The purpose of conducting the document analysis was to visually compare various performance review documents with topical literature noting the exclusion of language that identifies and measures organizational citizenship behaviors among employees in formal performance evaluation processes. This paper addresses a need for organizational leaders to revise formal performance evaluation documents to ensure altruistic and above and beyond citizenship behavior terms from the literature are also part of the reward and recognition process. Changes in the formal performance evaluation process are necessary for future organizational success.

Research and Social Distancing with Covid-19

Covid-19 has changed interviewing by both the researcher and investigator in many settings. Using social media to conduct interviews allows for long distance contact with subjects and at the same time limits the interviewer’s ability to read the truthfulness of statements. In overcoming the personal contact used in many settings there are techniques used to establish trust. Deakin and Wakefield (2013) examine ways of establishing this trust and avoiding pitfalls of not establishing trust.

The doctoral candidate and dissertation chair relationship is critical to the success and timeliness of the completion of the dissertation. Some doctoral candidates struggle to complete the dissertation in a timely manner and have a favorable experience. Emotions which emerge during the doctoral process, impact the well-being of the doctoral candidate and development of the dissertation. A quantitative, correlational study was conducted to discover the impact of the relationships of the doctoral candidate and the dissertation chair. Participants were recruited and completed a Likert-type survey to collect data.

Steele, P., Burleigh, C., & Young, E. (in press) .Considering educators’ perceptions of ethics and safety in virtual learning environments (VLEs). Journal of Educational Research & Practice.

With the emergence of virtual reality (VR) curriculum and programs designed specifically for K-12 and higher education, teachers may feel compelled to incorporate technology based learning in the classroom. The shift from a traditional ‘sage on the stage’ approach of teaching to developing relevant lesson plans based on increasing student engagement may be seen as daunting. Technology, including VR programs, have been introduced into both course curriculum and professional training applications as early as the 1990s. Contributions of this study could bring awareness of ethical considerations to educators, administrators, and curriculum specialists in the fields of pedagogical planning and instruction. Thoughtful consideration of this study’s results in the use of VR in VLEs could encourage those who have direct influence to adopt VR programs to investigate various ethical aspects of the application on the end-user, the student.

Whitfield, J. (2020). Using social media as a disruptive innovation for virtual learning. eLearning Industry. https://elearningindustry.com/using-social-media-as-disruptive-innovatio....

This article discusses how social media can potentially spark a new educational trend for increasing student engagement in a virtual learning environment. The essence of education is about teaching others how to think for themselves. However, the challenge is finding relevant ways to capture and maintain the attention of students who thrive in a multisensory society that encourages instant gratification at a glance. A mindset of disruptive innovation in education is necessary to compete within the growing mark of virtual learning. Maybe using social media to reach and micro-teach students can provide teachers with a new skillset that may potentially be necessary for virtual learning.

            The direct and indirect costs following an epilepsy diagnosis are a major healthcare burden worldwide. The economic burden that families and society face after an epilepsy diagnosis is an important issue to understand. Costs associated with epilepsy may be one of the most significant factors affecting seizure control. Early identification and understanding of the problem may create a collaborative environment for discussing ideas to mitigate these costs, likely increasing seizure control.

            University graduate and undergraduate students were compared for levels of exercise. A convenience sample of 137 students were assigned to two groups.

These two groups were compared on the transtheoretical model's five stages of change. At pretest, there was no distribution of performance toward increasing exercise across the five stages of change for students. However, at posttest, students in Group A with a goal were more likely to engage in mild (p <0.05) and moderate (p<0.05) exercise.

Miller, P., & Connelly, J. (2020). A Conceptual Framework for SMART Applications in Higher Education: Emerging Research and Opportunities. Hershey, PA: IGI-Global.

            The accumulation of information and the knowledge derived from it has been growing so rapidly that it resembles an explosion. Information is growing exponentially and at an accelerating rate. It has become increasing difficult to turn this vast quantity of information into knowledge. This book explores the areas of archaeology, behaviorism, cognitivism, higher education, knowledge doubling, long-term memory, memory pathways, neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, optimal learning, short-term memory, and smart technologies. The book discusses ways to apply what is known about teaching to how the brain operates and how to incorporate instructional design models into the teaching and learning process.
