...The Influences of Online Gaming to the Academic Performance of the Grade 10 Business High School Students of Pasig Catholic College School Year 2015-2016 By Mesfin Bram. Diosina Jarazea Ron Bugnot Alyza Clariss Anne Lazaro Erica Mae Balogbog Enzo Rafael Raymundo Milleamor Joy Gulde Chapter 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND: Introduction: Many students this time likes to play online games such as Defense of the Ancients, League of Legends, and other online games that sometimes students forget their academic responsibilities and they end up either having low grades or failing tests and their subjects. Most of them goes to internet shops/cafes after school and play games for a minimum amount of money but they often stay there for a long period of time, most of them plays for an hour or two but some can play longer than the latter. We as students, also play and enjoy online games because playing online games is part of our leisure time as a teenager or student. We may spend a lot of time and money on it, but some students like us maintain our grades but mostly fail our grades due to ‘gaming overdose’ and that can’t be avoided due to adrenaline rushes that the games’ thrill gives us, but it can be stopped. We can stop it by limiting our gaming habits so that we can...

...28th October 2011 Reflective journal Section M I start reading the with something unknown to me but as i move further in book,i become so glad to have solution of my main problems in my hand and start reading with more interest. I realised that indeed I’ve many paradigms and the first of all the paradigm I’m having is that somehow I believe that I’m not a good cricketer. I’ve been playing cricket since I was 9 years old. I’ve played for my school, academy and numerous clubs, but the fact that I’ve never been able to score a century and that some of my fellows are playing today at a higher level than me is something that annoys me. Moreover I also think that I’m a slow or maybe poor learner. It takes me hours to understand few pages of my course pack and consequently I’m always unable to score good in exams because mostly I’m not able to complete my syllabus on time. Similarly I think that I’m not an intelligent student Principles are foundation of any great personalities in the world because they show you to world what you are.principle of loyalty is which i am following because loyalty to any cuase , task ,person takes you nearer to that and inreturn you will get loyalty of that.Principle of respect is also an important factor that's what i m following baecuase great personalities...

...Principles That Promote Learning Natalie White ORG 525 Mr. Foster September 4, 2002 Principles That Promote Learning Many of today’s schools are not organized to effectively support and encourage learning. Our existing administrative structures—often organized in a bureaucratic and hierarchical configuration, our value systems, and our professional training programs are often in conflict with the kind of systemic change that the times demand. Teachers are isolated, without opportunities to collaboratively solve problems, share information, learn together, and plan for improving student achievement. Too often, students are not provided with work that is engaging, that meets high academic standards, and that is challenging and satisfying. Time is not always utilized effectively, and technologies that could enhance teaching and learning are either not available or not fully utilized. And our educational leadership preparation programs have not prepared their graduates to identify, address, and resolve these issues. My finding articles “Sculpting the learning community: New forms of working and organization” by Karen E. Watkins and Victoria J. Marsick, talk about how “school are communities in which learning is supposed to take place, but they do not always function well as learning communities. The important of this article is that it gives one version of targets, key aspect of learning organizations as the basis for self-examination. As the learner read...

The Implementation...they could not care less NewWay (in order of priorities) 1. Implementation... 2. Process... 3. Document... The old way was about efficiency. Satisfying a govt body who wanted a document. The new way is about effectiveness. If you focus on effectiveness, the likely by product is that you will be efficient. If you focus on efficiency, the likeliness of being effective is 50/50. Involvement and participation by a lot of people equals successful implementation... The lack of the same equals resistance.

...#1: Paradigm shift Bionics technology Bionics technology is the use of systems and methods that occur naturally and then applying those methods and systems to engineering and technology studies (1). One example of how the study of systems in nature have been used to develop products that can be manufactured and taken to market was in the development of dirt and water resistant paint. The paint was developed after observing that nothing will stick to the leaf of the Lotus flower (2). Another example of technology that was developed from studying nature would be Sonar which mimics the echolocation of bats (3). There are currently several companies, including Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, which are developing Ekso Bionics body armor for military use. These suits would allow a soldier to lift as much as 200Lbs without assistance reducing the need for special lifting equipment in the field (4). Another advantage to soldier’s would be the ability to run greater distances with less fatigue. This would be accomplished because the weight of the soldier would be transferred to the ground through titanium legs (5). The lack of a reliable, lightweight power source is the one thing that is currently holding back the development and use of Ekso Bionics. However, developers are currently exploring the use of electrochemical and solid oxide fuel cells to overcome this problem (6). In the future this technology will be used in a more routine day to day basis in areas such as manufacturing...

