Three-pronged (3P) Approach to Strengthen Feedback Mechanism in Engineering Education

Abstract: Effectiveness in teaching-learning process and attainment of program outcomes are the areas for which educational institutes are largely accountable. Internal feedback mechanism is the key to enhance the quality of teaching-learning process thereby contributing towards attainment of program outcomes and hence important for the growth of institute. This mechanism should be strong enough for receiving adequate information from stakeholders to help in tweaking or improving the processes. Feedback from students has been a common mechanism being followed in the educational institutes. Also, the industry feedback is considered for curriculum revision. In this paper we will discuss about threepronged (3P) approach for such a feedback mechanism. Three prongs in this approach are the closed loop feedback mechanism, sensitizing students about the importance of feedback and agility in feedback process. Designing feedback and analyzing the feedback received from all the sources in tandem is the backbone of this approach and has been discussed in detail in this paper. The paper presents case study of implementation of proposed 3P approach to enhance the students' learning of computer programming course. Keywords: feedback, teaching-learning process, feedback design, feedback analysis, agility

This study focuses on the political marketing strategy carried out by Budi Prayitno as a senior legislative candidate from the PDI-P Party in carrying out political marketing. The presence of Budi Prayitno as a senior figure is evidenced by his tenure as a member of the Magelang City DPRD for 3 terms from the PDI-P Party. In this study, the author uses a 3P approach model (push marketing, pass marketing and pull marketing). The research findings show that the political marketing strategy implemented by Budi Prayitno is structured and directed according to the target. Some of the political marketing strategies used by Budi Prayitno, including: first, blusukan or campaigns that go directly to the public as Push Marketing. Second, the use of community groups and political parties as a marketing pass. Third, the use of social media as pull marketing. This study aims to determine Budi Prayitno's Political Marketing in Facing the 2019 Magelang City DPRD General Election. The type of research used in this study is a case study qualitative research. The data and information needed in this study were obtained from information from informants, namely people who are considered to know and can be trusted in providing accurate information by using two types of data, namely primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques in this study were direct observation to the research site, in-depth interviews and documentation at the research site. The results of this study indicate that Political Marketing Budi Prayitno in Facing the General Election of Members of the DPRD City of Magelang in 2019 used a political marketing approach (push marketing, pull marketing, and pass marketing) to increase his voting bar because in yesterday's election there were several promises politics that he did not realize when he served as chairman in the previous period.

3P Approach to Compensation Management and its Implications for Employee Performance at Work

This article provides a synthesis of the 3P approach to compensation management with a comprehensive explanation on how these approaches can affect an employee’s performance at work. Through the theoretical lenses, the study looked into the 3P compensation system based on the fundamentals of paying for position, person and performance along with advantages and disadvantages of each. Subsequently, it identified different factors that are considered critical to the development of an organization’s compensation policies on the basis of this 3P approach. In addition, this paper proposed some recommendations conducive to the emergence of high performing organization by reducing the shortcomings of this approach in aligning the compensation policies with its management practices and business strategies.

Data to diagnosis in global health: a 3P approach

BackgroundWith connected medical devices fast becoming ubiquitous in healthcare monitoring there is a deluge of data coming from multiple body-attached sensors. Transforming this flood of data into effective and efficient diagnosis is a major challenge.MethodsTo address this challenge, we present a 3P approach: personalized patient monitoring, precision diagnostics, and preventive criticality alerts. In a collaborative work with doctors, we present the design, development, and testing of a healthcare data analytics and communication framework that we call RASPRO (Rapid Active Summarization for effective PROgnosis). The heart of RASPRO is Physician Assist Filters (PAF) that transform unwieldy multi-sensor time series data into summarized patient/disease specific trends in steps of progressive precision as demanded by the doctor for patient’s personalized condition at hand and help in identifying and subsequently predictively alerting the onset of critical conditions. The output of PAFs is a clinically useful, yet extremely succinct summary of a patient’s medical condition, represented as a motif, which could be sent to remote doctors even over SMS, reducing the need for data bandwidths. We evaluate the clinical validity of these techniques using SVM machine learning models measuring both the predictive power and its ability to classify disease condition. We used more than 16,000 min of patient data (N=70) from the openly available MIMIC II database for conducting these experiments. Furthermore, we also report the clinical utility of the system through doctor feedback from a large super-speciality hospital in India.ResultsThe results show that the RASPRO motifs perform as well as (and in many cases better than) raw time series data. In addition, we also see improvement in diagnostic performance using optimized sensor severity threshold ranges set using the personalization PAF severity quantizer.ConclusionThe RASPRO-PAF system and the associated techniques are found to be useful in many healthcare applications, especially in remote patient monitoring. The personalization, precision, and prevention PAFs presented in the paper successfully shows remarkable performance in satisfying the goals of 3Ps, thereby providing the advantages of three A’s: availability, affordability, and accessibility in the global health scenario.

Supporting instructors in innovation: a three‐component approach

PurposeThis paper seeks to advance an approach to supporting instructors in adopting new models of teaching, particularly when new technology is involved. The approach comprises three components: conceptual principles underpinning new learning models; process by which instructors are supported in understanding and applying principles; and a technological platform which facilitates sharing of experiences and knowledge about the process and outcomes of innovation (3Ps approach).Design/methodology/approachThe design research methodology involved joint identification of problems with practitioners (target users of the approach), iterative testing of solutions in real‐world settings and refining them based on practitioner input. Data collection methods involved walkthroughs, a questionnaire‐based survey, and semi‐structured interviews.FindingsThe 3P approach was evaluated in relation to the key requirements – validity, practicality, and systemic aspects. The findings show that the approach is valid and practical in terms of its purpose of enhancing knowledge sharing and peer learning within and across the subject disciplines, as well as in terms of enabling contextualised professional development. However, sustainability and ease of adoption of the approach were perceived by instructors as somewhat problematic. Organisational and cultural factors that could impact the sustainability of the approach were identified.Practical implicationsIt is argued that the 3Ps approach could enable eliciting reflections on and instruments for successful practice and provide a forum for sharing, discussing or extending practice.Originality/valueThis generic approach could be adapted to support professional development of instructors in a range of different contexts, both in companies and in educational institutions.

Affordable ways to improve application development

If an important client suddenly required that you conform to a process standard, could you afford to do so? Could you afford not to? The 3P Process Improvement Strategy is the answer. Two cases illustrate its benefits. In one case, a CMM Level 1 organization underwent a CMM based assessment for Internal Process Improvement less than one year after working with elements of 3P. The certifying agency found it compliant in all but one key process area, and the certification cost the company less than $100000 (US). In a second case, a small firm won a major procurement and has been vocal in crediting the win to efforts associated with the 3P strategy. The strategy derives its name from its core components: policies, processes, and products. The 3P approach is primarily pragmatic: it supports the notion that compliance with an established standard should serve as a sanity check, not an end in itself. Using 3P, you start with business and technical self-assessments, which lead directly to the improvement of a single process (or, if you have the resources, many processes). Your plans need not be elaborate, but must be complete. 3P provides a six-step program to help you monitor your progress. Monitoring is key: if you get commitment from your boss, yourself, and your team to honest assessment, the improvement program will yield long term benefits.
