Question 1: How behavioral change communication help in the positive educational
outcomes?

Behavioral Change Communication Introduction Behavioral change communication (BCC) is the

strategic use of communication to promote positive educational outcomes, based on proven theories
and models of behavior change. BCC utilizes a orderly handle starting with developmental inquire about
and behavior investigation, taken after by communication arranging, usage, and observing and
assessment. Fabric and human assets, and interpersonal channels are utilized to attain characterized
instructive goals.
Behavior change communication (BCC) is an intuitive preparation of any mediation with people,
communities, and/or social orders (as coordinates with an in the general program) to create
communication techniques to advance positive behaviors which are suitable to their settings. This in
turn gives a strong environment which can empower individuals to start, maintain and keep up positive
and alluring behavior results.
BCC is the strategic utilization of communication to advance positive wellbeing results, based on
demonstrated speculations and models of behavior alter. BCC utilizes a precise handle starting with
developmental inquire about and behavior examination, taken after by communication arranging,
execution, and observing and assessment. Gatherings of people are carefully sectioned, messages and
materials are pre-tested, and both mass media and interpersonal channels are utilized to attain
characterized behavioral targets.
Giving individuals with information and educating them how they ought to carry on does not lead to an
alluring alter in their response/behavior. In any case, when there's a steady environment with data and
communication (teaching) at that point there's a alluring alter within the behavior of the target gather.
Thus, BCC is proved to be an instructional intervention which has a close interface with education and
communication. It is a strategic and group oriented form of communication to perceive a desired change
in behavior of target group.

1. BCC programs include a wide range of involvements that fall into three broad categories:
2. Mass media (radio, television, print material, the internet);
3. Interpersonal communication (client-provider interaction, group presentations); and
4. Community mobilization.

5. Behavior Change Communication (BCC) is a communication strategy which encourages

individual/community to modification their behavior.
6. It is a strategy that triggers people/society/communities to implement healthy, beneficial and
positive behavioral practices.
7. BCC is an effective communication approach which helps to encourage changes in knowledge,
attitudes, norms, beliefs and behaviors
8. BCC is an interactive process with communities (as incorporated with a general program) to
create custom-fitted messages and methodologies developing an assortment of correspondence
 channels to create positive practices; advance and support individual, network and cultural
conduct change; and keep up suitable practices.
9. BCC is a powerful and fundamental human interaction – communication – which positively
influences dimensions of health and well-being.
10. BCC is a direct approach towards changing behavior. It is different to traditional IEC materials as
IEC materials are not considered for creating awareness and giving information as compared to
BCC.
11. BCC is described by its straight approach towards changing behavior.
Behavioral change communication Effect on Education:
Education is ubiquitous with clinical care. However, not all education supports behavioral change.
Education is a broad term that encompasses the process of obtaining general knowledge, personal
awareness, and skills training. Although not sufficient, education is a necessary component for behavior
change. This article outlines the role of education in behavior change and offers practical suggestions for
how clinicians can provide education to their patients to help them change behavior. Knowledge is not
enough to change behavior. If it was, no one would smoke or overeat to the point of becoming obese,
and everyone would wear seatbelts and exercise. However, knowledge is important. It is critical to
explain to patients why behavioral changes need to be made. For example, understanding the health
risks associated with smoking is essential in order to make a decision about quitting. In this issue,
McDonald and colleagues recommend that clinicians follow the “three Es of injury prevention”—
education, engineering, and enforcement.1 Their suggestion highlights the significance of instruction,
recommending that through instruction patients’ information can be expanded. The suggestion
moreover outlines how instruction alone is deficient to bolster behavioral alter. This point is exemplified
by the commonplace event of wellbeing care suppliers giving their patients different instructive
freebees to offer extra data almost and recommendations for how to move forward their wellbeing
condition. These types of educational “interventions” rarely have the desired impact on patients’
actions.2-4
At the core of this issue is how instruction is being characterized and connected with respect to
behavioral alter. The terms instruction and information are frequently thought of as trading. In any case,
instruction could be a comprehensive term that can be characterized as “the handle of getting or giving
precise instruction” or as “an edifying experience,” while information is characterized as “facts, data,
and abilities obtained by a individual through encounter or education.” Knowledge is the desired
outcome of education. As the definition suggests, there are multiple types of knowledge: general
knowledge or information, knowledge that increases personal awareness, and knowledge that increases
skills.
Education to Increase Awareness:
For education to extend mindfulness, it must provide a person with distant better; a much better; a
higher; a stronger; an improved">a higher understanding of the individual pertinence of the data. Giving
common knowledge will not do that. Teaching people the definition and results of weight isn't likely to
lead to behavior alteration. Behavior change is more likely in the event that instruction increments
individuals’ mindfulness that they endure from corpulence and are actually encountering results of
weight. Custom fitted instruction is essential to extend mindfulness since fitting guarantees that the
data is pertinent to the person. Tailored education is also more likely to include explanation on why the
information is pertinent specifically to the individual.
Education to Develop or Improve SkillsA common assumption mistakenly made in behavior alter is
that common information and data drive behavior.8 Illustrations of this flourish within the wellbeing behavior
alter writing. Educational curriculum-based regenerative wellbeing programs are seldom compelling at
diminishing sexually transmitted malady or pregnancy rates among adolescents.9 Information is additionally
deficient in encouraging intense stroke treatment. Prompt 911 calls when patients are suffering from a stroke are
critical to the delivery and success of acute stroke treatments. Many mediations have centered on expanding the
common public’s information of stroke caution signs within the trust that individuals will call 911 prior in the
event that they are able to recognize that somebody is having a stroke. In any case, those with such information
are not more likely to call 911 than individuals without this information.
How to Deliver Effective Education for Behavior Change Ask questions and tune in. In arrange to
extend mindfulness or aptitudes, the wellbeing care supplier ought, to begin with, a survey of what the persistent
knows and what the understanding considers the foremost imperative issue. Data that increment information but
does not increment individual mindfulness or aptitudes will not be beneficial in prompting behavioral alter.

