Organizational Health in Amando Cope College: A Basis for Developing Strategic Plan
Get PDFWork is an important activity in one’s life. It provides individuals with improved chances of experiencing health, financial, and social advantages in life. The objective of the study is to determine the organizational health of the institution, whether it is balanced with the stakeholders’ expectation or whether it should improve its current practices and policies that would affect the employees’ morale and productivity. It was found out that majority of the employees in Amando Cope College have 1-5 years of experience in their respective field of specialization, likewise, most of the respondents were engaged in teaching professions, along soft or hard skills, it was also found out that teaching and mentoring were the most relevant to their position. On the other hand, board passer, educationally prepared and experiential readiness were found to be the respondents’ achievements under career profile. On professional goal; enhance expertise in one’s field, earn a higher salary, grow professional network, and obtain higher credentials were found to be their career objectives in joining the organization. The two groups of respondents rated the following: leadership, employees, workplace, and success shows that the healthy career trajectory are always manifested. The two groups of respondents rated the indicators along employees engagement; work with co-workers in the attainment of organization’s goals and accountabilities are made clear to everyone in one’s team, understand changes in the organization, and engaged happily in one’s work were found to be engaged in full extent. In the light of the foregoing findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are offered: The organization’s management should provide its personnel with trainings, seminars, activities, and appraisal program to further enhance their skills and capabilities; Administrators may be encouraged to revisit organizational practices that characterize the organization; the institution may implement new strategies to uplift the employees’ morale and well-being like recognition, rewards, incentives and appreciation; and the Office of the President may be furnished with the strategic plan offered by different department head using the researcher’s formatted template
Factors Associated with the Retention and Migration that Influence Senior High School Graduates in Amando Cope College
Get PDFThis study determined the manifested factors influencing the retention and migration of senior high school graduates in Amando Cope College starting its implementation on SY 2016-2017 up to present. The following conclusions are derived: Older students may have greater maturity, which can influence how they weigh their options regarding where to pursue college and might actively seek independence and choose to migrate, while younger students might be less ready for relocation, preferring to stay in a familiar environment like Amando Cope College; Sex plays a potentially important role in understanding pattern of retention and migration among senior high school graduates; parental earnings and parents’ educational attainment plays a critical role in shaping the post-senior high school educational decisions of students and a significant factor that can greatly influence their children’s academic decisions and aspirations; factors influencing the retention of SHS graduates, student’s positive past experience during their senior high school (SHS) years in Amando Cope College have powerful influence on their decision to either stay for college or leave for another institution these experiences, both academic and non-academic, shape the students’ perceptions of the college environment, support systems, and overall value. Factors influencing the migration of SHS graduates describe the learning environment as the most influential factor that affect their decision to migrate to other institutions. Physical setting, classroom atmosphere, availability of learning resources, quality of instruction, and overall academic culture plays a pivotal role in shaping students’ educational experiences and future decisions. Various recommendations were offered to the school administrators by the researcher upon the completion of the study
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
