Coaching for Health: Why it works and how to do it - Arti Maini - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

Coaching for Health: Why it works and how to do it - Arti Maini - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

This book has a radical new message for any clinician: through coaching you reduce your own stress and you get far better outcomes for patients. ‘Coaching for health’ means creating a different relationship in consultations, asking a different kind of question and giving information in a different way. It goes beyond what is usually meant by ‘patient-centred practice’. It will work with virtually any patient. When you take a coaching approach the chances are that your patients gain confidence in managing their own health, reduce the number of appointments they request, are less likely to need emergency admissions and are more likely to take their medication. Coaching is not just a technique that you switch on and off, it is a wholly different mindset. Coaching for Health explains the rationale for a coaching approach and gives pragmatic step by step help on how to do it. The authors - one an executive coach, one a doctor - write from their extensive, collective experience. Having trained many hundreds of clinicians in coaching skills, Jenny Rogers and Arti Maini have seen firsthand how transforming it can be to use in practice. "In a clear and convincing manner, Jenny Rogers and Art Maini offer a range of practical methods for turning health care consultations into a genuinely patient-led form of dialogue." John Launer, Associate Dean for Faculty Development, Health Education England, UK "A gem of a book...The combination of Jenny''s accessible style and wisdom with Arti''s extensive experience of adopting a coaching approach with patients has produced a winner." Lis Paice OBE FRCP, author of New Coach: reflections from a learning journey, UK

Understanding, Designing and Conducting Qualitative Research in Education - John Schostak - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

Understanding, Designing and Conducting Qualitative Research in Education - John Schostak - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

- How do I get my research off the ground and ensure that it is ''new'', ''novel'' and ''important''? - How do I make sense of data, build theories and write a compelling thesis? - How can my research bring about change? This book is more than an introduction to doing research - it helps readers identify what is new and important about their project, how their research relates to previous work and how it may be used to bring about change at individual, community, national or even international levels. A total strategy is offered focussing on the notion of the ''project'' as an organising framework that ensures that the methods chosen are appropriate to the subject and aim of the study. The intention throughout is to help readers move from being able to apply methods to being able to interrogate the theoretical underpinnings of particular perspectives so that they can feel confident about the particular kinds of knowledge claim they are making. The book is important reading for students at Masters and doctoral level and will be particularly helpful for professionals from education, health, social work, criminal justice and business who carry out research in their workplace and who need to reflect upon the consequences and possibilities for action and change.

The Expert Learner - Gordon Stobart - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

The Expert Learner - Gordon Stobart - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

What do Amadeus Mozart, David Beckham, Marie Curie and Bill Gates have in common? Answer: all excel in their diverse areas of music, sport, science and computing. The Expert Learner looks at what we know about acquiring such expertise and seeks to apply it to education, particularly to classroom teaching. Challenging the widely held belief that excellence is the result of innate ability, it shows how ability is developed through applied learning and deliberate practice. Drawing on studies about expertise The Expert Learner highlights the importance of: - - Providing opportunities and support to develop skills - - Being motivated to succeed - - Undergoing extensive - deliberate - practice - - Building powerful mental models to handle and organise information - - Receiving continuous and effective feedback to improve performance - - Developing self-regulation to monitor performance The Expert Learner takes these findings and applies them to education. What opportunities do our institutions offer to our students and how much choice do we really give them? How do we motivate the unmotivated and how do we stretch our higher achieving students? Are we helping learners to think for themselves and to make sense of what they are learning? With its rich source of ideas for expert teaching and learning, this book looks at some of the ways we can achieve ''wide-awake'' thinking in the classroom. "Highly readable, plenty of examples, and packed with the power of thinking about learning in a way that can make the difference. This is a book full of optimism - it offers a way to positively think about learning and schools. We are not determined by birth, social status, poverty, wealth ... but we can invest in our learning if we "think" appropriately. Stobart emphasizes not just practice, but deliberate coached practice, he shows the multiplier effect that comes from seizing opportunities or someone creating opportunities, and he shows the importance of risk taking, deep knowledge, creativity, and developing talk about progress." John Hattie, Director, Melbourne Education Research Institute, University of Melbourne, Australia "If I were to recommend just one book that all teachers, parents, employers and politicians who are interested in education should read, it would be this one. Not only is it full of engaging stories, underpinned by important research, but it goes to the very heart of what it is to be a successful learner and effective teacher. It demolishes the myth of inherited ability as the overriding determinant of achievement and provides an alternative account by unpacking the opportunities, experiences and practices that lead to the development of true expertise. Read it and use the ideas to challenge backward thinking." Professor Mary James, University of Cambridge, UK "With clear arguments and ample research evidence, Stobart dispels the myth of ability and shows us the harm of society''s persistent reliance on repackaged IQ tests. He advocates, instead, for teaching methods and schools that open up rather than close down opportunities. Using research on expertise and compelling examples from sports, science, medicine, and music, this book shows us how good teaching practices - such as rich questioning and supportive feedback - can engage students in the kinds of deep and purposeful practice needed for adept, expert learning. All students can benefit from this model of teaching, not just an elite few." Distinguished Professor Lorrie Shepard, University of Colorado Boulder, USA

