MENTAL SKILLS Assessment of mental skills For this research paper, a basketball team was to evaluate mental abilities. The profiling scale selected is the Likert scale. A Likert scale is a rating scale that gauges opinions or attitudes. Respondents rate items according to their level of agreement. According to Bertram (2007), the five-point range is the most common type of Likert scale, and each has a numerical figure assigned to it as shown below; Strongly agree Agree Not sure/ do not know Disagree Strongly agree The relative clarity obtained from the answers influenced the choice of the Likert scale in collecting quantitative data. the responses give varying degrees of intensity of opinion on the subject at hand.it also offers security to respondents through anonymity and resultant confidentiality associated with it. (McLeod, 2019) The mental skills that will be evaluated include imagery, attitude, managing anxiety, goal-setting, motivation, and concentration. These skills are critical influences on team performances and results. Off the Liker scale, the team was fragile in imagery and visualization, as evidenced by the results strongly disagreed that the team’s…
Julie’s Food Booth Case Study Introduction Julia Food Booth is a sole proprietorship business that Julia is consider opening as an option to finance her final year at school. The business is to be operated during football matches in a stadium booth. The management of the stadium only allows anyone operating the booths to sell fast food or drinks, but not both. Currently, Julia has $1500 for the purchase of food to sell in the booth. The linear problem that can be formulated for Julia is profit maximization. Therefore, for the conditions given in the case study, the paper is divided into five sections, introduction, part A (formulation of linear program and solution), part B (borrowing consideration), part C (hiring), and part D (uncertainties). Part A The conditions for Julia’s food booth are: the food items to sell are: Cheese pizza, Hot dog, and Barbecue sandwiches. The booth costs $1000 per game, and the Oven cost $6000 for 6-home games pers season, implying that it cost $1000 per game. The oven is made up of 16 selves each 3 x…
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” Enacting Critical Pedagogies of Hip-Hop in Mainstream Schools I found the paper “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” Enacting Critical Pedagogies of Hip-Hop in Mainstream Schools as being intriguing. For many years, Hip-Hop culture and music have been used in classroom settings. I concur with the author that Hip-hop is a powerful tool for engaging with marginalized youths. While the author points to the exponential growth of Hip-hop, I am of the idea that it is yet to attain a subjective definition (Kelly and Sawyer, 2019). My argument rests on the fact that most of the classroom uses of Hip-hop tend to be contradictory. There is thus the need to view it beyond the music lens. It is also a culture that incorporates different meanings and identities. It was ingenious of the author to refer to the theories of Hip-hop education. Critical pedagogy approach to Hip-hop calls for an evaluation of social relations, how they develop or limit the expansion of critical thoughts and ways students can become critical actors. However, I think that…
learning the basic skills of measuring objects using standard methods and tools Objective The objective of this test is to learn the basic skills of measuring objects using standard methods and tools. Introduction Measurements are part and parcel of the engineering profession. It is a practical field where much of the data gathered is application based. In a practical scenario, many of the tools used for measurement are assembled in various industries. Therefore, the tools have their working ranges and their limitations. Understanding the tools of taking measurements is important in having a good feel for tolerances and dimensions for one’s design. This involves making sure that the measurement tools and methods complement each other to ensure that the whole system functions seamlessly. For instance, accurate tools are essential in getting tight tolerances. Thus, a larger expenditure and more time are allocated in acquiring accurate tools for getting tight tolerances. A loose tolerance, on the other hand, will cost more money and time due to the high rejection rate. Tools come into play when measuring objects. Measuring accuracy…
Lifespan Development and Personality Paper Introduction Psychology is the study of the human being and the behaviors which they show or exhibit now and then as they go on with their daily activities. It involves many fields, which include human development and social behaviors, not forgetting the cognitive processes involved (McLead, What Is Psychology? 2019). Developmental psychology is a logical methodology that intends to clarify development, change, and consistency; however, life expectancy. Formative brain research sees how thinking, feeling, and conduct change all through an individual’s life. A noteworthy extent of hypotheses inside this order center upon improvement during youth, as this is the period during a person’s life expectancy when the most change happens (McLead, 2017). Formative therapists study a broad scope of hypothetical regions, for example, organic, social, enthusiastic, and intellectual procedures. To portray development, it is essential to concentrate both on regular examples of progress regularizing improvement. The singular varieties in cases of progression (for instance, idiographic advancement). Although there are common pathways of development that a great many people will follow, no two people are similar.…
