Literature Review and Research Log #8 Continue research for your independent design project paper by performing a literature review and determining the application of robotic upgrade and augmentation in relation to your design. Use these references to update or modify your design as necessary. Identify how your design reflects applicable categories of robotic upgrade or augmentation. Consider how current robotic systems can be augmented to improve upon their original design, including specific examples of system augmentation that can be used to improve efficiency, safety, or cost-savings of a robotic system. Create a new, stand-alone entry to your research log (week 8) and enter each reference you found relating to the application of robotic upgrade or augmentation. Place these references in alphabetical order, in the proper current APA format, with a brief description of the resource and its applicability. Be sure to keep these files for use when you complete your final design project. You will need to add any applicable items from these logs to your final project. The citations should reflect appropriate graduate-level materials, taken from peer-reviewed publications, government reports, and other materials found using the ERAU Hunt Library or other appropriate search engines (e.g., Google Scholar); do not use materials from Wikipedia or HowStuffWorks, as these are not appropriate research and reference materials Remember that all these research logs are going to be used for your Final Design Project.

1. Literature Review and Research Log #8
Continue research for your independent design project paper by
performing a literature review and determining the application
of robotic upgrade and augmentation in relation to your design.
Use these references to update or modify your design as
necessary. Identify how your design reflects applicable
categories of robotic upgrade or augmentation. Consider how
current robotic systems can be augmented to improve upon their
original design, including specific examples of system
augmentation that can be used to improve efficiency, safety, or
cost-savings of a robotic system.
Create a new, stand-alone entry to your research log (week 8)
and enter each reference you found relating to the application of
robotic upgrade or augmentation. Place these references in
alphabetical order, in the proper current APA format, with a
brief description of the resource and its applicability.
Be sure to keep these files for use when you complete your final
design project. You will need to add any applicable items from
these logs to your final project. The citations should reflect
appropriate graduate-level materials, taken from peer-reviewed
publications, government reports, and other materials found

Baseline Data Collection
Data is collected for overall classroom engagement and
identification of various behavioral tendencies through
observation.

3. Administrator Interviews:
These interviews will be filled by the administrators to record
the identified behavior complications that administrators have
noticed in their students.
Qualitative Data Collection Phase
Teacher Interviews:
The interviews in this phase are filled by the instructors and
will be used to compute the results of the success, failure and
sustainability of the different intervention techniques that will
be used in the course of the behavior modification study.
Student Interviews:
The students will undergo interview sessions in 3 different
schedules. These will be utilized in the identification of the
behavioral issues and be used in shortlisting the target group.
The next set of interviews will be used to log the efficiency of
the applied intervention strategies in the resolution of the
recognized behavioral tendencies.

4. Observation Phase
The observation phase will be used by the instructors and
administrators to gauge the impact of the intervention sessions.
This will also be used as a guide in witching between strategies.
Data Analysis
The information that is gathered in the interviews will be
analyzed and processed through the content analysis method.
The results were first evaluated on the empirical value of the
findings of the interviews conducted to figure out the efficacy
of the classroom management strategies. (Goldstein & Mather,
2019) The patterns that were identified on this analysis revealed
that the evidence-based classroom strategies were very
successful in altering the undesired behaviors that disrupt
classroom activity. The overlapping data between the
intervention phases and the baseline data showed great
reduction of the occurrence and display of behavioral issues in
all 5 classroom settings. The results from this study matched the
results of the predecessor studies on the same research topics
that highlight clear positive impacts of intervention strategies.
(Simonsen, Myers, Sugai, Briesch, & Fairbanks, 2016)
Results & Findings
The empirical evidence revealed a number of evidence-based
practices that were effective in the intervention phase of the
research which may be categorized into 5 different traits of
classroom management which are the maximizing of structure,
active engagement of students through observation, educating,
monitoring and reinforcement of potentials, the application of
different behavior modification strategies, and tendering of

5. approaches to acknowledge appropriate behaviors and address
inappropriate ones. (Dr. Parsonson, 2015)
On comparison of the collected data as against the baseline
data, there was a significant change in behavioral tendencies of
the students which could be directly attributed to the
intervention sessions. This exhibited that the evidence-based
techniques were effective in the resolution of certain behavior
issues in the classroom environment. In relation to the research
question on the impact of the classroom environment on general
student behavior and performance and in what ways can such
environmental problem areas be quantified and managed, the
research findings and results use collected quantitative and
qualitative data to address the topical questions addressed in the
conclusion of this research. (Guardino & Fullerton, 2018)
