Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a practical, scientifically validated approach for improving organizational performance by actively and positively managing behavior at the workplace. Managing behavior should not be confused with ‘changing people', nor should it be confused with ‘manipulating people'. It is about creating a workplace that facilitates and supports maximum performance in an ethical way. To achieve this, leaders and other influencers must familiarize themselves with the basic principles that demonstrably drive behavioral change, leading to increased motivation and sustainable organizational performance. OBM principles can be combined with any best practice, methodology and business management philosophy you can think of. The principles are applicable to a wide array of organizational topics, such as improving processes, practices and value streams, emitting save behaviors and improving individual well-being. OBM answers the how-to-question when it comes to addressing performance and behavioral issues. Organizations are all about people. People must emit the right behaviors to make the organization successful and deliver value to the consumers first time right. Effective leaders and other influencers know how to positively build and maintain these behaviors.

Seit langem umstritten, regelt § 55 JGG eine weitgehende Rechtsmittelbeschränkung im Jugendstrafrecht. Begründet wird diese Sonderregelung mit der scheinbar einleuchtenden Forderung, dass die Strafe der Tat möglichst „auf dem Fuße“ folgen müsse, um erzieherisch wirksam zu sein. Diese Publikation greift die Kritik an § 55 JGG auf und zeichnet zunächst die historischen Wurzeln der Rechtsmittelbeschränkung nach. Sodann prüft sie die Legitimation der gesetzgeberischen Begründung u. a. anhand von gegenläufigen Erkenntnissen aus der Verhaltenspsychologie. Verstöße gegen höherrangiges Recht führen zu dem Appell, die Ausnahmevorschrift zeitnah zu streichen. Abschließend werden auch die möglichen Konsequenzen, die mit einer Abschaffung der Rechtsmittelbeschränkung einhergehen, beleuchtet.

This important book offers a meta-theoretical account of educational theories and how they work. It offers a classification scheme of distinct types of educational theory in which the account developed can inform the work of educational theorists and practitioners.Kvernbekk observes throughout how meta-theoretical knowledge of the structure of theory types will improve the understanding and representation of educational phenomena and enhance theorists'and practitioners'ability to change those phenomena for the better. She explains how philosophical accounts of scientific theories can help us understand the nature of educational theories by applying two influential but different theory conceptions – the Received View and the Semantic Conception – to the field of education. Kvernbekk argues that educational theories, like other scientific theories, are representational devices that allow us to understand, describe and explain phenomena, and, when desired, to change them. The classification scheme offered allows us to discriminate distinct types of educational theory: goal-directed, equivalence and interlevel theories. Examples of all three types are discussed, explaining their structure, what they say about the phenomena and how they say it. The book also offers a critical overview of different conceptions of practice and different understandings of the theory–practice relationship. Encouraging a strong understanding of what theories say about the phenomena they represent, this book will be of interest to educational researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, education theory and education policy, and to philosophers of science and philosophers working on ‘practical'philosophical issues.

The book brings together contributions from curriculum history, cultural studies, visual cultures, and science and technology studies to explore the international mobilizations of the sciences related to education during the post-World War Two years. Crossing the boundaries of education and science studies, it uniquely examines how the desires of science to actualize a better society were converted to the search for remaking social life that paradoxically embodied cultural differences and social divisions. The book examines how cybernetics and systems theories traveled and were assembled to turn schools into social experiments and laboratories for change. Explored are the new comparative technologies of quantification and the visualization of educational data used in the methods of mass observation. The sciences not only about the present but also the potentialities of societies and people in the psychologies of childhood; concerns for individual development, growth, and creativity; teacher education; and the quantification and assessments of educational systems. The book also explores how the categories and classifications of the sciences formed at intersections with the humanities, the arts, and political practices. This informative volume will be of interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of curriculum studies, the history of the social sciences, the history of education, and cultural studies, and to educators and school leaders concerned with education policy.

