...motivators, begins to expand her understandings outwards to family, community and society Each theory has a progression of skills or understandings that signify a growth from concrete thinking and egocentrism toward abstraction and higher-level thinking. Yet, the complexity of developme t cannot be explained by one single theory, and past theories need to be critically examined for their strengths and weakness. However, despite the flaws of past theories, the understandings and subsequent improvements to academic fields, such as education and psychology, have had long lasting implications. Discovery learning, using manipulative, peer collaboration, character education, and scaffolding concepts are all learning strategies use daily in the classroom and are credited to their origins in these past theories of development. Erik Erikson Erik Erikson (1950, 1963) does not talk about psychosexual Stages, he discusses psychosocial stages. His ideas, though, were greatly influenced by Freud, going along with Freud’s ideas about the structure and topography of personality. However, whereas Freud was an id psychologist, Erikson was an ego psychologist. He emphasized the role of culture and society and the conflicts that can take place within the ego itself, whereas Freud emphasized the conflict between the id and the superego. According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature. These involve establishing a sense of trust...

According on the book, Egan model stage 1 is to help the helper address a main question which is 'what is going on?' (Egan 1994, p. 200). But before the helper and patient start any virtual consult, a healthy trust should be built up between with them. In the class, when I try to approach to Costa, he came into conflict with all my questions straight away. As a practitioner I would like to expect a perfect clinic patient, who was easy to talk with and carried less wariness. But Costa is kind of difficult to deal with. He is 50 years old Greek male, married, has 2 children in the college. His wife brought him into the clinic. She was quite worried about him, because he has prostate problems, over weight issue, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. In the first consultation, Costa seemed does not want to talk much about his illness state. I knew most guys refuse to talk about prostate cause it releases to genitals. He maybe feel shame and embarrassed about this kind of topic. In the Egan model stage I what I should do is to make him to trust me. As long as I move to the topic about his work and family life, he seems put down the heart of alarm, his sitting position looks more relax and his tone...

Five Stages of Group Development: As new employees are on-boarded, it is important understand the psychology of group formation. The development of groups will typically follow a five stage process. The five stages are: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Communication is essential throughout the group forming, as it will help the group move onto the next stage. The first stage, forming, is the initial orientation of a team. The members will work to grow to know each other as well as the mission and goals of the team. It is important to communicate to the team their roles and responsibilities to reduce potential conflict. Conflict is the basis of the next stage, the storming stage. The conflict arises as the members of the group assert their positioning within the group. Group leaders will emerge and their compatibility with the others in the team is vital to their continued formation. As the leader takes control of the group, the group enters the third stage of norming. In this stage, the group resolves the...

... Introduction There are five main stages in group development. These are formation, storming, norming, the performing stage and the adjourning stage (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2007). It is necessary for each of these stages to be undertaken by every group; clearly knowing when on stage ends and another begins. Failures to do so, problems occur, that may culminate to poor performance or not completing the assignment at all. An analysis on a research carried out in the University of Ontario, school of business. Students were asked to carry out a group assignment. This paper discusses Problems, causes and possible solutions of the problems in this group. a) The Issue. In Christine’s group, there are a number of issues that stir concern. Mike does not take his part of the assignment seriously. He comes to meetings poorly prepared and enjoys talking about unimportant issues during discussions and misses others. Janet, although hardworking, misses meeting sessions without apology. Christine, as the group leader, does not manage to unite the group members so as to achieve the best results. This does not comply with the mission statement and job description they had earlier signed in the exhibits. Janet’s plan to leave the group and work alone is an indication of the failure of the group to stick together. The major issue in this organization is leadership incompetence. b) The Problem Cause. In The forming stage, the members get to understand each other; allocating...

...learned to complete the second simulation in a much more efficient and timely manner. There are three stages in the simulation, including mobilization, movement, and sustain phases. The simulation begins in the mobilization phase, and in this phase it was important to get everyone aware of the new change we wish to initiate in the company. The key factor in the beginning was to introduce the new project to each person on a personal level, using personal interviews, skill building, and getting consultant’s support. All of these involve personal contact and were effective in making people both aware and interested to the change. The second stage was movement phase, and the key factors that lead to success in this stages was maintaining high credibility. We could gain credibility through getting consultant’s support and getting CEO’s public support. As majority individuals got into interest and trial stages we were able to use town hall meetings and walk the talk, which attracted more workers to be in interest and trial stages. Again, maintaining high credibility was important throughout the stages because low credibility meant low chance with people would buy in to the initiative. Lastly, in the sustain phase, having personal contact with each individual using private interview was an extremely powerful tool for making individuals in trial stages to move up to adoption stage. Moreover, recognizing an adopter, walk the talk , and holding town hall meeting were also...

You are required to investigate a business issue and to assess its implications for a business or a number of businesses. The investigation has three stages: 1 Planning stage — for this you must prepare a brief for your investigation and devise a plan to carry it out. This stage carries 24% of the total marks.

...that assists them in identifying the progression through the different stages of the project. A project is typically defined as an undertaking that is of a complex nature that is non-routine, a one-time effort and is limited by time, budget constraints, resources, and performance specifications designs to meet the specific needs of the final recipient (Grey & Larson, 2006). A project in its established characteristics possesses a defined life span with a beginning and end date, an established objective, specific time, cost, and performance requirement as mentioned earlier. A project also involves several departments and professionals, and most importantly, doing something that has never been done before. From the characteristics of a project mentioned above, a project life cycle fits with the defined life span of the project and the milestones that needs to be accomplished at different stages while the project is in progress. The project life cycle consists of four different stages which includes the defining or initiation phase, the planning phase, the execution phase, and finally the closure phase. Through these four stages, the project kicks off, starting out slowly in the first stage, increase to a high peak as it is in full swing, and then declines as the project comes to a close. These different stages will be discussed in further detail and a visual demonstration will also be given. The first stage of the project life cycle...

