The normalization process model is a theory that explains how new technologies are embedded in health care work. [1] The model was developed by Carl R. May and co-workers, [2] and is an empirically derived grounded theory in medical sociology and science and technology studies (STS), based on qualitative methods.
Normalization process theory (NPT) is a sociological theory, generally used in the fields of science and technology studies (STS), implementation research, and healthcare system research. The theory deals with the adoption of technological and organizational innovations into systems, recent studies have utilized this theory in evaluating new ...
The theory of social role valorization is closely related to the principle of normalization [7] having been developed with normalization as a foundation. [8] This theory retains most aspects of normalization concentrating on socially valued roles and means, in socially valued contexts to achieve integration and other core quality of life values.
Normalization process theory [6] is a middle-range theory used mainly in medical sociology and science and technology studies to provide a framework for understanding the social processes by which new ways of thinking, working and organizing become routinely incorporated in everyday work.
Normalization model, used in visual neuroscience; Normalization in quantum mechanics, see Wave function § Normalization condition and normalized solution; Normalization (sociology) or social normalization, the process through which ideas and behaviors that may fall outside of social norms come to be regarded as "normal"
In educational technology, Lindy McKeown has provided a similar model (a pencil metaphor [4]) describing the Information and Communications Technology uptake in education. In medical sociology, Carl May has proposed normalization process theory that shows how technologies become embedded and integrated in health care and other kinds of ...
In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging. In more complicated cases, normalization may refer to more sophisticated adjustments where the intention is to bring the entire probability distributions of adjusted values into alignment.
Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It was first proposed by British computer scientist Edgar F. Codd as part of his relational model .
