Financial Feeling: An Investigation of Emotion and Communication in the Workplace     

Katherine I. Miller - Katherine Miller is a Professor  Director of Graduate Studies in the 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2008,36(1):8-32

There is growing interest in the role of emotion when considering communication in the workplace. This work has most often considered workers in front-line service positions in investigations of emotional labor, and human service workers in investigations of empathy and emotional work. In this study, we consider processes of both emotional labor and emotional work in the financial planning profession. Financial planners occupy a role requiring ongoing relationships with clients, conversations about the often emotional topic of money, and a need to manage emotion in a variety of interaction contexts. Thus, from extant theory and literature regarding emotion and communication, we proposed research questions regarding the roles of emotional labor and emotional work in the financial planning profession. These questions were investigated in a web-based survey study of almost 300 professional financial planners and supporting interviews with 14 financial planners. Results indicate support for existing theory on emotional work, extensions to current research regarding emotional labor, and important implications for the role of emotion and communication in a range of professional service roles.  相似文献   

Predictive value of ventilatory inflection points determined under field conditions     

Christian Heyde  Hubert Mahler  Kai Roecker  Albert Gollhofer 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(9):787-793

The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive potential provided by two ventilatory inflection points (VIP₁ and VIP₂) examined in field without using gas analysis systems and uncomfortable facemasks. A calibrated respiratory inductance plethysmograph (RIP) and a computerised routine were utilised, respectively, to derive ventilation and to detect VIP₁ and VIP₂ during a standardised field ramp test on a 400 m running track on 81 participants. In addition, average running speed of a competitive 1000 m run (S_1k) was observed as criterion. The predictive value of running speed at VIP₁ (S_VIP1) and the speed range between VIP₁ and VIP₂ in relation to VIP₂ (VIP_SPAN) was analysed via regression analysis. VIP_SPAN rather than running speed at VIP₂ (S_VIP2) was operationalised as a predictor to consider the covariance between S_VIP1 and S_VIP2. S_VIP1 and VIP_SPAN, respectively, provided 58.9% and 22.9% of explained variance in regard to S_1k. Considering covariance, the timing of two ventilatory inflection points provides predictive value in regard to a competitive 1000 m run. This is the first study to apply computerised detection of ventilatory inflection points in a field setting independent on measurements of the respiratory gas exchange and without using any facemasks.  相似文献   

Combining issues of “girl-suited” science teaching,STS and constructivism in a physics textbook     

Professor Dr. Reinders Duit  Professor Dr. Peter Häussler  Dr. Roland Lauterbach  Professor Dr. Helmut Mikelskis  Professor Dr. Walter Westphal 《Research in Science Education》1992,22(1):106-113

This paper outlines the design of a physics textbook that addresses issues of gender-inclusive physics teaching, STS and constructivism. Difficulties of addressing these issues in a textbook for normal classes, which has to compete with other textbooks on the market will be discussed. Specializations: constructivist approaches in science education research and practice. Specializations: gender issues in science instruction. Specializations: primary education, integrated science. Specializations: STS, phenomenological oriented physics instruction. Specializations: peace education within science education.  相似文献   

提升就业质量:职业教育发展的新视角   总被引：7，自引：1，他引：7  

马庆发 《教育与职业》2004,(12):6-8

职业教育应努力追求“充分的、生产性的和自由选择的就业”目标的实现;不能仅仅关注毕业生的“就业率”,而更要将“提升就业质量”作为发展的新视角。所谓“就业质量”,一般概括为职业社会地位、工资水平、社会保障、发展空间等四大方面,具体体现在职业声望、职业期望满足程度、职业成就、职业锚、专业方向与职业的适应性、人职匹配诸方面。提升就业质量途径和措施主要概括为:首先,重视提高职业咨询或职业指导的质量;其次,基于就业质量的提升,改革职业教育课程与教学;再次,借鉴发达国家和地区的“现代学徒制”理论和实践经验,创设“本土化的”产学合作现代职业教育模式。  相似文献   

A partitioning technique for defining instructional groups     

Frank B. Baker  Lawrence J. Hubert 《Instructional Science》1979,8(2):121-132

A technique is presented for partitioning N students into K groups of fixed sizes using a given measure of proximity for all student pairs. The measure of proximity is typically calculated from a set of variables, such as completed curriculum units or learning style, and constitutes the data needed for a criterion of partition fit. This latter index is explicitly defined by the sum of within-group proximities and when used in conjunction with the optimization procedure discussed, homogeneous groups can be obtained that satisfy externally imposed size requirements. Finally, a simple generalization is suggested for the related task of grouping students to meet upper limit size constraints only.  相似文献   

Primary teachers' understanding in science and its impact in the classroom   总被引：1，自引：2，他引：1  

Professor Wynne Harlen 《Research in Science Education》1997,27(3):323-337

Research carried out over a period of two years into primary teachers' understanding of concepts in science and technology provided information about teachers' confidence in teaching science, their understanding of a range of key ideas and their background of science in their own education. The early part of the paper describes how these data were collected, noting that the method of interviewing used to explore teachers' understanding served as an opportunity for the advancement of their understanding. The relationships among the variables of confidence, understanding and background in science are then explored. Although teachers expressed low confidence in teaching science, which was linked to a lack of understanding of scientific ideas, they also claimed not to find great difficulty in using certain teaching skills required for science, including those which would appear to demand content knowledge. This apparent anomaly is discussed and linked to the strategies used by teachers to cope with low confidence and understanding. The paper ends by considering briefly the role of content knowledge in teaching science.  相似文献

Teaching physics to prospective elementary teachers: Bridging gaps or widening chasms     

Professor Kenneth Tobin  Wolff-Michael Roth  Sabitra Brush 《Research in Science Education》1995,25(3):267-281

The education of prospective Elementary and Early Childhood (E&EC) teachers to teach science has been an on-going challenge for science teacher educators. Accordingly, a course in physical science was planned and implemented especially for prospective E&EC teachers. The purpose of this study was to understand the nature of the enacted curriculum and about the forces which constrained its evolution. Miller, the teacher of the course, had no prior experience in teaching prospective E&EC teachers and many of his experiences as a university level teacher were based on his teaching of physics majors. These experiences shaped his approach to teaching the course as did his years as a basketball coach. Miller was an expert in physics and constructed his role as teaching students significant scientific truths. Miller saw the purpose of the course as being to educate the students in science, not to prepare them to teach science. He was unwilling to address the goals of students that were oriented strongly toward becoming better teachers. The beliefs of the teacher constrained the enacted curriculum to an extent that gaps between the needs of students and the enacted curriculum were wider at the end of the course than they were at the beginning. Armstrong College In my opinion I think I failed completely, but I am quite happy with what I am trying to do. I just don't think I executed it well. So I was pretty unhappy with the whole experience in terms of the results, but I was not unhappy with the experience in terms of whether it was worth doing. I think it is important in science to develop free-thinking and being able to come to conclusions. Science is being able to reflect on the human condition, and being able to think about things you don't know about. (Miller)  相似文献
