Institutional Ethnography

Drawing from ethnomethodology, IE focuses on how everyday experience is socially organized. Ideological shifts have changed the view of research as purely technical and rational to one of social practice embedded in particular cultural, political, and historical contexts. Research has translated into partially unsuccessful practice because it negates individuals' unique experiences based on race, ethnicity, class, and gender, allowing for a monolithic view to become the given reality for all those who live in today's society. Because adult vocational education is practiced in a highly charged political context, amongst a nexus of interconnected and interdependent social processes such as federal and state legislation, program funding and planning, literacy work, and employment training, discourse sets the parameters for a person's ability or inability to navigate the structural and political subsystems that impact learning, teaching, and work. Power is critically important as an analytic focus which crosses boundaries providing researchers a view of social organization that illuminates practices that marginalize.

Adults with Disabilities and The Accommodation Communication in Higher Education

This qualitative study describes the accommodation communication as it occurs between faculty in ... more This qualitative study describes the accommodation communication as it occurs between faculty in higher education and students with visible and invisible disabilities. Elements of an accommodation communication model are: (a) disclosure, (b) validation, (c) request, (d) responsibility, (e) timing, and (f) negotiation. The disability rights movement began in the fall of 1962 with Ed Roberts’s decision to chose a school based on his academic needs not his disability (Shapiro, 1993). In 1962, only four university campuses were accessible to individuals with disabilities. Children with disabilities were not guaranteed an education nor was there a legally protected right to an accessible education for non-veterans until the seventies. The passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P. L. 93-112 ) containing Section 504 made it illegal for any federal agency, public university, or recipient of federal funds to discriminate against an individual on the basis of a disability. Section 504 pre...

Using the random sampling, 384 employees were selected, and a questionnaire survey was carried out to collect data. Using F-test and t-test, the study found that the training and development, career development and performance management have significant impact on employee engagement in Nepalese commercial banks. The study also revealed that male employees have more emphasis on performance management but female employees have more emphasis on training and development. Likewise, the employees up to the officer level have also more emphasis on performance management but the employees below officer level have more emphasis on training and development.
