Exploring the Effects of Goal Setting When Training for Complex Crowdsourcing Tasks (Extended Abstract)

Training is one way of enabling novice workers to work on complex crowdsourcing tasks. Based on goal setting theory in psychology, we conduct a randomized experiment to study whether and how setting different goals---including performance goal, learning goal, and behavioral goal---when training workers for a complex crowdsourcing task affects workers' learning perception, learning gain, and post-training performance. We find that setting different goals during training significantly affects workers' learning perception, but does not have an effect on learning gain or post-training performance. Further, exploratory analysis helps shed light on when and why various goals may or may not work in the crowdsourcing context.

Factors Predicting Adequate Glycemic Control after Participation in Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Program: The Role of Behavioral Change

Objective: To explore the predictors of achieving adequate glycemic control at a 6-months follow-up in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who participated in the diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) program. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study of T2D patients who completed the DSMES program (an initial visit and a 3-month follow-up) at Ramathibodi Hospital between 2014 and 2017 was conducted. Behavioral goals were set at the initial visit and whether these were achieved by the patients was assessed at a 3-month follow-up. Diabetes history, baseline, and 6-month hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) values were collected. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of adequate glycemic control at 6-month, defined as HbA1c of less than 7% or less than 7.5% in those younger than 65 years or those 65 years or older, respectively. Results: Ninety-two patients were included, with a mean (SD) age 60.7 (10.9) years, an average diabetes duration of 9.1 (9.5) years and 51.1% were using insulin. Seventy-six patients (82.6%) reported that they achieved behavioral goals as set at the initial visit, and 56.5% had adequate glycemic control at 6-month. Multiple regression analysis adjusting for age, baseline HbA1c, and insulin use revealed that behavioral goal achievement at three months was independently associated with HbA1c achievement at six months (OR 3.473, 95% CI 1.005 to 12.001), while higher baseline HbA1c was associated with a lower likelihood of achieving adequate glycemic control (OR 0.727, 95% CI 0.540 to 0.979). Conclusion: Behavioral goal achievement was an independent predictor of adequate glycemic control in participants of the DSMES programs, suggesting that adherence to behavioral changes can improve clinical outcomes. Goal setting skills should be adopted by diabetes educators and incorporated as a key part of DSMES process.

Getting Into the Pool

This chapter introduces the next component of treatment—therapeutic exposure to feared situations (facing the situations that make someone anxious). Therapeutic exposure is a powerful technique that helps with the three components of social anxiety: behavioral, cognitive, and physiological. How exposure works and why it is such a crucial step in overcoming social anxiety are reviewed. The chapter presents the steps involved in completing a first in-session exposure, including picking the situation, doing the cognitive restructuring, setting an achievable behavioral goal, entering the situation, and processing what was learned from the exposure. The first in-session exposure is a highlight of this therapy.

Exposure and Cognitive Restructuring

The first in-session exposure is a highlight of this therapy. (It is specified that exposure must occur no later than session 8 of treatment.) This is the first opportunity to fully integrate all of the therapeutic elements. Everything up to this point has been preparation for facing feared situations. Prior to the session, the therapist is instructed to review the client’s Fear and Avoidance Hierarchy and to determine what situation will likely be role-played. For the first exposure, simple, straightforward scenarios that require little “pretending” are the best. Although it is easy to skip setting an achievable behavioral goal to save time, this step is essential. Debriefing the exposure is often the most powerful portion of the intervention.

The impact of teaching according to Hamdi model in the acquiring geographical concepts to students in preparatory fourth class in the general geographic

This research aims to know the effect of model Hamdi to acquire concepts and education in teaching methods and to achieve this purpose, the researcher relied on a partial seizure and is the experimental design of the experimental group and the control group with posttest researcher and students of fourth class in the general geographic for the academic year 2013-2014 and so opted for the purpose of application of the experiment and the sample consisted of 70 students and a student. The researcher was compared students research group before starting experience in a number of variables and formulated behavioral objectives of 45 behavioral goal and researcher prepared teaching plans for the subjects to be taught either search tool has prepared a researcher test the acquisition of concepts consisting of 45 paragraph and confirmed researcher of sincerity and Psychometric properties and to process the data statistically, the researcher used t-test , which showed a statistically significant difference at the level of 0.05% for the experimental group.

Diabetes Educators� Insights Regarding Connecting Mobile Phone� and Wearable Tracker�Collected Self-Monitoring Information to a Nationally-Used Electronic Health Record System for Diabetes Education: Descriptive Qualitative Study (Preprint)

BACKGROUND Diabetes educators are integral to a clinical team in providing diabetes self-management education and support; however, current mobile and Web-based self-management tools are not integrated into clinical diabetes care to support diabetes educators’ education efforts. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to seek diabetes educators’ insights regarding the development of an interface within the Chronicle Diabetes system, a nationally used electronic health record (EHR) system for diabetes education documentation with behavioral goal-setting functions, to transfer mobile phone- and wearable tracker-collected self-monitoring information from patients to diabetes educators to facilitate behavioral goal monitoring. METHODS A descriptive qualitative study was conducted to seek educators’ perspectives on usability and interface development preferences in developing a connected system. Educators can use the Chronicle Diabetes system to set behavioral goals with their patients. Individual and group interviews were used to seek educators’ preferences for viewing mobile phone- and wearable tracker-collected information on diet, physical activity, and sleep in the Chronicle Diabetes system using open-ended questions. Interview data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed for common themes. RESULTS Five common themes emerged from the discussion. First, educators expressed enthusiasm for and concerns about viewing diet and physical activity data in Chronicle Diabetes system. Second, educators valued viewing detailed dietary macronutrients and activity data; however, they preferred different kinds of details depending on patients’ needs, conditions, and behavioral goals and educators’ training background. Third, all educators liked the integration of mobile phone-collected data into Chronicle Diabetes system and preferably with current EHR systems. Fourth, a need for a health care team and a central EHR system to be formed was realized for educators to share summaries of self-monitoring data with other providers. Fifth, educators desired advanced features for the mobile app and the connected interface that can show self-monitoring data. CONCLUSIONS Flexibility is needed for educators to track the details of mobile phone- and wearable tracker-collected diet and activity information, and the integration of such data into Chronicle Diabetes and EHR systems is valuable for educators to track patients’ behavioral goals, provide diabetes self-management education and support, and share data with other health care team members to faciliate team-based care in clinical practice.
