Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What People Have Said About Human Competence: "Among the ideas bulging from this classic work: performance exemplars, potential for improving performance, behavior-accomplishment distinction, performance matrix, ACORN troubleshooting test, performance audits, states, Worth = Value - Cost, knowledge maps, mediators, and job aids. The great accomplishments Gilbert left behind will continue to profit behavior analysis and performance improvement for a long, long time." --Ogden Lindsley, Behavior Research Company "Human Competence is probably the most borrowed and least returned book in my library. It?s good to have it in print more than once, so that I can keep replacing it, and rereading it for new insights from the original master of HPT." --Rob Foshay, TRO Learning, Inc. "Human Competence stands not only as a tribute to Tom's genius, but also as the best single source of ideas about performance technology. It is a 'must have' for anyone serious about changing the performance of individuals or organizations." --Dick Lincoln, Centers for Disease Control

Download or read book Competence Based Education and Training (CBET) and the End of Human Learning written by John Preston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book radically counters the optimism sparked by Competence Based Education and Training, an educational philosophy that has re-emerged in Schooling, Vocational and Higher Education in the last decade. CBET supposedly offers a new type of learning that will lead to skilled employment; here, Preston instead presents the competency movement as one which makes the concept of human learning redundant. Starting with its origins in Taylorism, the slaughterhouse and radical behaviourism, the book charts the history of competency education to its position as a global phenomenon today, arguing that competency is opposed to ideas of process, causality and analog human movement that are fundamental to human learning.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European competitiveness in a global perspective is a major issue on the agenda of the European Union and European industry. The question of competitiveness is often re lated to continual technological change and changing work structures to create more flexible and adaptive work places. But these changes are in themselves insufficient to meet the demands of a turbulent business environment, if they are not brought about in close relationship with and anchored to the development of the human resource poten tial. Technological innovation and modern post-Tayloristic work structures place new demands on workers. Workers' abilities and competencies must be raised in virtually every sphere - in what are termed the new key/core competencies related to knowl edge and cognitive skills, social skills, general and work related personality character istics together with a high level of technological ability. At the same time, to make optimal use of the human potential, the way in which work is organised and accord ingly the way in which people are managed, must allow workers to develop and use the required competencies. An integrated Human Resource Development approach is needed in which workers abilities and competencies take a central place. European competitiveness, from this perspective, implies a strategic choice by European compa nies and policy makers to invest in people and their (potential) abilities.

Download or read book Recent Theories of Human Development written by R. Murray Thomas and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2001 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as supplemental reading in courses on theories of development, this book augments traditional core texts by providing students with more depth on about two dozen recent and emerging theories that have appeared over the past 20 years. This period has seen a decline of the traditional "grand" theories that attempt to apply to all people all the time in favor of "micro theories" that focus more on individual differences, so a book like this actually points the way toward the future rather than dryly reviewing the past. In addition, the author inspects the changing ways in which the concept of "theory" itself has been interpreted during this period, and he concludes with a chapter suggesting future directions.

Book excerpt: This book is written for those who will live beyond tomorrow in an unknown future. Technology, and specifically artificial intelligence (AI), is advancing at a rate that is unparalleled in human history. Human beings are capable of great accomplishments, beautiful expressions of creativity, and horrific acts of brutality. If humanity is to survive, we need to evolve. Today's educators, and students, are locked into education systems designed for a past that no longer exists. As artificial intelligence outpaces the computational skill of the human brain (biological intelligence), and data is now readily available in this technological age, we must identify the unique human strengths that will guarantee the survival of our species. I like to think in terms of bubbles in time that encapsulate our lives. We build nests for security and when we are gone, our accumulated possessions are dispersed. What we leave behind, if anything, is genetic material--if we have children--and the remnants of our accomplishments if they are significant enough to be useful in a future time. Some people dream of a future for mankind that exists beyond their personal bubble. Most hope that they have provided a foundation for their descendants and for all who will live in future societies. I have spent most of my adult life teaching; trying to make education relevant, dynamic, and individualized to meet the needs of every learner. I believe in empowering students to become self-directed learners. They need to have a reliable skill set that allows them to follow their passions, think critically, learn at an accelerated pace, adapt to changing situations, work collaboratively, and hold to the highest standards attainable as ethical human beings. I want to do what I can to prepare our kids, so they can 'live long and prosper' in their time. Juval Noah Harari is a present-day historian and philosopher. Much of what I understand about our species, the future of mankind, and how best to prepare those who will live in the future, comes from Harari. There are other leaders with powerful insights as well. Once, in a time past, I envisioned tomorrow and went with my insights and dreams. I shared much, wrote many words, lived and taught by example. I was joined by others who had similar insights. The information my wife and I gained about accelerating learning, through building Crow Canyon, an education and archaeological re-search center, was powerful. Now, with almost sixty years of experience as an educator, I continue to write about how we have to restructure education to better prepare students with skills for their future--a future which is not entirely unpredictable. My most effective teaching was around campfires. With the help of my wife Jo, who brought music, poetry, and insights to cement experiences, we wove reality and history into stories that could be retold as a foundation for the times ahead. The gathering of students--the class and dialog--described in this book exemplifies a model classroom for the future. I set the parameters for the students and gently guide their search for answers. As the class progresses, I begin to withdraw and become part of the team. The students take power, use their skills, explore new ideas, reflect on their own experiences, and apply their insights to the design of an improved education system for the future. This search for answers takes place through a medley of student dialogues. Welcome to the fire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How our collective intelligence has helped us to evolve and prosper Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals? This book shows that the secret of our success lies not in our innate intelligence, but in our collective brains—on the ability of human groups to socially interconnect and learn from one another over generations. Drawing insights from lost European explorers, clever chimpanzees, mobile hunter-gatherers, neuroscientific findings, ancient bones, and the human genome, Joseph Henrich demonstrates how our collective brains have propelled our species' genetic evolution and shaped our biology. Our early capacities for learning from others produced many cultural innovations, such as fire, cooking, water containers, plant knowledge, and projectile weapons, which in turn drove the expansion of our brains and altered our physiology, anatomy, and psychology in crucial ways. Later on, some collective brains generated and recombined powerful concepts, such as the lever, wheel, screw, and writing, while also creating the institutions that continue to alter our motivations and perceptions. Henrich shows how our genetics and biology are inextricably interwoven with cultural evolution, and how culture-gene interactions launched our species on an extraordinary evolutionary trajectory. Tracking clues from our ancient past to the present, The Secret of Our Success explores how the evolution of both our cultural and social natures produce a collective intelligence that explains both our species' immense success and the origins of human uniqueness.
