Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities

/in /by

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:

Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.

Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.

Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).

Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.

Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750-1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.

Describe how the job description might be different today from those needed in the recent past

/in /by

Human beings undergo a natural life cycle from birth to death, passing through several stages along the way. Organizations might view human resource activities as a similar cycle from the initial hiring to the eventual termination of employment for various reasons such as promotion or transfer. Public health administrators are often involved in this human resources cycle, from workforce planning, job analysis, recruitment and selection, on-boarding, training and development, and coaching and performance appraisal. One of the most critical tasks in this cycle is recruiting and selecting individuals for public health positions who have the right skills and qualities for the position. In addition, it is important that these skills and qualities remain current as the organization and requirements change.
Although each organization and position will have unique requirements, public health administrators can become familiar with best practices in human resources. In the Learning Resources, The Public Health Foundation (n.d.-a) provides insights on public health job descriptions based on Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals, for example. Such best practices will help public health leaders create job descriptions aimed at attracting the most potentially successful candidates for the positions. Human resources professionals may revise job descriptions for existing staff to keep the organization current, as well.
For this week’s Assignment, review the Learning Resources, including the media titled Recruitment, Selection, and Retention. Consider what the individuals considered challenges in hiring and which best practices they follow in creating job descriptions. Then, read the following scenario. Browse through the various pages of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website, and read carefully through the section titled “Discrimination by Type.” Research online sources for typical salary ranges and similar job descriptions in the Midwest United States.
Scenario:
Imagine you are the Human Resources Director at Lake Troubled Shallows Health Department, from the Final Project scenario. A key employee, a community outreach coordinator, has left the position. The organization needs a new community outreach coordinator. You have been tasked with implementing best practices not only to fill the position but also to reevaluate and improve on the job description.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Section I
Create a new job description for a position in public health following best human resource management practices. The job description should include the following:
Essential job duties
Essential qualifications
An average salary range for this position
Recruitment and hiring strategies for this position
Related employment laws (e.g., civil rights, age discrimination)
Section II: Summary
Describe how the job description (including duties and qualifications) might be different today from those needed in the recent past (e.g., 5 years ago) and why. Describe which best practices in human resources management you followed when creating this job description and explain why you considered them to be best practices.

What predicts psychological ill-health and absenteeism in the workplace?

/in /by

In a systematic review you must research and integrate the findings of empirical studies in order to answer a specific question. Reviews such as this are often published in general psychology journals and are also useful to non-psychology professionals, so you should write in a way that any intelligent, professional reader could reasonably be expected to understand – no specialist jargon or unexplained abbreviations. Remember here that your marker is unlikely to be a specialist in the area of your review and will penalise you if you don’t explain yourself clearly.

A systematic review is different from a typical undergraduate essay or literature review at least five ways.

The format for a systematic literature review is more like a laboratory report than an essay, and includes an abstract. In broad terms, you should think of research articles as data and the literature search as collecting data.

The method section is a detailed account of the literature search, including databases and keywords used. So, if you want to get an early start on this before the relevant seminar, keep careful records and save everything you do.

The review gives a definitive answer to the research question because you have searched systematically rather than looking for articles that build towards a particular argument. An answer is expected and required – it is not sufficient to say that “findings were mixed and more research is needed”.

The review is aimed at being useful in a real-world setting; if you were asked to complete such a review in a real job or within a Masters placement in clinical, organisational, or another speciality in psychology, it would be because your boss wants an answer, not a prevarication.

Many systematic literature reviews are also quantitative. Such meta-analyses involve statistically combining the findings from the studies reviewed. This is NOT required for the current assignment.

Your task is to conduct a systematic literature review and to write a report on it. Your report should contain STRICTLY no more than 2500 words of text plus one table. Words of text include the review itself, citations, and headings, but exclude the title, the abstract, the reference list, and the table. In your report you must ask and answer a question. The key to this task is to select a question to which there is a definite answer, and which is narrowly defined so that you can answer it within the word limit. You must provide a full list of references. Use the sixth edition of the APA Manual to format for citations and for references the review.

Your final review, around a dozen papers will suffice and is probably about right.

