Addressing Implementation Gaps for Hope Channel Network Strategic Plans
Get PDFThe Hope Channel Network (HCN), in its endeavor to accomplish its mission, has developed a network strategic plan as a roadmap to success. In a complex and dynamic business environment, a strategic plan helps an organization to determine its direction and focus the efforts of the staff toward achieving its goals. However, developing a roadmap does not guarantee that HCN will reach its destination. It is crucial that the strategies formulated in the strategic planning process are implemented to achieve the desired goals. The HCN strategic plan had established goals that have not yet been fully accomplished due to ineffective implementation.
Thus, this project addresses the implementation gap that occurs when there is a discrepancy between the strategies on paper and what actually happens in the organization. To identify challenges in the implementation phase it is crucial to review the entire strategic planning process that entails the planning, implementation, and evaluation phases.
The project identified lack of adequate participation in the planning phase, the structure of the strategic plan, leadership deficiencies, and resource limitations as key factors that cause implementation gaps. These factors have been addressed by embracing a more inclusive approach of HCN entities in the current strategic planning cycle, adopting a strategic framework that provides more space for local adaptation, ensuring active involvement of leaders, and developing realistic goals that are aligned with available resources

Immigration Ministry Implications of Hallyu: Exploration of the Potential Impact of South Korean Popular Cultural Flow on Ministry by and to Immigrants
Get PDFThe phenomenon of Hallyu—Korean popular culture—is globally extensive in its influence and reception. Hallyu has transformed how South Koreans and Korean American immigrants perceive their identity and cultural esteem. Coupled with the Korean American immigrant church’s central role in establishing and growing its communities, Hallyu conditions present an opportunity to impact the immigrant ministry in North America. This study suggests that Hallyu lowers barriers to cross-cultural engagement and connection which can positively impact ministry conducted by immigrants and to immigrants
Perceived Faculty Barriers to Using Active Learning Methods in the Higher Education Classroom
No full textResearch evidence continues to reveal that using active learning methods in the classroom has a positive impact on student learning. Additionally, awareness by faculty and administrators of the importance and value of using active learning methods continues to grow in higher education. However, some faculty find the consistent implementation of active learning methods challenging. Many continue to teach the way they were taught, and the majority of terminal degree programs do not include training on learning theory and effective teaching. The study explored the internal and external barriers preventing faculty use of active learning methods in higher education across the United States and the relationship between the barriers and faculty demographics. A sample of one thousand full-time and part-time faculty teaching in private and public higher education institutions completed a twenty-four-item survey on perceived barriers to using active learning in the classroom. Results suggest that male and full professors identified more barriers than their counterparts and listed workload and competing demands high on their lists of barriers to utilizing active learning. The results also showed that training, mentoring, and professional development are vital components for supporting faculty in the utilization of active learning pedagogies and are instrumental in supporting faculty in their efforts to become better teachers of their discipline. Limitations of the study include the use of classroom observation or in-depth interview methodologies to contribute more in-depth data
