Learning is defined as a social phenomenon that is facilitated by various tools and has the purpose of sharing and acquisition of information and knowledge (Keskitalo, Pyykkö, and Ruokamo 17). Even though the meaning of teaching as a concept assumes that it is a positive process, and it does not exist without a positive result such as learning (if there is no learning, there is no teaching), sometimes a teacher’s activity remains without a response from the students. That way, learning, and teaching are active processes and require the contribution of their facilitators. The activity of a teacher alone does not lead to learning, but the activity of the learner combined with that of the teacher does. Mayer describes three main learning scenarios – no learning, rote learning, and meaningful learning (226). No learning occurs when a learner briefly scans the new subject but fails to memorize the main concepts of it, cannot comprehend its major points, or use it to solve a problem. Rote learning occurs when a learner comprehends the theory and can answer questions related to the material they just read. Meaningful learning appears when a learner does not only understand the concepts but also can use them in practice to solve problems. To demonstrate the concept of meaningful learning one may use the following example. Two students do a leadership course at a college. They take a test, and it shows that all of them are familiar with the main leadership theories, concepts, and strategies. Further, the students are asked to participate in group work with other learners and accomplish various projects. One of the students collaborates with the others but mainly does the world on their own making a decent contribution to the group work. The other student applies his leadership knowledge to organize the other members of the group and facilitate more efficient collaboration as a leader. This way, the learner applies the theoretical knowledge in practice to find a solution to a problem – the ineffective work of the group. The example described above shows how meaningful learning is connected to learning transfer as it demonstrates the learner’s ability to transfer the information obtained from a textbook to a real-life situation. That way, instead of just being able to define and explain the leadership concepts, the student is able to act as a leader and benefit from the information they learned. The learning can be transferred even further and be taken outside of the school environment when the learner applies the new knowledge while playing team sports or taking over a leadership role in their family when there is a difficult situation that requires a strong leader. That way, meaningful learning can be is described as the learner’s choice “conscientiously to integrate new knowledge to knowledge that the learner already possesses” (Novak 549). The process of learning transfer is included in this definition as the transition of knowledge occurs right at t
Introduction The debate on global warming is turning out to be controversial with one side dismissing it as a creation of dishonest scientists and the other dismissing the other as behaving like the proverbial ostrich that buried its head in sand thinking that it was safe only to receive a stinging bite on its uncovered nether from the hyena. The Impetus for Global Warming Regardless of the side that has the truth, it is very important to treat the issue of global warming with utmost attention given the potential it has for causing misery on the planet. Whether it is already here with us or it will be here fifty to one hundred years from now, the increased temperatures that come with global warming, as well as the increased precipitation that in turn lead to increased sea levels, are not something that will change earthly life for the better. It is for this reason that global warming needs to be investigated in an organized manner and the evidence evaluated to determine what we are facing. In this brief essay, I will attempt to convey the issues raised by the two opposing sides regarding global warming. The evidence availed by those who claim that it is already here with us will be presented as well as the rebuttals of those who oppose that po
There are some differences between a male and a female brain. Females are known to be excellent in solving problems involving languages. On the other hand, males are fair well in tasks involving arithmetic analysis. These are just some of the differences between a boy and a girl. Sometimes these differences, whether knowingly or not, can result in discrimination when teaching (Ratey, 2008). There are various ways a teacher can overcome these differences. For example during a physical education lesson, boys would generally perform better than girls. Therefore, the teacher must be careful not to protect the girls, since the objective of the lesson might not be met. In a language lesson, girls would generally perform better than boys. In this case, the teacher should give group assignments, so that they can learn from each other. Both boys and girls should be in each group (Ratey, 2008). Physical movement increases a child’s performance in subjects like mathematics, science and languages. Other benefits that come from physical movement include improved reading skills, positive attitude towards education and improved intelligence. Other than academic benefits, exercise strengthens muscles as well as some vital parts of the brain such as cerebellum and basal ganglia. Physical movement assist in the circulation of oxygen to the brain, thus enhancing development of neurons (Ratey, 2008). Throughout America, many schools have reduced hours and resources allocated to physical education. This is because, some schools have the notion that students would be better prepared, if they dedicate most of their time in the curriculum. In other schools, importance of physical education has not been well emphasized. Instead, a lot of attention has been given to major sports such as football a