...ITT Tech Gary Sims Jr. a significant change in the paradigm of any discipline or group: “Putting skilled, tenured teachers in failing schools would cause a paradigm shift in teaching and education.” 08 Fall Paradigm Shift A Paradigm Shift is not just a small change in science, or the modification of a theory. It is a scientific revolution and completely changes the way in which science looks at the world. It often dictates how the public looks at the world. A paradigm shift is often the result of scientists working at the fringe of the paradigm, performing research that most other researchers feel is a little misguided, or a dead end. In most instances, this view is correct but, every so often, a scientist has a revelation. More often than not, they feel the weight of scientific and public opinion, and become ridiculed. However, slowly but surely, other scientists try out the research, and a few lost voices in the wilderness increase into a new way of thinking. For example, explorations of chaos theory took a long time to take root, and his ideas were marginalized, because they lay outside the established classical paradigm of physics. Early Chaos Theorists found difficulties in receiving funding, finding supervisors, and finding journals willing to publish their research. Kuhn’s paradigm definition is a little more than a theory, although the terms are often used interchangeably. It is a complete and overall view of a phenomenon, often relying upon some basic principles...

...Paradigm Shift Problem Solving Theory Research Paper 1 October 2, 2014 What is a Paradigm Shift? A paradigm shift is defined as a “radical change in an underlying theory” (taketheleap.com). Thomas Kuhn in 1962 describes Paradigm shift as when new knowledge replaces old knowledge (www.taketheleap.com) In technology there has been a definite paradigm shift. Globally we use technology in our daily lives. The Paradigm shift in technology began at the creation of the PC, following internet. Technology impacts our personal, business, education and recreation. (www.taketheleap.com) Just think of the baby boomers and older adults. They have had to adjust to a huge paradigm shift in technology throughout their life time. Going from only having access to radio, to black and white TV, to Colored TV, now HD and 3D. To function in society it is almost impossible to do without some sort of technological device. Whether it be a tablet, laptop, PC or smartphone, we need them in our daily lives. This can be frustrating to the baby boomers. They have had to completely change the way they are able to get through their daily lives, banking, paying bills, email, social network media. To some it makes sense it is easier, everything is at your fingertips. Our children on the other hand have no idea what it is like not to have technology. When our children begin school and they are used to learning programs on computers, phones and tablets, now have to use a pencil and paper to apply their...

...Contact is a great movie, hitting multiple levels of suspense, action, politics, and intelligence. It deals with the struggles of Astronomer Dr. Ellie Arroway, who was able to make contact with an alien intelligence near the star Vega. After contact was made, her vindication of the find is short lived when people including the government, Dr. Drumlin (her supervisor), and many others rush in to take control and validate the find. However, it is discovered that the alien’s want us to build a machine that would enable a person to travel to them, which would eventually put the entire world on edge. One connection that immediately popped into my head is the idea of a paradigm. A paradigm “refers to a set of tacit assumptions and beliefs within which research goes on (Google definitions).” In Bucchi’s chapter regarding “Paradigms and Styles of Thought,” he states “According to Kuhn, science does not advance smoothly along a linear path and by gradual approximations to the truth; rather it is characterized by abrupt ‘leaps’ and profound ‘discontinuities’ (Bucchi, 26).” This idea can very much be applied to the film Contact, as it connects with it on so many levels. In the film, society once believed that there was a supreme existence (God), and that humans were the...

...faced to “revolutionary change” as paradigm shift. He describe it as a borderline or limitation we have set to our norm that affects how we view new ideas or change in the workplace or invention. He mentioned that great scientists and inventors of the past misread the sign of new ideas, because their old paradigm (system of rules that set limits on new ideas) could not reimagine the possibility of that idea to come true with the known resources. Barker express that one have to be able to look beyond their present paradigm to see what changes could occurs in society. People such as Einstein, Darwin and Copernicus (the Earth revolves around the Sun and not the other way around) saw adjusted to the new paradigm. 2. I believe this video is an exact example of the struggles managers of various levels and skills face today and of previous times. When in a managerial position, one is expected to be a team player than Mr. /Miss Do It Yourself (DIY). According to the textbook, one of the major challenges managers face especially new managers is changing from their old paradigm role to the new paradigm role they play in the company. One specific struggle is going from a personal identity (as the textbook described) to general specialist. Before the managerial position, you’ll be an independent entity, you having the feeling that you are capable of doing every task alone with minimal dependency on others (co-workers or supervisors). However, this paradigm normally does not make a successful...

...| When paradigm shifts take place, we see things from a different perspective as we focus on different aspects within our lives. In regards to the work environment, shifting paradigms can directly impact the quality of the products and services. I used to believe that a successful management system breeds a consistent result. However, working for a huge company like AT&T, shifts in management styles can oftentimes yield varying results. AT&T has a reputation of being ahead of the game in regards to technology and the wave of the future. So one would think that “working on the inside” of the business I would be on top of the leading technology. I can heartily say “NOT” due to economic changes that AT&T has endured over the 16+ years that I have been employed by them. The first critical aspect of paradigm shift in an organization is making changes to the culture. When I first started working for AT&T I came into a business that was essentially operated solely by the service of humans. Automation was not quite as intricate as it is today so placing a long distance, calling card or collect call required the aid of a human operator to complete. The culture at the time was people oriented and employees really took the time to service customers and oftentimes put their heart and soul into making the business successful by developing initiatives that were filtered from bottom up. Suggestions and process improvement was encouraged directly from the employees that answered...

