  Learning Methods Methods for visual learners include ensuring that students can see words written, using pictures, and drawing timelines for events.  Methods for auditory learners include repeating words aloud, small-group discussion, and debates, listening to books on tape, oral reports, and oral interpretation. Five ways to learn include visual, auditory, text-based, kinesthetic, and multimodal learning. The VARK model of learning styles suggests that people tend to have a certain preference for one or more of these ways to learn. It’s one of the most common methods to identify learning styles. Fleming proposed four primary learning preferences visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. The first letter of each spells out the acronym (VARK). We’ll go over the VARK learning styles and three others that researchers and educators have identified below.   The seven types of learning New Zealand educator Neil Fleming developed the VARK model in 1987...

  The Global Context for HRM   In a world where globalization has meant that employees can work for international organizations across the planet, there is a need for human resource management (HRM) practices that are considered within a global context. The relationships between these globalizing actors are often contested. A key challenge within the field of international human resource management (HRM) is the greater integration of multinational firms and how this gives rise to the globalization of norms that affect work (Scoter et al., 2021). One of the key functions of HRM is performance management. Performance management used to be mainly centered on managers, professionals, and employees working in tech, but now staff at all levels are involved in the appraisal process. When administering HR across different countries, employers must strike a balance between global, regional, and in-coun...

  Evolution of the Human resources function   Origins of Human Resource Function The evolution of the human resource function can be traced back to the early developments in industrialization and labor movements. Specifically, the advent of factory systems in the late 18th and early 19th centuries led to a major shift in the organization of labor and the management of employee relations (Martinez-Lucio & Mackenzie, 2012). At that time, the primary concern of employers was to maximize productivity and maintain control over the workforce. Influence of Scientific Management One of the earliest drivers of the human resource function was the emergence of scientific management in the 20th century, a concept developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor (Kressler, 2003). Taylor's principles of scientific management sought to establish standardized processes and efficiency in the workplace. This involved breaking down tasks into smaller units, defining clear job roles and respons...
