2. Determining Educator Ethical Decision-Making Factors Using the Jones Model

Author

Dawson, Shirley and Napper, Vicki

Abstract

Despite the presence of codes and laws, ethical decision-making by educators continues to elude understanding. The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore factors in education ethical decision-making that may influence teacher behaviors in order to develop training materials for future teachers. Previously vetted scenarios based on actual educator misconduct were presented online to preservice teachers to identify agreement with constructs and intensity of moral concern as proposed in the Jones Model of Ethical Decision-Making (1991). Codes and laws focused on the results of decision-making do not probe the reasons behind immoral actions. Based on current survey data, educators can identify situations of differing moral intensity, determine moral intensity quickly, and make decisions about moral intensity based on various factors from personal experience and backgrounds.

19. The Job Task Model as a Means for Understanding Computer Usage in the Work Place

Abstract

A qualitative study of a workplace was conducted through the use of interviews and observation of ten participants working in hardware and software engineering. The study arose from a lack of information on computer usage in workplace settings and a lack of identified functional needs for skills-based training. There were three primary guiding questions and areas of findings in this study: l. Does the job task model define the areas of computer literacy for the individual worker? The job task model proved to be an effective method for analyzing tasks, tools, and the environment for usage of computer technologies in specialized professions. II. Does the type of job task influence the functional needs for computer usage in the areas of training, hardware and software usage, application of individual anthropometric data, and workstation design? The job tasks did not influence how the participants were trained in the use of computers. The primary method of learning to use computer hardware and software was through self-instruction. However, the type of job task did influence the type of hardware and software needed to perform a task. Professional employees needed to know how to use both general and specific types of hardware and software. The job task affected the ergonomic arrangement of work areas, but the participants generally lacked training in how to identify and correct risk factors that may lead to computer-related injury. III. What are the stress factors in this workplace setting? Do the stress factors influence computer-related injury rates in this workplace and if so, how can those types of injuries be reduced? The stress factors identified in this setting included job demand factors, psychosocial factors, and ergonomic factors. Although these types of stress factors have been associated with computer-related injury through research, none of the participants reported injury associated with computer usage. It was also found that the participants did not consider musculoskeletal disorders to be injuries but rather illnesses. Implications of the study suggest that the job task model provides a balanced approach to the design of instructional materials. Further, by allowing one category of the job task model to be dominant in the instructional content also appears to weaken the overall instructional validity.

Author

Napper, Vicki, Hadley, Kristin, and Yeaman, Andrew R. J.

Subjects
*CHILDREN & pornography, *INTERNET & children, *SEXUAL ethics, *NEUROSCIENTISTS, *FREEDOM of speech, *CHILD welfare
Abstract

The article presents an analysis on how an Educational Technology instructor deals with the student's sexually explicit behavior. Since there is no stringent policy regarding the situation, the instructor struggles with the differences of laws in relation to pornography. An eminent neuroscientist notes that the new media technologies are influencing the minds of the children. The "Children's Internet Protection Act," which limits the children's exposure to pornography and explicit content online and the "Child Pornography Prevention Act," giving the right freedom of speech are also discussed.

*SCHOOL supplies, *LEARNING ability, *LEARNING, *CHAIRS, *FURNITURE, *STUDENTS, *EDUCATION, *SCHOOL facilities, *COMPUTATION laboratories
Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the school problem on the chairs used in its computer laboratory. It presents the scenario where the problem arises. The analysis showed that traditional school chairs are not designed for keyboarding at a computer station. The height of the chair seat and of the work surface are important factors which should be taken into considerations. The result recommends that adjustable furniture would help the students in their learning process, taking into account their physical abilities.
