▼ Performance evaluation for educators is intended to measure, develop, and support professional practices, and, in turn, improve student outcomes. To date, however, very little research exists to support the performance evaluation practices for non-classroom educators (Holdheide, Goe, Croft, & Reschly, 2010), such as educational speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Validity and reliability evidence for an experimental performance evaluation instrument specifically designed for SLPs was examined in this study. Study data were from 111 SLPs in a mid-size urban district who were evaluated one during an academic school year. The performance of the 111 SLPs was also described, so that any potential bias in the instrument could be examined. Results showed a restricted range of performance in which most SLPs were rated as proficient or exemplary on performance evaluation items. Some preliminary indications of bias were present, such that SLPs serving birth-five students, students with combined communication disorders, or students with moderate-severe disabilities were rated 6-10 points lower in total score (out of a maximum score of 108) compared to their colleagues who did not serve those populations. Construct validity analyses showed that the instrument's items were only loosely related to each other, although exploratory factor analyses did suggest an underlying structure of four domains. Face validity was gauged through optional perception surveys of the 111 SLPs in which the majority of survey participants felt the instrument items represented effective SLP practices. Finally, performance evaluation items demonstrating the highest evidence of reliability were related to an SLP’s planning of intervention; items with the lowest evidence of reliability were related to an SLP’s management of the session and rapport with students. Despite some limitations, it was concluded the SLP performance evaluation instrument showed initial evidence of being able to evaluate SLPs fairly, accurately, and with perceived credibility from the district SLPs.

▼ A avaliação do desempenho e a sua aplicação são, no actual enquadramento socioeconómico, cada vez mais necessárias, como forma de melhorar a eficácia e a eficiência entre as organizações. Para a prática profissional verifica-se que a implementação da avaliação de desempenho, apresenta lacunas que podem comprometê-la. Sabendo da importância do profissional para o sucesso da implementação da avaliação de desempenho, toma-se fundamental, analisar a sua percepção face ao modelo e sua implementação. O problema da instrução do presente estudo pretende saber quais as percepções dos técnicos de radiologia avaliados sujeitos ao modelo de avaliação de desempenho implantado no Hospital Curry Cabral. Tendo como objectivo ao nível da gestão, minimizar os obstáculos de implementação e maximizar os pontos fortes. Após pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os principais conceitos, foi definido domo objectivo da investigação empírica: - Comparar as percepções dos técnicos de radiologia submetidos ao modelo de avaliação desempenho ”Pró-Activo”. Recorrendo a uma metodologia exploratória e descritiva, estudámos o impacto dessas ferramentas utilizadas dentro da Unidade Hospitalar do estudo. A metodologia de recolha de informação aos profissionais expostos do estudo assentou em questionários de perguntas fechadas e abertas ambas com uma abordagem de carácter quantitativo. Para a análise e tratamento dos dados utilizou-se programas informáticos. As principais conclusões: verifica-se a falta de formação para todos os envolvidos, um processo desprovido de imparcialidade, neutralidade e rigor, bem como uma motivação geral dos profissionais em matéria de avaliação de desempenho. ABSTRACT - The evaluation of performance and its implementation are, in the current socioeconomic framing, each time more necessary as form to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency amidst the organizations. For the practical professional it is verified that the implementation of the performance evaluation, presents gaps that can compromise it. Knowing the importance of the individuals in the success of the implementation of the performance evaluation, it becomes basic to analyze its perceptions face to the model and its implementation. The problem of inquiry of this study pretends to know which the perceptions of the technicians of radiology evaluated and appraisers face to the models of evaluation of performance implanted in the Portuguese Hospitals (Hospital Curry Cabral). The purpose to the level of the management is to minimize the obstacles of implementation and to maximize the strong points. Bibliographical research on the main concepts was effectuated, after what we define the objectives of empirica inquiry: - To compare the perceptions of the radiology technicians subjected to models of performance evaluation “Pro-Activa”. Using an exploratory and descriptive approach, studied the impact of these tools used in the hospitals of the study. The methodology for collecting information to professionals out of the study based on questionnaires of both open and closed… Advisors/Committee Members: Silva, Paulo Resende da.

