The supervision process carried out by the Supervisor and Principal aims to improve the performance of the teachers. The teacher's performance includes the ability to prepare teaching materials, choose media learning, carry out learning and evaluate learning activities. For this reason supervisors in carrying out supervision activities must adopt a communication strategy that includes interpersonal communication, group communication and mass communication. However, in the implementation of supervision, supervisors experienced various obstacles including: Clarity of roles and tasks, Policy Structure, Communication Ability of Local and National Leader Support Supervisors.

Relationship Between Job Satisfaction And Turnover Intention

This study examines the level of job satisfaction and turnover intention among nurses in Karachi. The objectives of this study is to examine the impact and relationship of satisfaction with organizational policies and strategies, satisfaction with supervision, compensation levels, task clarity, and career development on turnover intention. An instrument based on five facets of job satisfaction and turnover intention was developed based on literature reviews to find out the level of job satisfaction and turnover intention. For this purpose data were collected from 400 nurses working in different hospitals of Karachi. The findings shows that satisfaction with organizational policies and strategies, satisfaction with supervision, compensation levels, task clarity, and career development all have significant negative correlation with turnover intention and overall job satisfaction was found to have a significant negative association with turnover intention.

Understanding student variances in learning outcomes and task interpretations from multimedia presentations

AbstractThis paper challenges a static view of the multimedia presentation as merely a final product for grading, and discusses how to elicit evidence‐based understandings about student learning from such a presentation. We present a micro‐ethnographic study investigating students’ learning outcomes and task interpretations from multimedia presentations. The study was situated in a global technology‐enabled course, in which three groups of students delivered three different presentations, ie, a theatrical play, a short movie and a PowerPoint slideshow, for the same assignment. With video transcriptions and student interviews, we identified different degrees of learning outcomes achieved by the three groups at the collective level, and explained their variances in task interpretations behind the respective outcomes. Based on the findings, we further discussed the learning gap, task clarity, cultural difference and workload in relation to the presentations, along with implications for instructional practice and future research. Practitioner NotesWhat is already know about this topic The multimedia presentation has been widely used by students to report group work. The student presentation is often viewed as merely a final product for grading, while few studies have discussed how to elicit learning evidence from it. In examining student presentations, it is important to go beyond grading and understand the student interpretation regarding the task. What this paper adds The paper situated a multimedia presentation in an intertextual chain and proposed an empirical approach to examine the presentation. The study identified that the three groups of students achieved different degrees of learning outcomes at the collective level. The study found that the three groups’ different learning outcomes were associated with their different interpretations of the task description. Implications for practice Instructors can adopt the micro‐ethnographic approach as an instructional tool to assess student learning in multiple dimensions from multimedia presentations. In designing a learning assignment, instructors should explicitly outline the rationale, expectation, and procedure in doing the assignment.

Chinese whispers? Investigating the consistency of the language of assessment between a distance education institution, its tutors and students

ABSTRACTEnsuring the fairness of assessment is important in all areas of higher education. It is particularly so in distance education, where the communication around assessment and feedback is a principal method of supporting learning, and even more so when the students are at the entry point into higher education. This research explores the nature of the language used in explaining the purpose and process of assessment on an access programme at The Open University, UK, from the perspective of the module team, the tutors and the students. It takes a qualitative approach to examine the clarity and consistency of assessment tasks, assessment guidance and TMGs. Analysis revealed inconsistencies in the language used in relation to assessment, which has led to a revision of how assessment tasks and guidance are communicated to students and tutors.

Children’s Music by A. Haidenko: Bayan Cycles of Didactic and Instructional Orientation

