Transcript: *A questionnaire was created with the help of two different and well-known instruments (Job Diagnostic Survey and Relative Autonomy Index). *914 employees of different organizations received the survey and data collection was completed with 41% response rate 374 individuals in total. *Anderson, Madlock and Hoffman ,2006 connection between leaders behavior to group satisfaction *Pool,1997 leadership styles' connection with motivation *Zhang, 2010 examined the relationship of empowering leadership and the impact on intrinsic motivation and performance. Limited research on this very topic in the past 20 years. Hypotheses Method Previous Research * no socio-economic background information for the employees or political connection of the NGOs participated in the study. those two conditions may very much effect the leaders, hence the leadership style, associated with the organization and motivation of the employees in general. * a larger sample and maybe across different countries to see if it is the same case with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and its effect because this study only includes organizations across Lebanon ( oriental and patriachal society, there may be different results for western structure) Previous Research H1a: Not supported. Intrinsic motivation will be negatively associated with satisfaction with the supervisor. H1b: Supported. Extrinsic motivation will be positively associated with satisfaction with the supervisor. H2a: Not supported.An inverse relationship exists between Initiating Structure leader style and intrinsic motivation. H2b: Not supported.An inverse relationship exists between Consideration supervisor style and extrinsic motivation. The relationship between motivation and supervisor style on satisfaction. Hypotheses * Path-Goal theory, House, 1971- variables that moderate leader effectiveness *Kerr & Jermier, 1978- addition of variables such as task, subordinates, and the organization * Yukl ,1981 addition of intrinsic motivation as a variable * Childers, Dubinsky and Skinner, 1990 and Holdnak, Harsh and Bushardt ,1993 examined leader behavior style and job satisfaction In terms of real life applications, results can be very useful because it provides insight about the relationship of leadership style and motivation types of nonprofit organizations’ employees but determinants of the factors should be more clear. (outside eye ) Article is looking for an answer to... How employees’ point of view about the leadership style of their supervisor is a valid statement?(Objectivity and interpersonal affect on reliability) According to results extrinsically motivated employees seems more likely to rate their satisfaction with their supervisor higher than intrinsically motivated employees, which may raise questions about the reasons of these positive results (is it actually about the leader or overall fulfillment in the workplace) H3a: Not supported.Intrinsically motivated people with a Consideration style supervisor will rate supervisor satisfaction high. H3b: Not supported.Intrinsically motivated people with an Initiating Structure style supervisor will rate supervisor satisfaction low. H3c: Not supported. Extrinsically motivated people with a Consideration style supervisor will rate supervisor satisfaction low. H3d: Supported. Extrinsically motivated people with an Initiating Structure supervisor style will rate supervisor satisfaction high. are employees of nonprofit organizations motivated differently than those in for profit organizations? if nonprofits are different, how might the interaction of motivation, leadership and satisfaction differ in this environment? moderators of leader effectiveness on motivation in nonprofit organizations results indicate that * intrinsic motivation is one of the reasons people prefer to work for NGOs but those same employees might become disentranced with the help of their supervisors’ attitude overtime. * those motivated by extrinsic factors are more satisfied overall but this time a supervisor with initiating structure behavior may even raise the levels of satisfaction. * in both cases, components of this equation needs more definition to make more clear connections . Hypotheses * employee's’ position in the organization * length of employment period * type of pay received * gender were taken into account when interpreting the results Method Method NONPROFIT MOTIVATION BEHAVIOR AND SATISFACTION Robert W.