...Teamwork and Team Performance - Case Study 3/23/2013 Contents 1. Group Development 3 2. Problem Identification 3 3. Retrospective Evaluation 4 4. Reflection 5 1. Group Development There are five stages of group development in which a team passes through: Forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The group for this case study is currently, 1 week before the due date, in both the norming stage and performing stage. They have adapted to the absence of Mike and are motivated to finish the analysis in an effort to achieve a good grade. Each member has completed their part except Mike, who has just handed in notes to Christine. All of the other members have looked past any turmoil of Mike and either adapted to that or ignored him. Managing a team through these five stages will increase the overall effectiveness of that team; therefore understanding the different stages could have assisted Christine. If she knew what each stage entailed ahead of time, she could have anticipated certain issues or attempted to resolve them. In the beginning Christine should have laid out the group rules, assigned all the tasks, and allowed the members to introduce themselves and get to know one another. I think she did a good job leading them into scheduled meetings; however, Mike was just a complainer about the early meeting. When tension arose in the group, because Mike was upset seeing the group members having a good time and mingling without him...

...ED 673 School Culture | Follow-Up #2 | Scenario Responses | | Nan Kane | 0/29/2013 | | Scenario #1: Part A: Description of School Culture Issues The key school culture issue in scenario #1 is that the team is an interdisciplinary team that is not function as such. They have been together for six years and works like a “well-oiled machine. It is obvious that the team has worked through the four stages of group development because they have addressed the social, emotional, and developmental needs of their students. The team has the cornerstones for effective collaboration and teamwork People, Task and Process (Conzemius and O’Neill, 2002). They have the leadership, commitment, knowledge, and skills. The team has made decisions, problem solved, communicated, and met. They also accomplished certain goals. Productive collaboration takes both purpose and skill to be effective (Conzemius and O’Neill, 2002). The team has demonstrated the ability to create and implement a plan for addressing the emotional, social and developmental needs of students. However, they are not clear about their purpose that was set by the principal to integrate instruction among the disciplines. Part B: Immediate Actions I will meet with the principal, which I view as someone having expert power. He has experience and expertise in the area of working with teams. We will discuss what I observed in the team meetings and come to a consensus to form new 7th grade interdisciplinary...

...Leading Change in Theory Reflective essay Reflective writing is a strategy where we as students recollect what we have learnt and the process we have undertaken in learning and use this to reflect on how we have educated ourselves. We describe our experiences in the process of learning along with bringing out the emotions we felt at the particular time, also we may consolidate prior knowledge along with the present in order to fully understand and grasp the experience. Reflective writing allows us to understand the entire process of learning. My group formerly consisted of six members and finally ended up with only three, this was due to one member dropping out of this module and another two being unable to work with the final group as they felt our language and intellect wasn’t up to the mark. This made me feel extremely let down and somewhat anxious as to how we would function as a group of only three individuals; however our progress greatly improved since we were a smaller and more cohesive group. Our group had a more democratic form of leadership and we shared a sense of collective identity which greatly benefited us in completing our task. Our group values focused greatly on openness, respect, contribution and happiness. Each member contributed almost equally to the overall process and the all three of us were willing to listen and understand each other’s opinions. We divided the work amongst ourselves and decided we would complete it and share it with each other through...

...organisation aims to keep the living conditions of those prisoners at a particular standard. Furthermore, the novel “A man” by Oriana Fallaci and saying ‘goodbye’ to a career as a dancer were also significant stimuli. The recorded music was composed by Phillip Chambon, commissioned by London Festival Ballet. The designer again, was Christopher Bruce and the lighting was designed by David Mohr. Christopher Bruce designed Swansong’s setting on a bare proscenium stage, which leads the audience’s focus on the movement without any visual distractions. Dull colours are used to create the mood and atmosphere of being in a cell. The backdrop is black, showing that the cell-like stage is small, leaving the prisoner feeling trapped and claustrophobic, also creating a lonely and aggressive atmosphere. Another purpose of the colour is that it makes the dancers’ costumes stand out. The stage is also dark, which emphasises the interrogation. Although the stage is bare the interrogators always enter and exit from the same place on stage right giving the impression of there being a doorway into the dark room. The only visual clue is a sturdy...

...changes over both acts in small but significant ways allowing the audience to understand the detrition of the perfect reality in which Nora lives by. As a set or lighting designer, I would want the audience to experience a tense, chilling and abrupt atmosphere that illuminates the distorted reality, which is being broken slowly. As women during the late 1800’s where not meant to become involved with the dealings of money and business – it was the man’s job. By doing this Nora has brought on a sense of shame and disgrace to her family, as Helmer is lead to believe by the influence of society that he can no longer control his wife. In Act 1, Ibsen indicates to the set and lighting designers how he wishes the play to be set up. From the stage directions I am able to understand that the atmosphere within the opening scene of the play should be ‘comfortable and tasteful’ but ‘not expensively furnished’, allowing the audience to be welcomed to the play. By not ‘expensively’ furnishing the set, the audience understand the previous finical difficulties the family have been though, and can now see their gain in money by certain items. Backstage right a soft wooden oak door leads to a hallway, and backstage left another soft oak door with stairs leading up to Helmers study....