Ce travail est consacré à l’évaluation des performances de ciblage et à l’analyse d’impact de trois projets. La première étude porte sur l’accès à l’eau courante en République du Congo ; et l’auto-ciblage pratiqué à travers une tarification spécifique ne bénéficie qu’aux ménages connectés qui sont plutôt non pauvres. L’auto-ciblage fonctionne mieux pour le projet des travaux publics au Libéria ; la proportion de pauvres qui participent à ces travaux est élevée. En fait ce projet n’a aucune barrière à l’entrée, ce qui explique en partie ce bon résultat. Le ciblage du programme de modernisation agricole en RDC n’est pas très efficace non plus, les bénéficiaires n’étant souvent pas pauvres. L’impact en termes de réduction de la pauvreté est important dans les deux projets concernés par ce type d’analyse (modernisation agricole en RDC et travaux publics au Libéria), tout au moins pour les populations bénéficiaires. Le cas du projet de modernisation agricole en RDC montre néanmoins qu’il est important de prendre en compte d’autres facteurs pour obtenir un impact important, comme lever les contraintes liées au marché du crédit et à l’accès aux infrastructures

This work analyses the targeting performance and the impact evaluation of three projects. The first paper is about the water subsidies in the Republic of Congo. The study shows that the self-targeting scheme, using an Inverse Block Tariff structure has poor performance, indeed only those households who are connected can benefit from it, and they are usually non-poor. The self-targeting mechanism used in the Public Work program in Liberia works better since the proportion of poor involved in the program is high. This project has no entry barrier which partly explains the good result. The targeting performance of the Modernization of Agriculture project in the DRC is also poor, most of the beneficiaries being non-poor. The impact in terms of poverty reduction is important in both projects involved in this type of analysis (Modernization of Agriculture in the DRC and Public Work in Liberia), at least for the beneficiaries. The case of the DRC project, however, shows that it is important to lift some other constraints like access to credit and infrastructures in order to improve the impact of the program.

▼ Recently, the federal government has pressured states to add student growth data as a part of the evaluation system. State legislatures in New York and Colorado have passed legislation to revamp teacher and principal evaluation to include student growth data. Numerous researchers acknowledged the critical impact of school principals on student achievement, and asserted the need to develop a coherent evaluation that would assess and expand the capacity of principals. ❧ This study examined accountability indicators designed to evaluate elementary school principals. A quantitative approach was used to study correlation between six accountability indicators (Academic Performance Index (API) scores, similar-school ranks, residualized difference (RD) scores, Value Added Method (VA) scores, Academic Growth over Time (AGT) scores, and school experience surveys) and three external factors (socio-economic status, mean parent education level, and percentage of English Learners). ❧ The participants included elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District from 2005 to 2010. The data files were collected from the public websites, and were downloaded and analyzed. ❧ The study’s conclusions are: API scores were extremely stable, but AGT scores were not nearly as stable over the years. There was a steady growth in API over the years. Employee and student survey results were strongly correlated, but neither correlated to parent ratings. None of the school experience surveys were correlated with test-based accountability indices. API scores were strongly related to all three external factors, but VAM scores, AGT scores, RD scores, and school experience survey results were not related to them. ❧ API was found to be biased against principals who were working at a school with one or more disadvantageous external factors. Thus, using API as a part of a principal performance evaluation would be unfair. ❧ Results of this study highlights similar-school ranks, RD scores, VAM scores, AGT scores, and school experience surveys as potential accountability indicators that were unbiased and fair to be included in principal performance evaluation system. RD scores were found to be the most reliable accountability indicator. Due to their low cost and simplicity, RD scores should be considered as possible alternative to complex and expensive value-added systems.