The aim of this paper is to reveal the indicative features for the field of children’s music on the one hand; and, on the other hand, for the composer’s creativity in general, with the didactic-guidance orientation of A. Haidenko.Research methodology is based on the historical, structural and functional, genre-style and intonational and dramaturgical methods.Results. Three cycles by A. Haidenko — «Prelude-Pictures», «Twelve Pieces for Children» and «Three Concert Etudes» — are considered in the context of the ancient tradition of writing music for children, in particular, in the context of Ukrainian children’s music for the accordion solo. The compliance of the mentioned works by A. Haidenko with the requirements for the field of children’s music is substantiated — the unity of artistic and didactic tasks. The range of images recorded in the program titles of the plays is described, and the ways of their reproduction in music are revealed. The author explores the widespread use of receptions aimed at children’s perception and contributing to the concretization of sound: synthesis through genre, stylization, the embodiment of speech intonations, onomatopoeia, motion reproduction. It is emphasized that the independence of individual plays is combined with the dramatic integrity of the cycles. Examples are given of the application of various types of bayan technique, aimed at mastering the expressive capabilities of the tool by the bayanists-beginners. It is concluded that the gradual complication of technical tasks from «Twelve Pieces for Children» to «Three Concert Etudes» makes it possible to consider three didactic and instructional cycles of A. Haidenko as a specific three-part «The School of Playing the Bayan», where the clarity of technical tasks is combined with the orientation of the shaped order of music to children’s perception.Novelty. «Preludes-pictures», «Twelve plays for children» and «Three concert Etudes» by A. Haidenko are systematized and summarized in terms of their compliance with their requirements of children’s music and as a representative of the composer’s work in general.

Efficacy of Jyotishmati Siddha Ghrita on Intelligence Quotient and Memory of School going children

Background: Intelligence and memory are the most superior cognitive functions. Theses function of brain help to connect to the environment around very smoothly. Early formative years of life are considered as the ‘critical period’ of life. Thus, any skill or knowledge acquired and practiced during the critical period, leaves a strong impression over the life of an individual. In-born (inherited) qualities summed up with acquired qualities do contribute to our performance but the major part involved is of ‘Attitude’. The attitude towards a problem makes an individual more potent and high performing. This is called as Intelligence. The problem solving attitude of a child totally depends up on the attitude that child has developed about the problem. Intelligence and memory are part of cognition which could be definitely enhanced by practice and mind training. An effort was made to evaluate the effect of cognition enhancing drugs mentioned in Ayurveda with augmentation of mind training. Objectives: Evaluation of efficacy of Jyotishmati Siddha Ghrita (clarified butter processed with Celastrus panniculatus Wild) and Plain Go-Ghrita (cow ghee) on performance intelligence quotient and memory of school going children. Materials and Methods: Total of 60 participants in two groups of 30 each aged 8 to 10 years were enrolled in the study. Jyotishmati Siddha Ghrita (trial) and Go-Ghrita (control) was administered at a dose of 10 ml/day for 3 months in group A & B respectively. Digit Span test and Alexander Pass Along Performance Test of Intelligence were used as the tools to assess IQ and memory. Observations and results: Improvement was seen only in BDS (Backward Digit Span). Other assessment factors such as FDS (Forward Digit Span) and IQ showed similar results in trial and control groups. Most of the subjects and their parents were convinced about increase in mental clarity of the classroom tasks with the help of Daily Routine Plan sheet (DRP) which contained mental training regarding study techniques and memory enhancement tasks. Conclusion: Administration of Jyotishmati Ghrita to school going children for a period of 3 months at a dose of 10 ml/day showed improvement in Backward Digit Span Test.

Planning for the Elicitation of Students’ Ideas: A Lesson Study Approach With Preservice Science Teachers

ABSTRACTIn an effort to better prepare science teachers to engage in high-leverage practices, this study investigates the choices and rationales of preservice science teachers in planning elicitation strategies and describes how their understandings about the elicitation of students’ ideas changed over time. Four cohorts of preservice science teachers engaged in a cycle of modified lesson study focused on the elicitation of student ideas. Findings suggest that the participants focused on revising the elicitation task to achieve greater task clarity and student participation and to provide more opportunities for individual thinking. One notable outcome of the study is the need for a greater conceptual distinction in science teacher education between elicitation practices in which resources for student thinking are identified and assessment practices that seek students’ progress toward learning goals.

Task distribution, work environment, and perceived health discomforts among Indian ceramic workers.

