It's really interesting how these principles and values come into play in a community environment and settings which in most cases are informal settings and people may not accurately decent them.
For example, principles such as equity can not be understood clearly by a carpenter or plumber, if you are conducting peer research in your community.
So whilst you... -
These 3 key principles such as equity, inclusion, and diversity are important to use when you are dealing with people such as in this case where you are involving people in your study.

Notably the area and boundary of focus in peer or community research is very open and inclusive. This makes peer researching much more interesting to undertake.

Thanks, this past lessons had enlightened us on the basics of peer research and its applications.

To be part of a community is to appreciate the values it encompasses and be part of it. As humans, our existence in communities is a natural part of our lives, the conditions that shape and mold us to be who we are. There can be both negative and positive effects of being in a community, but the aspects that we influence and those which also affect us, lead to...
-
Since Peer research is about researching your peers within the same community in which you live or belong, the thing that I would gain will be to gather support and create greater awareness about any issues that affect us all within the community in which we live.
-
I believe Community research will truly address problems and create change in our local communities.
-
The idea of Participatory research is really great and encouraging. Collaborating and working together on research projects can help to collect data and information from varying sources with real-life experience. In the case of academics from University, they may know how to conduct research but they may rely on external or participatory actors to extract...
-
I think peer research is loosely tied, that is being implemented based on the researcher's perception of things about the issues that affect their community. Like they tried to bring some positive changes and offer something to their communities.
Peer Research is more like doing things freely that empower themselves, and the people within their communities. -

I live in a settlement community, a squatter settlement community along the periphery of the main city areas and I go to work inside the city. So it's like I currently live in 2 types of communities. Both of these community makes me feel part of them because I am currently doing something within those communities.
-
It's great to know the importance of research and the availability of different types of research methods and the context in which they occur. Much inspired, thank you.
-
Community-based participatory research is open and inclusive. In that way, it can extract in-depth and well-founded information from participants because they will feel empowered to do so. People will feel free to express themselves if they feel they are involved and part of the project.

This model of team development is true, I mean teams start on a good note, and then along the way they face problems. But it is natural as it seems because as a new member of a team, you will feel cautious at first but then as time goes you will get used to it. But at that very moment when you feel that you are ok, you will face problems and that's the time...

The stereotype does exist and is mostly associated with traditional cultural practices. You may not know how you came to have such beliefs or thoughts, it just happens to you from your society and cultural background.
For example in my culture, which is a paternal society, females are considered soft and can not do tough jobs.
Physically this might be true,... -

By reading these different people speaking their experiences, it is obvious that different contexts or the cultural environment play certain roles in which leadership in safeguarding is practiced particularly in terms of sexual violence or harassment, etc. Like how would you deal with a sensitive issue, looking at the social structures of the society...

-
I think 2 feminist principles of valuing safety and elimination of gender-based violence are paramount to good safeguarding practices in the organization. In fact, many people like to take risks, in many circumstances in their lives or with top priorities in their lives. But it is better to take a cautious stance, evaluating every option before making...

In fact, effective leadership in the aid sector is really critical because they are in an area of our society that seeks to bridge the gap between our systems of resource mobilization and our relief efforts. They are the channels through which assistance is processed so that it reaches the people who are affected and are in need.
Effective leadership in that... -
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
I in fact, never at one time came across such cases of scandals in the aid sector, but I have learned about such practices in corporate, civil societies, and the public sector organization. That may probably be because I don't have access to such information.
However, it is interesting to learn that, we are not immune from such ills in our social actions,... -

Proper Resource allocation and effective systems of management are needed when it comes to funding at the international level of aid.

It is great to know here that; an aspect of leadership is about sharing insights across organizational cultures. It's about sharing insights and guidance through leading, I wonder, how it would be if a boss or leader didn't share such insights or guidance..then there is no meaning in leading...so if you lead, then it would mean that you are leading by...

This is really great..for a first-timer in data analysis, these lessons have showcased the step-by-step process to carry out your analytics report to solve specific business problems you may have.
We mainly analyze to find out and investigate problems and develop solutions to address them. But before, we have to develop a hypothesis, like why we are doing... -
I realize the importance of using data ethically, and how it impacts our business decision-making.n Particularly, when principles highlighted here such as; accuracy, privacy and confidentiality come into play..