The aim of the study was to improve employee’s performance and increase efficiency. The study revealed that there are challenges associated with the implementation of Employee Performance Management and Development System as an appraisal system within the Department of Education (iLembe District). The findings of the study showed that there was no proper training on EPMDS due to limited resources and unavailability of qualified practitioners. Hence, there was inconsistency in the implementation of EPMDS as an appraisal system which resulted in a lack of morale and demotivation in employees’ performance. Another contributing factor to employees lack of motivation was that the department was failing to pay performance bonuses to employees with good performance due to unavailability of funds. Furthermore, employees were not provided with performance outcomes. The study provides new strategies that will assist to improve performance within the District office. Therefore, the study recommends that Human Resource Development should identify and provide new necessary skills, competencies and proper training to District employees. The study further suggests that managers should liaise and provide performance feedback. The study suggests that the department should allocate funds and pay performance bonus to deserving employees. The research employed in this study is the triangulation method. A sample of 100 respondents was drawn from a population of 800 employees in the iLembe District; Department of Education. A non-probability sampling known as purposive sampling was utilised to generate qualitative data and probability sampling was employed to generate quantitative data.

▼ In this study, I examine the effect of explicit relative performance evaluation (RPE) on managers? investment decisions and firm performance. Principal-agent theory suggests that firms can motivate managers to act in shareholders? interest by linking their compensation to firm performance. However, firm performance is often affected by exogenous factors that simultaneously affect peer firms? performance, and therefore, performance-based compensation may expose managers to common risk that they cannot control. In such cases, theoretical models show that firms can improve risk sharing and incentive alignment by compensating managers on performance relative to peers to remove the effect of common shocks. However, RPE may be ineffective in addressing agency costs in practice because firms may select suboptimal peer groups, whether because appropriate peers are unavailable or because managers choose underperforming peers for self-serving reasons. Therefore, the question of whether explicit RPE use in executive compensation reduces agency costs remains unanswered in the empirical literature. I take advantage of expanded disclosures mandated in 2006 by the Securities Exchange Commission to examine whether explicit RPE improves managerial performance as measured by investment efficiency and changes in shareholder wealth. After controlling for selection bias, I find that RPE firms are generally less likely to over- or underinvest than non-RPE firms, consistent with RPE improving decisions and aligning managers? incentives with shareholders? interests. Moreover, firms that invest more efficiently have higher future profitability and operating performance than those that underinvest or overinvest. Second, I find that RPE firms do not generally have higher one-year or two-year total shareholder return (TSR) than non-RPE firms in the overall sample after I control for other fundamental determinants. However, RPE firms that specifically contract on TSR have higher performance than non-RPE firms. Finally, I find that RPE firms that choose peers with high common risk have higher returns than non-RPE firms: the positive effects of RPE on firm performance increase with the extent of common risk captured by peers, consistent with the predictions of principal-agent theory. Together, these results suggest that RPE use in CEO compensation plans reduces agency costs and improves incentive alignment.

▼ Taiwan panel industry is facing heavy challenges from countries such as Japan,Korea and Mainland China which are rapidly stepping up their panel factories. Domestic panel industries, although not backed by the country and the capital market, the industriesâtechnology quality has competitiveness, healthy financial nature, and has future revenue growth power strengthened through vertical integration adding to value. Except machinery, tool, and technology, the enterpriseâ core competitiveness asset is the âPeopleâ. What will the enterpriseâ training program for its employee be? It has to be based on the âdevelopment of employeeâs space time concept mapâ, each employeeâs tenure of work and different positions mapping the spacing time for progress. Policy based courses attest cultivation according to the requirements of the law. These courses included efficiency audit, in-training and cultivation stage according to different positions, quality development, eco-friendly and sustainable products, legal counsel, customer auditing and the likes. Based on the standard function of each member, the professional training program needs to have in depth participation in business marketing, technology research and development, manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, production management, and management positions professional certification training. The significant focus should be in the employeeâs competitiveness. This important series of bridges are the âTop level executivesâ. These corporate level executives enhancing leadership toward enterprises are like the shafts of a car which are indispensable. This study is based on Taiwan panel industry in response to the convergence gap of its primary level staff and the management of the new generation of employees. The research on leadership improvement is divided into three directions, namely: the establishment of successful team (goal setting and management), guidance (management strategy capabilities), and performance improvement (performance management assessment); the research interview data came from InnoLux Electronics Co., Ltd., the respondents total 46 partners are from the various departments within the enterprise (R&D, business, manufacturing, quality control, storage and transportation) primary level executives, and 32 copies of effective exchanges of interview questionnaires. This research study explores the implementation of the current corporate culture indicating that top level executives agree that employee commitment degree are low, compared with the performance of high turnover rate in the enterprise. Target setting (KPI) is derived from SMART principle; having only 10 to 15 percent growth, subordinates may feel senseless; acquiring 30 percent growth, the subordinates may feel challenged; having as much as 50 percent growth, top executives may utilize the employee development and set a target into several stages, letting the subordinate progress in such stages. Old management mindset is like a mandatory radish and sick (old Taiwanese expression).

