...the real world is like. Studies show Service Learning to be very successful with students as it involves them reflecting and bringing forward their own knowledge when engaging in the community. As students are forced to reflect on what they’ve been taught and applying this knowledge, it has led to greater success in comparison to a student who takes notes while listening to a prof who speaks for a solid 2-3hrs being less effective. Therefore, this learning is highly beneficial as the student is continuously applying self-knowledge when dealing with real life occurrences, which also helps prepare for further situations. From Service learning,...

...constructivism says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. It is a learning theory that emphazises problem solving and understanding using athentic tasks, experiences, settings and assesments. The first article I read abot described how constructivism is a process both for the instructor and the student. The goals for the instructor are to adapt the curriculum to address the students suppositions. Help negotiate goals and objectives with learners and pose problems of emerging relevance to students. Emphasize hands on,real world experiences and also seek and value students point of view. In return the student will develop his/her own goals and assessments and create new understandings to control learning based on reflections. The student will collaborate among fellow students, learn in a social experience and take ownership and voice of the learning process. Constructivism can help students pursue personal interests and purposes. They build on his/her prior knowledge and experience and develop life long learning skills. The second article I read was written by Prof. George E. Hein for the CECA conference. I the article professor Hein gave his thoughts about the constructivism learning theory and how it applied to museums and the need of people. "He defines constructivism as the idea that learners construct knowledge for themselves---each learner individually (and socially) constructs...

...Zsade Byrd Prof. Ghiradella Eng. 010-11 December, 3rd 2015 One thing everyone should have is an open mind. An open mind helps one to grow in many ways. Three of these ways are in character growth, wisdom, and skill. Having an open mind doesn’t mean believing what anyone says, but it means being humble and accepting as much knowledge that one can in. Being humble can make one view the world differently. One thing that comes along with having an open mind is that one’s character grows, and adapts well to other people. With an open mind, one can read people's vibes very well. One might not know what the other individual may be thinking exactly, but one knows what the individual's intentions are because of their actions. if one has an open mind, then one is more aware of people and the situation around them. For example, if one is leaving or approaching their car, one of the questions one might ask their self would be; are there any suspicious looking characters following me or approaching me? And if it is then one is aware of it before it actually happens because one is taking precaution by surveying the area. These ties into character growth because adapting well to people can help one handle people better than others which is part of one's character. Along with character growth having an open mind also gives you wisdom. Wisdom is one of the most important parts that come from an open mind. One gains a substantial amount of wisdom by not being closed...

...PREFACE It is a pleasure to keep this report in front of you. Project report is vitally important for Business Management students because it develops the feelings among the students about industrial environment and business to develop the practical base. Theoretical knowledge is true only when we apply the same in the practical. In the final year, there is a subject named “Entrepreneurship and management of innovation” Project. Under the said curriculum a student has to do a detail analysis of a particular business activity. And simultaneously, analyze the opportunities and threats. In order to establish co-relation between the theoretical studies and practical training, it was suggested that some establishments should be analyzed and accordingly we had done the analysis on.

...1 Diverse Beginning’s to an Enriching Future Matthew Baliles PSY 202 Adult Development and Life Assessment Prof. Suzanne Perkins May 21, 2012 3 Diverse Beginning’s to an Enriching Future My life as a child set the standards for the life and future I would strive to attain as an adult. In this paper I will describe and analyze some of my life experience’s that have shaped me into the Adult I am today. I will also discuss my contribution to the community in which I reside, and how I plan to contribute to the Future. I can remember walking home from first grade, not worried about anything my teacher required because I was more concerned about whether or not my mother, siblings, or myself would be beaten by my father. My father is a full blood Cherokee, and an alcoholic, and ex-marine. There was not much peace in the house with this mixture of a man. Mom always continued to hold such a positive attitude around me telling me she loved me and everything would be alright and for me that was sufficient, though reality was mom and I was the two beaten the worst out of our family. Until mom and dad returned home from work each day, I would stay outside playing with children on my street. I also had adult friends in my neighborhood and would visit them often. Jim and Claudine were two...

