...PRA RRA PLA Summary How have the theory and practice of participatory methodologies in development activities changed since the mid 1970s? What variants and applications of these methodologies have emerged? This paper from the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) traces the spread of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Participatory Learning and Action (PLA), and identifies strengths and weaknesses in the ways they have been implemented in development contexts. Whilst inflexible applications of PRA and PLA may produce disappointing results, when executed with spontaneity and creativity, these approaches can be a source of community empowerment. PRA and the more inclusive PLA are families of participatory methodologies which have evolved as behaviours and attitudes, methods, and practices of sharing. More recently, PRA has also come to mean Participatory Reflection and Action, as a result of shifts in its practical application. The term Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) is broader than PRA and includes other similar or related approaches and methods. Because of the continuities and overlaps, this methodological cluster is often referred to as PRA/PLA. In the evolution of PRA/PLA, there was much intermingling and innovation. Among other sources were the approaches and methods of action science, reflection-in-action, popular education, and participatory research and participatory action research. Beyond this illustrative listing, more of a sense of what has happened...

...Praxis II: Marketing in the 21st Century by Daisy Chesley Marketing: Strategic Innovation in Globally Diverse Markets Walden University December 23, 2012 Abstract This paper will explore the potential evolution of the role of consumer marketing. I will examine the role of the retailer and the consumer on the Internet and the vital changes retailers must incorporate to stay competitive in the marketplace. In addition, I will discuss the role of personalized marketing, traditional advertising versus online advertising, changes in the marketplace attributable to globalization, the implications of interpersonal communications, and management of the 5Ps. Personalized Marketing Personalized marketing (sometimes referred to as one-to-one marketing) is the marketer attempt to provide the customer individual attention through a variation of methods. Personalized marketing is a strategic approach which involves tailoring products differently for each and every consumer while retaining the principles of mass production. One-to-one marketing is attributable to two converging phenomena: the interactive flow of information made possible by robots and just-in-time inventory (Lampel & Mintzer, 1996, p. 21). In order for a company to be effective in personalized marketing, the company must be able to gather information on the target individual. Today, with the power of technology this is a widespread practice on the Internet. The Internet provides a medium to make...

...1. Name your primary text. (Berger, Anzaldua, Porchia, Carson, Freire, Butler) Freire, “The Banking Concept of Education” 2. Free write about the following: Why have you chosen this essay to focus on? What list of issues are key to the essay you've chosen? Which issues seem most important to you? I want to explore the concepts of praxis and poesies in education. Freire claims that the Banking Concept of the education represses students from praxis. I want to explore in what sense because education even in the Banking method requires practice, at least even in becoming a better memorizer. If the students are engaging in praxis then is there any poesies happening? Are the teachers or the students really creating anything? Or, are they both just acting like inorganic entities following a series of protocols and memorizing algorithms? My next goal is to point to the Math Department at Brooklyn College and do an investigation on the curriculums of the different math courses. I’m currently in a Pre-Calculus class and “doing well” requires that the student memorizes hundreds of properties in a short period of time and apply them on examples. The problem with the examples is that they are alienated from reality. For example, if I propose to you that 1+ 1 = 2 without illustrating to you why this relationship is true and just ask you to memorize a table of different results such as 1+ 1 = 2, 2+ 2 = 4 and etc… are you really learning anything? My goal after that will...

...As we are wrapping up this semester, our reading has turned to the e-booklet that prepares us for the RVE Praxis test. I have not taken this test yet, but am scheduled to take it in a few weeks, so this reading was very beneficial for me. The e-booklet looks to be a great study guide because it details all of the information that you need to know in order to pass the test. The e-booklet also gives you a set of practice questions that help to prepare you for the exam. I also really appreciate the study plan that is included. The e-booklet also include a detailed description of the test format and how the questions should be answered. As we get to chapter ten, the Tompkins text begins to wrap up what we have been learning about teaching reading. Organizing and planning what type of program we will use to teach reading becomes very important. Chapter eleven also discusses the importance of differentiating your reading instruction to meet the needs of all of your students (Tompkins, 2014). Based on the information in the e-booklet about the types of questions on the test, it is evident that if we study the Tompkins text as well as the other material that has been made available to us, we should have success on this Praxis test. My personal experience with taking Praxis tests is that the study guides that ETS provides are invaluable as well as the practice tests that you can purchase. The textbooks used in Liberty’s programs are also a great help. The most important...

...Rosa Linda Fregoso states in an introduction to her book, The Bronze Screen that "Chicano refers to a space where subjectivity is produced." (Fregoso) The message I got from what Fregoso quote meant is that many people have their own opinions; for example they may believe that in order to be Chicano you must be of Mexican decent, dress a certain way, talk with a certain attitude. However if this were the case Chicano would be considered a race but it is not. Fregoso emphasizes clearly that the root idea of Chicanismo is praxis. She asserts that there isn’t any set characteristics one must have in order to be considered a Chicano however it’s about acknowledging problems that arise in the community and dealing with them in a positive manner....