The study examined the work environment of Indian ceramics workers and assessed associations between work hazards, work category, and self-reported symptoms. The multi-method ergonomic review technique (MMERT) checkpoints was used for work analysis and prevalence of self-reported symptoms among 329 male workers. Ambient temperature and relative humidity in ceramic industries were 39.9°C and 17.4% respectively. Musculoskeletal discomfort was observed as a primary complaint; especially lower extremity pain (45%). Load handlers and machine operators had the highest levels of work hazards, including high skill requirement, strenuous work posture, poor commitment by the organization. Poor job autonomy, task clarity, hot workplace, inappropriate workplace design, inadequate auxiliary support, and mental overload were significantly associated with self-reported symptoms (P < 0.001). Work categories are associated with work hazards and may lead to various health symptoms among ceramic workers. Control of workplace hazards may lower rates of symptoms and thus may lead to improved health, productivity, and well-being. Am. J. Ind. Med. 59:1145-1155, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Work-related back discomfort and associated factors among automotive maintenance mechanics in Eastern Nigeria: A cross sectional study.

Back pain has been identified as a common cause of disability in the working population. Automotive mechanics habitually use awkward back posture in their course of manual activity and hence may be at risk of work-related back pain. To investigate the prevalence, pattern and severity of back pain among automotive maintenance mechanics, as well as the personal and job variables associated with or predicting occurrence of back pain. Using a cross-sectional design, information about self-reported back pain and the associated variables were collected among 684 randomly recruited automotive mechanics. Prevalence of back pain was 76.02%; with the majority experiencing low back pain. 63.3% of the workers reported they limited their activity due to the back pain. Older workers (>50 years), daily work lasting ≥5 hours duration, no more than primary education, being normal weight, frequent use of kneeling and sustained postures, and lack of knowledge of ergonomic postures were associated with increased prevalence of back pain. Lack of job autonomy, inadequate task clarity, heavy physical work load, manual material handling, strenuous posture, noisy environment, vibrations, work schedule and inadequate auxiliary support were also associated with increased prevalence of back pain among the mechanics. Work-related back pain is prevalent among automotive maintenance mechanics. Work-related back pain is high among automotive maintenance mechanics. Workstation policy and legislation on reduction of risks with combined health literacy and ergonomic education programs in this occupational group are imperative.

Demographic, ergonomic and psychosocial factors affecting work related musculoskeletal discomforts in tobacco

Work related musculoskeletal disorders have been associated with demographic factors, work stresses and psycho-social stress symptoms. The study aimed to evaluate factors associated with MSDs in different body regions among Indian tobacco processing workers. A group of 450 tobacco processing workers participated in the study. A questionnaire comprising of demographic factors, work related exposures, psycho-social stress and musculoskeletal discomforts was administered. Self-reported prevalence of MSDs, correlation statistics and risk estimates were calculated. Females reported a higher prevalence of discomfort in the upper back, lower back and knees. The ANOVA showed that female workers perceived the work environment and physical activity to be more strenuous compared to their male counterparts. Correlation analyses suggest the influence of different work related aspects on pain in different regions. Physically demanding task situations, high physical activity and poor task clarity were associated with MSDs in both female and male tobacco processing workers. In males, poor job feedback and badly illuminated workspaces, and in females highly specialized job and high skill levels required were associated with MSDs. Psychosocial stress symptoms of workers were found to be associated with pain in different body parts Strategies need to be formulated to improve adverse working conditions to reduce pain related problems and to improve performance in the tobacco processing work.

Understanding Auditors’ Sense of Responsibility for Detecting Fraud Within Organizations

The objective of this study is to evaluate auditors’ perceived responsibility for fraud detection. Auditors play a critical role in managing fraud risk within organizations. Although professional standards and guidance prescribe responsibility in the area, little is known about auditors’ sense of responsibility for fraud detection, the factors affecting perceived responsibility, and how responsibility affects auditor performance. We use the triangle model of responsibility as a theoretical basis for examining responsibility and the effects of accountability, fraud type, and auditor type on auditors’ perceived fraud detection responsibility. We also test how perceived responsibility affects auditor brainstorming performance given the importance of brainstorming in audits. A sample of 878 auditors (241 external auditors and 637 internal auditors) participated in an experiment with accountability pressure and fraud type manipulated randomly between subjects. As predicted, accountable auditors report higher detection responsibility than anonymous auditors. We also find a significant fraud type × auditor type interaction with external auditors perceiving the most detection responsibility for financial statement fraud, while internal auditors report similar detection responsibility for all fraud types. Analysis of the triangle model’s formative links reveals that professional obligation and personal control are significantly related to responsibility, while task clarity is not. Finally, the results indicate that perceived responsibility positively affects the number of detection procedures brainstormed and partially mediates the significant accountability–brainstorming relation.