Don't send patients domestic with bundles of presents in trust that some of it'll increment a patient’s
individual mindfulness. This overpowering sum of instruction is likely to go new by most patients,
expanding not one or the other individual mindfulness nor abilities. Instead, health care specialists
ought to prioritize patients’ holes in information and preparing most repressing behaviors to alter.
Presents ought to as it were address the foremost squeezing information and preparing crevices and
ought to supplement discourse.
Be patient. Just because a persistent knows why and how to create a behavior alter does not mean that
the alter is getting to be simple. There are numerous potential obstructions patients confront when
attempting to form a behavioral alter that impacts their genuine or seen capacity to create the alter
being inquired of them. Gradually work through barriers with patients. It is likely that numerous littler
behavior changes will be got to be accomplished to assist patients overcome obstructions some time
recently they are able to form the proposed behavioral alter for their wellbeing.
Question 2: Define the quality indicator with its principles for maintaining a quality
system?
Quality Indicators
There are ten quality indicators. These have been weighted to appear their relative significance within
the quality handle. The most elevated weighted zones are viable instructing and learning and authority.
Authority is of vital significance since various considers have shown that strong administration may be a
key highlight of tall performing instructive teach. Excellent pioneers motivate their staff and guarantee
that there's a drive for quality enhancement. In those foundations where understudy victory is tall,
those working in them and especially their administration has a clear understanding of measures and
the actions fundamental to realize them. This is a combination of leadership and teaching and learning.

Question 3: What do you mean by Resistance Management and corrective actions that
can be suggested during the change process?

Resistance Management

It is more often than not repeated, in both scholarly and commerce world, that numerous of the alter
activities one way or another have delivered destitute come about. The rate of coming up short in the
organizational arrangement has been fifty to seventy percent (Pound & Champy, 1993).
In spite of the fact that this tall rate, which demonstrates the huge number of organizations that are
incapable to realize their alter plans, has pulled in the consideration of those who are inquisitive about
the subject i.e. researchers, consultants, academicians, managers, complex nature of the activity of
transforming an organization makes it difficult to construct a perfect solution or a plan that can be valid
in different contexts for achieving intended outcomes. One may list different causes for the
disappointments experienced in usage forms but resistance to alter is more likely to be depicted as one
of the foremost far-reaching ones.
Indeed in spite of the fact that the concept of resistance to alter isn't a modern one, no agreement
almost its substance and the ways it is experienced has existed among the analysts who have studied it.
Within the taking after segment, we'll survey the concept of resistance to alter from the points of view
of a few powerful analysts in this field. In spite of the fact that resistance has been as a rule conceived as
an obstacle to alter, noteworthy number of contentions which emphasize the positive part of resistance
have been existed in writing. There has been a parcel of books and logical papers within the writing, and
numerous of them have drawn nearer the issue from diverse viewpoints. Hence, to anticipate
redundancy, we discover it suitable to survey creators who have contributed to writing by speaking to
each of these distinctive points of view in terms of resistance to alter. According to Zander (1950), there
are six main reasons for resistance to occur in change initiatives;
▪ Ambiguity in the mind of those who will be pretentious by change about the nature of change.
▪ Existence of diverse clarifications about the change and its impact
▪ Existence of strong forces avoiding individuals from changing
▪ Strong top down annoyance on individuals who will be influenced by change, lack of
participation
▪ Existence of personal comforts directing change
▪ Ignorance of pre-established institutions in the group