...Dylan Mains Philosophy 100-14 Prof. Dunch 24 October 2013 The Magnificent Philosopher King Education is a vital component of contemporary society in the pursuit of peace, harmony and ultimately justice. One must be wise enough to understand the principles of justice. In the Republic, Plato portrays the importance of education for being just through his justification for what the Philosopher King knows. The definition of justice is based on the people’s education, experience, and going through the process of shaping a just soul. In order to reach justice, one must experience and learn from the best moments of life to really appreciate it as well as have the wisdom to recognize it. The Philosopher Kings exemplify all of these traits and have an understanding of the world as it is, giving them the strongest foundation for understanding justice. Plato argues for the importance of education for justice in the Republic, emphasizing education in the forms for reaching justice; justice is the harmony between the three parts of the soul. As a result of having a harmonious balance between the three parts of the soul, one is able to achieve Plato’s view of justice. The main focus of education, from an individual’s perspective, is to gain knowledge. Reason is the most important aspect needed for a person who is seeking to understand justice and know how to achieve it. Plato points out that every soul contains three parts: appetite, spirit, and reason. In addition, Plato...

...Prof. Allen 3/7/2012 Principles of Management Shamsiddin Lowther The experience I faced this academic (2012) year in (Principles of Management) can only be justifiably described as challenging. The things I have learned, as well as implanted in myself being have conjured up a lot of thought. A mature emotional shift has changed what I previously felt about Lincoln’s campus and the works of its politics towards student improvement. Growing into the man I’ am striving to be only comes to my realization that I haven’t arrived to that point. So understanding that in order to get to that step I must take the preferable backseat and learn from an “experienced and well-seasoned drive”. Every day I look back to where I was in life before college, before high school, before school period and I can remember my Grandmother would always tell me “Every day is a day you will learn something new for the rest of your life and that’s how you will grow”. I never really understood this but, I always remembered this statement even after she passed away, not until I actually started to believe it, respect it, and live it, did I see the benefits in her message. Learning is the key to salvation without knowledge their no going back to your memory bank and account for what you know because, it’s just insufficient. I have never wanted to work for anyone in my life, as I child I would hear my family always talk about the various business they owned in the 30’s 40’s 50’s and 60’s we actually...

...Leadership Analysis The Bridge on The River Kwai August 5, 2012 Shekhar Gahlot (ICS Hitotsubashi, Tokyo, Japan) Leadership Analysis: The Bridge on the River Kwai The year: 1943. The place: Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Burma. In the setting of World War II, a defeated unit British Soldiers is marched into a Japanese prison camp in western Thailand, with the purpose of constructing a bridge over the River Kwai to carry a new railway line to invade Burma. The camp is run by a dutiful commandant Colonel Saito and his men. The British troop is led by a stiff-lipped Colonel Nicholson. Nicholson is highly revered by his men, he is their friend and confidant; he can do them no wrong. So begins the classic World War II movie The Bridge on the River Kwai. In the August of 2009 during a humid Sunday afternoon I happened to stumble upon this English classic. I presumed it to be just another vintage war movie. However, on careful inspection, it became an excellent treatise for understanding various forms of "leadership" paradigms, which are not only useful in the Army but can be easily observed in contemporary corporate world. It is one of those few war movies which focus more on building its characters rather than the war itself. It portrays two very different leadership styles, which are intensely portrayed by its characters Colonel Nicholson and Colonel Saito. The movie starts with difference of opinion and clashes of ego between the two leads. Saito is persistent...

