الإدارة بالنتائج
ما السبب وراء أهمية تقييم النتائج داخل المؤسسات ؟ إذا كانت هناك رغبة في أن تدخل عملية تنمية الموارد البشرية في مصاف العمليات الأساسية داخل المؤسسات، فلا بد من أن تتكاتف كل الجهود في سبيل تحقيق ذلك. فتقييم النتائج، ولا سيما النتائج المتعلقة بالأداء، من الأمور الأساسية للحصول على دعم الإدارة العليا. ولذلك، فإن القائمين على تقييم النتائج عادة ما يكتشفون أنها مصدر مهم لتحسين البرامج وتطويرها، كما أنه مدعاة للتفاخر والرضاء فيما بينهم. تعتبر النتائج من الأمور المهمة نظريا، التي لها جذور راسخة في جوانب التطبيق العملي. وفي هذا الصدد، تساعد عملية التقييم ذات المراحل الخمس في اصطحاب القراء في رحلة بسيطة ومباشرة تبدأ من مدخلات التحليل وتنتهي بالمخرجات أو النتائج. ولذلك، يوفر الكتاب الأدوات المطلوبة لتقييم جيد ومؤثر للنتائج المتمخضة عنها مجهودات التطوير داخل المؤسسات. لا شك أن قسم الموارد البشرية من أوائل الأقسام التي يجب أن تهتم بتقييم النتائج داخل المؤسسات. وللحفاظ على هذا الدور وأهميته، يجب أن يحرص العاملون فيه على الاستفادة من الكتاب كدليل عملي مهم يستفيدون منه في تصميم خطط ناجحة لتنمية الموارد البشرية، وتلبية احتياجات العملاء، والنهوض بمستوى المؤسسات. وقد حرص المؤلفان على سرد مختلف التفاصيل المتعلقة ببرنامج التقييم الذي يتميز بالفاعلية وسهولة التعلم وموثوقية الاستخدام لتقييم مختلف النتائج داخل المؤسسة، وذلك في ثلاثة نطاقات مختلفة : الأداء (نتائج النظام والأداء المالي)، التعلم (نتائج المعرفة والخبرة)، الآراء (آراء المشاركين وأصحاب المصلحة)

Theory building in applied disciplines
A Comprehensive Method, Tools, and Techniques for Building Sound TheoryRichard Swanson and Thomas Chermack present a complete five-step approach for developing sound theory in applied disciplines, from conceptualizing a theory to creating relevant assessment criteria, establishing a research agenda to test the theory's validity, applying the theoretical concepts in the real world, and using that experience to further refine and improve the theory. The method is not restricted to any single discipline, nor is it limited by any research ideology. The authors provide a set of tools for each phase of the process, making this book accessible to a wide audience. And in addition to examples in each chapter, they offer two extended case examples of full theory building.

The adult learner : the definitive classic in adult education and human resource development
\"How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles' pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 8th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised and updated. Holton and Swanson have enlivened the latest edition in terms of content and style. The new supporting website and added chapter level reflection questions make this latest edition more accessible than ever. This new edition includes: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. Addition of two new chapters: on related cutting edge realms, Neuroscience & Learning and Information Technology & Learning. Creation of a supporting website: This website for The Adult Learner 8th Edition will provide basic instructor aids. For each chapter there will be a PowerPoint presentation, learning exercises, and added study questions. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without\"-- Provided by publisher.