1. Your research question is “What predicts psychological ill-health and/or absenteeism in the workplace?”
INTRODUCTION
– Much of this research is undertaken on health-care workers or teachers – you should probably focus on one group of workers only, and on a particular type of ill-health (for example stress or burnout or depression).

Identify the published review paper (Michie and Williams, 2003, which covered papers till 1999), and then write your review as an update, covering papers from 2000 onward.

METHODS
Electronic filtering using the database
– Peer-reviewed,
– English language,
– Date,
– Population
– Some aspects of methodology were then used on 2 databases searched: PsychINFO (limits were used to articles published from 2000 onwards), using the search string((SU.exact(“STRESS”) OR ORG.exact(“STRESS”)) AND SU.exact(“OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH”)) which yielded 40 results and PMC (2000 to 2016) using the search string “What predicts psychological ill-health and absenteeism in the workplace?”. The abstracts were then vetted for further exclusion. Duplicate publishing – check for multiple reports of the same data (usually by the same authors so easy to detect)
Each sample/finding should be represented only once
DISCUSS THIS EXPLICITLY

TABLE (SHOULD BE APA FORMATTED)
The table should include the following:
– Study identifier (name, date in short form, e.g. Michie et al. 2003)
– Rows are in alphabetical order by first author
– Participants (n, gender, age, response rate, occupation)
– Design (e.g. wait-list control vs placebo control or cross-sectional vs longitudinal)
– Predictor/IV/intervention
– Outcome/DV
– Results/findings

DISCUSSION
Discuss your findings from the evidence gathered. Limitations can encompass: Many studies measured multiple outcomes
Although all reported positive changes, there may be type I error.
Student self-reports were more likely to change than other outcome measures.
Was this particularly true for studies without active control?
Variable delivery length and expertise
Group level effects and
Publication bias. Make a conclusion based on your findings.

ABSTRACT
not structured (i.e. with subheadings) although some examples do have such an abstract
word limit 150 words – not included in the overall word limit.

The final review and table must include at least six papers – more than 20 is not recommended, 10-12 is ideal. Although I have stipulated 20 references these can be from other sources that may or may not be included in the actual study.

Compare the U.S. Health Care System with Sweden

/in /by

Compare the U.S. Health Care System with Sweden: utilizing a specific, focused health topic to aid in the comparison. The paper should describe the model or models used, and compare financing, delivery systems and outcomes. The paper should describe costs, access and quality, and how values and ethics drive and/or impede, if any, the operation of their systems.
Format
Organize the research paper into the following sections:
1. Introduction – Introduce the comparison countrys health care system and outline the particular descriptions of the comparisons (1-2 pages).
2. Current research or data (from literature) on the topic – Should include a discussion of the findings presented in at least 3 articles selected from recent (within the last five years) peer-reviewed journals or scientific publications (you may, in addition, select news articles from periodicals) (2 pages).
3. Describe, compare and contrast the US health care system with Sweden. As you describe the most important aspects of each countrys system, be sure to give discrete examples, facts and statistics, impacts and/or outcomes to illustrate the similarities and the differences. Be sure to describe challenges that each system experiences, and detail efforts to address those challenges. Are there implications that can be drawn from this comparison that could lead to improvements for one or the other, or for both countries? (2 pages).
4. Include discussion throughout your paper any limitations of the research and comparisons presented in your paper.
5. References.
Follow APA format and include an abstract. Use a 12-point size Times New Roman font.

You have recently taken up a position as a public health practitioner or SCPHN in an area that has suffered from economic decline over the last 10 years. There are high levels of unemployment and the area is in need of regeneration. The public health team have conducted a Health Needs Assessment and the following health concerns have been identified: high smoking rates, low breast feeding rates, high levels of alcohol and substance abuse, high levels of obesity, high teenage pregnancy rates, high rates of sexually transmitted infections, high levels of mental health concerns and low levels of physical activity.
You have been asked to prioritise and target ONE of the above topics.
Working in partnership with local people and agencies, how would you support the local community to improve their health and wellbeing in relation to this priority and how will you ensure that any new initiatives are sustainable?
In a 6,000 word essay you should provide an in-depth critical analysis and evaluation of ways in which the module theory could be applied to practice, in order to plan and implement new initiatives, highlighting some of the potential challenges that could be faced and how these could be overcome.
