How to Use Problem-based Learning in the Classroom

Engaging and motivating students--especially the least motivated learners--is a daily challenge. But with the process of problem-based learning (PBL), any teacher can create an exciting, active classroom where students themselves eagerly build problem-solving skills while learning the content necessary to apply them. With problem-based learning, students' work begins with an ill-defined problem. Key to this problem is how it explicitly links something important in students daily lives to the classroom. This motivational feature is vital as students define the what, where, and how of resolving the problem situation. Problem-based learning may sound potentially chaotic and haphazard, but it rests on the firm foundation of a teacher's work behind the scenes. The teacher develops a problem long before students see it, specifically choosing the skills and content the problem will emphasize and matching those to curriculum and standards. Though a PBL problem will have no "right" answer, the teacher structures the experience so that specific learning takes place as students generate the problem-solving steps, research issues, and produce a final product. The teacher guides without leading, assists without directing.

Public Budgeting Systems

Public Budgeting Systems

Now in its Ninth Edition, Public Budgeting Systems is a complete and balanced reference that surveys the current state of budgeting throughout all levels of the United States government. The text emphasizes methods by which financial decisions are reached within a system as well as ways in which different types of information are used in budgetary decision-making. It also stresses the use of program information, since, for decades, budget reforms have sought to introduce greater program considerations into financial decisions. The Ninth Edition has been updated to give particular attention to several recent developments in public budgeting and finance including: • Steps that have been taken by governments to battle the effects of the “Great Recession” and to enhance economic recovery. In the US, this includes the actions of the Federal Reserve as well as legislative efforts, such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. • Significant increase in use of fiscal policy tools to stimulate economic recovery, in contrast to most recent previous 20 year period. • The federal government’s direct role in the operations of the private sector will be explored. The government has become a major stockholder and therefore has a financial stake in seeing that corporations succeed. • Unprecedented federal deficits, as well as extreme budgetary challenges at the state and local level, including a discussion of causes and possible solutions. • Other changes during the Obama presidency, including the passage of comprehensive health care reform and changes in the management agenda. • Continued developments in financial and debt management, including additional GASB requirements and the effects of the recent economic contraction on the borrowing prospects for state and local governments. • Additional recognition of the effects of the global economy, resulting in an increase in the pages devoted to discussing international examples.

Can Nations Agree?

In the age of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, a new international trade in industrial and human waste, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect, the importance of international cooperation is supremely evident. In the economic arena, such problems include speculative instability in financial and primary commodities markets, competition in tax regimes, and the greatly enhanced scope for tax evasion. Can Nations Agree? examines the crucial issues surrounding international cooperation-- conditions that foster cooperation toward common goals; ways to handle the friction arising from conflicting goals; and the structures that best promote cooperation. Although nations recognize the value of cooperation in an independent world, a variety of conditions inhibit the process. In recent decades the number of independent nations has risen rapidly, and so has the variety of decisionmakers and national interests to be reconciled. At the same time, the economic power of the United States has declined in relation to other successful capitalist countries. In the chapters on the 1978 Bonn economic summit, German macroeconomic policy, international cooperation on public health issues, and hegemony and stability, the scholars contributing to this volume analyze the history and process of international cooperation to offer fresh insight for future efforts.

"Dalam karya fiksi yang sangat lucu ini, Gilbreath membawa kita ke dalam perjalanan fantastis menuju 'neraka' bersama dua belas orang manajer. Setiap kisah dalam buku ini mengandung pelajaran berharga bagi perbaikan praktik manajemen kita." Majalah Business Ethics "Sebuah buku super! Betul-betul kontribusi yang luar biasa bagi literatur manajemen. Buku ini lucu, mencerahkan, dan asyik dibaca. Menurut saya buku ini lebih bagus daripada Zapp, One Minute Manager, dan Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun." Chip R. Bell, penulis Magnetic Service Dalam perjalanan pulang dari sebuah konferensi, tiba-tiba saja dua belas orang eksekutif terdampar di neraka. Ini bukanlah neraka biasa, tapi Neraka Manajemen, tempat menghukum para manajer penuh dosa. Satu-satunya cara keluar dari sana adalah dengan menyampaikan cerita yang bisa membuat penjaga neraka itu kagum. Secara bergiliran, mereka harus menyampaikan cerita yang mengandung kearifan manajemen. Cerita itu juga harus mengungkapkan kebodohan-kebodohan dan kesalahan-kesalahan dalam praktik bisnis mereka. Mereka semua tidak akan bisa keluar dari sana jika satu orang saja di antara mereka gagal. Sepanjang buku ini, Anda akan mengikuti 12 kisah seru yang mengambil setting di pelbagai tempat eksotis--dari Romawi kuno, peradaban Aztec, hingga Samudra Pasifik--dengan tokoh-tokoh cerita dan situasi yang akrab bagi Anda yang berkecimpung di dunia bisnis dan manajemen. Pelajaran-pelajaran yang terkandung dalam kisah-kisah itu dapat membantu Anda--para manajer dan karyawan pada semua tingkatan struktural--keluar dari "neraka manajemen" Anda sendiri.

Clinical Pharmacist's Guide to Biostatistics and Literature Evaluation

Whether you are interpreting the medical literature to optimize patient care, improve health outcomes, or generate hypothesis for research, an understanding of biostatistics is essential for success. Despite exposure to biostatistics in undergraduate and professional education, pharmacists tend to be less confident in their knowledge of biostatistics and their ability to interpret the medical literature than in their clinical skills. This book was developed to bolster the pharmacist's knowledge and confidence for using biostatistical tools for interpreting the literature. With material drawn from ACCP's renowned Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) and the live pharmacotherapy preparatory course Updates in Therapeutics, editor Robert DiCenzo, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, has designed this review to support pharmacists' preparation for the Pharmacotherapy and Ambulatory Care Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) examinations.