...Holmes et al. Implementation Science 2012, 7:39 http://www.implementationscience.com/content/7/1/39 Implementation Science DEBATE Open Access Translating evidence into practice: the role of health research funders Bev Holmes*, Gayle Scarrow and Megan Schellenberg Abstract Background: A growing body of work on knowledge translation (KT) reveals significant gaps between what is known to improve health, and what is done to improve health. The literature and practice also suggest that KT has the potential to narrow those gaps, leading to more evidence-informed healthcare. In response, Canadian health research funders and agencies have made KT a priority. This article describes how one funding agency determined its KT role and in the process developed a model that other agencies could use when considering KT programs. Discussion: While ‘excellence’ is an important criterion by which to evaluate and fund health research, it alone does not ensure relevance to societal health priorities. There is increased demand for return on investments in health research in the form of societal and health system benefits. Canadian health research funding agencies are responding to these demands by emphasizing relevance as a funding criterion and supporting researchers and research users to use the evidence generated. Based on recommendations from the literature, an environmental scan, broad circulation of an iterative discussion paper, and an expert working group process, our agency developed...

...-title page -table of contents -student resume -statement of purpose(purpose of portfolio) -organization of entry -personal reflections -comments of the faculty -rubric for the ff. -statement's self-rating competency checklist personal reflections From my observation, I have learned and witnessed a lot of things. The real situation in a classroom can never be predicted. Problems may arise any time of the learning and testing process. In this everyday learning process the students together with their teacher learn things together. Not everyone in that room is the same, especially the students. Most of them may be able to cope up with their teacher’s strategy of teaching but some cannot. Not all of them may lend their full attention with regards to listening to every instruction their teacher say. I can say that being in the real situation like being in a classroom as someone else (not a student but an observer) sometimes worries me. Because I may be able to cause the learning interference in that conducive learning environment. At first I may feel to be very conscious about what would I do next, what would I say if someone asked me this thing or that, how would I act for me to be more professional with this study I am conducting and other more uncertainties. But nevertheless my gratitude being there in that room is incomparable with my other first hand experiences in life as an education student. I am very thankful for the opportunity...

...Section 2 AFFECT AND COGNITION AND MARKETING STRATEGY Chapter 3. Introduction to Affect and Cognition Chapter 4. Consumers’ Product Knowledge and Involvement Chapter 5. Attention and Comprehension Chapter 6. Attitudes and Intentions Chapter 7. Consumer Decision Making Chapter 3 INTRODUCTION TO AFFECT AND COGNITION Authors' Overview of the Chapter This is the introductory chapter on consumers' affect and cognition, and it provides a foundation for the rest of this section. Students need to understand the basic concepts presented here in order to apply them throughout the course. We begin the chapter by briefly reviewing the four elements in our basic model, the Wheel of Consumer Analysis. Then we discuss in some detail two broad, internal aspects of consumers' responses--affect and cognition. We describe affect and cognition in terms of two psychological systems that sense, interpret, and respond to information in the environment. The affective and cognitive systems can be thought of as essentially independent, yet highly interrelated modes of psychological response. Affect. Affect concerns people's feelings and emotional reactions. We identify four types of affective responses--emotions, strong feelings, moods, and evaluations--that vary in intensity and level of arousal (see Exhibit 3.2, p. 42). We emphasize that the affective system is largely...

...Management knowledge and knowledge management: realism and forms of truth John Mingers1 1Kent Business School, University of Kent, Canterbury, U.K. Correspondence: John Mingers, Kent Business School, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7PE, U.K. Tel: þ44 1227 824008; E-mail: j.mingers@kent.ac.uk Received: 24 July 2007 Accepted: 15 October 2007 Abstract This paper addresses the issue of truth and knowledge in management generally and knowledge management in particular. Based on ideas from critical realism and critical theory, it argues against the monovalent conceptualization of knowledge implicitly or explicitly held by many authors and aims instead to develop a characterization that recognizes the rich and varied ways in which human beings may be said ‘to know’. It points out and conceptualizes a fundamental dimension of knowledge that is generally ignored or cursorily treated within the literature, that is, ‘truth’. It identifies four forms of knowledge – propositional, experiential, performative and epistemological – and explores their characteristics, especially in terms of truth and validity. It points out some implications for knowledge management. Knowledge Management Research & Practice (2008) 6, 62–76. doi:10.1057/palgrave.kmrp.8500161 Keywords: knowledge management; knowledge; information; critical realism; critical theory; truth Introduction Although knowledge management (KM) has established itself as a bona fide subject both in practice...