▼ The research assessed the implementation of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Malawian civil service using a change diagnostic model called ‘causal model of organisational performance change’ by Burke and Litwin (1992). The motivation for the research topic comes from a background of the Malawi Government’s goal of improving service delivery to the public. The government launched the performance management system as one of the change interventions that would assist in achieving its service provision goal. For the achievement of the service provision goals, the PMS had to be implemented effectively. Using an integrative approach, the research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to obtain data that was structured around the organisational elements of the Burke-Litwin model. Using purposive sampling, 195 departments in the Malawian Civil Service formed the population from which the sample was drawn. Of the 195 departments, 69 departments, represented by an officer from each department, participated in the study. Three departments namely; The Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), The Department of Human Resource Management and Development (DHRMD) and The Civil Service Commission (CSC) were included in the sample in addition to the 69 departments. These three departments were chosen due to their involvement in the formulation and implementation of the Performance Management System (PMS). Information from the three departments was obtained through interviews while questionnaires were administered to the remaining sample subjects. The research found that both the transformational and transactional factors were lacking in supporting the implementation of the PMS in Malawian civil service. Fundamental prerequisites like systems’ compatibility, assessment of enabling culture and amendments of relevant laws were not considered before the implementation of the system. Upon commencement of the implementation process the support from political leaders and donors declined and the evaluation process lacked inclusion of key stakeholders. The current research expands the application of the Burke-Litwin model in assessing the ‘post change intervention’ implementation processes. The findings could possibly provide valuable input in the form of the following recommendations: The government should consider working on the culture of the civil servants, the capacity of the implementing structure of PMS, the evaluation of the PMS and the prerequisites for the programme. The government should consider being inclusive when evaluating PMS and in assessing the performance of employees, and lastly, there is need to fully utilise technology and the functional position of stakeholders like the Civil Service Commission Advisors/Committee Members: Munyaka, S Dr, Bowler, J.

M.Com. (Business Management)

Introduction to the study Short-term incentives for managers generate interest among employees and executives in South Africa. In the health care industry competency-based performance systems for enhancing both individual and organisational performance have been growing in popularity in the last decade, as they are linked to the quality of diagnosis-specific services. Objectives of the study The objective of the study is to identify the nature of the main components of an appropriate short-term incentive scheme for private hospital managers. Are these schemes in place? If so, how do they work? The study seeks to delve into the experiences of hospital managers regarding their awareness of short-term incentive strategies by researching their views, attitudes and feelings regarding short-term incentives. Literature review The review of the literature indicates that the health care industry faces pressure to balance the quality of health care, on the one hand, with the escalating costs of health care and efforts to motivate hospital managers, on the other. Done correct ly short - term incent ive schemes are a powerful mot ivat ion tool if the intr insic and ext rinsic mot ivators are balanced adequately especially in a hospital set t ing where incor rect implementat ion can lead to unintended consequences. Research methodology The study utilises a qualitative strategy to provide an in-depth description of hospital managers‟ perceptions, understanding, and experiences of short-term incentives. The participatory approach reduces mistrust between subjects and researchers. Main findings The study found that the hospital managers are sharply aware and have a well developed understanding of the short-term incentives practiced in the private hospital sector. Short-term incentives may not be the major motivator but they are critical in ensuring that hospital managers stay motivated. Conclusion Providing a proper balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators is crucial in designing a framework that will keep hospital managers motivated and performing their work better.