Corrective Actions
Organizational improvement, as the term suggests, is the method by which an organization survives and
flourishes through a long time of its presence. Hence, organizational development change
administration is the method by which choice creators endeavor to oversee the changes that are
inalienable with any exertion at organizational advancement.
To appropriately carry out organizational improvement alter administration, choice creators have to be
to begin with make a well-structured arrange for organizational advancement. Numerous alter
administration endeavors fall flat since choice creators (or those planning the organizational
improvement program) didn’t structure the program appropriately. A half-baked exertion is more awful
than no exertion at all since it may result in changes negative to the organization. Following,
organizational improvement alter administration must be communicated to all influenced levels of the
organization. Allowed, not all individuals will be influenced by the changes, but those who will ought to
be educated in advance so that they plan. Everybody knows that ill-prepared representatives have the
chances stacked against them when it comes to legitimately and satisfactorily dealing with change(s)
related to organizational improvement. Sometimes, for organizational advancement change
administration to be effective, the concepts and standards utilized ought to be as straightforward as
conceivable. The same goes for the execution of the program – sometimes, the simpler the process
being installed, the better it will be for the organization and all affected audiences, in the end. It’s
perfectly obvious that the more complex the program, the harder it will be for people to integrate it into
their daily responsibilities.
Skills & Strategies
Managing the kinds of changes experienced by and foundations inside organizations requires an
abnormally wide and finely sharpened set of aptitudes, chief among which are the taking after.

a. Political Skills
Organizations are to begin with and first social frameworks. Without individuals there can be no
organization. Lose locate of this reality and any would-be alter specialist will likely lose his or her head.
Organizations are hotly and intensely political. And, as one sway pointed out, the lower the stakes, the
more strongly the legislative issues. Alter specialists set out not to connect in this diversion but they had
a way better understand of it. This can be one area where you must make your claim judgments and
keep your possess guide; no one can do it for you.

b. Analytical Skills
Make no mistake approximately it, those who would change agents had way better be exceptionally
great at something, which something superior is examination. Speculating won’t do. Understanding is
pleasant, indeed valuable, and in some cases sparkles with brilliance, but it is darned troublesome to
offer and nearly inconceivable
to protect.
A lucid, judicious, well-argued investigation can be overlooked and indeed smothered, but not
effectively challenged and, in most cases, will carry the day. In the event that not, at that point the
political issues haven’t been enough tended to.
Two particular sets of skills are very important here:
(1) workflow operations or systems analysis, and
(2) financial analysis. Change agents must learn to take
apart and reassemble operations and systems in novel ways, and then determine the financial and
political impacts of what they have done. Conversely, they must be able to begin with a few money-
related degrees or markers or goal and make their way rapidly to those operations and frameworks that,
on the off chance that reconfigured a certain way, would have the required monetary affect. Those who
master these two techniques have learned a trade that will be in demand for the foreseeable future.
c. People Skills
Individuals are characterized by all way of sizes, shapes, colors, insights and capacity levels, sexual
orientation, sexual inclinations, national roots, to begin with and moment dialects, devout convictions,
demeanors toward life and work, identities, and needs — and these are fair many of the dimensions
along which individuals change. We need to bargain with them all.
The skills most required in this region are those that ordinarily drop beneath the heading of
communication or interpersonal aptitudes.
To be effective, we must be able to tune in and tune ineffectively, to repeat, to reflect, to clarify without
examining, to draw out the speaker, to lead or channel a dialog, to plant thoughts, and to create them.
All these and more are required.
d. System Skills
There’s much more to this than learning approximately computers, in spite of the fact that most
individuals utilized in today’s world of work do have to learn around computer-based data frameworks.
For now, let’s just say that a framework is a course of action of assets and schedules expecting to create
indicated comes about. To organize is to organize. A framework reflects the organization and, by the
same token, an organization may be a framework. A word processing administrator and the word
handling gear worked to frame a framework. So do computers and the bigger, data handling
frameworks in which computers are so regularly inserted. These are generally known as “hard” systems.
There are “soft” systems as well: compensation systems, appraisal systems, promotion systems, and
reward and incentive systems.
Business Skills
Essentially put, you’d superior get it how a business works. In specific, you’d superior get it how the
trade-in which and on which you’re working works. This involves an understanding of cash — where it
comes from, where it goes, how to induce it, and how to keep it. It moreover calls into play information
of markets and showcasing, items and item improvement, society, deals, offering, buying, hiring, firing,
EEO, AAP, and around anything else you might think of.