From positive screen to engagement in treatment: a preliminary study of the impact of a new model of care for prisoners with serious mental illness.

BackgroundThe high prevalence of serious mental illness (SMI) in prisons remains a challenge for mental health services. Many prisoners with SMI do not receive care. Screening tools have been developed but better detection has not translated to higher rates of treatment. In New Zealand a Prison Model of Care (PMOC) was developed by forensic mental health and correctional services to address this challenge. The PMOC broadened triggers for referrals to mental health teams. Referrals were triaged by mental health nurses leading to multidisciplinary team assessment within specified timeframes. This pathway for screening, referral and assessment was introduced within existing resources.MethodThe PMOC was implemented across four prisons. An AB research design was used to explore the extent to which mentally ill prisoners were referred to and accepted by prison in-reach mental health teams and to determine the proportion of prison population receiving specialist mental health care.ResultsThe number of prisoners in the study in the year before the PMOC (n = 19,349) was similar to the year after (n = 19,421). 24.6 % of prisoners were screened as per the PMOC in the post period. Referrals increased from 491 to 734 in the post period (Z = −7.23, p < 0.0001). A greater number of triage assessments occurred after the introduction of the PMOC (pre = 458; post = 613, Z = 4.74, p < 0.0001) leading to a significant increase in the numbers accepted onto in-reach caseloads (pre = 338; post = 426, Z = 3.16, p < 0.01). Numbers of triage assessments completed within specified time frames showed no statistically significant difference before or after implementation. The proportion of prison population on in-reach caseloads increased from 5.6 % in the pre period to 7.0 % in the year post implementation while diagnostic patterns did not change, indicating more prisoners with SMI were identified and engaged in treatment.ConclusionsThe PMOC led to increased prisoner numbers across screening, referral, treatment and engagement. Gains were achieved without extra resources by consistent processes and improved clarity of professional roles and tasks. The PMOC described a more effective pathway to specialist care for people with SMI entering prison.

A microanalysis of the clarity of information in physicians’ and patients’ discussions of treatment plans with and without language barriers

ObjectivePhysicians and patients discuss treatment plans. If tasks within plans are not described adequately, patients cannot adhere. We evaluated task descriptions, testing whether patient engagement and language barriers affected task clarity. MethodWe sampled 12 videotaped hospital interactions from a corpus of 497: two encounters each from six hospital physicians, interacting with one native-speaking and one non-native-speaking patient. We used microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue to assess whether the physicians and patients achieved a complete, clear description of each task’s three core information elements (who should do what and when). ResultsWe conducted detailed analysis on 78 of the 90 tasks. Core information elements were complete in 62 (0.79) and clear in 37 (0.47). Language barriers had no effect on task clarity. When native-speaking patients were engaged, tasks were clearer (p<0.05). Although non-native-speaking patients were significantly more engaged (p<0.01), their engagement had no effect. ConclusionPhysicians may be pursuing patients’ agreement, motivation, and commitment at the expense of working with the patient to be clear about what needs to be done. Practice implicationsPhysicians need to improve how clearly they present basic task information. Previous research demonstrated that even a short course can significantly improve the clarity of instructions.

Using a discrete choice experiment to value the QLU-C10D: feasibility and sensitivity to presentation format.

