Scientific management

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. It also involves the properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change. Chemistry is important to life. The environment is composed of many chemicals without identification of chemicals we wouldn’t know what chemicals are safe to have around or which chemicals are harmful and dangerous to our bodies. To answer the enduring question, how do we gain knowledge to…

There are “three types of measurement validation”: content, convergent/discriminant, and nomological/construct validation. Content Validation is preoccupied with the questions whether or not key elements are “omitted from the indicator” and whether or not “inappropriate elements are included in the indicator.” Although content validation is an “important contribution” to measurement validity, its chief limitation is that “alone it is incomplete, for two reasons”: “first, although a necessary…

For me, the comparison of these two important eras in literature is most profound in their treatment and the reflection through science and nature. The authors of the former were influenced by the industrial revolution and the great prosperity of the time. People were often related to nature. The latter was forced to wrestle with greater social conflict and, what was at the time, the war to end all wars. There lacked the volume in examples of nature as a theme but it did exist. Alfred, Lord…

utilize statistics in their everyday lives. Business lives and personal lives. I work in the healthcare field and during this class and my research, I have learned just how important it is for the hospitals and larger businesses. Researchers employ scientific methods to gather data on human population samples. The health care industry benefits from knowing consumer market characteristics such as age, sex, race, income and disabilities. These "demographic" statistics can predict the types of…

The next article that will be critically examined comes from an academic who focuses her work on qualitative research methodology in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology. Kathryn Roulston’s article titled Considering Quality in Qualitative Interviewing looks at how the quality of interviews conducted by people in the field affect the outcome of the work that follows the research process. As well, she also illustrates the flack that researchers receive sometimes from their…

Instruments The survey method are often used in a number of ways, they were usually used in health research. But through the years, the use of survey method are now applied by different types of studies. The survey method is generally refer to the selection of a fairly large population of participants, who happen to be a part of the ‘population of interest’. This ‘population of interest’ is a group in a population that fits the standards of the researchers. Next, would be…

Critical question: I wonder what happens when I try improving lesson pacing by first incorporating effective transitions and procedures in the classroom, second checking for student understanding, third using effective lesson planning, and fourth assuring that students are engaged? Contextual factors: I conducted this action research project in a Title I school, where I was an intern. I am at the school two days a week all day. The school I am at currently has 82.16% free and reduced lunch. The…

winner, English chemist, Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood, once said, “[Science is] an imaginative adventure of the mind seeking truth in a world of mystery.” Dr. Ashley Murray and Dr. Sarah Parcak, two scientists featured in National Geographic Education’s “Real-World Geography” segment, both fulfill Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood’s idea of science as they both work to improve the world by using imaginative solutions to solve real-world mysteries. Dr. Ashley Murray discovers the solution to use human…

Ignorance Is Not Bliss Knowledge is the characteristic people obtained through millennia of trial and error that has allowed humans to become the dominant species and control the Earth. People’s natural curiosity initiated science and technological movements in the early years of humankind's history that have given us new understandings and perspectives of the world. However, before humans had time to move their focus from basic survival to more intellectual endeavors, they were ignorant…

Part A: The Science of Persuasion The tutorials with the most useful information are the one written by Cialdini in his two tutorials, Cialdini 2012, Principles of persuasion, and Cialdini 2001, Harnessing the science of persuasion. The author asserts that influencing other people in any workplace is not through magic or luck; instead, it involves more of science (Cialdini 2001). Again, he was able to know that the abilities of individuals to identify and understand the factor affecting their…
