Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

Kaizen: The key to Japan‚s competitive success

A: The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was established in 1905 and is an “independent policy and research center. Its current mission is to support needed transformations in American education through tighter connections between teaching practice, evidence of student learning, the communication and use of this evidence, and structured opportunities to build knowledge.” (http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/about-us/about-carnegie)

Purpose – As organizations become more team oriented, research on teams continues to increase especially involving how teams contribute to organizational performance and effectiveness. Although there has been existing research on Kaizen teams in the private sector, very little research has included Kaizen teams in the public sector. In this paper, we present a method to study Kaizen teams in a local Spanish government that have been using Kaizen teams for more than ten years.Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative research was adopted for this study. Twenty teams participated in the study by filling out the Team Learning and Development Inventory (TLI) proposed by Lingham (2004). In addition, we interviewed members of the teams in order to clarify and assure our quantitative results.Findings – Based on the findings, we propose that Kaizen teams should practice both Continuous (CI) and Process Improvements (PI) in their projects. We also propose that Kaizen teams should not be teams skilled only at deve...

A trend toward Work–Life Fusion: A multi-generational shift in technology use at work

This study examines the role of human resources in strategy formulation processes in China's emerging market. Employing a qualitative data driven thematic analysis, we present evidence collected from six comparative case sites of Spanish firms in China. Our findings suggest that high performing firms use a dynamic adaptive logic while lower performing firms use a static structural logic. A dynamic adaptive model of strategic human resource management is identified, emphasizing a fluid and informal process between strategy, human resources and international management.

International Strategic Human Resource Management: A Comparative Case Analysis of Spanish Firms in China

As the workplace becomes host to five generations, intergenerational relationships pose new challenges for both leaders and direct reports. This article describes the findings of a study that suggests emerging patterns of leadership among young leaders as they oversee direct reports much older than themselves. The researchers conducted a qualitative study with leaders under the age of 36 and direct reports at least 20 years older. Interviews with both generations demonstrate a paradigm shift in the way young people lead in an intergenerational setting. Younger leaders are emphasizing task accomplishment and multi-tasking to be of primary importance in the leader-direct report relationship, eschewing the emphasis on quality outcomes that has been an industry standard for several decades. This article provides both historical backgrounds on organizational leadership trends and information on this emerging pattern in leadership style. The intent of the study is to advance the field of knowledge regarding lea...

Intergenerational Collisions and Leadership in the 21st Century

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed explanation of a design toolkit for coaching project teams.Design/methodology/approach – It is first explained that approach to coaching teams using a measure that captures the real and ideal interactions for the 12 information technology (IT) project teams in this paper.Findings – Based on the analysis of data from the coaching sessions, characteristics of a design toolkit are proposed for coaching IT project teams.Research limitations/implications – A more comprehensive picture of team learning that takes into account non‐measurable dimensions of interaction might be of value in the kernel theories. More cases are required to verify the design theory in other contexts.Practical implications – Project managers and team leaders can benefit form this design toolkit to approach coaching their teams.Originality/value – This approach complements current models of team coaching.