Dit boek gaat over het realiseren van gedragsverandering in organisaties. Het geeft een concreet, praktisch toepasbaar antwoord op de ‘hoe'-vraag van gedragsverandering, gebaseerd op wetenschappelijk gevalideerde principes. Daarmee onderscheidt dit boek zich van vele andere managementboeken. Organizational Behavior Management, kortweg OBM, is het vakgebied dat zich bezighoudt met gedragsverandering in organisaties. Sommigen spreken liever van ‘gerichte gedragsbeïnvloeding'. OBM gaat niet over veranderen van mensen, maar over het veranderen van de omgeving waarin mensen zich gedragen. Het doel van OBM is het scheppen van werkomstandigheden die mensen inspireren en motiveren voor topprestaties. Leiders spelen een belangrijke faciliterende rol in het creëren en onderhouden van dergelijke werkomstandigheden. Goed toepassen van OBM-principes maakt dat mensen er lol in krijgen om elke dag goed te presteren. Dat is voor iedereen leuk; het creëert een absolute ‘win-win'situatie. Mensen vertonen de hele dag door gedrag. Soms vertonen ze regelrecht ongewenst gedrag. Anderen doen gewoon niet wat we hebben afgesproken, of wat ze hebben geleerd in trainingen. Veel organisaties hebben last van onhandig, ongewenst, of zelfs dysfunctioneel gedrag op de werkvloer, bijvoorbeeld in de vorm van ‘pocket veto'en ‘ja-zeggen, nee-doen', slachtoffergedrag, vermijdingsgedrag of ontsnappingsgedrag. Analyseren van al deze vormen van waarneembaar gedrag geeft bijvoorbeeld antwoord op de volgende vragen: •“Waarom vertonen we nu specifiek dit gedrag en doen we het niet anders?” •“Hoe krijg je mensen zover dat ze ander gedrag willen vertonen?”. Dit boek geeft antwoorden op deze vragen en biedt leidinggevenden en andere beïnvloeders een stevig en wetenschappelijk onderbouwd handvat voor gedrags-, prestatie- en motivatievraagstukken.

This book is about achieving behavioral change in organizations. It provides a specific, practically applicable answer to the ‘how'question of behavioral change, based on scientifically validated principles. This distinguishes this book from many other management books. Organizational Behavior Management, or OBM for short, is the field that deals with behavioral change in organizations. Some prefer to speak of ‘targeted behavioral influence'. OBM is not about changing people, nor is it about manipulating people. It is about changing the environment in which people behave. The goal is to create working conditions that inspire and motivate people to deliver peak performance. Leaders play an important facilitating role in creating and maintaining such working conditions. Applying OBM principles properly makes people happy to perform well every day. That's fun for everyone; it creates an absolute ‘win-win situation'. People exhibit, or display observable behavior all day long. Sometimes people emit outright unwanted behavior. Others just don't do what we agreed upon, or don't do what they learned in training. Many organizations suffer from clumsy, unwanted, or even dysfunctional behavior in the workplace. For example in the form of ‘pocket veto'and ‘saying yes, meaning no', victim behavior, avoidance behavior or escape behavior. Analyzing observable behavior, for example, answers the following questions: •'Why are we now specifically emitting this behavior and not other behavior?'•'How do you get people to want to behave differently?'This book gives answers to these questions and provides executives and other influencers with a solid and evidence-based approach for dealing with behavioral, performance and motivational issues.

Placement of students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment has become a central issue in special education. To date, no comprehensive treatment of placement issues is available, especially for students with emotional and behavioral disorders who present particularly difficult placement problems. This book combines data and discussions intended to further the understanding of how and why decisions are made to place students with emotional or behavioral disorders in particular educational environments. This volume establishes the problem of placement in a contemporary and historical context, reviews the literature on placement of students with emotional or behavioral disorders, and discusses placement options and concerns about multicultural issues, post-secondary education, law and regulation, demands on teachers, and policy choices. Its goals are to: • improve understanding of decision processes leading to placement, • set the stage for improvements in pupils'lives in school and elsewhere, and • stimulate research on the many placement issues that are left unresolved.

First published in 1995. This book is about the issues in the education of pupils with learning difficulties.

First published in 1985. The field of mental handicap is a broad one encompassing the interests of many professional groups. As a result, there is a need periodically to present wide-ranging reviews of advances in the field. This is the central aim of this volume. Two chapters focus on the cognitive domain, and are especially pertinent in view of the recent release of the new Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children which uses Das's theoretical position as its foundation. Another contribution reviews the area of non-speech communication with those with special needs, a subject of much current interest and controversy. Other chapters focus on major issues such as maladaptive behaviour and deinstitionalization and use of new technology. The book is thus likely to be relevant to all those with an interest in advances in mental handicap research.

