Abc Analysis For Inventory Management: Bridging The Gap Between Research And Classroom, Handanhal Ravinder, Ram B. Misra
Abc Analysis For Inventory Management: Bridging The Gap Between Research And Classroom, Handanhal Ravinder, Ram B. Misra
Department of Management Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
ABC analysis is a well-established categorization technique based on the Pareto Principle for determining which items should get priority in the management of a company's inventory. In discussing this topic, today's operations management and supply chain textbooks focus on dollar volume as the sole criterion for performing the categorization. The authors argue that today's businesses and supply chains operate in a world where the ability to deliver the right products rapidly to very specific markets is key to survival. With suppliers, intermediaries, and customers all over the globe, and product lives decreasing rapidly, this focus on a single criterion is …
Assessment For “Digital First Language” Speakers: Online Video Assessment And Feedback In Higher Education, Will Turner, John West
Assessment For “Digital First Language” Speakers: Online Video Assessment And Feedback In Higher Education, Will Turner, John West
Research outputs 2013
While feedback has been highlighted as the most powerful influence on student achievement, Weaver (2006) noted that up to 40% of tertiary students lack confidence in their feedback and many students express dissatisfaction with this aspect of their student experience (Rodway-Dyer, Dunne, & Newcombe, 2009). Chasms remain between academic feedback and student feed forward outputs, as research suggests that feedback is undervalued by “unresponsive” tertiary students due to misunderstanding, inconsistencies and lack of clarity, and that feedback is not as effective as staff imagine. This paper explores student and staff perceptions of a video feedback model for tertiary institutions. Each …
Examining Authentic Intellectual Work With A Historical Digital Documentary Inquiry Project In A Mandated State Testing Environment, Kathy Swan, Mark J. Hofer, Gerry Swan
Examining Authentic Intellectual Work With A Historical Digital Documentary Inquiry Project In A Mandated State Testing Environment, Kathy Swan, Mark J. Hofer, Gerry Swan
Articles
Three criteria for meaningful student learning--construction of knowledge, disciplined inquiry, and value beyond school--are assessed as authentic learning outcomes for an implementation of a digital documentary project in two fifth grade history classrooms where teachers' practices are constrained by a high-stakes testing climate. In all three areas, there was ample evidence of student engagement in authentic intellectual work in the student-created movies. Only when teachers are ambitious in looking beyond test score outcomes will students have opportunities for meaningful and authentic intellectual experiences.

Grounded Tech Integration: An Effective Approach Based On Content, Pedagogy, And Teacher Planning, Judi Harris, Mark J. Hofer
Articles
Successful technology integration must focus on standards-based, curriculum-related learning outcomes rather than on the technologies themselves. In the first installment of a seven-part series, we offer a grounded approach to technology integration based on content, pedagogy, and how teachers plan instruction.
Social Perspective Taking: Advancing Empathy And Advocating Justice, Francisco Rios, Allen Trent, Lillian Vega Castañeda
Social Perspective Taking: Advancing Empathy And Advocating Justice, Francisco Rios, Allen Trent, Lillian Vega Castañeda
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this article, the authors attempt to employ a pedagogical tool, social perspective-taking, as a way to engage their students in the act of critical self-reflection, from a personal and professional point of view. The use of perspective taking devices, especially around issues of diversity (e.g., race, class, gender, ethnicity, and language) is useful in their work as teacher educators who care about social justice. It allows them to engage their students in activity that draws upon their insider knowledge (e.g., what it is to be a member of a given group, whether it is privileged or disadvantaged) and lived …

Fostering Liberatory Teaching: A Proposal For Revising Instructional Assessment Practices, Jane E. Hindman
Publications and Research
Appraises the assumptions that drive standard evaluation methods and compares them to those assumptions that undergird more critical approaches to teaching. Presents an alternative teacher evaluation instrument and explains how it more accurately measures what is said and believed to be effective teaching. Offers statistical evidence supporting the instrument and suggests further steps to foster teaching practices