▼ The ability of an explosive to break rock is influenced considerably by the extent of confinement in the blasthole and it is believed that confinement is improved by the use of stemming. The aim of this paper is to present the first and second stages of results in developing a stemming performance testing and evaluation facility for small diameter boreholes. The results showed that different stemming products have differences in terms of their functionality, which can have a major impact on the efficiency of rock breaking. Two test procedures were used, one through the exclusive use of compressed air and the second using a purpose built high pressure test rig with small quantities of explosives. Both tests were used to identify and evaluate the ability of various stemming products to resist the escape of explosive gas through the collar of a blasthole. Extensive research was conducted to determine the types of stemming products most commonly used in South African underground hard rock mines, and the differences in design between the various products are discussed. The first stage of tests using compressed air only did not prove adequate to predict with certainty the pressure behaviour in the borehole of a particular product under high pressure conditions. The purpose built high pressure test rig did not prove to be a very effective tool to test stemming products under high pressure conditions. The test rig only incorporated the effect of gas pressure on the stemming product and in doing so omitted to take the effect of the shock wave into account. This study proved that to only take the gas pressure generated in the blasthole into account in not sufficient to effectively test stemming product design. A more comprehensive study should include the effect of gas pressure in the borehole, shock waves generated by the explosive and also the coefficient of friction of both the surface of the stemming product as well as the inside of the blasthole.

▼ This study assessed the challenges faced while implementing the balanced scorecard system particularly in measurement, cascading and evaluation tasks in the case of Information Network SecurityAgency (INSA). The study tries to evaluate the challenges faced by the Agency in implementing the tasks as compared to the standard literatures of the system. The study adopted descriptive research with a primary purpose of assessing challenges faced by the Agency in implementing the balanced scorecard as their performance and strategic management system. In order to assess the implementation status, the study has been conducted by designing five-point likert scale questionnaires and semi-structured interview questions. The total sample size of the questionnaires is 286 involving team managers and permanent nonmanagement employees of the Agency. In this case the study adopted probability sampling particularly stratified random sampling technique based on size of positions held (middle management and non-management) in each department (as strata) to select 286 sample size,where as in the case of semi structured interview the study adopted purposive sampling technique to select 5 respondents who have the working knowledge of the system. Accordingly the study identified the challenges such as insufficient KPI to measure objectives, deficiency in assignment of measurement data validation body, boss influence on evaluation, absence of clear attachment between high performance and reward, and lack of continuous communication on changes of the middle level scorecard to lower level as the challenges in the study. Based on the findings the study proposes to the Agency to conduct intensive awareness creation on how to produce relevant and sufficient KPI so as to capture full spectrum of the objectives, to assign measurement data validation body to each measurement so as to reduces and- bagging or data gamming, to communicate clearly changes in higher tiers scorecard to lower tiers and further more to attach visibly the reward-system with performance result to effectively take advantage of the Balanced Scorecard system.