Four Basic Strategies for Managing Change

Empirical-Rational
Individuals are judicious and will take after their self-interest — once it is uncovered to them. Alter is
based on the communication of data and the proffering of motivating forces.
Normative-Reductive
Individuals are social creatures and will follow to social standards and values. Alter is based on
rethinking and reinterpreting existing standards and values, and creating commitments to unused ones.
Power-Coercive
Individuals are essentially compliant and will for the most part do what they are told or can be made to
do. Alter is based on the work out of specialist and the inconvenience of sanctions.
Environmental-Adaptive
Individuals contradict loss and disturbance but they adjust promptly to unused circumstances. Alter is
based on building a modern organization and steadily exchanging individuals from the ancient one to
the unused one.
Factors in selecting a strategy
Generally speaking, there is no single change strategy. You can adopt a general or what is called a
"grand strategy" but, for any given initiative, you are best served by some mix of strategies.
Which of the going before techniques to utilize in your blend of procedures could be a choice influenced
by a number of components. A few of the more critical ones take after.
Scope and Scale: This may shift from the minor “tweaking” of preparation inside a unit to the total
change of the complete organization.
Change Process
Change management is a process that should be included in the planning and delivery of a project from
the very beginning. Often times change is not taken into consideration in the development of project
plans. It is for this reason that change management has been addressed as separate component to the
usual project methodology that you maybe currently using. Once the change management plan has
been developed it should be integrated with the project plan and can be included at any point after start
up.
This change management plan template provides the necessary flexibility required and is designed to
meet the needs of the project irrelevant to the phase of the project.
The change management process has three stages, and should be considered alongside the nature and
magnitude of the change. Some researchers place the failure rate of organizational change at as much
as 70 percent, an unacceptable high. Consequently, it is not surprising that leaders are looking for ways
to reduce the risk and curtail failure.
Unfortunately, many leaders believe that simply by using a change management methodology they are
‘doing’ change management. A change management methodology helps a company prepare for planned
and unplanned changes. A methodology also helps mitigate risks by creating a blueprint of how to
proactively deal with opposition or any other problems that may arise during and after the
implementation. The biggest risk is acceptance - Acceptance by employees, staff, management, and
stakeholders should be the topmost priority when initiating change.
Prosci’s Change Management Methodology
In 2002, taking after their third alter administration benchmarking ponder, Prosci created an
organizational alter administration to handle. It was created based on inquire about with over 1600
members over ten a long time. It is the amalgamation of collective lessons learned by those presenting
alter around the globe. It is built-in steps that a venture group can total for a specific alter or activity
upheld.
Managing Change
The run of possible change administration exercises is wide. The key here is to distinguish the
assignments that are essential to grant alter the most prominent chance of victory. The key exercises
included in overseeing alter incorporate:
1. Ensure clear expression of the reasons for change and assistance the sponsor communicate.
2. Recognize change agents for specific change activities, such as design, test, and problem solving.
3. Evaluate all the stakeholders and define the nature of sponsorship, involvement, and communication.
4. Plan the participation and project activities for the change sponsor or agents.
5. Plan how and when the changes will be communicated and brought.
6. Assess the impact of the changes on people and the organization's structure.
7. Plan activities needed to address the impact of the change.
8. Ensure that people involved and pretentious by the change understand the change process.
9. Ensure those involved or affected have help and support during times of uncertainty or upheaval.
10. Assess training needs driven by the change and plan when and how this will be implemented.
11. Recognize and agree on the success
Question 4: What are various assessment techniques to generate the useful data about
the students at learning level?

