Methodology Assignment
Participant/Procedures
The intended participants will include both parents and students. The parents of undergraduate students from a mid-sized university will be included in the study. The parents will consist of both fathers and mothers of students. Parents with students in elementary, junior, and high school levels will be excluded from the study. Undergraduate students who are enrolled in communication studies from a mid-sized university will also be considered as participants for the study. The students will consist of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
The personal demographic questions that the survey will ask the parents include education status, ethnicity, and the level of study of their children as well as their performance record in school. These questions matter because they will enable the research to deduce useful information about the individual parents and their involvement in the education of their children. For instance, the question on their level of education will assess their understanding of the purpose of the study as well as the role of parents in supporting the education initiatives of students. The question on ethnicity will enable the research to determine whether parental involvement or support to children depends on ethnicity. The students will be asked demographic questions such as their age, gender, and level of study. The specific demographic questions for the students will assist in validating the measurement scale. For instance, the level of study will determine the extent of parental support that is needed further validating the measurement scales. The question on gender will expose the difference in perception among male and female students regarding parental support and student satisfaction.
Random sampling will be utilized to collect data. It involves sampling where every object has an equal chance of appearing in the study. This method will be utilized because it produces an unbiased representation of the population which will help in drawing useful conclusions about the study. It will also be utilized due to its simplicity as compared to other sampling techniques. This sampling method will significantly influence the outcomes of the results since it will ensure a higher degree of accuracy and validity.The study will adopt a cross-sectional survey design which will ensure that the researcher examines different samples of a population at a given point in time. It will allow the comparison of results/answers from different samples at one point in time. I will also utilize this survey design because it is generally short and inexpensive. They will also enable me to discover new correlations for the study that can be studied later.
I intend to send the surveys to 300 parents and undergraduate students from a mid-sized university. To increase their response rates, I will provide incentives and I will also keep the survey relevant. Studies show that sometimes when co ...

Interview Questions
1. What parameters/Indicators are used to determine whether a student is college-ready or not?
The question is crucial in identifying whether the instructors are aware of the factors that contribute to college readiness among the students. Several indicators influence college readiness. Such parameters are combined before understanding whether a high school student is college-ready. Some indicators accurately show students’ college preparedness, while others give a false picture. Leeds & Mokher (2019) showed that using placement tests to assign students to developmental courses results in frequent misplacement. The authors used data from Florida. They concluded that it might be preferable to choose cutoffs that minimize misplacement than to use new metrics (Leeds & Mokher, 2019). Also, they proposed that each state use metrics that are unique to their con ...

Statement of the problem
The issue to be studied is determining whether or not the tutoring program is effective. There are 60 eighth grade students currently enlisted as tutors for sixth grade students; each tutor has to meet passing grade requirements and show efficiency in being a positive role model for these younger classmen. They have to demonstrate skills in organization, completing work within a timely manner, appropriate social skills, good study habits, etc. Researchers would like to see how effective this program has been for the younger students and see if they improve in grades and how these study habits are affected by the tutoring program.

INTRODUCTION
The future professional role would be an early childhood educator to teach both Science and English. This would educate students through lectures and hand-on learning with adherence to the curriculum. The setting would be the classroom whereby it would ensure that there is a happy environment for all students. It would be good to act as a role model and a mentor by encouraging students to learn and ensuring that they do not face challenges such as depression or discrimination which would inhibit their learning. This would ensure that interacting with students more often and learn about their families. Maintaining good relationships with their families and having frequent communication would be a good way to understand any challenges the students could be facing. The current experience is helping kindergarten students learn social studies while the previous experience in helping students complete their homework. The future goal is to help improve the performance of students in science. Comment by Juliet Krummick: perfect
The purpose of the study is to find various ways in which students could be motivated during the learning of science. The student outcomes that need influence are their knowledge and skills in science and their attitude towards learning the subject. Assessments have shown that some students lack sufficient knowledge in science. The performance of students in science is also an area of interest to be influenced because it also determines whether or not the students are engaged in learning. Students are expected to obtain a positive attitude toward science learning. They should achieve good grades to show that they understand the topics at hand.
The fact that many students lose interest in learning science as they progress to higher levels shows that they are not engaged enough during the initial years of science learning specifically in first grade. Decreased motivation leads to lower grades in science (Uhm et al, 2018). Teachers do not put much emphasis on the teaching of science because they dedicate most of their time to reading within the researcher’s school. Students, therefore, lose interest in learning science because they are not fully engaged in learning by their teachers.
Teachers should ensure that they motivate students to learn. The provision of autonomy support to students enhances their motivation in learning. Student-teacher relationships are important in optimizing student motivation. "Educators and parent ...