▼ The requirements for future DVB-T/H networks demand that broadcasters design and deploy networks that provide ubiquitous reception in challenging indoors and other obstructed situations. It is essential that such networks are designed cost-effectively and with minimized environmental impact. The use of transmit diversity techniques with multiple antennas have long been proposed to improve the performance and capacity of wireless systems. Transmit diversity exploits the scattering effect inherent in the channel by means of transmitting multiple signals in a controlled manner from spatially separated antennas, allowing independently faded signals to arrive at the receiver and improves the chances of decoding a signal of acceptable quality. Transmit diversity can complement receive diversity by adding an additional diversity gain and in situations where receiver diversity is not practical, transmit diversity alone delivers a comparable amount of diversity gain. Transmit Delay Diversity (DD) can be applied to systems employing the DVB standard without receiver equipment modifications. Although transmit DD can provide a gain in NLOS situations, it can introduce degradation in LOS situation. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effectiveness in real-word applications of novel diversity techniques for broadcast transmitter networks. Tests involved laboratory experiments using a wireless MIMO channel emulator and the deployment of a field measurement campaign dedicated to driving, indoor and rooftop reception. The relationship between the diversity gain, the propagation environment and several parameters such as the transmit antenna separation, the receiver speed and the Forward Error Correction Codes (FEC) configuration are investigated. Results includes the effect of real-word parameter usually not modeled in the software simulation analysis, such as antenna radiation patterns and mutual coupling, scattering vegetation impact, non-Gaussian noise sources and receiver implementation. Moreover, a practical analysis of the effectiveness of experimental techniques to mitigate the loss due to transmit DD loss in rooftop reception is presented. The results of this thesis confirmed, completed and extended the existing predictions with real word measurement results.

▼ The combined impact of node architecture and workload characteristics on off-chip network traffic with performance/cost analysis has not been investigated before in the context of emerging cloud applications. Motivated by this observation, this work performs a thorough characterization of different cloud workloads using a full-system datacenter simulation infrastructure. We first study the inherent network characteristics of emerging cloud applications including message inter-arrival times, packet sizes, inter-node communication overhead, self-similarity, and traffic volume. Then, we study the effect of hardware architectural metrics on network traffic. Our experimental analysis reveals that (1) the message arrival times and packet-size distributions exhibit variances across different cloud applications; (2) the inter-arrival times imply a large amount of self-similarity as the number of nodes increase; (3) the node architecture can play a significant role in shaping the overall network traffic; and finally, (4) the applications we study can be broadly divided into those which perform better in a scale-out or scale-up configuration at node level and into two categories, namely, those that have long-duration, low-burst flows and those that have short-duration, high-burst flows. Using the results of (3) and (4), we discuss the performance/cost trade-offs for scale-out and scale-up approaches and proposes an analytical model that can be used to predict the communication and computation demand for different configurations. It is shown that the difference between two different node architecture's performance per dollar cost (under same number of cores system wide) can be as high as 154 percent which disclose the need for accurate characterization of cloud applications before wasting the precious cloud resources by allocating wrong architecture. The results of this study can be used for system modeling, capacity planning and managing heterogeneous resources for large-scale system designs.

▼ The topic of this thesis is the use of steering measures to evaluate the improvement in performance exhibited by those participating in driving simulation experiments. If the steering measure improves over time, it may be an indicator that the participant is learning to drive the simulator. Understanding which steering measure best shows improvement is therefore valuable to future driving simulation experiments where identifying whether or not participants have improved their performance is crucial to the validity of the simulation experimental results.In the literature, a variety of measures describing steering and speed control have been used to evaluate driving performance on several maneuvers and/or tasks. Learning has been described as the reduction of steering variability, a decrease in the distance of the vehicle from the center of the travel lane, an increase in average speed, and a decrease in travel time. Various researchers have reported observing an improvement over time in the case of lane keeping and over trials of specific maneuvers such as lane changing.To examine whether a steering input measure or a lane position measure is superior in identifying the performance improvement of participants, data from a previously conducted driving simulation experiment were used. The experimental scenario was of a 2-lane rural road with alternating straight road segments and horizontal curves. There were 120 straight segments, each 400 m long and 120 horizontal curves, each subtending 90 degrees with a radius of 200 m. The posted speed limit was 50 mph (80 km/h). Thescenario had been driven by twenty participants, 7 females and 13 males. Each participant drove the same scenario in either the RS-100 or the RS-600 driving simulator.The data for each of the 20 participants for the first 20 horizontal curves and straight segments were reduced into 6 performance measures: average lane position (AVE(LP)), standard deviation of lane position (SD(LP)), root mean square of lane position (RMS(LP)), average steering input (AVE(SI)), standard deviation of steering input (SD(SI)), and root mean square of steering input (RMS(SI)) . To distinguish between relatively good behavior and poor behavior, the number of times the simulator vehicle was out of the intended travel lane was counted for each horizontal curve and straight segment.The purpose of this thesis was to examine whether a steering input measure or a lane position measure is superior in identifying the performance improvement of participants. Based on the findings from McGehee et al (2004), the variability of steering input is expected to decrease over time. Additionally, the findings from Sahami and Sayed (2010, 2013) suggest that the standard deviation of lane position will decrease over time. What is not clear is whether the steering input or the standard deviation of lane position is the better, or more sensitive measure.A visual analysis of graphical plots is conducted on the data for each of the performance measures. A measure which shows large pertubations is… Advisors/Committee Members: Jenkins, Jacqueline M. (Advisor).