I don't think it is wrong to combine data from different sources and develop predictions and planning for the business. But what is at stake here, is the security and confidentiality of the information we are sharing.
If certain information about our clients or our information is being manipulated or misused, then both the company and its clients are at... -
As Aisha ventures her business online, there are issues and challenges she must consider which are related to how she handles and deals with data. One such challenge is her handling of her customer's data which on the other hand has legal and regulatory implications.
For example, the details and information she had about her customers are binding under such... -
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
I think Aisa's problem is that; her business is growing and expanding, but she is unorganized in terms of managing properly her activities and the information it has.
By analyzing the data of her business activities and identifying trends and key performing indicators, she can plan and mange well her business activties. -

These data analytical terms can be useful in helping us understand the basic concept and knowledge of data analysis as a first-timer.

Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
The most interesting thing from here is that; through data analysis, you can know your key performing indicators which will really help develop your business strategy.
There are in fact many other data that can help us but this is something new I learn from here so far..thanks. -

For an online entity that depended on online customers to make its money such as Facebook or Twitter, web analytics can provide data for that business. It is automatic because sales data can be generated from e-commerce analytics and functions from the site.
But with other business that involves physical contacts such as shops or manufacturing companies,... -

From the excel spreadsheet, it seems that Aisha has keeps the records of the data in the first place, and that's really good because she can easily work on the data to identify trends and key performing indicators.

And from that data; the 3 things I can identify from it are;

Aisha just started her business and there are many things she needs to work on to really kick-off, one of which is establishing its data sources and creating its database. She can obtain this from sales records, daily numbers of customers as well some data from its web presence.
From this database, she should identify key performing indicators, in fact, KPIs... -
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
It's great to create a question first before actually working on the analysis to answer that question. Asking the question; can really help us by guiding our thoughts as we study the amounts of data presented to us.
its about establishing a framework of analysis as guides so that we can stay focus and study tne vast amount of data that may be presented to us. -
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
It's great to learn that as individuals, we also produce data or have a certain amount of data, particularly through the things we use such as mobile phones, computers, or even our schooling and our history.
All these contribute to having some data about us as individuals, etc. -

Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
actually, I have just started a new role as a Web site analyst with no background in maths and data, but this course did really help me a lot..I am not into numbers, but this is different, the role of an analyst allows us to speak number language and that is what makes me more interested.
-
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
Very interesting learning and understanding how number talks.. and I quote Andrian's words "we take a situation of uncertainty, and we model that. and be able to make the best-informed business decisions." so far so good.
-
Interesting and its great to know that standard deviation is associated with risks
-
That's really great learning how these random variables are applied real business decisions
-
Wow. it's even more interesting to apply measurements such as spread, Standard Deviation and mean etc to the frequency and probability of different data sets..
-
Wow..that's really great to put this data to establish its frequency and probability..we are really talking numbers..
-
Interpreting it in graphs is very clear and easy to understand as well

Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
It makes sense here, between the meaning of the variable and the random variable. I mean it is an everyday business decision and learning this through these lessons really helps..

Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
That's really great and interesting dealing with probabilities..when dealing with formulas, it seems quite complex to understand, but when it is applied in a business sense, it is easy to understand. I mean the picture is very clear..

-
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
wow.. that's great..like I mentioned in 2.2. Probability is the best method to understand and work on your areas of risk.
-
It's interesting to know that larger values of probability are likely to happen. And about the multiple ways to assign a probability, I think I like empirical ways
all in all, it's really great to learn this.
-
I think probably is best used when taking a risks. I mean many businesses take risks that have a high rate of failure and have failed as a result of it..so with the use of probability, you can work out which strategies to take, like if there is a high probability that you would fail, then you shouldn't take that risks, etc.

The main takeaway from this week is that data analysis is very important because it influences decision-making at the highest level, therefore, ethics in data analysis must be upheld at all times. this is a very critical area, and also you will have many critics if there is no accuracy and good judgment..
-
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
Ethics in data analysis as Andrian stated is a great responsibility,,, I am inspired and thank you so much..its really great learning data analysis with you.
-
Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec made a comment
I really appreciate the fact that ethics and data analysis goes hand in hand, you can not provide a good analysis unless you are ethical. Actually, accuracy is one thing here, and then you have the judgment to make, all these require one to apply ethics..then the outcome of good ethical analysis is respected..

I totally agree with the idea about us (humans) living in a world of interconnected communities, and Climate Change is an issue that is affecting us in one way or another.

Environmental sustainability is a bigger issue now than it was some time ago, people are now more environmentally cautious.
