Ipsative assessment to improve argumentative essay writing aimed at studying how an alternative type of assessment, which persuaded learners to reflect on the feedback received and involved them as active assessment participants, influenced the writing skill of 24 students from two Colombian universities. The queries addressed throughout the chapter were analyzing the way students structured their essays by means of the Ipsative feedback and the influence of the assessment approach on students at the self-management levels. Findings revealed that through Ipsative assessment students enhanced their argumentative essay writing as they grasped the structural and reflective nature of this skill. Furthermore, the comparison of various drafts allowed learners to reflect on their improvements at the same time they raised self-awareness of progress and the whole process took students to the realization that they were developing generic skills useful for academic discourse. This chapter was also concerned with the effects of Ipsative assessment on self-directedness and lifelong learning.

Abstract Background Chronic cardiovascular disease (CAD) still is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries in spite of substantial progress in diagnostics and therapy. Programs of lifestyle management are effective but insufficiently established in usual patient care. The authors provide multi professional educational courses to strengthen self management capabilities for cardiovascular patients in five different institutions in Europe since up to 20 years in modification of the program of Dr. Dean Ornish. Physicians, psychologists, dietitians and artistic and movement therapists work together in courses lasting from half a year to one year. To implement their programs in daily care, an association of these five institutions will evaluate a common lifestyle management program in four phases: 1. development of a common curriculum, 2. pilot study, 3. interventional study, 4. implementation study. Phase 1 is now completed. The evaluation will show, whether this lifestyle management program leads to improvement of health in patients and in the therapeutic team. Purpose of phase 1: development of a common curriculum by the five active members of the association. Methods The five existing educational programs were assessed and differences between the programs themselves and other existing programs of patient education were defined. Distinctive and common features of the different institutions were recorded. Structured interviews with members of all institutions acquired content, methods and eductional goals of the interventions according to predefined criteria for patient education programs in the respective countries. The results were discussed, reflected and a common curriculum was consented. Results The consented multi professional curriculum, comprising the activities of five active heart education programs defines five different levels of competence which are key of their patient education goals: (1) reflective self-awareness (I-competence), (2) artistic competence, (3) competence of ensouled movement, (4) nutritional competence and (5) social competence. The main difference between the already existing programs for patients with CAD and the newly developed curriculum is the emphasis on training the participants' self awareness and social competence, for example by biography work in an interdisciplinary approach. Levels of competence Conclusion The process of generating a common curriculum of competence levels, educational goals and necessary methods comprising the work of five different but associated institutions was successful. A pilot study will now be performed to show the effects of this program on cardiovascular health and quality of live of study participants and the therapeutic team as well to show, whether this intervention reduces the risk of burn out for the therapists. By this the authors hope to implement their education program according to the curriculum as an improvement of standard therapy for patients with cardiovascular disease.

The aim of this study is to predict career search self-efficacy. In this context, predictive variables are self-transcendence, self-consciousness and self-control and self-management. The research data obtained from 1278 university students. 786 (61.5%) were girls. Regression analysis and correlation analysis were used. According to the findings, it was determined that self- transcendence, self-control and self-management, social anxiety, appearance consciousness and internal self-awareness were significant predictors of career search self-efficacy. The strongest predictor is the variable self-transcendence. In this context, experimental interventions or psycho-educational programs based on these skills, which are related to the self, can be tested in order to increase career search self-efficacy.

With the growth of IoT based applications day by day huge volume of data is generated, which becomes a challenging issue for researchers. Fog computing is seem to be an effective solution for managing huge volume of data which is mainly security critical and time sensitive produced by IoT devices or sensors. In this paper we first present an integration of cloud and IoT as substantial number of application scenarios empowered by their Integration and discuss threats challenges & existing solutions related to it. Followed by this, we discussed fog computing which supports the integration of cloud and IoT, further the issues related to fog has been explored. We proposed a concept of self-awareness in Fog computing termed as Autonomic Fog Computing. Autonomic fog computing is introducing the features of Self-management and hence increase the efficiency and enhance the overall system performance.

The article deals with the current pedagogical approaches to the components, structure and description of analytical activity. Different models of analytical activity are reviewed: activity approach (E.V. Naznachilo, N.A. Zinchuk, V.V. Yagupov, N.P. Pichugova), systematic approach (L.P. Polovenko, O.N. Yarygin, and A.A. Korostelev), structural-activity approach (L.M. Plakhova). Within each approach the main components and stages of the analytical activity are described. The emphasis is laid on the three-dimensional model of analytical practice of the school principal: the technology of the analysis of the results of educational system operation (A.A. Korostelev), the element of that is a heuristic algorithm of unmathematical character, consisting of five stages. This technology combined a motivational sense, target, technological levels. The structural components of the analytical activity of the schools head are highlighted and described: value-motivation (personality attitude of leader toward analytical activity, value of parties and her meaningfulness in administrative activity, necessity of personality to improve and develop in this type of activity), goal-oriented (intentional aspect), cognitive-operational (complex of knowledge, abilities, practical skills, necessary for realization of effective and effective analytical activity) and reflective (self-esteem, self-awareness, self-management, self-design their own analytical activities).