Assessment
Assessment in its traditional meaning is to collect data for the purpose of evaluation. Serafini (2000) has
rightly said that distinctive philosophical sees of instructors and organization influence classroom hone
since instructors are impacted by these evaluation ideal models when they collect and analyze
information almost understudy execution. he administration has an immaculate positivist approach to
instruction that requires quantitative information primarily and inquires for judgments based on
quantitative prove. Whereas a more constructivist approach to instruction would lead instructors to
gather more miniature details in the qualitative evaluation and after that create day by day, week by
week, month to month, and term reports. No matter the sort of information one collects, it’s one thing
to gather information and another thing to utilize the information to advise instruction. Mokhtari,
Rosemary, and Edwards, (2007) argue that “collecting, organizing, analyzing and using data for
instructional and curriculum improvement is a new way of work for many educators” . Effective use of
data is the key to Data Driven Instructional Management.
Sources of Data
There can be many sources of assessment data. Such as:
i. Teacher made tests and activity sheets
Many of the school frameworks have as of now embraced the strategy of customary evaluation through
week after week tests, tests, and movement sheets. These instruments of developmental appraisal give
wealthy information around each child’s customary execution within the given classroom errands and
exercises.
ii. Observation sheets of Classroom Participation
Along with the tests and movement sheets a few subjective information is to be collected almost
children interest amid educating learning handle interior the classroom and school. The subject
instructors, as well as course educators, can keep a shared organizer of each child to keep including data
with respect to his/her qualities, shortcomings, and other subjective perspectives such as social
interaction, bunch behavior and etc. Such observational sheets can be made into a frame of checklist
but there ought to continuously be a few space for subtle elements where instructor can note the input
in graphic frame.
iii. Home Observation Sheets For Parents
Teachers give different homework assignments to the understudies and once they bring it back as it
were at that point it is assessed. Guardians are accomplices in understudy learn and within the handle of
evaluation, they are moreover to be included. Home assignments can be designed in a way that the
guardians will fill up a perception frame and the instructor will assess the task submitted by the
understudy.
iv. Homework Assessment Rubrics
Rubrics are not exceptionally commonly utilized within the schools of Pakistan. A rubric could be a
spread sheet that expounds condition of reviewing against each model. This spread sheet is utilized to
assess the assignments submitted to the instructors. The rubric makes it conceivable that more than one
individual may review the same task for more solid evaluation. A few schools moreover utilize it for peer
assessment hones.
v. Online profiles and Analytics
Technological bolster and mixed learning models have made it simpler for us to gather pertinent
information in a clean and organized shape. Most of the Learning Administration Frameworks have an
inbuilt component of creating understudy profiles. It makes a difference for instructors as well as
guardians to see when and how the child is performing within the given online assignments. These
assignments run from perusing, composing to tests, and utilizing intuitive recreations.
vi. Final Examination and Evaluation
Final examination of a term, a semester, or a year can be managed within the frame of composing tests,
ventures, or in any other frame chosen as per the assessment approach of the institution. Teachers
usually review these tests and after that, a choice is made around fruitful completion of the course of
consider. It is to be highlighted that receiving the Information Driven Guidelines Administration.
Instructors choose upon the sort and substance of tests and assignments on the bases of past
developmental appraisals all through the term, semester or the year.
Assessment techniques
Evaluations may be carried out in numerous diverse ways, depending upon the profundity of data and
the nature of what is being evaluated. The appraisal strategies may be categorized into both coordinate
and circuitous appraisals.
Direct Assessment Methods
Coordinate appraisal strategies are "direct" since they see genuine understudy work to decide whether
the understudies have learned what the workforce needs them to memorize. Among the direct
methods most commonly used are the following:
Portfolios
Student portfolios may be collected from the time that understudies enter a program until they
graduate or may be collected for smaller time outlines. Understudies are mindful of gathering the data
that the workforce need them to assemble. Among the types of materials contained in a portfolio may
be: investigate papers, expositions, drafts of composed fabric driving to the last item, research facility
investigate, tapes of exhibitions, shows of imaginative work, and examinations. An especially important
component of understudy portfolios is the intelligent paper, in which the understudy reflects back upon
her or his development in grant or inventive endeavors and draws conclusions almost his or her qualities
and shortcomings at the time the portfolio is compiled. To save important space, numerous portfolios
are presently accumulated electronically. The essential downside of the portfolio is that it takes time for
staff to survey. The essential advantage is that it can be outlined to speak to a wide see of understudy
scholarly improvement, one that too contains a few profundities.

