial and academic resources, and perceived barriers impact the career decision-making of Latino immigrant youth. More specifically, results indicate Latino immigrant youth highly value family relationships and teacher support in their career decision-making, and feel these supports are essential for their career success. Additionally, participants’ internalization of their social status and access to financial and academic resources critically influence their career decisions. Recommendations for research and clinical practice were presented with an emphasis on expanding multicultural competency and culturally responsive counseling interventions provided to students and families in order to reinforce students’ academic, social, and cultural strengths.

Arte Ocupação: práticas artísticas e a invenção de modos de organização / Arte Ocupação: artistic practices and the invention of organizational modes.

Jung, Ana Emilia 18 September 2018 (has links)
Esta tese é uma pesquisa em Poéticas Visuais que tem como ponto de partida o Arte Ocupação -- movimento de ações colaborativas nas escolas ocupadas no Paraná em 2016, que, por meio de intervenções diretas, gerou uma série de situações e proposições, as quais refletem e afirmam a condição-ocupação como dispositivo relacional, ao mesmo tempo que interpelam o campo da arte sugerindo um território de desbordes com imagens por vir. Partindo de um referencial conceitual baseado nas ideias do artista, pensador, político e ativista Marcelo Expósito, para quem a arte deve ser articulada por meio de uma função organizadora, buscou-se uma contextualização circunstancial, que, somada a outras interlocuções artísticas e teóricas sobre arte, política, imagem e esfera pública, é indicada aqui como \"prática modal\". Ainda como parte desta, transcreveu-se e traduziu-se para o português a apresentação El arte como producción de modos de organización, de Marcelo Expósito, traduziu-se o texto Sobre el Militante Investigador do Colectivo Situaciones e analisou-se o processo de trabalho do Arte Ocupação a partir da constituição de seu acervo propositivo, a dizer, a oficina Imagin(Ação): narrativas poético-políticas para estados de crise. Atelier-oficina para manifestações-exposições-ópera e as proposições Corpos que se descobrem como corpos que se manifestam, Colar de Chaves, Mato, A Revolução Francesa e Jogral, que podem ser vistas em www.arteocupacao.com. / This thesis is a research in Visual Poetics that has, as a starting point, the Arte Ocupação - a movement consistent of collaborative actions at occupied schools in Paraná, in 2016. This movement, through direct interventions, has generated a series of situations and propositions, which reflect and affirm the occupation-condition as a relational device, at the same time, interpellating the art field suggesting a land of overflows with coming images. Starting from a conceptual referential, based upon the ideas of the artist, thinker, politic and activist Marcelo Expósito, to whom art should be articulated by means of an organizational function, it was sought a circumstantial contextualization, which, added to other artistic and theoretical interlocutions about art, politics, image and public sphere, is here indicated as \"modal practice\". Still as a part of this, it was transcribed and translated into Portuguese the presentation Art as the sourceproduction of organizational modes, by Marcelo Expósito, it was translated the text About the militant investigador from Colectivo Situaciones and it was analized the work process of Arte Ocupação from the constitution of it\'s propositional collection, that is, the workshop Imagin(action): politic-poetic narratives for crisis\' states. Workshop-studio for operaexpositions- manifestations and the propositions Bodies that discover themselves as bodies that manifest themselves, keys necklace, Bush, The French Revolution and Jogral, wich can be seen at www.arteocupacao.com.
