Performance improvement: The means to process improvement

Successful problem solving and improvement require more than the discovery of a workable solution. At some point, the results need to become part of daily routines and locked in place so that these new practices do not revert to old, less productive habits. Using performance improvement steps to secure the change can ensure that process owners will not revisit the same set of issues in the future.

A performance technologist's approach to process performance improvement

Process performance management provides detailed understanding of the design of a process to improve performance. This article highlights a process performance model aligned with the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) steps of the Six Sigma model, but with additional substeps to guide process improvement. It thus identifies process improvement as one of the key tools in the performance technologist's toolkit and provides recommendations for methods, practices, and tools.

Performance improvement/HPT model: Guiding the process

This commentary is part of an ongoing dialogue that began in the October 2011 special issue of Performance Improvement—Exploring a Universal Performance Model for HPT: Notes From the Field. The authors feel that the performance improvement/HPT model in its past, present, and potential future iterations is not the only model for our field; however, it makes a systematic and flexible contribution to the field.

浅析高校健美操的教学现状和改善措施

健美操集舞蹈、体操、音乐于一体,变化多样,节奏感强,不仅能够增进健康,还能陶冶情操,培养出良好的情绪魅力以吸引大众,而且内容丰富,不受场地限制,简单易学,非常符合高校学生的心理特点,因此很受高校学生的欢迎。不过,从实际情况看,当前高校健美操的教学质量徘徊不前,与学生的高标准存在很大差距。本文就当前高校健美操的教学现状进行分析,提出相应的改善措施,以求最大程度提升健美操的教学质量。     

Knowing and doing vocational education and training reform: Evidence,learning and the policy process

Much of VET policy internationally draws on a toolkit that has been seriously questioned for its logic, international relevance and effectiveness by considerable amounts of academic research. Reflecting primarily on our experiences of leading a complex, multi-country policy study, we develop an account that seeks to explore ways in which the apparent incommensurability between academic and policy knowledge can be addressed. This leads on to a broader discussion of key issues of contestation in the debates about knowledge for policy as they relate to international education and development more generally. We consider three key turns in the discourse of international education policy and research: to “governing by numbers”, “what works” and policy learning, and ask what happens when these discursive trends travel to Southern and VET contexts. We suggest that this analysis implies that policymakers need both to be more modest and reflexive in their expectations of what knowledge can be mobilised for policy purposes and more serious in their commitment to supporting the generation of the types of knowledge that they claim to value. For international and comparative educators, we stress the importance of being clearer in seeking to shape research agendas; more rigorous in our approaches to research; and better in our external communication of our findings. Given the particular focus of this special issue on VET, we end by reiterating the particular challenge of reawakening research on VET-for-development from twenty years of slumber.
