...THE EFFECT OF STUDY HABITS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF FRESHMEN EDUCATION STUDENTS IN XAVIER UNIVERSITY, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, SCHOOL YEAR 2008-2009” Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM A. Introduction The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator of such learning. If a learner earns high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would account for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been an interplay of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, the researchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate education students of Xavier University- Ateneo de Cagayan. The investigation of on this area thus becomes a real and compelling motivation for the researchers to conduct this study. B. Conceptual Framework Independent variables as it influence the dependent variable...

...Research Project: Leadership & Coordinators in Education CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Most educational institutions in Lebanon are private for-profit organizations. However, because of their nature, they are social as well as economic organizations. They are responsible for educating an entire generation of workers, entrepreneurs, and politicians. This means that the educational system is responsible for the social and economic well-being of our entire country. Therefore, the success of these institutions is vital to our society, and any problems they may face must be identified and solved in order to better our economic and social status as a nation. Now, research on the role of subject coordinators in schools and universities has shown that this role can influence the successful implementation of the school’s vision which, in turn, will influence teacher performance and student results. The fact is that subject coordinators are a link between administrators and teachers thus making them essential players and leaders in implementing the school vision in the classroom, leading to a generation of students that are brighter and more prepared for the economic and social workplace. Sadly, the role of subject coordinators has been very unclear and vague, even in the West where Education research is ahead of most other parts in the world. This ambiguous role leads to confusion in implementing an academic agenda preparing smart and well-prepared students. Reviewing modern research, it...

...Off-balance-sheet activities, earnings persistence and stock prices: Evidence from operating leases* Weili Ge University of Washington Business School University of Washington Mackenzie Hall, Box 353200 Seattle, WA 98195 (206) 221-4835 geweili@u.washington.edu November 22, 2006 Abstract This paper examines the implications of the off-balance-sheet treatment of operating leases for future earnings and stock returns. The property rights granted by an operating lease contract generate both future benefits (off-balance-sheet capital investment) and future obligations (offbalance-sheet financing liabilities) for the lessee. The change in the off-balance-sheet capital investment can be viewed as a form of growth in net operating assets and also a form of offbalance-sheet accruals. By examining the footnote disclosure on operating leases, this paper shows that, after controlling for current earnings, greater off-balance-sheet operating lease activities lead to lower future earnings. This finding is consistent with diminishing marginal returns to investment in operating lease activities. Additional tests show that investors seem to incorrectly estimate the implications of off-balance-sheet lease activities for future earnings. A long-short investment strategy that exploits this misestimation generates significant future abnormal stock returns. These results suggest that the accrual anomaly documented in prior research extends to off-balance-sheet lease accruals. * This paper...

...Knowledge Cultures 3(1), 2015, pp. 24–44 ISSN (printed): 2327-5731 • e-ISSN 2375-6527 PHENOMENOLOGY OF RACIAL OPPRESSION LAUREN FREEMAN Lauren.Freeman@Louisville.edu University of Louisville ABSTRACT. This paper attempts to further understand the lived experiences of racial oppression by bringing together personal testimonies, resources from phenomenology, and empirical work on stereotype threat. Integrating these three areas provides a psychological, existential, physiological, and embodied understanding of the fundamental harm of racial oppression. My aim is to show that the harm of existing as racially oppressed is not just psychological or physiological. That is, racial oppression is not only harmful with regards to the immediate and lasting effects of the compiled stresses that result from continually being made aware of one’s bodily existence as “other” in a predominantly and normatively white world. In addition, racially oppressed people also often lose a sense of themselves, become alienated from themselves, and come to understand themselves vis-à-vis the oppressor. Combining contextualized analyses of the psychological, existential, physiological, and embodied dimensions of oppression, I argue that existing as racially oppressed in a white supremacist society also changes the ontological structure of one’s being-in-the-world. Keywords: phenomenology; oppression; stereotype threat; Martin Heidegger “Only when we come to be very clear about how race...

Journal of Advanced Nursing 65(12), 2719–2732. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.2009.05157.x Abstract Title. The use of theory in qualitative approaches to research: application in end-of-life studies. Aim. This paper is a report of an analysis of the use of theory in qualitative approaches to research as exemplified in qualitative end-of-life studies. Background. Nurses researchers turn to theory to conceptualize research problems and guide investigations. However, researchers using qualitative approaches do not consistently articulate how theory has been applied, and no clear consensus exists regarding the appropriate application of theory in qualitative studies. A review of qualitative, end-of-life studies is used to illustrate application of theory to study design and findings. Data sources. A review of theoretical literature was carried out, focusing on definitions...

...Human Resource Management Applied Project #2 - Employee Selection at Dynamo Industries 1. Critique the selection methods that have been developed by Dynamo Industries. Specifically, critique the (a) personality profiles based on the (1) 16 PF and (2) the TAT, (b) interviewer ratings, (c) intelligence test, (d) handwriting analysis, (e) promotability analysis, (f) performance ratings and (g) work sample scores. Cite independent research sources as appropriate to support your position. (20 points) Personality Assessments Thematic Apperception Test While personality tests can offer one the ability to observe an individual’s psyche, both conscience and subconscious, respectively, its validity to actually “judge” an individual within an interview process is not a best-practice method. As research has indicated “…the TAT is a powerful and revealing measure that has made an undeniable contribution to the motivation literature. However, to the extent that the administration and scoring of the test can be improved and refined through the development of a standard set of cues, group norms, and a more efficient scoring system, the true potential of this measure is at present untapped.”TAT Administration TAT Administration Personality Factors (16) Similar to the TAT test, using standardized personality tests as determining factors within an interview process is controversial. However, personality tests are standardized and most employers consider quantitative scores...

But how do you know what the customer wants; According to the textbooks, market research ought to provide the answer. Unfortunately, heeause of the way most traditional marketing research is conducted, it has fallen short of this important objective. At the core of the problem is the practice of using marketing research to confirm that a decision already made is the right decision rather than using market research to identify alternative choices and to support the process hy which the hest alternative is ehosen. In this series of foldout tables, I present a guide for managers who want to use market research to develop and support market-based decisions. The tables form a decision-support framework that uses research tools to help companies develop a balanced approach to the "technology push/demand pull" product development process. The structural components of the framework are accountable management, the company's decision process, marketplace reality, and the market research function.

Here, a member of Brazil’s Pataxo tribe offers a traditional greeting to a visitor. Societ y: The Basics, Eighth Ed itio n by Jo hn J. Ma cio nis. Published b y Prentice -Hall. Co pyright © 2006 by Pear son Edu cation, In c. I f you were to ask 100 people, “Why do couples marry?” it is a safe bet that at least ninety would reply, “People marry because they fall in love.” Indeed, it is hard for us to imagine a happy marriage without love; likewise, when people fall in love, we expect them to think about marriage. But is the decision about whom to marry really so simple and so personal? There is plenty of evidence that if love is the key to marriage, Cupid’s arrow is carefully aimed by the society around us. In short, society has a number of “rules” about whom we should marry. What are they? Right off the bat, society rules out half the population because U.S. laws (despite recent actions in cities such as San Francisco and likely change in Massachusetts) do not allow people to marry someone of the same sex even if the couple is deeply in love. But there are other rules as well. Sociologists have found that people—especially when they are young—are very likely to marry someone close in age, and men and women of all ages typically marry someone of the same race, of a similar social class background, of much the...