To assess the feasibility of using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to value health states within the QLU-C10D, a utility instrument derived from the QLQ-C30, and to assess clarity, difficulty, and respondent preference between two presentation formats. We ran a DCE valuation task in an online panel (N = 430). Respondents answered 16 choice pairs; in half of these, differences between dimensions were highlighted, and in the remainder, common dimensions were described in text and differing attributes were tabulated. To simplify the cognitive task, only four of the QLU-C10D's ten dimensions differed per choice set. We assessed difficulty and clarity of the valuation task with Likert-type scales, and respondents were asked which format they preferred. We analysed the DCE data by format with a conditional logit model and used Chi-squared tests to compare other responses by format. Semi-structured telephone interviews (N = 8) explored respondents' cognitive approaches to the valuation task. Four hundred and forty-nine individuals were recruited, 430 completed at least one choice set, and 422/449 (94 %) completed all 16 choice sets. Interviews revealed that respondents found ten domains difficult but manageable, many adopting simplifying heuristics. Results for clarity and difficulty were identical between formats, but the "highlight" format was preferred by 68 % of respondents. Conditional logit parameter estimates were monotonic within domains, suggesting respondents were able to complete the DCE sensibly, yielding valid results. A DCE valuation task in which only four of the QLU-C10D's ten dimensions differed in any choice set is feasible for deriving utility weights for the QLU-C10D.

Bodystorming: effects of collaboration and familiarity on improvising contemporary dance.

In contemporary dance, cognitive events are not necessarily restricted "to the skin or skull of an individual" (Hutchins in Int Encycl Soc Behav Sci 2068-2072, 2001) but distributed across dancers during collaborative improvisation. There is some experimental evidence of greater output when people perform problem-solving tasks alone. However, when a task is challenging and paired participants are familiar with each other, pairwise and emergent outcomes are more plentiful than solo outcomes. We investigate these factors in the context of dance with the broad hypothesis that innovation is enhanced when dancers improvise together compared with when they improvise alone. Dancers (N = 10) in a professional company improvised for 2 min alone and then with another dancer. Dancer familiarity (familiar, unfamiliar) and task (expressive, non-expressive) were crossed (within-subjects). The improvisations were video-recorded over 2 h in the dancers' usual improvisation space. After each improvisation, the dancers: stated the number of movement ideas expressed and rated task ease, satisfaction, interest, novelty, originality and clarity. In both tasks, there was a tendency for self-report of a greater number of movement ideas expressed in familiar and unfamiliar pairs than alone. Ratings of task ease, satisfaction, interest, clarity, etc. were slightly higher in the unfamiliar pair condition. In the non-expressive task, ratings of the task were higher in pairs (M = 3.02, SD 0.82) than in the solo (M = 2.67, SD 0.96) condition. Distributed creativity, relational cognition and social facilitation are used to interpret the results.

DRIVERS OF CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION - A STUDY OF EDUCATION SERVICE

In many services, customer participation is necessary for value creation. The questions are whether customers always actively participate and what the antecedents of their participation behavior are. This study proposes a model including customer motivation, task clarity and customer capability as predictors of customer participation, which is then tested in the higher education service in Vietnam. The results show that customers need to have motivation and capability to actively participate in the value creation of the education service.

ESTUDIO INTERPROFESIONAL DE VARIABLES PSICOEDUCATIVAS

Abstract.INTERPROFESIONAL STUDY OF PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL VARIABLESThe bournout construct is considered as a pathology derived from physical environment, characteristics of work, and especially from interpersonal relatilonships, not by genetic factors. It affect especially to those profesionals related with people, affecting to quality of life ant to the results of work, lowsing the work motivation. We present a study assessing 594 different profesionals through questionnaires about bounout: demographic variables (VGS), the Conflict and Ambiguity of Role Questionnaire (CACR), el Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS). And the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) for assess the stress. The Personalioty Questionnaire (NEO-FFI), the General Perceived Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (AEG) and the Motivation Scale (ESCMOT). The kindergarden school teachers reached high marks in ambiguity of role showing high clarity in atribuitions, competences, aims, responsabilities, tasks and work contents, how to do and that we expect about them. With respect to role conflicto, the firemen are who reach higher marks, showing the difficults to manage tasks and times and the urgency of their work. About the profesional efficacy, the kindergarden teachers are who reach higher marks. We discuss results for psychoeducational guidance and counseling.Keywords: Burnout, stress, self-eficacy, motivation, profesional groups, counsellingResumen.El constructo burnout es considerado como una patología derivada más que factores genéticos, de las características del ambiente físico, de las demandas del puesto de trabajo, pero sobre todo de las relaciones interpersonales. Afecta principalmente a aquellos profesionales cuyos destinatarios principales de su labor profesional son las personas, incidiendo en diferentes aspectos de la calidad de vida afectando negativamente al desempeño de las tareas y funciones laborales, manifestándose también en un descenso de la motivación laboral de los profesionales La muestra está compuesta por (N= 594) profesionales españoles pertenecientes a diferentes sectores profesionales. A todos ellos se les pidió que cumplimentaran los siguientes cuestionarios e instrumentos: un cuestionario de variables sociodemográficas (VGS), el Cuestionario de Ambigüedad y Conflicto de Rol (CACR), el Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) para evaluar el burnout, la Escala de Estrés Percibido (PSS-14) para evaluar el estrés, el Cuestionario de Personalidad (NEO-FFI), El cuestionario de Autoeficacia General Percibida (AEG) y la Escala de Motivación (ESCMOT).

