Level Of Analysis

As diverse members of a college of education evaluation committee one of our charges is to support faculty as we document and improve our teaching. Our committee asked faculty to respond to three qualitative questions, documenting ways in which interdepartmental and cross-department conversations are used to promote reflective thinking about our practice. Three of us investigated the use of CAQDAS to provide an additional level of analysis and how we learned more about ourselves as scholars through this collaboration. Our findings include recommendations regarding the use of CAQDAS to support collaborative efforts by diverse scholars.

Sports Coaches

Although high-performance (HP) coaches’ learning journeys are idiosyncratic and winding, most of these coaches share the characteristic of having rich experiences as athletes. Studies on the career transition of HP athletes to sports coaches reveal a sharp disagreement between these incoming coaches with their practice field experience and national governing bodies responsible for coach education programs about what is needed to be certified. This article presents a tailored initiative to support an HP athlete (Dan) in his process of “becoming” a certified HP coach in the Canadian context. This unique project took shape from a collaborative effort to combine elements of two opposing views on learning: off-the-job versus workplace learning. The article provides details on (a) the coaching context, (b) the main supportive others, and (c) the tools used to document the coaching topics that emerged from Dan’s coaching practice, as well as the learning material used, discussed, and created. When all the above content and materials were carefully organized and placed into folders, a unique “emerging curriculum” was formed and presented to the members of an evaluation committee who agreed that Dan met the HP coach certification criteria.

Selection Of

The process of selecting cultivars is discussed from the viewpoints of both plant breeder and crop evaluation committee. Although there are differences in emphasis, both are faced with difficulties in selecting quantitatively on antagonistic traits. A general unweighted multivariate procedure is outlined, including suggestions for adaption to particular circumstances. An example is given of the proposed multivariate performance index for identifying superior performing corn hybrids.Key words: Antagonistic traits, multivariate selection, corn hybrids

The Impact

In a study designed to examine the impact of knowledge of a job holder's gender and the dominant gender of a job evaluation committee on job evaluation ratings, knowledge of job holder gender was found to significantly bias committee ratings. The same position was rated more highly when it was held by a male than when it was held by a female, regardless of whether the job evaluation committee was dominated by males or females. This evidence of gender-based discrimination underscores the importance of maintaining anonymity of job holders when conducting job evaluation. Unavoidable bias, which may occur in smaller organizations where the identities of job holders are known, suggests that mandating job evaluation as a means of implementing of comparable worth may be only a partial solution at best.
