Processes, performance drivers an ict tools in human resources management.

by Amstrong.

A strategic, integrated and coherent approach to the employment,

development and well being of the people working in organization

Activities

• strategic human resources management
• human capital management
• corporate social responsibility
• knowledge management
• resourcing

Performance drivers:

The term “performance driver” will be henceforth (from this time onwards) use to mark activities that increase potential to achieve higher level of corporate performance.

Kaplan:

“ what must the company deliver to its costumers to achieve high degrees of satisfaction, retention, acquisition and , eventually, market share?”

Grundy and brown:

“one of the methods for implementing human resources strategy, because it helps to diagnose organizational performance, either externally or internally or both.

Practical feedback.

Feedback loop:

Channel or pathway formed by an 'effect' returning to its 'cause,' and generating either more or less of the same effect. A dialogue is an example of a feedback loop.

The traslation competence model

The traslation competence model

wha is a translater?

Is aperson who expresses in a language what is written in another language. (translation competence)

Saint Jerom

he traslated the biblefrom the hebrew to de latin of the people in the 4^th centrury.

Translation competence

Even those discussions of translation competence in translation studies that strive towards the Chomskyan understanding tend to include aspects of, or be akin to, the Human resources and Social Competence definitions. For example, PACTE (2000, 100) claim to have borrowed the notion of translation competence “from the idea of linguistic competence”, but they define translation competence as including an array of knowledges, skills and abilities which vary between individuals and which would never find their way into the notion of linguistic competence.

Different authors have developed the term communicative competence:

Chomski-1957

Hymes-1967

Olivia-1998

Forgas-2003

The history of translation competence Translation competence has been one of the important subjects of interest and a matter of discussion among scholars and translation researchers in the last three to four decades. There are two reasons for this statement. The first one is according to Pym since the 1970s the concept of translation competence has been viewed as at least "1) a mode of bilingualism, 2) a question of market demands, 3) a multi-component competence, involving sets of skills that are linguistic, cultural, technological and professional, and 4) a super-competence that would somehow stand above the rest". The other reason is seen as the date of the following researches which also shows since 1971 so far translation competence has been the area of interest of many researchers.

 Instrumental.

1) Translation competence and its sub-competencies

2) Communicative competence

3) Extra-linguistic competence

4) Transfer competence

5) Instrumental/professional competence

6) Psycho-physiological competence

7) Strategic competence

 

ict enhancing teaching and learning process

 

 

Education around the world is experiencing major paradim shifts in educational practices of teaching and learning under the umbrella of ICT enabled learning environment. Whereas learning through facts, drill and practices, rules and procedures was more adaptive in earlier days, learning through projects and problems, inquiry and design, discovery and invention, creativity and diversity, action and reflection is perhaps more fitting for the present times. The major hallmark of this learning transition is from teacher centered to learner focus paradigm. 

 

 

The Use of ICT in Teaching:

 

The use of Information and Communication: Technology for teaching in classroom has changed the very nature of learning and there fore still remains and emerging trend. The ICT assisted way of teaching acts as a catalyst in the classroom. The introduction of the technological devices in the teaching field as gained popularity. The reasons for the success of the ICT in teaching are:

 

1. ICT in teaching reduces the traditional barrier between the teacher and the learner

2. This method is learner-centered. 

3. It is effective for it teaches and entertains at the same time.

4. User friendly technology which could be accessed beyond the class room hours.

5. It enhances the learning language sills listening, speaking, reading, and writing catering to individual needs.

 

 

 

 

Key emerging findings

The study found that in the case study schools:

•Overall the motivational impact of ICT was positive. However the circumstances and ways in which ICT was used affected the outcomes.

•The forms of motivation which arose as a result of ICT use were concerned with a commitment to learn, more than with a mere completion of tasks or to gain a competitive edge. This was more the case with primary pupils than secondary pupils, but true of both groups.

•ICT had a positive motivational impact on the following learning processes:

•engagement (through visual, kin-aesthetic and auditory means);

• research (access to a wide range of resources from which to search and select);

• writing and editing (through offering pupils ways to commit ideas more readily and edit to far greater extents than before) and;

• presentation (through enabling them to present work neatly and professionally).

• The types of ICT that pupils found particularly useful were: the Internet, interactive white boards, writing and publishing software and presentational software.

•There was evidence that ICT impacted positively on pupils’ attitudes towards and engagement with their school work and some evidence from pupils and school staff that behavior in class was better when ICT was used.

•Through improving motivation, ICT impacted on the quality of pupils’ work, but for potential attainment outcomes to be fully realised, ICT needs to be used to support subject learning, that is, to impact on pupils’ subject-specific learning processes, rather than just addressing issues relating to engagement and presentation of work.