I have always wondered how people will manage natural resources if the population continues to rise further. Overpopulation is a usual topic because of its strong influence on the contemporary world. It is necessary to find the ways to solve future problems as the situation is likely to worsen over time. This essay will examine potential solutions for the issue and explain the possible problems of overpopulation, which cause my concern. Reasons for Concerns An increased population leads to greater natural resources use. Some areas are known for high fertility rates, which can be explained by a low technical development level and education. Newton (2016) states that “among the legal immigrants from Asia, the nationality that grew the fastest between 2000 and 2010 was Indians (an increase in population growth of 68%)” (p. 53). To characterize how humans affect the environment, it is worth mentioning that having one child results in about 23,700–117,700 kg reduced carbon dioxide output per year (Davis et al., 2019). In certain areas, the population growth is not controllable, and the environment may not withstand the humans’ presence. Possible Solutions To stabilize the situation, people should accept the methods of overpopulation management. According to Newton (2016) “the optimum population of an area is the largest population with a reasonably satisfactory lifestyle the area can sustain” (p. 59). It is possible to establish specific planning of family size in areas where governments detect such necessity. In addition, according to Davis et al. (2019), “Canadian undergraduates are principally concerned about the consequences of environmental dissolution because of the impact that it may have” (p. 98). The mentioned quotes prove that it is possible to correct people’s thinking about overpopulation and manage the future situation. Conclusion To conclude, I assume that overpopulation is a close danger that can make the general quality of life throughout the world worse. Some areas have a poor education system, which leads to high fertility rates. Carbon dioxide output grows with every born human, and it creates more pressure on the environment. People should stick to the optimum area populations, correct family sizes, and improve the knowledge about overpopulation to manage the issue.
Managing change Setting The Standard This company is a quality service oriented organization. To achieve its specific objectives, benchmark follows these simple steps;   * Organizing the team;   * analyzing the situation of the market;   * strategize on how to reach the destination;   * align, adjust through delegation, training so as to reach to the set goals.   * rovide the best available health care personnel in the home and health care sector. These activities go simultaneously, to help the organization realize its mission. Strategic Processes and planning Planning is one of the core functions of a manager. It involves the organisation of various parts of an organisation towards common goals and objectives. The planning process starts from the management, only to be implemented by line workers. Through the use of strategic planning, companies are able to meet their goal of profit maximisation. Through this, the broader perspective of the organisation is spelled out to the employees. They clearly understand their role in the organisation. Through well understood roles and functions, employees are motivated to excel. The relationship between employees and customers is reengineered. The major function of strategic management in Benchmark Care Company is to mix various functional branches of an organisation fully and ensure they are harmonised. Well harmonised departments correlate to produce efficiency and effectiveness. Through strategic management, the progress of the organisation is kept under watch. The realisation of goals and objectives is clearly marketed and monitored through strategic management. Financial planning forms one of the major pillars in an organisation. Financial capability determines the initial propelling of an organisation. These financial factors fall within the equity base of an organisation. Well managed and planned equities lead to profitability and wealth creation. The financial manager is endowed to manage the funds provided it maximises profits and increases their wealth. Through the use of these tools, competitiveness within the global market gets hot. Managements should emulate and apply the use of strategic management and planning in the daily management of organisation activities. Achievement of various objectives of the organisation starts with a path and guidelines on the direction to take. Therefore, strategic planning and management should be used prior to creating a successful organisation (Womack & Jones, 1996).