...Paradigm Shifts A paradigm shift is a shift in world view which occurs whenever there is a period of stagnation and presents a radical new idea, such as the transition from steam to combustion engines. If paradigm shifts occur at an exponential rate, change approaches infinite, and is expected to reach a singularity where after that point; nothing can be known which NASA has categorized it as an impending event, estimated for 2035. As paradigm shifts occur exponentially, so will the symptoms of the Dark Age be exacerbated including the five beneficent pillars. The meanings of words exponentially vary causing lexical complexity to decay along with the ability to discern reality until it is virtual due to semantic shifts. The severity of higher education may soon become nil as nanotechnology will allow scanning of the brain thus, all thoughts, memories and knowledge can be transferred, recreated or stored for another human. Science and technology won’t help us master reality but instead further enslave the population due to greater dependences on things like nanotechnology to fight disease. Since that is power, governments will ignore needs and possibilities to focus on the prior, and no opposition will exist as semantic shifts further confuse population and government between mechanism and purpose. Finally, the individual must constantly adapt to growing environments due to paradigm shifts, and therefore causes greater inauthenticity which leads to greater ironic detachment. Thus...

...give a reaction in a week so I looked for a summary of the book, instead. And there were a lot done by different people/organizations. From the various summaries I read, I found the book interesting because it was not a conventional science book. Yes, it talked a lot about science but the paradigm shift that Kuhn wrote about got my interest. The ‘scientific revolutions’ were true and believable and somehow, I agree with them. Science, or normal science as Thomas Kuhn put it, is the process of gathering facts to build hypotheses that explain different phenomena in the world. It is a ‘research firmly based upon one or more past scientific achievements, achievements that some particular community acknowledges for a time as supplying the foundation for its further practice.’ And this is the science that almost everybody knows. This is the science I know. I couldn’t care less what those new achievements are. I just watch the Discovery Channel and surf the internet and they would tell me what is new and how things happen in just one click. In this book, I could almost feel how scientists burn their time for research, proving theories and the like. How happy they must be once their research is successful and becomes basis for explaining how things work. Some even...

...DARE TO DISRUPT!! DARE TO DISRUPT!! Theme: Means to tackle disruptive innovation Name: Prasun Kumar Das PGPM Participant, Batch 1114 Information Management S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research Mobile - +91 7506793925 DISRUPTION – The New Age Competitive Strategy Everything is fair in love and war; and competition in a business environment is like a cold war. Innovation has always been the major strategy used by businesses around the world to stay competitive. The traditional paradigm of innovation was to improve the performance of the existing technology, thereby steeping up the performance trajectory. However, value creation for customers may be much simpler than high performing technology. There is always a threshold level till which customers can absorb and appreciate which the traditional paradigm fails to address. This has lead to a gradual shift in paradigm, over the last five decades, from a continuous performance improvement to that of something called ‘Disruption’. Clayton Christensen coined this term and today it has become a big buzzword. He identified ‘Disruptive Innovation’ as a product or service, so compelling in nature that everyone rapidly abandons their current way of doing things to this new approach. IT has been the big enabler of this disruption. The fundamental aspect of disruption is to use the right benchmark, which becomes additive with time. When that happens, we find entire product lines – even the whole market...

...E-governance: Dream of the nation M. Shoeb Chowdhury Globalisation is the process of increasing connectivity and interdependence of the world's markets and businesses. In the last three decades, two driving forces -- advances in telecommunications infrastructure and the rise of the information technology, and its rapid productivity growth in the global economy -- played a key role in accelerating the pace of internationalisation. Information Technology (IT) dramatically changed traditional business and working patterns in the 1990s. Companies are now redistributing their businesses and jobs around the world. We know that Electronic Governance (popularly referred to as e-governance) is one of the most significant tools for shaping business and economics today. According to The Economist's print edition, February 14, 2008: "Countries like India may leapfrog the rich world. As it becomes clear that getting entrenched rich-country bureaucracies to move towards e-government will be slow and difficult, hopes are turning to poorer countries. Not that their bureaucracies are intrinsically more promising. Even under British colonial rule, Mahatma Gandhi was a severe critic of Indian officialdom. His words of advice are displayed in public offices all over India: "Who is a customer? The customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our...

...Personal Exploration of Knowledge Darchelle Mitchell University of Phoenix Personal Exploration of Knowledge What is epistemology? Simply put, it is the science or study of knowledge. It is curious that often human beings do not question the origin of knowledge, especially concerning common-sense beliefs and practices, taking on the notion that having been there always, it is tested, established, and proven to be true over practice. If knowledge is socially created and structured by man, it will also be subject to the flaws and fallibility and human thought. Epistemology addresses this by asking questions like - how is knowledge acquired and established, how do we know what we know, what is knowledge? These are basic and intriguing questions about knowledge that is not often addressed by us human beings when confronted with new or ordinary ideas and knowledge systems. They are important to ask however simply because human society's bedrock is knowledge; we live our lives influenced by systems of knowledge that control our ways of thinking, doing, and living from our simplest to most complicated tasks. Epistemology To truly understand epistemology as the philosophy and science of knowledge, it is important to understand what knowledge means. Knowledge is the knowing and familiarity of a skill, a person, an event, of facts, of descriptions, of abstract concepts. Acquiring knowledge...
