A performance technologist's approach to process performance improvement     

Florence Martin 《Performance Improvement》2008,47(2):30-40

Process performance management provides detailed understanding of the design of a process to improve performance. This article highlights a process performance model aligned with the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) steps of the Six Sigma model, but with additional substeps to guide process improvement. It thus identifies process improvement as one of the key tools in the performance technologist's toolkit and provides recommendations for methods, practices, and tools.  相似文献   

Organizational knowledge creation and the generation of new product ideas: A behavioral approach   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Anja Schulze  Martin Hoegl 《Research Policy》2008,37(10):1742-1750

In this paper, we address the pre-project phase of idea generation in the product innovation process, where the effective generation of new product ideas still remains an issue of high relevance for both management scholars and practitioners. We relate Nonaka and colleagues’ four knowledge creation modes of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization to the novelty of product ideas generated. Taking a behavioral perspective on the four modes, we posit positive relationships between socialization as well as internalization and the novelty of product ideas, whereas we postulate negative relationships for externalization as well as combination. Using data from multiple respondents in 33 companies, our results confirm the proposed linkages.  相似文献   

Summative Evaluation     

Martin E. Smith  Dale C. Brandenburg 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》1991,4(2):35-58

Summative evaluation is defined as the process of determining the value, effectiveness, or efficiency of an object to form a decision–making basis about that object. In this article, we present an overview of one major aspect of summative evaluation–the planning process–and then present essays on five topics that we believe are difficult issues most often faced in the conduct of summative evaluation. These five topics are: (a) client commitment to evaluation; (b) evaluating the training organization; (c) evaluating management training; (d) institutionalizing the evaluation process; and (e) the conduct of cost benefit studies.  相似文献

Reassessing training programs: A model for identifying training excesses and deficiencies     

Martin Tessmer  Daniel McCann  Michael Ludvigsen 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1999,47(2):86-99

Needs assessments are traditionally based on an optimals-actuals deficiency model that is utilized before instruction is implemented. However, in some cases an existing training program may be reassessed to determine what training needs still exist. These situations could benefit from an excess-based model, where the assessment effort is designed to identify instructional excesses as well as deficiencies. This article explains the theory and procedures for an innovative needs reassessment approach, the CODE system. The article also provides some empirical data on the potential value of the CODE process for decisions about the reallocation of instructional resources in existing training programs. Two exploratory studies were conducted that provide evidence of the validity of the CODE system: (a) a needs reassessment of a corporate training program, and (b) a medical training program reassessment.  相似文献   

School Students' Ideas About Air Pollution: Hindrance or Help For Learning?   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Thornber  Jillian  Stanisstreet  Martin  Boyes  Edward 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》1999,8(1):67-73

School students are thought to have an insecure knowledge about the `science' of the air, yet the popular media often feature issues about air pollution, which may either confuse students further, or offer teaching opportunities. This study used a free-form questionnaire to explore 1011 year old students' ideas about the nature of air pollution, and its biological and physical effects. Many think that `gases' pollute the air, using the term in a general, non-scientific sense. However, some students can name individual pollutants (CFCs, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide), perhaps because they associate them with well-known environmental problems. Transport and industry were seen as the main sources of pollutants. Most students stated that air pollution will kill plants and animals. Although fewer thought this true of humans, many thought that people will become ill, with a quarter of the students raising the specific problem of asthma. Some students thought that buildings will be unaffected by air pollution, but many wrote that they would be damaged or become discolored. The view that students' ideas from out-of-school sources, coupled with their intrinsic concern for the environment, may offer starting-points for teaching curriculum science is discussed.  相似文献   

Narratives in a Science Center: Interpretation and Identity     

Laura M. W. Martin  Richard Toon 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2005,48(4):407-425

Abstract This paper discusses issues raised by research into people's views of science and scientists, and the implications for interpretative forms in museums. The principles proposed here are based on a series of meetings that looked at the use of narratives in science and the responses of potential visitors from different cultural groups to ideas for narrative signage. Signage design can help people connect to science content by relating practical and theoretical knowledge, crafting explanations, understanding the nature of the medium, and conveying a message about science. The use of narrative form to design experiential guides opens up the possibility of changing a visitor's relationship to the traditional text encountered in museums.  相似文献   

Biomechanical analysis of the “waiter’s serve” on upper limb loads in young elite tennis players     

Pierre Touzard  Richard Kulpa  Benoit Bideau  Bernard Montalvan  Caroline Martin 《European Journal of Sport Science》2019,19(6):765-773

Waiter’s serve (WS) is a specific tennis serve posture frequently observed in young players, and commonly considered as a technical error by tennis coaches. However, biomechanical impact of WS is unknown. The aims of this study were to identify the potential consequences of WS in young elite players relating to performance and injury risk, and to explain the kinematic causes of WS. Serve of 18 male junior elite players (Top 10 national French ranking, aged 12–15 years) was captured with a 20 camera, 200?Hz VICON MX motion analysis system. Depending on their serve technique, the players were divided into two groups (WS versus Normal Serve [NS]) by experienced coaches. Injury data were collected for each player during a 12-month-period following the motion capture. Normalized peak kinetic values of the dominant arm were calculated using inverse dynamics. In order to explain WS posture, upper limb kinematics were calculated during the cocking and the acceleration phases of the serve.
