Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides an overview of core principles and key strategies for teaching communication skills using a learner-centred approach. Goals of communication teaching are summarized. Attitudes are important to be developed as a foundation to the masterful use of skills crossing several different communication issues. Communication should focus on mutual understanding. Effective strategies for teaching communication include experiential, learner-centred small-group work that uses observation, feedback, and repeated practice. The Calgary–Cambridge Model is used as an example of a skills-based approach to teaching communication. Following on, agenda-led outcome-based analysis (ALOBA) is presented as a model to for giving feedback and facilitating experiential, learner-centred, problem-based sessions. The authors close with commentary on modelling and the informal curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1960s and 1970s, improvisational artists explored the use of feedback, both as a creative method and a model of the self in relation to its social and physical environment. As an alternative to centralized authority structures, feedback loops could be used to organize decentralized events or activities. The result would be a self-informing system, or autopoiesis. This idea informed the new field of cybernetics and the social philosophy of Paul Goodman and Gregory Bateson. Max Neuhaus’s realization of John Cage’s composition,Fontana Mix—Feed, made use of this structure, as did his later broadcast works,Public SupplyandRadio Net, and the dance form of “contact improvisation” developed by Steve Paxton. In these works, attention to the dynamics of interaction (“deutero-learning”) fostered an improvisational style based on a heightened environmental awareness rather than an exteriorization of the internal psyche, thus pioneering the postmodern, networked self.

Chidester, Thomas R. Creating a Culture of Safety. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199366149.003.0008.
Full textAbstract:
Safety culture focuses on who is responsible in what ways for patient safety, ranging from individuals and teams performing critical duties on the front lines to the context within which work takes place, and high-level organizational priorities. Though it is a recent concept, it represents growth in the understanding of accident causation, and offers additional and potentially more broadly effective preventive actions. Key concepts include organizational commitment, operational interactions, formal and informal safety indicators, and safety behaviors and outcomes. Measurement can be accomplished through benchmarked surveys, case analysis, field observation, and examination of procedures, manuals, newsletters, brochures, and performance evaluation criteria for their safety focus. Intervening to improve safety culture requires assessing an organization’s current state, communicating safety and minimizing patient risk as a core value in a methodical and sustained manner, deploying and monitoring standardized procedures by workgroup, establishing feedback systems, and reporting progress in safety alongside economic progress.

Full textAbstract:
Musical performance is an irreducibly social phenomenon, manifested through the multiple relationships between performers and audience. In live contexts, the nature and meaning of performance encompass the two-way interplay between performers and audience. This chapter surveys a range of research, from the philosophical to the empirical, into the parameters of this interplay, both during and after performances, focusing most specifically on those aspects that have implications for the creative practice of the musician. These aspects go beyond sound parameters to features of the performance often seen as ‘extra-musical’, such as the visual and gestural aspects of performance, the architecture of the performance space and perceived norms of behaviour within the concert context. Consideration is given to how these elements contribute to different levels of experience, from the ‘basic’ appreciation of structural elements through to the ‘peak’ experiences which music performance sometimes engenders. Also considered is audience feedback, both formal and informal, and how it may have an impact on creative performance.

This chapter examines the environmental impact of residents' behavior and the Prairie Crossing Homeowners Association's conservation management practices. Prairie restoration and preservation at Prairie Crossing plays a secondary role, mainly cultural in nature—and equally as important as the development's primary ecological purpose. The prairie acts as the symbol of Prairie Crossing, giving the development not only a name but also a character, the first impression a prospective buyer assimilates. The prairie and open space provide a positive feedback loop for the conservation agenda, offering for adult residents a sense of connection to the land, and for children a playground to stimulate the natural experience. In addition to the Prairie Crossing Homeowners Association's conservation practices and residents' conservation practices and behaviors, this chapter considers how Prairie Crossing combats knowledge deficits with both formal and informal educational settings. It also describes energy conservation as a guiding principle of Prairie Crossing as well as the project's economic viability.