...In October of 1998, INPEACE started to address equity in education in largely Native Hawaiian communities like Waianae. Illeana states, “Kulia and Ka Lama Education Academy (KKLEA) is a program which helps residents who are interested and dedicated to become teachers on the Waianae coast.” I heard about this program through a flyer that was at Leeward Community College in Waianae, so I decided this would be great to attend. Every Friday at 5:00 p.m., since the beginning of September, I attended this free program located at the Maili Community Learning Center. This program was formed to help prepare and assist praxis support. This means that students are welcomed to study here to get help on their state exam for teaching also known as praxis. As a result, it is beneficial for the community it equips students with strategies to help them pass this test. The effects of KKLEA is that it's resourceful, it helps impact the potential for Native Hawaiian children to succeed and provide networking opportunities. First of all, Kulia and Ka Lama Education Academy offers many different...

...Laroche being prescriptive and descriptive Laroche follows a prescriptive method in arguing for decision making theory. He argues it is a social representation which will improve decision making. In his abstract he writes “The paper argues that […] the concept of organizational action should not be opposed to decision and decision-making. Decision and decisionmaking are best understood as social representations […]. As organization members think and act in terms of decision-making, a theory of organizational action cannot simply do without a theory of decision-making. “ showing clearly that he is prescribing a certain way of looking upon decision-making. This is further strengthened in the conclusion where he for example writes “This paper argued that decision-making is best understood as a process of reality creation through organization members’ representations of their own role and activity.” The extent to which Laroche is prescriptive is debatable however. He acknowledges descriptive factors such as when he claims in conclusion that “no theory of action can develop without integrating the fact that, to a significant extent, organizational members think and act in terms of decision-making... a relevant phenomenon for a theory of action, not a marginal one”. He lists examples from empirical studies in describing the decision-making process: “bureaucratic processes (e.g., Cyert and March 1963, Carter 1971), political processes (e.g.. Bower 1970), psychological...

...Evidence-based Management (EBMgt oder EBM) ist eine neue Bewegung zu explizit die aktuelle, beste Beweis in Managemententscheidungen. Seine Wurzeln sind in der evidenzbasierten Medizin, eine Qualität, die Bewegung, die wissenschaftliche Methode, um die medizinische Praxis anzuwenden. Evidence-based Management bringt unternehmerische Entscheidungen und organisatorischen Praktiken, die von den besten verfügbaren wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen informiert. Wie seine Kollegen in der Medizin (zB Sackett et al., 2000) und Bildung (zB Thomas & Pring, 2004), die Urteile EBMgt bringt auch prüfen, die Umstände und die ethischen Bedenken unternehmerische Entscheidungen einbeziehen. Im Gegensatz zur Medizin und Bildung ist jedoch EBMgt heute nur hypothetisch.

...word love is all about self. If two people are attracted to each other they must be nice to one another to get attention, and for the affection to be returned. The world's love is based on receiving from one another not giving. The world does not just give love to others when it is not beneficial to them. People tend to feel that if you are not pleasing me then I have no love to give to you. For people that are not Christians love is something that has to be earned by making someone else feel good. Powerful emotions accompany love, but it is the commitment of the will that shows true biblical love is steadfast and does not change. “The human personality is primarily comprised of three aspects---the intellect, the emotion, and the will.” (Praxis, 77) Emotions may change, but the commitment to love in a biblical way endures all and is the hallmark of a disciple of Christ. The opposite is also true; Biblical love will not be affected by emotion or one's circumstances. The greatest example of true love is shown in God's love for the sinner. Romans 5:8 says, "Commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The lost sinner living in sin is still loved by the Lord. He loves us enough to give His life; paying our debt, while...

...MARTHY MCCASKEY* Martha McCaskey1 felt both elated and uneasy after her late Friday meeting with Tom Malone and Bud Hackert, two of the top managers in Praxis Associates’ Industry Analysis division. Malone, the division’s de facto COO, had said that upon successful completion of the Silicon 6 study, for which McCaskey was project leader, she would be promoted to group manager. The promotion would mean both a substantial increase in pay and a reprieve from the tedious field work typical of Praxis’ consulting projects. Completing the Silicon 6 project, however, meant a second session with Phil Devon, the one person who could provide her with the information required by Praxis’ client. Now, McCaskey reflected, finishing the project would likely mean following the course of action proposed by Hackert and seconded by Malone to pay Devon off. Praxis’ client, a semiconductor manufacturer based in California, was trying to identify the cost structure and manufacturing technologies of a new chip produced by one of its competitors. McCaskey and the others felt certain that Phil Devon, a semiconductor industry consultant who had worked in the competitor’s West Coast operation some 12 years earlier, could provide the detailed information on manufacturing costs and processes required by their client (see Exhibit I for a summary of the required information). Her first interview with Devon had caused McCaskey to have serious doubts both about the propriety of asking for such...
