Title: The Ethics of the “Right to Disconnect” in the Digital Age
Almost all jobs today involve digital technology, whether emails, Internet access, or smartphone use. Most employees, when interviewed say that digital technology increases their productivity and flexibility. The downside is what some call an “electronic leash” – employees are constantly connected and therefore end up working when they are not “at work.” Over one-third of full-time workers frequently check emails outside of regular working hours.
Because the boundaries between being “at work” and being “at leisure” can be so hazy, some labor unions in other countries have attempted to pass rules that allow employees to disconnect from email and other work-related digital communication during non-working hours. For example, a French labor union representing high-tech workers signed an agreement with a large business association recognizing a “right of disconnecting.”
In Germany, Volkswagen, and BMW no longer forward emails to staff company servers after the end of the working day. Other German firms have declared that on weekends and holidays work related items are intentionally not processed. The German government is considering legislating such restrictions nationwide.
Discussion Prompt
Ethically, should employees have a “right to disconnect?” State your opinion. What are the benefits and drawbacks of disconnecting from work during non-work hours? -
Title: Identifying Research Methodologies in Peer-Reviewed Articles on a Clinical Issue of Interest
Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Keep in mind that the clinical issue you identify for your research will stay the same for the entire course.
Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.
Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.
Part 1: Identifying Research Methodologies
After reading each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles. Your analysis should include the following:
The full citation of each peer-reviewed article in APA format.
A brief (1-paragraph) statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.
A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.
A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific.
A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected. -
“Preparing Managers for International Success: A Cultural Guide for Expanding to [Country]”
Your company, a medium-sized mechanical engineering business from Southern Germany, is in the process of
expanding internationally and setting up a plant in Brazil (or in a country of your choice: South Africa, China,
Russia), which will then serve that respective foreign market. You work in the HR (human resources) department
and your task is to prepare the managers who will be going to the plant in Brazil (or to the selected country). Your
company has an ethnocentric approach to filling management positions abroad. Your task is to develop a
guideline to culturally prepare the managers to be sent abroad.
Task definition:
The guide should contain the following parts:
1. A cultural comparison of Germany and the country you have chosen. For this, you could use Hofstede’s cultural
dimensions. A corresponding comparison tool is freely available online. (Link: https://www.hofstede-
insights.com/product/compare-countries/)
2. Use Hofstede, Hall, and Rotter’s three concepts to illustrate the differences, giving one example each, so that
readers (i.e., the managers about to leave) can understand the importance of the cultural differences. The
examples should be connected to the work context as much as possible.
Note: When comparing the individual dimensions of Hofstede, Hall, and Rotter, special attention should be paid
to those dimensions for which there are significant differences between countries. For example, you should
illustrate that power distance can affect how one relates with superiors. Constructive criticism of one’s boss might
be possible in a more egalitarian country, but it is difficult or even impossible in a country with stricter hierarchies. -

“Exploring the Dream Theory of Wish Fulfillment: A Personal Reflection”
Dream Theory

Dream Theory
The most recent dream that I can remember was a dream I had about hanging out with old friends and working at my old job. It was like things never changed and I was seeing everyone that I haven’t seen in years, but they were still there as well. It definitely wasn’t a bad dream in any way and when I woke up, I felt like maybe I just missed the people that I used to be around all the time and now don’t see. I get dreams like that once in awhile and I think it has a lot to do with how my life has changed so much in 10 years. I was a young man back then with no expectations and only my self to take care of. Now I have children and responsibilities that take most of my time up. I can’t honestly say I have many friends to name off. The dream theory that I think best describes this dream is possibly Wish Fulfillment. My thinking is that my mind is actively letting me know while dreaming that I need more friendships in my life, like I had in the past. Honestly I agree completely its just my life has been so busy lately. -

“Developing an Effective Assessment Cycle for a Unit of Study”

Available May 4 at 12am – Jun 16 at 11:59pm
An assessment cycle is an effective tool for improving instruction. It consists of assessing the students, collecting data, analyzing the data, making instructional decisions, delivering instruction, reassessment of the students, and sharing assessment outcomes. Develop an assessment cycle for a unit of study (FEAP a.4.).
Step 1: Assessment – Create and give a pre-test that has the majority of the questions at the comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation levels for a unit you are teaching to determine what your students know. Design and align a formative assessment that matches learning objectives and leads to mastery; (FEAP a.4.b/FPEC 4.2/InTASC 6b.p, 6o.k, 6t.d). Modify the assessment and testing conditions to accommodate the learning styles and varying levels of knowledge of the students. Use a learning style inventory to determine the learning styles of the students (FEAP a.4.d/FPEC 4.4, 7.5/InTASC 6h.p, 6p.k, 6u.d). List accommodations for ESE and ELL students as needed.
Step 2: Data collection – Use and apply technology to list and organize the scores of the pre-test and include a copy of students’ pre-tests in your assignment (FEAP a.4.f/FPEC 4.6/InTASC 6i.p, 6o.k).
Step 3: Aggregation and Display of Data – What are the results? Analyze each test item (item analysis, product analysis). Identify which test items were answered correctly and which were answered incorrectly for each student. Identify poorly written test items. These items can be corrected or eliminated from the post-assessment. Use a table or graph to display the test results (FEAP a.4.a/FPEC 4.1, 8.6/InTASC 1a.p, 8e.p).
Step 4: Instructional Decisions – What can be determined by analyzing the data? How will what you determine and see from the data affect what you will teach? Use the data to set goals and create standards-based (e.g., Common Core Standards) unit lessons for the students. Demonstrate the use of a variety of assessment tools to monitor student progress, achievement, and learning gains (FEAP a.4.c/FPEC 4.3/InTASC 6b).
Step 5: Instruction – What methods of instruction will you use to impact student learning? Create three lesson plans for the unit.
Step 6: Reassessment – Design and give a post-test to determine what the students learned from your instruction that matches learning objectives and leads to mastery (FEAP a.4.b/FPEC 4.2/InTASC 6b.p, 6o.k, 6t.d). Determine; what was learned, who learned it, and if it was not learned, determine why not? How will you remediate students who have not mastered the concept or skills? How will you provide enrichment activities for students who have achieved mastery? Include copies of post-tests in your assignment (FEAP a.4.f/FPEC 4.6/InTASC 6i.p, 6o.k).
Step 7: Assessment Outcomes – Share the assessment data with the students and the students’ parent/caregiver (FEAP a.4.e/FPEC 4.5, 7.3/InTASC 6f.p, 6v.d).
Step 8: Use technology to improve student study and test-taking skills – Identify review materials for students, such as Learn About FCAT (http://www.testtools.com/fcat/fcat.shtmLinks to an external site.) and Understanding FCAT Reports (http://www.firn.edu/doe/sas/fcat/fcrpdes.htmLinks to an external site.). How can these documents be used to improve test-taking skills? (NSU a.4.g/FPEC 4.2/InTASC 6b.p, 6o.k, 6t.d)