The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 or The Dodd-Frank Act (DFA, the Act) was enacted on July 21, 2010, is positioned as the response of the government to the 2007 financial crisis (Nwogugu 520). Its objectives included reducing the threats and impacts of the crisis, protecting consumer rights, and promoting the financial market transparency. The DFA was labeled as an attempt to “realign conflicting interests” which was reflected in defining the groups of actors within the market (for example, the group of banks, that of insurers) and providing regulators and regulations for them (Smith and Muniz-Fraticelli 619). Specifically, the DFA presupposed the creation of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a body intended to monitor economic risks, and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, an agency meant to protect consumer rights (Paletta and Lucchetti par. 7; Nwogugu 526). At the same time, the Act was designed to keep the general regulatory system more or less unchanged (Paletta and Lucchetti par. 17). Apart from that, to predict possible situations and be flexible, the Act suggests emergency plans and methods of eliminating dangerous actions. (Smith and Muniz-Fraticelli 623). The DFA was expected to “reduce systemic risk, increase the transparency of the financial markets, and promote market integrity” (Forrester and Astolfi 14). However, its efficiency has been questioned since the year of its inaction. Initially, the Democrats appeared to be rather appreciative and hopeful about the possible outcomes of the Act, especially pointing out the crisis-resistance and customer protection opportunities of the legislation. At the same time, Republicans pointed out the increasing federal government power suggested by the Act and found it unsettling (Paletta and Lucchetti par. 6-9). The outcomes of the DFA appear to have left the economists disappointed. It was criticized, labeled as inefficient, and “inadequate as a response to the global financial crisis” (Nwogugu 520). The reasons for that are numerous. So far, while no significant economic growth has been attributed to the DFA by the scholars, they keep pointing out the fact that the Act results in the rising costs of doing business (Forrester and Astolfi 15; Nwogugu 520; Prasch 549-555; Smith and Muniz-Fraticelli 623). Apart from that, it appears that the DFA did not live up to the expectations. Nwogugu points out many issues that the DFA has not addressed, for example, that of bank liquidity or the antitrust regulation weaknesses (524-532). Besides, several issues have been attended by the Act, but the results have not been enough to satisfy reviewers. For instance, according to Nwogugu, the regulation of insurance and reinsurance companies suggested by the DFA is not sufficient (526). Similarly, the DFA was expected to raise the market discipline. The success achieved in this field was only partial as for particular firms (especially the too-big-to-fail ones) the discipline appears to have decreased instead (Balasubr
The general purpose of the research study is to determine whether or not archery and fencing should be included in the youth’s sports program. Creswell (2007) is of the opinion that research questions and hypotheses are employed in a study to shape and specifically focus the general objective of the study through the use of cause and effect questions as well as predictions that a particular researcher may hold about the relationship or association among variables. As such, the research questions were created based on what the two sports (archery and fencing) can contribute towards the attainment of the mission set by the youth’s sports program Many youth sports programs, according to Berlin et al (2007), use sports to provide the “…youth with opportunities to play, learn, and grow, inspiring them to recognize their potential and realize their dreams” (p. 85-86). Youth sports programs, more than anything else, should ideally assist the youth to develop character, respect for society, inspire values, and nurture positive self image through reinforced behavior change (Beedy, 2007). Youth sports programs should also serve a basic role of developing the youth’s physical health and wellbeing, psycho-social enhancement, and the attainment of desired motor skills (Fraser-Thomas & Cote, 2006). As such, any sporting
Hadoop and its Operations Hadoop is an open-source platform commonly used for the storage and processing of big data. It is an approach that enhances the efficiency scale in analyzing massive datasets across different connected computers. Although a single computer can process big data based on schematics, networking improves productivity in processing information from dynamic sectors. Hadoop is a technological tool essential in the modern world due to the increasing gathering and processing of big data (Data Flair, 2022). Different institutions use the dataset for dynamic purposes, such as analyzing the behavioral indicator during the purchasing process. Therefore, it is the responsibility of executive teams to establish critical frameworks that enhance the derivation of in-depth details concerning the distinctive variables. The lack of clarity fosters subjective decision-making that results in bias due to inadequate knowledge of vital topical issues. Significance of Big Data Management Different organizations participate in the extensive data analysis due to the outcome concerning the derived apt insights on emerging trends in an industry. Over the decades, a significant percentage of the population incorporated systems across distinct sectors, such as healthcare and law-and-order practices. In this case, it is easier for a person to use big data to analyze a particular conceptual framework. Therefore, dataset management plays a crucial role in advocating for understanding consumer behavior and pattern. In a different spectrum, the processing of the quotient is an empowerment tool for artificial intelligence systems (Rowe, 2016). As a result, it is the responsibility of distinct stakeholders to exploit the massive dataset to enhance companies’ competitive advantage in marketing. Primarily, corporates invest in data analytics to attain vital information regarding their clients and the evolutionary trends. Notably, the executive team develops marketing strategies and product diversification features based on the preferential baseline. Hadoop’s Big Data Management Security Hadoop technology is a secure way to manage data due to the significant intersection of adept coding and storage structures. It is essential to distribute the big data processing across different computer mainframes to reduce the risk of overloading one computer. In this case, networking also fosters gathering specific information from various sectors and processing crucial details (Data Flair, 2022). An excellent example is t