Embedded Assessments
Embedded evaluations make utilize of understudy work created in particular classes. As a result, the
understudies oughtn't indeed to know that their work is being utilized for appraisal purposes. In
expansion, the fabric utilized for an appraisal is delivered inside the ordinary workload of both
workforce and understudies. As such, embedded appraisals give a reasonable source of data around
understudy work. In offices that utilize examinations to assess students, sometimes as it were a couple
of of the examination things are really outlined for evaluation purposes. The data given by inserted
appraisals ought to be looked into by the workforce past the course educators, maybe employing a
rubric of key characteristics to direct the evaluations. The teachers use the understudy work to supply
grades. The workforce looks at the understudy work to understand what and how understudies are
learning within the program.
Capstone experiences or senior projects
Capstone experiences most regularly happen in courses taken by understudies toward the conclusion of
their scholarly program, regularly within the senior year. Capstone courses can be planned to require
understudies to illustrate their amassed information, aptitudes, and/or values through major
imaginative or investigative ventures, as well as composed and verbal introductions. The major
advantage to the capstone course or encounter is that it gives a centered occasion upon which the
evaluation can be based. As with inserted evaluations, capstone courses make utilize of information that
understudies deliver inside the typical course of their work. One caution is that, whereas the staff part
educating the course is mindful for giving grades to understudies, other program staff ought to be
included in assessing the work of the understudies from an evaluation point of view. A drawback to the
capstone course is that it cannot trust to typify everything that an understudy has learned, but
assignments can be outlined to evoke understudy work that does incorporate much of what they have
learned.
Examinations or Standardized Tests External To The Courses
Culminating examinations may be developed by the workforce or obtained from national testing
organizations (such as the ACT CAAP, ETS field exams, or the Missouri BASE). Building such examinations
is time-consuming, and standardized national measures may not relate along with your scholarly
program. They are expensive to either the institution or the understudy. And, unless they are required
for graduation, understudy inspiration to do well in them may be low.
Internships and Other Field Experiences
Internships and field encounters give openings for understudies to apply their learning exterior the
classroom. Evaluations of student work in such experiences may provide valuable information on
whether the students are able to use what they have learned in class when they are confronted with
"real world" situations. They may, in fact, be the capstone experience for the students' program.
Indirect Assessment Methods
Indirect evaluation strategies require that staff gather genuine understudy capacities, information, and
values instead of watching them through coordinated strategies. Among indirect methods are:
Surveys
Student surveys or surveys of employers and others provide impressions from survey respondents.
These impressions may change over time (for example, will a senior value the same thing as an alumnus
who has been working for several years?). Respondents may respond with what they think those
conducting the overview need to listen, instead of what they really believe. Surveys are simple to
manage, but regularly don't result in reactions from everybody overviewed. They may be that as it may,
give clues to what ought to be evaluated specifically. And they may be the as it were way to accumulate
data from graduated class, managers, or graduate school staff.
Exit Interviews and Focus Groups
Exit interviews and center bunches permit staff to inquire particular questions face-to-face with
understudies. Their restrictions are that the understudies may not react truly or completely, whereas
their answers may be, as with studies, impressions that will alter over time. Regularly, for more
objectivity, it may be best to have somebody exterior the real program workforce conduct the
interviews. Interviews and center bunches may give clues to what ought to be evaluated
straightforwardly.
Inventories of syllabi and assignments
Inventories of syllabi and assignments may turn up data almost the educational modules that's not
apparent until the genuine stock is conducted. As an indirect method, the stock does not demonstrate
what understudies have learned, but it does give a fast way of knowing whether a few courses are
excess in what they instructor whether a few crevices within the curriculum exists. It could be an
important instrument inside the whole evaluation array of apparatuses.
Assess Students’ Learning and Performance
Learning takes put in students’ heads where it is imperceptible to others. This implies that learning must
be evaluated through execution: what understudies can do with their learning. Surveying students’
execution can include evaluations that are formal or casual, tall- or low-stakes, mysterious or open,
person or collective.Here we offer recommendations and techniques for surveying understudy learning
and execution as well as ways to clarify your desires and execution criteria to understudies.

Question 5: Describe the Management Information System with the factor that help
the decision making tasks for manager?