Full textAbstract:
From banking standards to data privacy, regulation has entered the lexicon of international affairs. Unlike trade or currencies, however, there are few formal treaty-based international organizations resolving disputes or setting the rules for the world. Instead, global regulation is frequently shaped by informal networks of regulators or at times by the extraterritorial extension of domestic law by large markets. Drawing on work from historical institutionalism, this chapter argues that the global politics of regulation is in important respects the product of domestic and international institutions interacting over time and across space. In developing three mechanisms—relative sequencing, cross-national layering, and transnational feedbacks —the chapter argues that historical institutionalism helps address lacunae in extant approaches to global regulation.

Full textAbstract:
The urgency to pragmatically address the challenges of managing incidental findings on neuroimaging is driven by the recent development of very large, population-based imaging studies, and ever-increasing use of imaging within research, clinical, and commercial sectors. Incidental findings are complex and variable. Their clinical significance ranges from benign to life-threatening; detection may be influenced by imaging, reader, and participant characteristics; and feedback may generate follow-up and anxiety. Appropriate management of incidental findings is therefore challenging, but essential in order to minimize negative impacts on participants, health services, individual research studies, and public trust in the wider community. This chapter summarizes current knowledge of the scale of the problem of incidental findings, factors influencing detection, potential impact, and public expectations. It highlights areas where robust, empirical data are needed to inform the design of feasible management policies and improve informed consent processes for the future.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter selectively reviews strands of organizational research informed by the underlying image of the feedback loop, explores different kinds of circularity, and discusses how circularity gives rise to paradoxes in organizations. Organizational circularity expresses better than most organizational processes how managers create realities that develop a dynamic beyond their control, often in surprising and uncontrollable ways. Sometimes these realities are virtuous; other times organizing is built on top of shaky foundations and organizations trap themselves in vicious circles. Circles constitute a preferential observation point from which the complexity of organizing may be viewed. Suggestions for further research are offered.

Full textAbstract:
When doing the right environmental thing makes what you are trying to accomplish more costly or more difficult, information alone is insufficient to prioritize environmental benefit. In some cases information can even backfire: people faced with graphic information of intractable environmental problems may come to feel that their actions would be insignificant or the problem is hopeless, and therefore stop making choices to minimize environmental harm. Information can nevertheless play a useful role in behavior change, especially for people who are already motivated to avoid environmental harm. Information that helps people make informed choices about which alternatives are preferable. Providing feedback to people about their own behavior or prompts to remind them to do things they would like to do can also motivate action. The effect of information in motivating environmentally friendly behavior is, nevertheless, modest.

