involving congruent triangles and angle properties, apply logical reasoning (including the use of congruence and similarity) to proofs and numerical problems involving plane shapes and prove and apply the angle and chord properties of circles (ACARA, 2014). These standards were monitored continuously through class discussions, formative assessment, challenge questions and quizzes and formally by the summative assessment at the end of the unit (5.1 - 5.5 AITSL, 2011). Assessment forms an integral part of both education and real life, assessment of understanding, peer feedback, and self-assessment form a central part of social processes and therefore mediate the development of intellectual abilities, construction of knowledge, and formation of a students ' identity (Shepard, 2000). Assessment of learning also provides a metacognitive awareness for the student and creates accountability for pedagogical strategies and curriculum policies. Metacognitive awareness does not necessarily require summative assessment. Therefore, throughout the unit diagnostic and formative assessment has been incorporated into the majority of lessons The summative assessment gives students the opportunity to demonstrate they have met the acara expectations (Standard 5 AITSL, 2011). The selection of questions covered, proofs involving congruent and similar triangles, the application of logical reasoning, using congruence and similarity, to deduce numerical values, and applying angle and chord…
The popular saying, “do as I say, not as I do“ means to follow someone’s words but not their actions. Normally this is said because their actions contradict their words. Cases such as smoking cardiologists, morbidly obese physical trainers, or law-breaking police officer are examples people saying one thing, but doing another. These types of juxtapositions strip confidence from the individual and the process. HTH states, congruence is the art of saying something, and doing what was said. So to…
The Importance of Alignment and Congruence The setting for the Southeast Team is the Tampa General Hospital (TGH) located in Tampa, Florida. This large urban acute care center boasts three-time magnet status and currently in the reaccreditation process for the fourth time. With the outward excellence in healthcare apparent, the organization continues to have lower than anticipated Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey scores from the Centers for…
In geometry, congruence means the figures have the same measure and shape. For a student to effectively discuss congruence they must first recognize the figure and its attributes. To achieve this, the learner must be able to differentiate one figure from another. To compare figures and establish that one is congruent to the other or not, the student pulls on an understanding of shapes. To prove congruence, the student makes connections with axioms, properties, analysis, and logic. The…
Character is considered to be one of the foundational values. Character takes the faith we have defined, and acts on it. Bill Millard defines character to be, “…Life Congruence—the moral and ethical quality of people demonstrated in the actions taken in life consistent with the faith they established for their lives” (53). Essentially, life congruence is living consistently through our actions with what we have established as the mind-set of our lives and of our faith (Millard 51-54). Many…
Tutorial 4 Research and practice: Congruence reconsidered This article (Tudor & Worral, 1994) review Carl Rogers' definitions of congruence, identifying four requirements for congruence such as self- awareness, self- awareness in action, communication and appropriateness and also explore the interface between congruence and the other conditions of therapeutic personality change. Rogers (1990a) describes six necessary conditions such as psychological contact, the state of the client,…
This is because consumers are increasingly looking for “reality and authenticity” in marketing promotions. However, the “ideal self” remains important and companies continue to create emotional connections with promotions that promote ideal beauty. This is because consumers like brands that represent an aspiration. (Malär et al, 2011). “Self-congruence” is central to brand attachment. Self-congruence is “a fit between the consumers’ self and the brand’s personality or image”. Brand personality…
Society can therefore be understood as a social hierarchy with a white population at the top and a negative black reference group at the bottom. Current social psychology models used to explain prejudice and discrimination are right-wing authoritarianism, frustration-aggression hypothesis and belief congruence. It will be argued that social dominace theory best explains racism between whites and African Americans in the United States of America due to the hierarchical social structure described.…
There was a study of the amount of motivation and human optimal functioning points that stated the benefits of pursuing a path that is related to the student’s personality, values, and interests were superb. Yet there are hardly any positive research on whether a college student who lack congruence in academic and career goals. “The present study confirms the theoretical importance of congruence and suggests that experiencing major incongruence is linked to worse career development in both the…
Another important difference between voluntary and involuntary clients is that involuntary clients often enter service with the assumption that the practitioner’s purpose is to tell them what to do in order to satisfy the requirements of the mandating agency (de Jong & Berg, 2001), even though the client may not share the same goals of the agency. Thus, many social work researchers write about the need to develop “motivational congruence” between practitioners and involuntary clients, commenting…