Management Information System

Administration Data Frameworks (MIS) is the consider of individuals, innovation, and organizations. If
you appreciate innovation like iPhones, iPodS, you've got what it takes to major in data frameworks. All
you would like is an intrigued in innovation and the crave to utilize innovation to move forward people's
lives. Numerous individuals think that MIS is all programming. Be that as it may, programming is fair a
little portion of our educational programs and there are numerous, numerous occupations in MIS where
you are doing not program. Management information system (MIS) gives data that organizations require
to oversee themselves productively and successfully. Administration data frameworks are ordinarily
computer frameworks utilized for overseeing the organizations . The five primary components of MIS
are:
1) Hardware
2) Software
3) Data (information for decision making),
4) Procedures (design, development and documentation), and
5) People (individuals, groups, or organizations).

Management information systems are particular from other data frameworks since they are utilized to
analyze and encourage key and operational exercises. Academically, the term is commonly utilized to
allude to the study of how people, bunches, and organizations assess, plan, execute, oversee, and utilize
frameworks to produce data to progress proficiency and adequacy of choice-making, counting
frameworks named choice back frameworks, master frameworks, and official data frameworks.
History of MIS
Kenneth C. Laudon and Jane Laudon recognize five eras of Administration Data Framework
advancement compared to the five stages within the advancement of computing innovation:
1) Mainframe and minicomputer computing,
2) Personal computers,
3) Client/server networks,
4) Enterprise computing, and
5) Cloud computing. The first era
(mainframe and minicomputer) was ruled by IBM and their mainframe computers. These computers
would often take up whole rooms and require teams to run them – IBM supplied the hardware and the
software. As innovation progressed, these computers were able to handle more prominent capacities
and thus diminish their cost. The moment period (individual computer) started in 1965 as chip begun to
compete with mainframes and minicomputers and quickened the method of decentralizing computing
control from expansive information centers to littler workplaces. Within the late 1970s, minicomputer
innovation gave way to individual computers and moderately low-cost computers were getting to be
mass market commodities, permitting businesses to supply their workers get to to computing control
that ten a long time some time recently would have taken a toll lakhs of rupees. As technological
complexity expanded and costs diminished, they got to share data inside an endeavor moreover
developed, giving rise to the third time (client/server), in which computers on a common organize get to
shared data on a server. This lets thousands and indeed millions of individuals get information at the
same time. The fourth era (endeavor) empowered by tall speed systems, tied all viewpoints of the
commerce venture together advertising wealthy data get to including the total administration structure.
Each computer is utilized. The fifth era (cloud computing) is the most recent and utilizes organizing
innovation to convey applications as well as information capacity autonomous of the arrangement, area,
or nature of the equipment. This, along with high speed cell phone and Wi-Fi networks, led to new levels
of mobility in which managers access the MIS remotely with laptop and tablet computers, plus smart
phones.
Role of Management Information Systems in an Organization
The role of the MIS in an organization can be compared to the part of heart within the body. The data is
the blood and MIS is the heart. Within the body the heart plays the part of providing immaculate blood
to all the components of the body counting the brain. The heart works quicker and supplies more blood
when required. It directs and controls the approaching debased blood, forms it, and sends it to the goal
within the quantity needed. It fulfills the desires of blood supply to the human body in ordinary course
conjointly in an emergency. MIS plays precisely the same part within the organization. The framework
guarantees that a fitting information is collected from the different sources, handled, and sent
encourage to all the poor goals. The framework is predicted to fulfill the data needs of a person, a
gather of people, the administration functionaries, the directors and the best administration. MIS
satisfies the diverse needs through a variety of systems such as Query Systems, Analysis Systems,
Modeling Systems and Decision Support Systems, MIS helps in Strategic Planning, Management Control,
Operational Control and Transaction Processing. MIS makes a difference the clerical staff within the
exchange handling and answers their questions on the information relating to the exchange, the status
of a specific record and references on an assortment of records. MIS makes a difference to the junior
administration staff by giving the operational information for arranging, planning, and control, and
makes a difference them further in choice-making at the operations level to redress an out of control
situation. MIS makes a difference the center administration in brief them arranging, target setting and
controlling the commerce capacities. It is bolstered by the utilize of the administration instruments of
arranging and control. MIS makes a difference in the beat administration in objective setting, vital
arranging and advancing the trade plans and their execution. MIS plays the part of data era,
communication, issue recognizable proof and makes a difference within the handle of choice making.
MIS, therefore, plays a vital role in the management, administration and operations of an organization.