Full textAbstract:
Facing an “age of accountability,” teachers are subject to increasing evaluation and scrutiny from school administrators, politicians, and the public. This book provides music teachers with strategies to help them thrive in teacher evaluation amid this increased scrutiny. Embedded in educational research and theory and explained using real-world teaching situations, this book helps music teachers find balance between advocating for themselves and remaining open to feedback. The introduction provides background on teacher evaluation systems, including commonly found components and requirements. Chapter 1 details a brief history of teacher evaluation policies and laws in the United States. Chapter 2 provides a framework to help music teachers successfully use teacher evaluation to spark professional growth. Chapters 3 through 6 delve into four key areas that music teachers often struggle with in order to prepare them for observations and discussions with evaluators and improve practice: questioning strategies, differentiation, literacy, and assessment. At the end of each of these chapters are sample lesson plans that demonstrate ways to implement these pedagogical strategies in music classrooms. The final chapter discusses how to talk to evaluators. It explores how music teachers might inform evaluators about the unique challenges and strategies in music education while also remaining open to feedback. It discusses how to talk to both music and non-music evaluators, including those who are poor communicators and those who might not provide sound advice on teaching. Finally, the postlude reminds readers of the importance of approaching teacher evaluation as a means for reflection and professional growth.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter outlines challenges to the successful dissemination of evidence-based treatments and to the realization of a broad public health impact of scientifically informed treatments. Themes include focusing on treatment designs, service systems, and training models that emphasize flexible interfaces for individual differences and exception management routines for real-time challenges. Examples include (a) modular treatment systems that balance laboratory-derived structure and expertise with real-time feedback, client input, and supervisory guidance; (b) service systems to accommodate youth for whom no evidence-based treatment is available or one has failed to achieve the intended benefit; and (c) training models that allow multiple starting points and pathways or strategies to achieve competencies across many evidence-based treatments. It is contended that the field must adopt new architectures in these areas to retain the many gains made by the proliferation of evidence-based treatments while also advancing the ability of evidence to guide practice in working systems.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter concludes by exploring how the findings in the previous chapters can inform future developments in the EU regulatory system and further enhance democratic accountability at both the national and the supranational levels. The chapter first tells a story of convergence: in all three country cases, EU mandates transformed aspects of the preexisting administrative governance, and brought about accountability gains on all prongs of the deliberative-participatory model. However, cross-national variations still exist. This invites consideration of proposals for further EU-driven convergence through the creation, for instance, of a European telecommunications regulatory agency. The chapter suggests that at this stage this idea would result in losses in democratic accountability and would therefore be unwise. Instead, I put forth a proposal that harnesses the accountability benefits of the EU regulatory architecture by tapping into the institutional creativity of the member states and incrementally incorporating further EU-level requirements through a system of feedback loops.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents the physiological metrics used in Games User Research (GUR). Aimed at GUR professionals in the games industry, it explains what methods are available to researchers to measure biometric data while subjects are engaged in play. It sets out when it is appropriate to use biometric measures in GUR projects, the kind of data generated, and the differing ways it can be analysed. The chapter also discusses the trade-offs required when interpreting physiological data, and will help games researchers to make informed decisions about which research questions can benefit from biometric methodologies. As the equipment needed to collect biometric data becomes more sophisticated as well as cheaper, physiological testing of players during a game’s development will become more common. At the same time, Games User Researchers will become more discriminating in its use. Where in the past professionals in the games industry have used biometric testing to generate quick, actionable feedback about player responses to elements of a game, and have been less concerned with the scientific robustness of their methodology, as GUR develops a new breed of games industry professionals are attempting to deploy good academic practice in their researches.

Full textAbstract:
The presentation of psychotic disorders in jails and prisons can be quite complex and diverse. In addition to the schizophrenia spectrum disorders, there are the many disorders of unclear etiology or secondary to the neurotoxic effects of substance abuse. In parallel, the provision of empirically informed care for incarcerated offenders with psychotic disorders presents significant clinical, security, and administrative challenges. However, strong scientific evidence exists that a configuration of interventions offers substantial benefit in the treatment of incarcerated individuals with psychotic disorders. Such a configuration incorporates both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. Specifically, cognitive behavioral therapy, designed and presented within a risk-needs-recovery (R-N-R) framework, when combined with appropriate pharmacological interventions, has strong empirical support as best practice in the treatment of severe mental illness in the correctional population. Further, specific issues related to care coordination, treatment engagement and adherence, implementation of best practice, and treatment fidelity each contribute to resulting symptom reduction and functional improvement. Careful attention to reducing the risks of inappropriate polypharmacy through clinician feedback and practice monitoring is another critical element. This chapter discusses the evidence basis for appropriate treatment of the psychotic disorders and the range of opportunities for both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology in correctional settings.