Methodology

Seventeen case study schools from across England ere selected on the recommendation of external observers including Becta, Ofsted and LEAs, as representing good practice in the use of ICT.

 

St. Vanlente's Day

 
St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. The story of Valentine's Day begins in the third century with an oppressive Roman emperor Claudius II and a humble Christian Martyr.When Claudius discovered Valentine’s acts of defiance, he had him killed immediately. Valentine was later canonized by the Vatican and, in the 5th century, February 14th was named his feast day, the day designated by the church to honor and commemorate a saint’s life.

Now we believe that St. Valentine's day expressed love. 

The St. Valentine's day is characterizer by: 

Rich root because coming for the 5th century and are charged of history.

Notable events; through  the time exists many events that was taken place in the date(the most notorious is 1929’s St. Valentine's Day Massacre).

Tradition of Valentine's Cards

Over the centuries, the holiday evolved, and by the 18th century, gift-giving and exchanging handmade cards on Valentine's Day had become common in England. Hand-made valentine cards made of lace, ribbons, and featuring cupids and hearts eventually spread to the American colonies. The tradition of Valentine's cards did not become widespread in the United States, however, until the 1850s, when Esther A. Howland, a Mount Holyoke graduate and native of Worcester, Mass., began mass-producing them. Today, of course, the holiday has become a booming commercial success. According to the Greeting Card Association, 25% of all cards sent each year are valentines.

ICT for translation and interpretation

“Without a new generation of trained linguists and professionals with language skills, international organisations will be unable to perform their vital tasks”

For the learning experience to be consistent with the demands and expectations of the current market, ICT need to be considered and integrated in the training process.

Electromechanical era

                                                                                      Electronics engineering

Voltaic battery

Invented by Alessandro Volta in 1799. The voltaic pile was the first electrical battery that could continuously provide an electric current to a circuit. 

Telegraph 

It superseded optical semaphore telegraph systems, such as Claude Chappe's towers designed for communication among the French military, and Friedrich Clemens Gerke for the Prussian military, thus becoming the first form of electrical telecommunications.

In 1753 an anonymous writer in the Scots Magazine suggested an electrostatic telegraph. Using one wire for each letter of the alphabet, a message could be transmitted by connecting the wire terminals in turn to an electrostatic machine, and observing the deflection of pith balls at the far end.

Telephone

Antonio Meucci, 1854, constructed telephone-like devices.

The invention of the telephone was the culmination of work done by many individuals, and involved an array of lawsuits founded upon the patent claims of several individuals and numerous companies.

Through failed attempts to use "make-and-break" current, to successful experiments with electromagnetic telephones by Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson, and finally commercially successful telephones in the late 19th century.

Radio

Radio has it's roots in the telegraph, invented by Guglielmo Marconi and patented in 1896 in England. Marconi's telegraph, sending transatlantic messages in Morse code, quickly became a commercial success and the dominant means of wireless marine communication at the beginning of the 20th century.

                                   Electromechanical computing

 Tabulations machines

The tabulating machine was an electromechanical machine designed to assist in summarizing information and, later, accounting. Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census. It spawned a class of machines, known as unit record equipment, and the data processing industry.

Comptometer

The comptometer was the first commercially successful key-driven mechanical calculator, patented in the USA by Dorr E. Felt in 1887.

Comptograph

 

A machine for adding numbers and making a printed record of the sum. The original comptometer design was patented by Dorr E. Felt, a citizen of the United States. The first two patents were granted on July 19, 1887 and on October 11, 1887.

punched cards

Herman Hollerith invented the recording of data on a medium that could then be read by a machine. Prior uses of machine readable media, such as those above (other than Korsakov), had been for control, not data. "After some initial trials with paper tape, he settled on punched cards

The mechanical era (1623-1945)

The mechanical era was the first generation in the history of Computing.

The machines from the mechanical era

 The first computer was considered the abacus, this instrument helps to count, has been created in Babylonia around 2000 years before own era.




In 1462 Blaise pascal created a machine that could add and subtract numbers. Dials were used to enter the numbers. It also correctly handled carries, such as when the numbers 19 and 13 are added. The machine would produce the correct answer of 32 since it correctly carried the 1 from adding 9 and 3.

Joseph-Marie Jacquard in 1801 Created a machine called the Jacquard Loom that ushered in the era of mechanization in textile production.

Charles Babbage Designed in 1822 a machine called the Difference Engine whose goal was to automatically calculate entries in navigation and other tables in order to produce these tables more quickly and with fewer errors. in the age 1833 designed a machine called the Analytical Engine.

In this time Ava  Lovelace She wrote programs for the Analytical Engine using punched cards created by Herman Hollerith