Management techniques are systematic and analytical methods used to assist in decision-making,
the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness and in particular the conduct of key managerial
activities.
▪ Systematic methods comprise of indicated and regularly successive strategies of tackling an
issue, giving data for choice making or progressing operational efficiency. These guarantee that
each step is carried out in endorsed manner.
▪ Analytical techniques have been created by considering what and conceivably quantitative
strategies are required to bargain with each viewpoint of a circumstance and accomplish a
 conclusion result. They subject complex circumstances to shut and precise examination and
resolve them into their key components.
▪ Quantitative procedures degree in numerical or budgetary terms what is happening and evaluate
figures of future patterns. These procedures put monetary/digitory values on execution reports,
estimates, and plans.
Role of MIS in Managers DECISION MAKING
Strategic decisions are the choices that are concerned with the entirety environment in which the firm
works the complete assets and the individuals who shape the company and the interface between the
two.
Characteristics/Features of Strategic Decisions
a. Strategic decisions have major resource proposals for an organization. These decisions may be
concerned with possessing new properties, organizing others or reallocating others.
b. Strategic decisions deal with consistent organizational resource capabilities with the threats and
opportunities.
c. Strategic decisions deal with the variety of organizational activities. It is all about what they want the
organization to be like and to be about.
d. Strategic decisions involve a change of major kind since an organization functions in ever-changing
environment.
e. Strategic decisions are compound in nature.
f. Strategic decisions are at the top most level, are indeterminate as they deal with the future, and
involve a lot of risk.
g. Key choices are distinctive from authoritative and operational decisions. Administrative choices are
schedule choices which offer assistance or maybe encourage key choices or operational choices.
Operational choices are specialized choices which offer assistance execution of key choices. To decrease
fetched could be a key choice which is accomplished through operational choice of diminishing the
number of workers and how we carry out these diminishments will be regulatory decision.
Advances in computer-based data innovation in later a long time have driven a wide assortment of
frameworks that directors are presently utilizing to create and execute choices. By and large, these
frameworks have been created from scratch for particular purposes and vary essentially from standard
electronic information handling frameworks. As well regularly, unfortunately, supervisors have small say
within the advancement of this choice back systems; at the same time, non-managers who do create
them have a constrained see of how they can be utilized. In spite of these drawbacks, the creator found
that a number of the 56 frameworks he considered are fruitful. And the distinction between victory and
disappointment is the degree to which supervisors can utilize the framework to extend their adequacy
inside their organizations. Hence, the creator proposes that typically the basis originators and directors
ought to mutually credit to in misusing the capabilities of today’s advances.
Instep, my discoveries appear what other analysts have detailed: applications are being created and
utilized to back the chief mindful for making and executing choices, instead of to supplant him. In other
words, individuals in a developing number of organizations are utilizing what are frequently called
choice bolster frameworks to make strides their administrative viability.
Unfortunately, my research too bore out the truth that whereas increasingly down-to-earth applications
are being created for the utilize of choice creators, three sizable lurching squares still stand within the
way of others who might advantage from them.
First, managers and computer users in numerous organizations are recognizable with as it were a couple
of of the sorts of frameworks presently in utilize. As a result, distinctive sorts of imaginative frameworks
have regularly been conceived and supported by inner or outside “entrepreneurs,” not by the
framework clients or their bosses.
Second, and closely related to my beginning finding, these business visionaries tend to concentrate on
specialized characteristics. As well frequently, this astigmatism implies that they come up short to
expect the ways in which such frameworks can be utilized to extend the adequacy of people in
organizations.
At long last, profoundly inventive systems—the exceptionally one's administration ought to discover
most useful—run a tall hazard of never being executed, particularly when the impulse for alter comes
from a source other than the potential client.
Very essentially, my reason in this article is to examine, without getting into the innovation included, the
tall potential of an assortment of choice back frameworks, the challenges and dangers they posture to
supervisors and implementers, and a wide run of techniques to meet these challenges and dangers.
Types of Decision Support Systems
While there are many ways to categorize computer systems, a real-world one is to compare them in
terms of what the user does with them:
Retrieves inaccessible data items.
Usages as a mechanism for ad hoc analysis of data files.
Attains prespecified aggregations of data in the form of standard reports.
Estimates the magnitudes of proposed decisions.
Proposes decisions.
Makes decisions.