Tomasello, Michael. The Evolution of Agency. The MIT Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/14238.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
A leading developmental psychologist proposes an evolutionary pathway to human psychological agency. Nature cannot build organisms biologically prepared for every contingency they might possibly encounter. Instead, Nature builds some organisms to function as feedback control systems that pursue goals, make informed behavioral decisions about how best to pursue those goals in the current situation, and then monitor behavioral execution for effectiveness. Nature builds psychological agents. In a bold new theoretical proposal, Michael Tomasello advances a typology of the main forms of psychological agency that emerged on the evolutionary pathway to human beings. Tomasello outlines four main types of psychological agency and describes them in evolutionary order of emergence. First was the goal-directed agency of ancient vertebrates, then came the intentional agency of ancient mammals, followed by the rational agency of ancient great apes, ending finally in the socially normative agency of ancient humans. Each new form of psychological organization represented increased complexity in the planning, decision-making, and executive control of behavior. Each also led to new types of experience of the environment and, in some cases, of the organism's own psychological functioning, leading ultimately to humans' experience of an objective and normative world that governs all of their thoughts and actions. Together, these proposals constitute a new theoretical framework that both broadens and deepens current approaches in evolutionary psychology.

Full textAbstract:
Even seasoned clinicians can feel deskilled when trying to help to highly traumatized and dissociative patients. Together, this book and its accompanying workbook for patients provide an evidence-informed, pragmatic, and compassionate approach to the stabilization and treatment of complex trauma and dissociation. These books will help clinicians immediately implement ways to assess and treat traumatized individuals with a comprehensive therapeutic program that includes session-by-session Information Sheets and Exercises developed through the process of synthesizing decades of clinical experience, the results of the Treatment of Patients with Dissociative Disorders (TOP DD) studies, and feedback from individuals living with trauma-related disorders. Traumatized individuals who participated in the program as part of the TOP DD Network study were better able to manage emotions in healthy ways and reduced their levels of dissociation, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-injury. This book provides guidance on how to use the program in individual and group contexts, as well as expert recommendations for assessing dissociation and clinical vignettes that focus on how to overcome common obstacles in trauma treatment. The companion workbook includes the patient-facing Information Sheets and Exercises that are the foundation for the Finding Solid Ground program. Together, these books present a coherent, comprehensive approach to trauma treatment that rests upon a clearly articulated understanding of the neurobiological impacts of trauma. Clinicians of all levels of experience will find these books inspiring, informative, and accessible.

Potter, Simon J. Wireless Internationalism and Distant Listening. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198800231.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
During the 1920s and 1930s radio was transnational in its reach and appeal, attracting distant listeners and encouraging hopes that broadcasting would foster international understanding and world peace. As a new medium, radio broadcasting transmitted speech, music, news, and a range of exotic and authentic sounds across borders to reach audiences in other countries. In Europe radio was regulated through international consultation and cooperation to restrict interference between stations and to unleash the medium’s full potential to carry programmes to global audiences. A distinctive form of ‘wireless internationalism’ emerged, reflecting and reinforcing the broader internationalist movement and establishing structures and approaches which endured into the Second World War, the Cold War, and beyond. Distant listeners, meanwhile, used new technologies and skills to overcome unwanted noise, tune in as many stations as possible, and comprehend and enjoy what they heard. The BBC and other international broadcasters sought to produce tailor-made programmes for audiences overseas, encouraging feedback from listeners and using it to inform production decisions. The book revises our understanding of early British and global broadcasting, and of the BBC Empire Service (the precursor to today’s World Service), and shows how government influence shaped early BBC international broadcasting in English, Arabic, Spanish, and Portuguese. It also explores the wider European and global context, demonstrating how fascism in Italy and Germany, the Spanish Civil War, and the Japanese invasion of China, combined to overturn the utopianism of the 1920s and usher in a new era of wireless nationalism.