Transcript: Building and Sustaining Talent Creating Conditions in High-Poverty Schools That Support Effective Teaching and Learning Teacher Retention Critique by Mary Jean O'Malley EACS 5623: School and Staff Development March 28, 2013 Collaborative problem solving Sharing accountability for results Engagement to face successes and challenges Staff Cohesion Focus has been on improving teacher evaluation systems and using that information to improve teaching and learning 32 states have made changes to their performance evaluation systems recently 23 of those states require teacher evaluations to include reference to student learning Less attention on where weak teachers are placed, how they are supported at the expense of student learning What the article does well "...teacher satisfaction is more influenced by the culture of the school than by the demographics of the students in the school" Effective Teaching and Learning "Too often, a lack of attention to these factors in our highest poverty and lowest performing schools results in environments in which few educators would choose to stay. For too long, the high levels of staff dissatisfaction and turnover that characterize [high-poverty] schools have been erroneously attributed to their students. But research continues to demonstrate that students are not the problem." School Culture My Criticism "Our most vulnerable students are consistently and disproportionately saddled with the weakest teachers and seldom have access to what they deserve" (Almy &Tooley, 2012, Executive Summary) Argument Context Create a shared mission Focus on student achievement Commit to teacher learning, growth and development 70% of teachers feel satisfied with leadership feedback in schools with higher cultures compared to 35% in schools with poor school culture. Assumptions that high poverty schools or schools where the majority of students are non-white are lower-performing Focus on deficit language to discuss high poverty schools Lack of clarity as to what effective teaching and learning is - only 1-2 mentions of achievement or growth statistics Are the example districts really living happily ever after? Does not examine political context to show whether districts or states have the capacity to reform Article by: Sarah Almy and Melissa Tooley, The Education Trust (c) 2012 2012, p. 3-4 Gives state policy context to illustrate stepping stones and barriers states give to schools to support teachers Gives examples of multiple traditional public school districts that have successfully improved teacher quality and retention Provides list of actions that districts and states can take to help schools create better conditions for teaching and learning School Leadership

Transcript: Strengths/Usefulness of Findings ..... A multiple probe design across stimulus sets was employed. The order was: 1. Pre-training probes, 2. SPOP, 3. Post-training probes. Remedial SPOP was conducted if participants failed initial post-training probes for listener or tact relations. MET (multiple exemplar training, was implemented if participants failed to meet criterion. Met: Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, effective, conceptually systematic Did not fully meet: technological, generality. Stimulus Pairing Observation Procedure can help establish tact and listener relations for children that English is their second language. These findings can be useful because children can acquire novel verbal relations through naturalistic observations. Pre-training generalization probes ranged from 0% to 50% correct. After SPOP, participants met mastery criterion for both tact and listener relations on some sets. All participants showed an increase in responses. MET was implemented until the mastery criterion was achieved from the original sets. Scores ranged from: 75% to 100% for Myra, 25% to 75 % for Cecilia and 38% to 100% for Jason. The purpose of this research was to evaluate SPOP to facilitate tact and listener relations in preschool children learning a second language. Also, it was made to evaluate the utility of SPOP for teaching a small English vocabulary, for children who's first language is Spanish. Weakness and Limitations Research Examining the Utility of the Stimulus Pairing Observation Procedure with Preschool Children Learning a second Language. * A total of 3 children were selected for this study. * Sessions were conducted 4-5 times per week for 45-60 minutes per day. Dependent Variable: % of correct tact and listener responses during pre and posttraining probes in the absence of reinforcement. -The number of participants was too low. -The listener response levels were high in the pre-training test. - This procedure requires the participants to have some prerequisite skills (joint attention). By: Rocio Rosales, Ruth Anne Rehfeldt, and Nancy Huffman. FONTS RESULTS Article Critique Presentation By: Jennifer Lopez Methodology Conclusion SPOP can be helpful when teaching children generalization with stimulus pairing. My judgement about this study.... Future of this research can lead to a better use of SPOP to gain knowledge on how children acquire novel verbal relations through naturalistic observations.