Administrative staff members’ job competency and their job satisfaction in a Korean research university

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of administrative staff's job competency on their job satisfaction in a Korean research university. We conceptualized job satisfaction into three subcomponents: satisfaction in the job field, in the workplace, and with the actual task. In the regression analysis, we included demographics, inner motivation, work environments, and nature of work (e.g. clarity of task) factors as the predictors of job satisfaction. We included job competency as a main research variable in the model. This study found that the administrative staff's interpersonal skills affect their overall job satisfaction, and that each dimension of job competency (organizational understanding, problem solving, interpersonal skills, ICT skills, and global competency) has a different impact on the different dimensions of job satisfaction (job field, workplace, and job task).

Managing vulnerability: the implementation of vulnerability reduction measures

Activities involving hazardous substances may cause safety risks to the environment. In addition to hazard reduction measures, such as implementing safety management systems at hazardous facilities, and exposure reduction measures, such as employing safe distances between vulnerable objects and hazardous activities, safety risks can be further minimised through the implementation of vulnerability reduction measures. In the area near where activities involving dangerous substances are being carried out, measures can be taken to reduce the vulnerability, such as increasing the possibilities for emergency response and evacuation. This paper examines what the issues influencing the consideration and implementation of vulnerability reduction measures are. This is done through an examination of land use planning projects in the Netherlands and an analysis of two examinations from the National Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate on the implementation of vulnerability reduction measures to discuss the representativeness of the findings for the Netherlands. The examinations, including the examinations of the Inspectorate, show that the consideration of vulnerability reduction measures is narrower than required by Dutch rules and regulations. Additionally, the implementation of measures is limited. Only half of the vulnerability reduction measures that are adopted in land use plans are actually implemented. Important factors that hampered the consideration and adoption of measures are the restrictions of actual rules and regulation with respect to the enforceability of measures, the limited expertise of those involved and the lack of clarity in tasks and roles regarding the consideration and monitoring of vulnerability reduction measures. More fundamentally, the effectiveness of measures and the need for further risk reduction was discussed. Consequently, more insight is required into the costs and benefits of vulnerability reduction measures and if a more explicit consideration of vulnerability in land use planning practices is desired, elaboration will be needed in the areas of planning legislations, procedures and expertise.

The Influence of Leadership Empowerment Behavior on Organizational Performance

Employee empowerment is an expression frequently used in today's executive circles and it has gained importance in the management policies and practices. The purpose of this study is to determine the conditions under which leaders of organization lend hand in empowerment implementation and sustain its level as per the cultural context of that particular organization and then its overall impact on organizational performance. Data is collected from a sample of 300 middle managers through structured questionnaire and interviews. Results indicate positively significant relationship of employee empowerment sustainability to supervisory support, capable authorities, trust, task clarity, responsibility, co-operative relationships, teamwork, and motivation. Global weighted indices are obtained through the application of Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). Results show that the potential or the well-managed factors in sport industry include authorities' competence, professional attitude, and the concern for the development of their employees. Whereas the potential factors for textile sector are competence, trustworthiness, and abilities of higher authorities. The potential factors for automobiles industry are depicted by competence, hard work of higher authorities, and trustworthiness on their departmental managers. In Pakistan, however, mostly authorities work with directive management instead of providing their employees with added control and discretion over task, rewards and empowerment training. Originality of this study uses multidimensional AHP technique to prioritize factors that influence the leadership empowerment behavior on organizational performance in different business settings within the context of Pakistan.