Full textAbstract:
Este E-book nasceu a partir da colaboração entre professores e estudantes voluntários da área de saúde da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e outras instituições colaboradoras. O projeto do E-book “COVID-19: informação e cuidado para superar a crise” foi aprovado no Edital DEX/DPI Chamada Prospectiva de Propostas de Projetos e Ações de Pesquisa, Inovação e Extensão para o combate à COVID-19/ 2020 da UnB. Portanto, este E-book é produto de um projeto de extensão universitária1 , que tem por finalidade compartilhar saberes científicos com a população; porém, empregando uma linguagem popular. A ideia norteadora deste projeto foi tornar a linguagem científica e acadêmica, acessível à população como um todo. A ciência é patrimônio da humanidade e entendê-la é dever das mentes inquietas, curiosas, que buscam formas de lidar com os problemas presentes e futuros. Essa obra foi baseada nas mais recentes evidências científicas sobre a pandemia que assola o Brasil e o mundo, a COVID-19. Na atualidade, esse tema vem sendo explorado intensamente. Contudo, muito se observa acerca das falácias e mitos, e deparamos com a população perdida entre tantos fatos e pseudociência por trás destes. Assim, os estudantes que participaram na criação desta obra, contam com um espírito altruísta, juntamente com seus professores, somando forças para informar a quem desejar “beber” desta fonte de informações seguras. O zelo e carinho na elaboração deste E-book foi tamanho, que até mesmo um capítulo dedicado as crianças foi cuidadosamente preparado, o Capítulo 8 - Cientista Mirim. O último capítulo deste livro foi criado pensando em trazer a ciência na linguagem de crianças a partir de 8 anos. Parece loucura ensinar uma criança assuntos como Imunologia, Biologia Molecular, Microbiologia? Faça um tour pelo nosso capítulo “Cientista Mirim” e comprove o quanto as crianças são capazes de entender a ciência de forma lúdica e ao mesmo tempo profunda. Desafio você a ler para seu filho e nos enviar um feedback! A melhor forma de entender sobre um assunto é estudando sobre. Todavia, cuidado! Nem tudo que se propaga em redes sociais e aplicativos de mensagens, é verdadeiro. Na verdade, estudos mostram que a maioria das “notícias” ou “informações” divulgadas nos App de mensagens, são fakes. Neste E-book, no entanto, os autores foram cuidadosos em estudar e checar cada informação contida aqui.

Lema Vélez, Luisa Fernanda, Daniel Hermelin, María Margarita Fontecha, and Dunia H. Urrego. Climate Change Communication in Colombia. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228620.013.598.
Full textAbstract:
Colombia is in a privileged position to take advantage of international climate agreements to finance sustainable development initiatives. The country is a signatory of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreements. As a non-Annex I party to the UNFCCC, Colombia produces low emissions in relation to global numbers (0.46% of total global emissions for 2010) and exhibits biogeographical conditions that are ideal for mitigation of climate change through greenhouse gas sequestration and emission reductions. Simultaneously, recent extreme climatic events have harshly compromised the country’s economy, making Colombia’s vulnerability to climate change evident.While these conditions should justify a strong approach to climate change communication that motivates decision making and leads to mitigation and adaptation, the majority of sectors still fall short of effectively communicating their climate change messages. Official information about climate change is often too technical and rarely includes a call for action. However, a few exceptions exist, including environmental education materials for children and a noteworthy recent strategy to deliver the Third Communication to the UNFCCC in a form that is more palatable to the general public. Despite strong research on climate change, particularly related to agricultural, environmental, and earth sciences, academic products are rarely communicated in a way that is easily understood by decision makers and has a clear impact on public policy. Messages from the mass media frequently confuse rather than inform the public. For instance, television news refers to weather-related disasters, climate variability, and climate change indiscriminately. This shapes an erroneous idea of climate change among the public and weakens the effectiveness of communications on the issue.The authors contrast the practices of these sectors with those of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working in Colombia to show how they address the specific climate communication needs facing the country. These NGOs directly face the challenge of working with diverse population groups in this multicultural, multiethnic, and megadiverse country. NGOs customize languages, channels, and messages for different audiences and contexts, with the ultimate goal of building capacity in local communities, influencing policymakers, and sensitizing the private sector. Strategies that result from the work of interdisciplinary groups, involve feedback from the audiences, and incorporate adaptive management have proven to be particularly effective.
