Unilateral Control Model Essay

Decent Essays
1. What were the gaps, if any, between what you were trying to accomplish and what actually happened?

First, you had all the rights to feel confused and annoyed. I would’ve felt the same exact way. They were rude to your daughter; this first interaction could harm your child’s future interactions with new teachers. She is going to feel afraid every time she is starting a new semester (that used to happen to me, I hated first days at school). Your reaction was understandable in my case I would have run to the principal, but then could create a problem where the teachers might feel some type of way about you and your daughter for not bringing the concern to the first.

The gaps: I think the situation could have gone a little smoother if you

The people are supposed to be her rock while you are not around. The ones that would teach her what’s right or wrong during the hours she is with them. They are not supposed to be rude to children.
3. What types of interaction skills were used to design the situation (from Unilateral Control Model, the Mutual Learning Model)?
***I do not understand this question. If it is related to the interactions within your case, I would say it was a unilateral control model. They failed to acknowledge for whatever reason they had, and then control the situation by finally giving some or little acknowledgment. You control the situation by keeping it cool and maintaining a calm reaction.

4. What assumptions were you making about the other person(s) or the situation that may have influenced the interaction?
You probably assume they could not careless, and that maybe they were pretending to be busy while ignoring your child. However, what about if they were really “busy”. Not greeting their student does not mean that they do not care any enough, maybe that’s how they interact with their students and it works for them. (I still think their attitude was wrong, and I would have address it with them at a later

    Last Spring, I had a student who was in the final semester of his senior year and was oppositional and rude in class.

I would politely accept these corrections, but was annoyed by his negative attitude. When he refused to participated with classmates during an experiment, I asked him to stay after and speak with me.…

    Absent Student Procedure

    The procedure that I implemented affects whole class student learning because I am able to more efficiently use my time. Instead of taking time out of my day to get the Absent Folder, find all of the work that belongs in the folder, and place it on the student’s desk, I can spend time teaching students. Since all of the absent student’s work is in one place, when the student returns, he is able to look through the work and ask questions when I am free, thus freeing up my time to spend teaching the whole class. The responsible student’s job was understood by the students and they were also excited to have this new duty of taking care of the absent student. I feel that this procedure gives the students some responsibility which also builds their confidence and their feeling of being a part of the class community.…

    System identification is a branch of systems theory that characterizes behavior of a system through its interactions with the environment described as inputs and outputs. The relationship between the input and the output can be quantitatively described in form of a mathematical model. This description could be outlined through a parametric model which uses a group of parameters usually incorporated in a few differential equations governing the physics of the system or a non-parametric model through measurements of the system at a large number of points [35]. Parametric approach often requires an in depth knowledge of the system and uses more assumptions in modeling. Because of this, parametric system identification may result in unreliable prediction for complex systems where our understanding of the physics of the system is insufficient.…

    Secondary Control Essay

    Primary control results when employees with individualistic tendencies (see Bellah et al., 1987) attempt to shape the social and behavioral factors surrounding them, including co-workers and particular events, with the aim of increasing their rewards. Thus, many members of the organization demonstrate behaviors and establish goals that may be incongruent with those desired by the organization. For these reasons, formal control systems made up of rules, standards, and norms of behavior are created to guide, motivate, and evaluate employees' behavioral performance (Ouchi, 1977). Weisz et al. (1984) have characterized Japanese organizations as relying on secondary (informal) control.…
