Human performance technology (HPT) refers to a systematic process that links business strategy and goals and worker’s ability to achieve them with a variety of interventions including education and training (Kaufman & Bernardez, 2012). The outcome of the HPT process is the improvement in human performance. Additionally, by requiring close analysis of performance problems or opportunities and their underlying causes, HPT provides effective solutions for any given performance challenge. The root of HPT stems from behavioral and cognitive psychology and educational theories, which provides a theoretical basis for how people learn. HPT is part of instructional technology and encompasses design, analysis, development, evaluation and implementation and management of instructional systems and other learning environments that contribute to learning and the development of the mind, body and spirit (Abbott & Adama, 2016). This paper analyses the cases study by Pavelek (2012) on Using Human Performance Technology (HPT) To Select Projects That Yield Results: Change Management.

Shooting in netball is arguably the most important aspect of the game. Without it, the match wouldn’t reach an outcome and is essential to the functioning of the sport.

The goal is to guide the resource family with strategies on how to talk about the child’s past, build meaning to his or her life narrative, and process new information that the child discloses. Some tasks associated with this goal include:

The client is a 50-year-old, Latino who identifies as a gay male. Throughout this paper, I will refer to him as Jorge. He has been HIV-positive for 15 years and reports to have experienced problems with addiction to various substances since his mid-twenties. Within the past ten years, he has experienced cumulatively harsher consequences as a result of his drinking and drug use. He has been arrested 16 times, has been involved in 3 car wrecks, has received 3 DUIs, and at one point, served 6 months in jail. He reports that last Thanksgiving weekend he overdosed on heroin while thinking he was consuming crystal meth. Having survived that overdose has prompted him to seek recovery

This week in the field as an intern for the Department of Social Services, I was able to complete in-office tasks and complete a home visit with my supervisor. On Monday my supervisor informed me she and other coworkers were in need of creating a new resource manual that would be up to date with the current resources in the Midlands area. Therefore, one of the tasks completed this week was creating a resource manual that would have more resources with up to date numbers, addresses, and contact persons. During this process, I was able to understand the importance of workers having the manual up to date with more resources added to it. Competency skill 9 states a professional social worker, “Actively refers clients to community resources.” With this being required of a professional

Society talks about food as if the only reason for people to eat is to become obese, and they say that if you eat too much, you are in the risk of being fat. “Being fat is one of those illnesses that people do not want to have.” Even although some of the risks of being fat

Concluding, if obesity rates continue to gradually increase, unemployment rates will go through the roof. This being the case, Jessica Bruso provides in her article, “10 Reasons to go on a Diet,” ten main beneficials reasons as to why individuals should pursue diets. She not only lists weight loss as one of the reasons to undergo a diet, but she continues to list out reasons, such as lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides, improves cholesterol ratio, decreases the risk of heart disease, improved survival rates for people with heart disease, lowers blood glucose levels, decreases the risk of diabetes, improves one’s mood, and promotes higher energy levels. These all appear as seemingly beneficial to one’s health and overall well-being; however, the truth behind diets has already been defaced

The enlarged percent of obesity amongst Americans is amazing. The National Center for Health Statistics recently reported, “the most recent national data on obesity prevalence among U.S. adults, adolescents, and children show that more than one-third of adults and almost seventeen percent of children and adolescents were obese in 2009-2010” (NCHS Data Brief, 6). Thinking back to humbler times when there was no junk food, people lived a healthier existence but were

Some pros include offering meaningful advice, having unlimited income potential, and working schedule flexibility. Some cons also include, high levels of stress in the industry, regular/compliances requirements and continuation of education (Horton, 2017).

In a way, this book highlights the various consequences of obesity in significant detail. In the author's opinion, obesity does impact on an individual's health negatively from both a surgical and mental

If one continually eats unhealthy foods, they can quickly become overweight. Moreover, this has become such a recurring problem in America that according to the National Institutes of Health, compulsive eating has led to obesity for approximately 35.7% of Americans. This number represents over one-third of the entire U.S population and will continue to grow unless it is addressed. In addition, it is critical that Americans learn to moderate their junk food intake to prevent the contraction of serious health issues. Sweenie states that, “Food high in salt, sugar, fat or calories and low nutrient content...provide suboptimal nutrition with excessive fat, sugar, or sodium per kcal. Such poor diets can slow growth, promote obesity; sow the seeds of diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cardiac problems, and osteoporosis.” These are exceptionally serious diseases that can often result in a severely hindered lifestyle or even death. In order to avoid these exceptionally undesirable outcomes, one must always remain aware of their daily junk food consumption. In Kirkey’s article, Paul Kenny, an associate professor at the Scripps Research Institute in Florida, states that, "It's incumbent upon people to make sure that they're more respectful and aware of what they're eating. Just be aware that there are dangers and risks associated. Enjoy (high-fat) food, but make sure it's occasionally and
