Consider also your own interests and career aspirations and identify a problem of interest or relevance to you and amenable to a social psychological solution. (For example, those interested in healthcare might consider programs that aspire to get kids moving or help adults stop smoking, enhance caregiving practices amongst the elderly, or encourage safe or healthy habits.)

Behaviorism, social cognitive theory, and information processing theory all have processes that affect self-regulated learning. Analyze the various processes within each of these three learning theories from a self-regulation perspective and recommend a strategy to use each theory in a classroom situation to enhance self-regulated learning.
In this unit, you examine the concept of self-regulation as a combination of metacognition and effort. You learn what it takes to be a self-regulated learner.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Metacognition is often simply defined as “thinking about thinking,” but there is really more to it than that. In reality, metacognition is comprised of two related sets of skills:
Understanding what skill a task requires.
Knowing how and when to use those skills.
In this unit, you also discover what it takes to use these higher order thinking skills and how to apply them in the classroom to increase student achievement.
OBJECTIVES
To successfully complete this learning unit, you will be expected to:
Examine the relationships between self-regulation and behaviorism, social cognitive theory, information processing theory, and motivation.
Explain the relationship between self-regulation and metacognition and the role each plays in learning and performance.
Explain the self-regulation processes within behaviorism, social cognitive theory, and information processing theory.
Use your textbook to complete the following:
In Learning Theories: An Educational Perspective, read Chapter 9, “Self-Regulation,” pages 401–443. Self-monitoring, self-instruction, and self-reinforcement are the cornerstones of self-regulation—and goal-setting is important as well.
Use your coursepack to complete the following:
In Handbook of Self-Regulation, read Zimmerman’s 2000 article, “Attaining Self-Regulation: A Social Cognitive Perspective,” pages 13–39. In this article, Zimmerman extends Bandura’s triadic definition of self-regulation and discusses the structure of self-regulatory systems, social and physical environmental contexts, and how to develop self-regulation.
Use the Capella University Library to complete the following:
Read Malpass, O’Neil, and Hocevar’s 1999 article, “Self-Regulation, Goal Orientation, Self-Efficacy, Worry, and High-Stakes Math Achievement for Mathematically Gifted High School Students,” pages 281–288 from Roeper Review, volume 21, issue 4. This article is a publication of Dr. Malpass’s 1994 dissertation. It covers the many constructs listed in the title. The results of this research are recommendations to teachers for increasing student achievement.
Read Kaplan’s 2008 article, “Clarifying Metacognition, Self-regulation, and Self-regulated Learning: What’s the Purpose?” from Educational Psychology Review, volume 20, issue 4, pages 477–484.
For this network design assignment, you are free to come up with a fictional midsized company engaged in a dot-com business for which you will select the business focus. The company can be a service-oriented or information-provider enterprise. You should note that the company is a start-up and sells no physical products but the company is positioned to manage any type of e-commerce operation online and through its office-based and mobile workforce.
Assume that you are a telecommunications professional hired by this company to design its telecommunications network, serving all management and operations activities. The company has its offices in five different cities across the United States, with its main office in a major city. The company has around 250 employees, which include executives, managers, support staff, salespeople, and technical staff. As the company is new, the size of the client base is small but the company is expected to grow steadily in the foreseeable future. All clients are corporate clients.
Each office has a general manager, office and department managers, and support staff. All executives as well as the technical staff are located in the main office and all the salespeople are mobile. The telecommunications system must support interoffice communications across all locations and with the mobile salespeople. The executives must be able to communicate securely with the general managers, and the general managers must be able to communicate with the office and department managers on a regular basis to get both voice and data information about clients.
In addition, the salespeople must be able to communicate with clients and the main office via voice, e-mail, and two-way videoconferencing. The clients must be able to communicate directly with the general managers and executives in the same way. All communications must be kept secure and then archived as part of the organizational knowledge base of the company that will be used to support decisions across the current enterprise and as the company grows and expands to more locations.
You need to prepare a comprehensive network design proposal for the company. The network design proposal should address all the perceived telecommunications requirements. In addition, the network design should also address any additional telecommunications requirements that you may identify in the process of describing your chosen company and explaining its business and operations. You are required to prepare a formal proposal and a customer-briefing presentation.
n this week’s assignment, you will start your assignment by describing your customer and the network requirements of your customer. You may refine the customer’s network requirements through the rest of the weekly deliverables.
In addition, you also need to complete the following tasks:
Create a scenario for a fictional midsized company. Work on your proposed technical solution by describing the network topology required to address all the requirements of the scenario. Prepare a table in which you identify the vendor equipment, cost, and other charges, keeping in mind that your design should provide a cost-effective solution. Compare various vendors’ costs and other charges. Finally, create a network topology diagram.
Note: Click here for a website that allows you to choose a tool to create a network topology diagram.
Compile your answers to both parts of this assignment in a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.

Discussion: Using Evaluation Tools to Assess Quality Improvement Efforts
Like most other things in life, outcomes are the bottom line with respect to measurement of success along the path of quality improvement. However, without a careful analysis of the link between access, process, and structure of care, improvements in outcomes seem unattainable.—Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, & Shabot, 2013In this Discussion, you consider how to collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the results of quality improvement initiatives. In addition, you discuss the significance of evaluation and how you, as a nurse leader-manager, can contribute in an organization to the large-scale goal of facilitating quality improvement.
To prepare:Review methods for measuring and evaluating quality improvement efforts presented in the Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to how and why it is important to measure outcomes.Select one evaluation tool and analyze its benefits and relevance for the quality improvement plan you are developing for your Course Project.Consider how you, as a nurse leader-manager, can use the results from the evaluation to support the organization’s overarching goals for quality improvement.
By Day 3 Post a brief description of the evaluation tool that you selected. Explain the benefits of applying this tool as part of your quality improvement plan in the Course Project. Also explain how you could use the results from the evaluation to support the organization’s overarching goals for quality improvement.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional resources.

If supervisors and job incumbents disagreed about the relative importance and weights of various job duties, how would you reconcile their conflicting opinions?
For example, if a supervisor emphasized the technical aspects of a customer service representative’s job and the representatives emphasized the interpersonal aspects of listening to customers and understanding their problems, what would you do?
