Abstract:

Many successful professionals, recognized for their experience, knowledge, competence and commitment to their field, experience a contradiction when they realize that their contributions are no longer valued by decision-makers in their organizations. Professionals, regardless of gender, position, education, race or profession, who experience workplace devaluation agree that this experience devalues their contributions and demeans their sense of self. This study illuminates the professionals' perspective of workplace devaluation through their experience. Within the framework of grounded the

Abstract:

This research explored the factors that influence whether Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), who support the learning of pupils with very complex learning needs, are equipped with the necessary skills to help these students learn. A significant feature in the delivery of educational support to pupils with low incidence needs is that it is LSAs who provide the majority of educational instruction and, furthermore, these paraeducators work with only limited supervision from class teachers. It therefore follows that if high quality educational assistance is to be available to pupils, then those u

The results highlight to designers, facilitators, and learners of blended workplace learning programs, the importance of considering a range of factors and particularly building in human interaction for a successful program.

In order to address these dimensions, a new learning transfer model was developed, drawing on classical and sociocultural perspectives on transfer. The participants were

There are various definitions of e-readiness, like the ones mentioned by Budhiraja and Sachdeva (2005:4) and the APEC Readiness Initiative (2005:1), most of which refer to readiness in the larger sense, namely of countries' readiness for electronic media use.
