...Research Strategy & Project Plan 10 Problems Faced and Learning: 10 Learned Time Management Skills and Reflection Skills: 11 New Learning during the Research Project: Reviewing a Case Study 11 Conclusion from the Case study 13 My Reflections on the Research Questions: 13 References 14 Abstract The point addressed in this research document is the Importance of Planning and Reflection Skills at Postgraduate Level and also an assumption that post graduate students acquire planning and critical reflection skills automatically during their post graduate studies. Planning, critical thinking and reflecting are the pillars of the postgraduate study, managerial work and continuing professional development (CPD). “It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost. It is from the feelings and thoughts emerging from this reflection that generalizations or concepts can be generated. And it is generalizations that allow new situations to be tackled effectively.” (Gibbs 1988) Reflection is a key element in any successful planning. You are probably a successful graduate and already have many of the skills required for postgraduate study. But there are some skills that assessed more stringently at postgraduate level, like planning and reflection skills.

...INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL Submitted To INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Ernesto Noronha ACADEMIC ASSOCIATE: Ms. Avantika Gautam In partial fulfilment of requirements of the course Qualitative Methods (Term III) (2014) By P K V Kishan (FPM, Economics) Date: 20th February 2014 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, AHMEDABAD "What drives school teachers towards better performance? - Findings from Qualitative interviews" Motivation Teachers are the focal point of knowledge dissemination anywhere in the world. A teacher discharges various roles in a society besides assisting learning in the classroom – that of a motivator, nurturer, critic, life coach, leader and a continual learner herself. During the course of her lifetime, a teacher touches multiple lives and engenders positive externalities in the community through her students and herself. Her role becomes all the more important in the context of primary and secondary education as development of a child’s personality takes place during her early years and a great deal of that development is built on learning that happens at school. It is the teacher who creates an environment conducive for learning. Learning takes place by constant engagement of both student and teacher. While the student’s engagement is for her own good, the teacher needs to engage in the heterogeneous learning needs of students she teaches, has taught or is connected to. That requires constant, untiring efforts on the part of the teacher. Edwards, Gandini and Forman...

...a job. Employers should look at your qualifications and check references to determine if there are any discrepancies in your resume rather than look at social network profiles. Before the age of social media, employers solely relied on a person’s application to judge if they were qualified, if they would fit in with the company and if they would live up to the company image. With social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram businesses can now see much more of a potential employee’s personality before they hire them. Unfortunately many of the things they see could be taken out of context or misunderstood. Depending upon how a person has their privacy settings certain pieces of information surrounding a particular post could be left out. According to an article written by Kevin Casey, he quotes Jennifer McClure of Unbridled Talent, “We should be...

It is especially important in a new business as resources would be required to carry out operations. The limousine business is also starting up in Austin, Texas; hence it would need to build the right team in right time. However the process of finding and selecting right people is dependent on the geographic location where the business is based. The company needs to meet the challenge of being based in Austin. This means that staff has to have their base location as Austin. Using strategies that fail will lead to wastage of time and resources, due to which it becomes extremely important to plan well, search creatively and select wisely. Recruitment and Selection Strategies Recommendations The first stage of recruitment and selection is management of applicants and welcoming the applicant to the business. Recruitment and selection are typically measured as one method. Though, the distinction will be made here between the first actions and concerns when preparing staff recruitment and the procedure of selecting an applicant from a group of candidates (Cascio, 2013). Recruitment needs to be sensibly planned to attract the correct employee’s to Landslide...

...excellent clinical instructors for the nursing program’s accreditation status. The best way to do this is to ensure that all clinical instructors are provided with the necessary information to succeed in clinical rotations. The clinical peer review evaluation plan is designed to collect participant’s stories and includes an observation phase. The participants are the new and adjunct clinical instructors, and the reviewers are clinical nurse instructors who are certified nurse educators.

...How Social Media Can Affect Privacy and Employment The right to privacy is a value in American culture; however there is no Constitutional right that protects an individual’s privacy. Everyone has an opinion to what privacy means to them; personally I feel that privacy is the information about myself or my family that I do not want others to know. When individuals choose to expand their space or allow things to become public on the internet or digital media, they are allowing themselves to be viewed by others, and therefore relinquishing privacy. When individuals post images and opinions online they are unaware that the post may limit future employment opportunities. People need to be conscious of the possible impact that social and digital media may have. I agree that privacy should be a personal choice to determine. It is our responsibility to post information about ourselves that represents who we are as a whole person. How an individual portrays themselves should be the same online as it is off. When applying for a new job you are prepared for the drug testing, and the background check; however it never crossed your mind that this potential employer may also run a check on your Facebook page, Twitter page or any social media groups you may be associated with, “75% of recruiters are required by their companies to do online research of candidates, and some 70% of recruiters in the United States report that they have rejected candidates because of information online” (Rosen...

This paper is a critique of F Demie’s ‘Achievement of Black Caribbean pupils: good practice in Lambeth schools’, which is an interpretive study by Feyisa Demie Jan McKenley, Chris Power, and Louise Ishani. The LEA provided the funding for this research project. The aim of the research according to Demie was to ‘Identify a number of significant common themes for success in raising the achievement of Caribbean heritage pupils’. In order to analyse these achievement rates, Researchers looked at good practise in Lambeth schools. Demie does not provide the reader with any clues in regard to the researchers’ backgrounds and qualifications. One cannot learn from the report under analysis whether Demie et al were LEA employees with a task to prepare a ground for future policy making. Demie et al chose to study 10 primary and 3 secondary schools in the Lambeth region, where the rates of Black Caribbean performance were reported to be above national and LEA (Local Education Authority) averages. The aim of the investigation was to identify the factors enabling pupils of Black Caribbean origin to achieve high standards in British schools, and to track ‘significant common themes for success in raising the achievement’...