VeriSM is a framework that describes a service management approach from the organizational level, looking at the end to end view rather than focusing on a single department. Based around the VeriSM model, it shows organizations how they can adopt a range of management practices in a flexible way to deliver the right product or service at the right time to their consumers. VeriSM allows for a tailored approach depending upon the type of business you are in, the size of your organization, your business priorities, your organizational culture – and even the nature of the individual project or service you are working on. Rather than focusing on one prescriptive way of working, VeriSM helps organizations to respond to their consumers and deliver value with integrated service management practices. Service management plays a leading role in digital transformation. Digital transformation looks outward; with a hyper-focus on the consumer experience. Service management can help shift the mindset from'inside-out'to'outside-in'by developing effective, transparent principles that help deliver services that are valuable to the customer. All organizational capabilities must understand: -How does the organization enable and deliver value? - What are the supply chains within an organization that support value delivery? -How do the individual capabilities contribute to or support these supply chains to deliver value?

Com a apresentação do doutor Vitor da Fonseca e o prefácio assinado pelo doutor Juan Antônio Moreno Murcia, o livro Bebê Aquático faz uma reflexão a partir da abordagem de mediação sobre a prática da'estimulação'ou'facilitação'motora de bebês em meio líquido, a chamada'natação para bebês', com base na Teoria Evolucionista do Macaco Aquático, de Elaine Morgan, e no pensamento filosófico de Merleau Ponty e Ortega Y Gasset. Sabe-se que o bebê neonato e de até 6 meses de idade nasce com uma série de características bastante peculiares. Tais características passam por um processo de transformação, ou melhor, de adaptação, pois o bebê intrauterino possuía uma sobrevivência parasitária, completamente dependente física, psíquica e emocionalmente da mãe, e após o nascimento terá de aprender a sobreviver neste novo mundo. Esse liame ou conexão entre a água e o ar, em que ocorre a estimulação motora em meio líquido, reflete a passagem do bebê do meio intra para o extrauterino. Exercitar essa conexão entre condutas e comportamentos motores, como um continuum ocorrido naturalmente, pode ser o início de uma vida acolhedora? Em meio a muitas reflexões e alinhavos de pensamentos de diversos autores, este livro irá do clássico ao moderno, buscando a resposta para como se dá o natural processo de desenvolvimento motor do bebê, iniciado ainda dentro do ventre materno. Seríamos nós bebês aquáticos?

What models in the social sciences underlie existing or proposed patterns of educational practice? What theories of knowledge inform such models and thus arguably sanction such practice? In this book, first published in 1983, the author seeks some tentative answers. Wittgenstein's understanding of ‘family resemblance'and Chomsky's ‘linguistic universals'are interpreted, contrary to Hamlyn, as reconcilable notions that can both illuminate and refine Hirst's understanding of ‘categorical concepts'. In the light of such a reformulated theory, Brent suggest ways in which a unified model of the social sciences could yield a unified curriculum theory. This title will be of interest to students of the philosophy of education and curriculum studies.

The phenomena of motivation cannot be studied separately as an independent research topic because motivation is highly interrelated to cognition, emotion, learning, and decision-making process. The overarching aim of this volume, therefore, is to provide new insight into a unified grand theory of motivation by integrating noteworthy neuroscience research findings on motivation. This volume is dedicated to advancing our understanding of brain mechanisms of underlying various motivational phenomena, including reward, approach, autonomy, intrinsic motivation, learning, effort, curiosity, and self-control. The volume is divided into four parts: The first part introduces classical but fundamental issues such as reward, approach, and individual differences. The second part deals with intrinsic motivation including autonomy and curiosity. The third one examines recent approaches on the interface between motivation and cognition in learning and decision-making. The last part focuses on practically significant issues pertaining to self-regulation development.

One of the largest and most complex human services systems in history has evolved to address the needs of people with autism and intellectual disabilities, yet important questions remain for many professionals, administrators, and parents.
