Improving Hrd Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilley, Jerry W., PUBLISHER: Krieger Publishing Company, This series, edited by Michael W. Galbraith, explores issues and concerns of practitioners who work in the broad range of settings in adult and continuing education and human resource development. These books provide information and strategies on how to make practice more effective for professionals and those they serve. They are written from a practical viewpoint and provide a forum for instructors, administrators, policy makers, counselors, trainers, managers, program and organizational developers, instructional designers, and other related professionals. Far too many HRD (human resource development) professionals view learning as an end unto itself. As a result, all their efforts are focused toward the number of training programs delivered and the number of employees who participate in training. Little regard is given to the impacts and results of training activity. Over time, this approach does not improve the organization -- which seriously hurts the image and credibility of HRD. This book is designed to provide HRD professionals with a strategically integrated approach; one that helps them overcome the failures of the past while striking a new course for the future. The text provides a comprehensive look at the seven failures of today's HRD practice and provides realistic approaches to improving HRD within an organization. It would be an excellent text for a university course at the masters and doctorate level.

" Themes in Language, Education & Development in Kenya " is a collection of fourteen scholarly articles on aspects of language and its relationship with, society, education and development in Kenya.. The authors follow Morgan Dalphinis remarks that:.".". to speak a language means more than an exercise in the use of a given syntax and morphology, it implies the support of a whole culture and civilization. Moreover, it is in language that people learn, relate to each other as social animals in a material world of production, reproduction, distribution and exchange." " It is not only important to understand specific languages but to also appreciate associated structural linguistics as a means of appreciating the underlying, rich cultural aspects of those languages. In this book, authors capture the richness of language and linguistics aspects of some of Kenyan languages, namely Kiswahili, EkeGusii, Dholuo and Ateso as well as appropriated languages used in Kenya such as English and French. Themes in Language, Education & Development in Kenya discusses aspects of language and its relationship with society, education and development in Kenya. As much as possible, the authors have anchored their arguments on relevant theoretical and conceptual frameworks with chapters written either in English or Kiswahili while the abstracts are written in a different language from that of the body of the chapter. The book is divided into three major themes: " Theoretical Linguistics and Language in Society, Language and Education, and Language and Development. " Educators, students and general readers interested in issues of language, linguistics, pedagogy and development will find great benefit from this book. In particular, students and lecturers of African linguistics, English, Kiswahili, Education and Sociology would be great beneficiaries. What others say This edited volume comprises detailed, substantive, methodological and theoretical research by fine investigators and practitioners in linguistics, English, French, Kiswahili, education and development. It is so detailed and a must-read piece of work for scholars interested in the interface between language and other fields. " -- Bob Mbori, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kakamega " Writing/compiling an edited book requires masterful selection of articles that ensure the common thread runs through the chapters. This book achieves this by putting language firmly in the agenda of education and development in Kenya. " -- Hilary K. Sang, Department of Linguistics and Foreign Languages, Moi University " This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in languages, education and development beyond Kenyan borders. It sets the pace and a new trend for research in African languages. " -- Gilbert Gumoshabe, Makerere University, U