Coaching with Personality Type: What Works - Jenny Rogers - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

Coaching with Personality Type: What Works - Jenny Rogers - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

Most coaches know that Personality Type indicators can add enormous value to their work. Based on the work of the distinguished Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, questionnaires such as the MBTI® and its many rivals can give clients swift, deep, unsettling and reliable insights into their own behaviour and needs. Yet many coaches hesitate, asking questions such as:• Do I know enough about it to use it confidently?• Where does it add value in work with senior leaders?• Where can it be useful when I’m working with a client on career issues?• What should I do when a client challenges me on validity and reliability? • What other psychometric assessments might I use and how do they complement Type indicators?• How should I use it with groups, for instance on management development programmes?• How does it work as part of a team coaching project?This book will build your confidence. It gives you honest, straightforward, practical and realistic advice on these and other issues, from an author who is internationally recognised as a leading thinker and practitioner in executive and team coaching, as well as being an expert on Jungian Type. The book is enriched by dozens of short case studies. "How can anyone resist? ''Coaching for Personality Types’ is a well written, accessible and stimulating book from one of my favourite coaching authors." Professor Jonathan Passmore, School of Psychology, University of Evora & Centre for Coaching, Henley Business School, UK "A masterclass in the area - while there are plenty of type introductions around, this is the best for practising coaches by a long way." Ian Florance, Consultant Editor, Meyler Campbell and Secretary European Test Publishers Group, UK "As an extraordinarily well-written guide to assist both beginners and veteran coaches in the use and interpretation of the MBTI, Rogers'' book has much to recommend it, and I do so wholeheartedly. " Neville Osrin, Emeritus Fellow, University of Exeter Business School, UK "I believe Jenny''s book to be essential reading for anyone interested in using any psychometrics in their coaching -- or in their work generally." Rev. Dr. Rodney (Rod) Woods, Senior Minister, City Temple London, UK "I recommend it to all coaches as essential reading." Julia Vaughan Smith, Action Researcher/Writer/Workshops and Retreats "This is the book I’ve been waiting for! Jenny Rogers'' profound understanding of the subject and the insights she brings from her own coaching practice are illuminating, practical and inspiring."

Higher Education Pedagogies - Melanie Walker - Bog - Open University Press - Booktok.dk

- - What does higher education learning and teaching enable students to do and to become? - Which human capabilities are valued in higher education, and how do we identify them? - How might the human capability approach lead to improved student learning, as well as to accomplished and ethical university teaching? This book sets out to generate new ways of reflecting ethically about the purposes and values of contemporary higher education in relation to agency, learning, public values and democratic life, and the pedagogies which support these. It offers an alternative to human capital theory and emphasises the intrinsic as well as the economic value of higher learning. Based upon the human capability approach, developed by economist Amartya Sen and philosopher Martha Nussbaum, the book shows the importance of justice as a value in higher education. It places freedom, human flourishing, and students’ educational development at its centre. Furthermore, it takes up the value Sen attributes to education in the capability approach, and demonstrates its relevance for higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies offers illustrative narratives of capability, learning and pedagogy, drawing on student and lecturer voices to demonstrate how this multi-dimensional approach can be developed and applied in higher education. It suggests an ethical approach to higher education practice, and to teaching and learning policy development and evaluation. As such, the book is essential reading for students and scholars of higher education, as well as university lecturers, managers and policy-makers concerned with teaching and learning.