Cognitive Recall Assignment: Autonomy Library instructors have a critical role in any learning environment or institution. They deal with a wide variety of students, including adults pursuing higher education. Information literacy will only matter to learners if library instructors develop ways of understanding learners’ both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, including their desires. The methods are diverse, and none is specific to any library. Answer to Question 1 Library instructors may use intrinsic motivating factors such as the setting of goals that are specific to each student; the goals may relate to self-esteem according to the availability of performance feedback. Students tend to exert effort if the tasks given stimulate curiosity through uncertainty or challenge and if it promotes satisfaction through a sense of completeness or self-control (Kurti, Kurti & Fleming, 2014). According to a neurological study, curiosity makes the brains more receptive towards learning, as students learn, the more they enjoy the learning sensation. This research discovered that once curiosity had been sparked in students by asking of the right question, there was an increased activity within the hippocampus, the…
Stages of Literacy Traditionally, mainstream handbooks and dictionary define literacy as the ability to read and write. As a way of incorporating the context, UNESCO defines literacy as the ability to identify, interpret, create, understand, compute, and communicate using written and printed materials associated with different contexts. From the above definition, it is evident that literacy is a complex process. As a result, literacy is a process that develops in five stages. STAGE 1: INITIAL READING, WRITING, AND DECODING The first literacy stage typically occurs when the child is between six and seven years old. During this stage, the child learns the relation between sounds and letters as well as between spoken words and print. The child can only comprehend simple texts containing words that are frequently used and that are phonically regular. At this level, children use insight and skills to “sound out” new vocabularies. In terms of reading, the child at this stage can move from free scribbling to controlled scribbling, and lastly, to nonphonetic letter strings (De Souza and Gilberto). STAGE 2: CONFIRMATION AND FLUENCY…
Language about God Introduction People are increasingly having discomfort in the description of God in the feminine gender. This is due to the patriarchy trends throughout the Bible and other Canons. The older people have a problem with accepting such arguments since from the past, patriarchy has been the norm, and therefore any criticism is unwelcome. Patriarchy is the design of society in the context of male dominance, where the family is recognized through the father or the eldest son. This tends to be the social discrimination of women since they are put under male dominance. Patriarchy makes people feel uncomfortable with female Images of power due to the traditions that are rooted in the past. Even in the Bible, God appeared to appear before men, and changing the norm is not easy. Muslims also have had long histories of patriarchy and male involvement with the Divine One. Feminists believe that patriarchy destroys the humanity of both women and men since women are overlooked. Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Feminists are against the portrayal of God as a male. They argue…
Language acquisition and development In the development of a toddler, language acquisition and development is one of the critical signs of growth and development. As the toddler grows, the acquisition and development of language are affected by various interplaying factors. One of the factors affecting the acquisition and development of language in toddlers are social factors. The ability of a toddler to acquire a given language and develop in the language will depend on the actions of people who surround the toddler. For instance, a toddler can conclude from the facial expressions of adults. An excited face from an adult enables the toddler to draw the conclusions that he words he or she heard are exciting words, and hence the memory saves the conclusion. The perceptual skill of the toddler influences the acquisition and development of language. The auditory perceptual skills in between the sixth and twelfth month will set the pace for speech development by the 23rd month. Conceptualizing allows the toddlers to relate different terms with their relevant actions. The words that refer to ideas of time, size,…
Reflecting On General Education Introduction Rigorous education courses have the ability to deepen our educational experiences and enable us continued success (Austin 2011).General education classes help students build a solid foundation .They are designed to harness a base of knowledge to carry students through a lifetime ,not just a specific career .These are valuable assets in a new era of workers. In the modern world it is common for individuals to shift careers seven times throughout their life (Bialik 2010).The general education classes here helped me to build my critical thinking, computer and writing skills, as well as, grow my interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, outward perspectives and moral reasoning. I found this to be especially useful as the difficulty of my courses increased. My Bachelors in Environmental Studies will make me eligible for a job market that I otherwise would not even be considered for. As a student I have gained a deep, comparative knowledge of the world’s peoples and problems. And am able to, Explore the historical legacies that have created the dynamics and tensions of the world .Recognize…