Transcript: Presented by Ryane Cheatham EDUC:805 - Research Design & Qual. Research Dr. Yoon "Disrupting Ourselves: The Problem of Learning in Higher Education" Author: Randy Bass Article Critique Abstract Abstract/Purpose This journal analyzes the current teaching practices associated with the formal practices of higher education curriculum and it's learning modules. The author suggests that the formal curriculum does not provide structure conducive to the importance of experiential learning as it pertains to the Global Age. (Bass, 2012) Research Questions Research Questions Can we continue to operate under the assumption that formal curriculum is the center of the undergraduate experience? What is actually causing disruption in the formal curriculum? What are the high impact practices of learning for the undergraduate student if it is not formal curricula? How can formal curriculum and experiential curriculum integrate for the ideal instructional environment? Strategy Strategy & Data Analysis The type of study that was conducted was qualitative in nature. The author reviewed the journals and reports of 6 different studies to express his views on informal learning, participatory cultures associated with the internet, re-centering curriculum learning based on high impact undergraduate experience, and restructuring the use of faculty expertise as it interfaces with experiential learning (Bass, 2012) Data Analysis & Collection Data Collection & Analysis The author suggests that the formal curriculum is experiencing pressure from experiential learning and participatory culture of the global age. He believes that undergraduates are no longer receiving high impact learning experiences from the traditional classroom and curriculum. Rather, based on a 2008 National Survey of Student Engagement, student's participation in first year seminars, common intellectual sharing, learning communities, writing intensive courses, collaborative assignments and projects, undergraduate research experiences, study abroad programs, internships, and capstone projects have the greatest impact on the success, retention in a curriculum, and graduation rate of an undergraduate's academic experience. He determines that integration of such practices into an experiential curriculum module could be more conducive to the effectiveness of an undergraduate's academic experience. Team-Based Design E-Portfolios Online Participatory Culture (Bass, 2012) Summary Summary Co-Curriculum learning can act as an essential component of the traditional/ formal model that is currently utilized today. Full Sail University and the GPS System Critiques of the article: I am not sure the article presents enough quantitative data to completely negate the effectiveness of the traditional academic curriculum. However, I do believe it does present a compelling argument on the need for the integration of such high impact practices in the academic curriculum for the undergraduate experience. I also think the type of models associated with these higher impact practices can determine the relevancy and effectiveness of experiential learning in the undergraduate academic experience.

Transcript: The Rhetoric of Math by Daniel Helmes Article #1 The Rhetoric of Algorithms Math is not Neutral Article #1 What Are Algorithms Algorithms are continuous mathematical equations that can be used to collect data on large populations What are Algorithms How are They Used Algorithms are used by large companies and governments to learn about the public but they can only be accessed by those people Mitchell Reyes calls this idea of only certain people being able to access information like a Black Box How are They Used What Does This Mean This creates a barrier of information that only the powerful can pass through this creates a Rhetorical situation of inequality The public is denied information and large companies and governments can learn all they want What Does This Mean Article #2 The Rhetoric of Calculus math changes rhetoric in society Article #2 What is Calculus Calculus was created by Issac Newton and is how infinitesimals can be calculated It can be used to calculate large celestial bodies and forces of nature What is Calculus Why Does This Matter Why Does This Matter Before calculus nature was thought as some incredible force. Mitchel Reyes talks about how nature was thought of as something to be marveled at but not understood After calculus was invented seemingly unattainable un understandable infinite things in nature were now seen as things to be studied not just marveled at Article #3 The Rhetoric of Public Memory and Values Article #3 What is Public Memory the way a certain cultures remember past events based on the culture's values Example George Washington chopping down a cherry tree and telling the truth What is Public Memory Why is This Imporntant Why is This Important In the article Mitchell States, “for Halbwachs, was not an objective or disinterested tapestry of facts. Rather, the recollection of the past was always filtered through the frameworks of the present” So, public memory is altered by present cultural value system Conclusion Conclusion Mathematical ideas have rhetorical value Mathematical ideas do not have a neutral effect Mathematical ideas change the way society interprets certain things the way society chooses to remember past events is filtered through the lens of the present value system Thanks For Listening .