Pedophilia is described as the act of an adult or a late adolescent (16 years and older) having asexual orientation towards children (14years and below); normally a child who is five years younger than them. Production and selling of child pornography is also considered as pedophilic behavior. The individuals who practice these acts are known as pedophiles. Though pedophilia is listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) as a mental illness, many scientists beg to differ and campaign for its removal. Many debates have arisen from a number of individuals either in support of pedophilia being in the DSM while others argue vehemently against its inclusion in the DSM like Dr. Richard Green a psychiatrist in the Charing Cross Hospital, London who is an dedicated campaigner against pedophilia being categorized as a mental disorder (Ahlers et al. 2007). Across many cultures in the world, pedophilia is not considered to be morally wrong. Actually it is encouraged and praised like the Siwans in North Africa consider anal intercourse between men and boys as being an integral part of their living. It is such an important part of their culture that those who don’t practice it are frowned upon in the society. The Aborigines of Central Australia give another example. There, it is allowed for a grown up man who is not yet married to live with a minor (twelve years or below) for the time of his bachelorhood till he gets married. It was seen that sexual relationship between a minor and an adult was beneficial to the child rather than the adult (Ben-Aron, Hucker, & Webster, 2003). Dr. Richard Green argues that general personality features and psychopathology studies are influenced and hampered by sampling bias. He further argues that most of the candidates chosen for research studies are mostly incarcerated individuals and insists that this is not a credible sample of all the pedophiles. This is supported by Finkelhor et al. (1986) when he wrote “ [They are] a small fraction of all offenders, the most flagrant and repetitive in offending, most socially disadvantaged, and least able to persuade criminal justice authorities to let them off ” (p. 34). The difference between the incarcerated pedophiles and the non sexual deviant psychiatric patients is very minimal according to the Psychopathic Deviate Scale. Anxiety disorder and mood swings were also found in about two thirds of the non-incarcerated pedophiles. According to these researches, it is safe to say that pedophiles are generally introverted and hence most of the studies on psychosis and neurosis carried out tend to show their levels as slightly elevated but not to a clinically abnormal. Studies on non-pedophiles have also been carried out where 80 “normal” individuals were studied and questioned about their sexual orientations. They showed that over 25% showed some pedophilic interest when shown pict
Introduction With the rapid change in the digital economy observed in the last century specifically in the last decade, the future only looks brighter for this area. The last decade has seen various developments in the way people keep in touch. This move has mainly brought into shape what is popularly regarded as social media. These changes raise questions of where the social media will be in the next decade of 2020. The essay seeks to find out the changes in the social media in the last decade, and the future of this industry. Changes in social media The information and communication industry has changed over the last decade with advances and revolution in the way people interact. Some of the most significant achievements in the social media include Skype, email, social networks such as Facebook, and short message texting over mobile devices. All these have the combined effect of making the world a global village in the year 2020 linking people previously separated by physical and political boundaries. The last five years alone have seen the multiplication of people engaged in social networks with new sites being developed almost annually (Donath, & Boyd, 2004, p. 72). There is a high possibility of introducing more options in 2020 for social media like Facebook and Skype. For instance, Facebook might introduce a way of attaching documents besides the usual typing of information in the available space. People might even be able to carry out transactions through Facebook in the year 2020. Email Through email messaging, businesses have recruited employees, awarded tenders, and distributed crucial information on their company. In the last decade, emailing has emerged as the most preferred method of communication over the internet with official information being accessed through it. The speed at which information can be shared through email with great accuracy has made it an official tool of communication in many government agencies (Haythornthwaite, 2005, p.127). The method has proved relatively cheaper, faster, and more reliable for individuals and companies to communicate and transact especially in business. With the introduction of various websites offering email services, the users are spoilt for choice. Competition has led to improvements in the quality of services offered by the various service providers besides creating an affordable means of communication (Haythornthwaite, 2005, p.127). In 2020, a combination of the social networks and emailing services will enable personalized communication besides improving security for their users. Social Networks The production of the internet-enabled mobile phones and handheld internet devices has accelerated the development of many social sites in the last decade. Examples of these sites include Facebook, HI 5, and tweeter among others. These tool