▼ Carbon emissions generated by the building sector have come under stricter limits with the amendments to Approved Document L: Conservation of Fuel and Power of the building regulations for England and Wales. Building designs are now checked to ensure that new constructions have the designed capabilities to operate with a higher standard of efficiency. However, there are currently no means of ensuring that the mandatory improvements in design and construction are actually translating into real life improvements during the actual operation of the building. Assessment methodologies such as the Display Energy Certificate are applied annually. The large interval between audits has the potential risk that poor performance may go unnoticed for prolonged periods of time. Real time assessment of energy performance that is linked to legislative requirements would aid the process of ensuring reductions in carbon emissions occur in reality. Evaluating the energy performance in real time is not a straight forward task; commercial buildings are complex nonlinear dynamic systems with a number of operating states, functions and features. These factors need to be taken into consideration for the fair appraisal of energy performance. Condition monitoring has been applied extensively to the field of machine health, in which the state of a system is determined through measuring the parameters that are indicative of its health. Within this thesis, a unique method of real time energy performance has been developed along with the implementation of two condition monitoring strategies for the purposes of state evaluation and fault detection and diagnosis. Kernel based dimensionality techniques have recently gained popularity as a means of modelling nonlinear systems. It was found that the application of nonlinear condition monitoring strategies for determination of building state was proficient in determining slow developing faults and abrupt changes in building state. However, the occurrences of non-acceptable incipient changes in state were harder to detect. Hence the state evaluation techniques were complemented with component level fault detection and diagnosis techniques. These techniques have the combined ability to address the requirement for assessing the state of operation within a building to allow for fair appraisal of the energy performance.

A professional practice instructor (PPI), as an evaluator of student performance in professional practice, makes important decisions as to whether nursing students are meeting course requirements. Several nursing education studies have reported that students whose performances are deemed unsatisfactory in professional practice courses nonetheless continue to receive passing grades. While this phenomenon, known as “failure to fail,” has been documented in studies involving nursing preceptors, it has yet to be the subject of an in-depth exploration among PPIs. Utilizing Gadamer’s (2011) philosophical hermeneutics and Fleming, Gaidys, and Robb’s (2003) hermeneutic methodology, this qualitative study sought to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of PPIs (n = 8) in evaluating unsatisfactory student performance within three educational institutions using a collaborative undergraduate nursing program (UNP) in Southern Ontario. This study revealed that evaluating unsatisfactory student performance is an emotionally draining experience for PPIs. The perception of an overwhelming workload and complex challenges can make it difficult for PPIs to assign a failing grade to a student, especially among novice PPIs. Furthermore, both assigning a failing grade and failing to fail students were found to have a negative impact on all participants in this study. Amid these difficulties, ongoing critical reflection and seeking collegial support and feedback were deemed helpful in validating a PPI’s decision-making, as well as alleviating the emotional aspects of grading experiences. While this study reinforces that stressors are inevitable when evaluating unsatisfactory student performance, they may be ameliorated through the creation of mandatory multi-modal orientation programs for all PPIs within educational nursing institutions. Furthermore, mentorship programs for novice PPIs might better prepare and support them in coping with the complex issues related to managing failing students.
