...frequently, the classes flow well, and all involved feel like the course was a success. On the other hand, most of the instructors also had quite the opposite experience, where it is a regular struggle to get students to ask questions and participate in discussions. Student engagement, a broader, more encompassing term, which consists of four factors (skills, participation/interaction, emotional, and performance), is becoming increasingly important in higher education (Handelsman, Briggs, Sullivan, &Towler, 2005). Though all areas of engagement are important and theNational Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) has increased as universities try to use student engagement as a significant part of higher education assessment (Kuh, 2001), here the focus is on the participation/interaction factor of engagement. The traditional lecture-only format is losing its prevalence in the classroom, as it is replaced with mixed delivery methods which utilize group discussion, dyadic work, and peer review, to name a few, all of which minimize lecturing. In-class participation has become increasingly important with millennial generation students who demand more interaction from their classroom experience (Allred & Swenson, 2006; Howe & Strauss, 2000). In particular, Tony VN. Figuera of Mindanao Times (2006) stated that the inability of students to argue in class and their phobia for oral exams are only two of the discrepant behaviors that educators observe in school. This attitude of...

...Riassunto: Le risorse umane persone, relazioni e valore di Giovanni Costa e Martina Gianecchini Cap. 6 LE PERSONE GIUSTE AL POSTO GIUSTO con le attività di reclutamento e selezione l'impresa mette a confronto il fabbisogno aziendale con i mercati del lavoro, al fine di individuare le persone con un profilo coerente con la propria strategia di business, cioè in possesso delle competenze professionali e comportamentali necessarie, e quindi in grado di apportare individualmente e collettivamente, un contributo agli obiettivi aziendali. Individuare le persone giuste non è né semplice né automatico. 6.1 il processo di assunzione il processo di assunzione comincia nel momento in cui l'impresa avverte la necessità di adeguare il proprio organico alle necessità della strategia o al fabbisogno segnalato dalle attività di programmazione del personale. L'inserimento di nuove persone dovrebbe essere progettato in una logica di continuità. Numerosi sono però gli ostacoli a una programmazione di politiche di assunzione di lungo periodo: * cambiamenti organizzativi: che spingono verso una veloce evoluzione dei ruoli delle competenze * cambiamenti nei mercati: che accelerano i tipi di obsolescenza delle competenze distintive * cambiamenti normativi: che agendo sulle regole dei contratti modificano le logiche organizzative. Chi inserire in azienda? la risposta implica uno sforzo sia in termini di caratteristiche del ruolo da ricoprire (job description), sia in termini di tratti comportamentali...