Instructions of Intervention Plan
· Intervention Plan
Students are asked to read several of the research presentations and respond to ONE of them by creating a lesson plan or plan for intervention to assist individuals with the problems described in the research presentation.
· This assignment addresses the teaching goal of identifying strategies for facilitating the development of people. For example, if your classmate's presentation concerns adolescent identity in the face of parental divorce, create a plan for intervention or treatment to help those adolescents that is based on the conclusions of the research presentation.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns caregivers' health problems in the face of a family member with Alzheimer's, create a plan for intervention or treatment to help those caregivers that is based on the results of the studies summarized in the presentation.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns college student grades in the face of extracurricular involvement in athletics, create a lesson plan or intervention plan to help college students that is based on the results of the studies.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns the effects of silent reading on middle schoolers' comprehension skills, create a lesson plan to help middle schoolers that is based on the results of the studies.
· Convince me that your plan is based on the results of the studies.
· Please create your OWN intervention--do not borrow one used in your school district or found in another study.
· Think CREATIVELY about what you might do, why it should work, and exactly how you would implement it. Think through the steps of implementation.
The plan should identify a target audience, and a target frame of duration, and contain an objective, a summary of skills to be developed, and specific techniques for reaching the objective and developing the skills. Be sure to identify the research presentation that you are responding to and explain how your intervention addresses the issues explained in your classmate’s research presentation.
Please note that in your References section you should not include any article that you yourself have not read.
Your classmate’s research presentation will list both of the studies your classmate read to produce the research presentation. I encourage you to work from the summaries produced by your classmate. Unless you have read those original studies yourself, you may not ethically cite those studies. If you use other sources in preparing your IP, you should cite those sources faithfully.
I prefer that you write your IP in Word. Please attach the rubric (available under the purple button "Course Documents") to the end of your plan.
The IP will be evaluated according to the rubric under Course Documents and is worth 7% of your course grade. Please send the IP (in a Microsoft Word format) to me as an email attachment with the rubric copied into the last pages no later than the date lis.

Contextual Influences on the
Implementation of a Schoolwide Intervention
to Promote Students’ Social, Emotional,
and Academic Learning
Yolanda Anyon, Nicole Nicotera, and Christopher A. Veeh
Schoolwide interventions are among the most effective approaches for improving students’
behavioral and academic outcomes. However, researchers have documented consistent chal-
lenges with implementation fidelity and have argued that school social workers should be
engaged in efforts to improve treatment integrity. This study examines contextual influences
on the implementation of a whole-school intervention called Responsive Classroom (RC)
in one urban K–8 public school serving a diverse student body. RC improves social, emo-
tional, literacy, and math outcomes for disadvantaged students with behavior problems by
building on the assets of teachers to intervene with misbehaving students in the classroom
setting or school environment. Yet little is understood regarding the factors that constrain or
enable implementation of RC in noncontrolled research conditions. Results from a mixed-
methods convergent analysis of focus group, observation, and survey data indicate the influ-
ence of the following three contextual factors on implementation fidelity: (1) intervention
characteristics such as compatibility with staff members’ beliefs about behavior change and
management, (2) organizational capacity such as principal and teacher buy-in, and (3) the
intervention support system such as training and technical assistance. Implications for future
school social work research and practice with respect to the implementation of schoolwide
programs are discussed.
KEY WORDS: context; fidelity; implementation; school social work; schoolwide interventions
School social workers are often called on to deliver interventions to improve the behavior of disruptive and off-task students, as these
young people are at greater risk than their peers for
academic and psychosocial problems extending
across the life span ( O’Shaughnessy, Lane, Gresham,
& Beebe-Frankenberger, 2003; Sprague & Hill,
2000). For example, behavior problems in elemen-
tary school are among the strongest predictors of
underachievement, delinquency, and violence later
in life ( Sprague & Hill, 2000). Moreover, low-
income children and adolescents of color are more
likely to be identified by school staff as having be-
havior problems but are less likely to have access to
supports they need to make improvements ( Reyes,
Elias, Parker, & Rosenblatt, 2013). In the larger con-
text of persistent racial and class disparities in aca-
demic achievement, the need for early interventions
among disadvantaged young people is clear ( Reyes
et al., 2013).
Emerging evidence suggests that schoolwide and
teacher-focused interventions are among the most
effective approaches for improving student behav-
ioral outcomes ( Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki,
Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011). How.

Positive Reinforcement

Reinforcement
Reinforcement is used to condition a particular behavioral response or action. According to Berger (2014), Reinforcement is a stimulus or event that increases the frequency of response it follows. To increase the frequency of the desired behavior, positive or negative reinforcement must be used. Positive reinforcement works by establishing a motivating stimulus after the desired behavioral response. For example, when a child completes their homework and receives a reward like candy. Negative reinforcement is when a particular stimulus is removed when a particular behavior is displayed. By removing a negative stimulus, it is less likely to occur again. For example, a driver follows the speed limit to avoid receiving a ticket. Keep in mind negative reinforcement is not a punishment because it increases a behavioral response instead of decreasing it.
Integrated Research
The ability to shape appropriate behavior while extinguishing misbehavior is critical to teaching and learning in physical education. The scientific principles that affect student learning in the gymnasium also apply to the methods teachers use to influence social behaviors. Downing and colleagues describe the results of an experiment that examined the ability to shape behavior to student to be teachable. The authors hypothesized that reinforcement, the stimulus is far more effective than the traditional punishment. Positive and negative reinforcement is never to be looked at as a punishment; it is a corrective action to change a specific behavior. The aut.

This Study examines the Academic Achievement of Adolescence and Parental encouragement, the
encouragement support exerts most direct influence upon the acquisition of academic achievement. This study
explored the extent to which the parental encouragement has relation with academic achievement among school
students. Parents play a key role in shaping students achievement. Family factors such as parent’s level of
education, Parental expectations and parental support for their children seem to extent some influences on
adolescents academic achievement. Parents play an important role in educational motivation of their children.
They provide necessary facilities and educational environment which results is better performance in school.
Parents approve and appreciate activities related to education and remove any difficult felt by their wards. This
type of behavior of Parents is known as parental encouragement. In other wards parental encouragement
refers to the guidance, communication and interest shown by the parents to promote their wards progress in
school.

Effects of project based learning on education

Effects of in cooperating Project based Learning in the school curriculum
Introduction
Learning is determined by a number of factors, some of which are environmental related while others are not. The approach of teaching is one of the major determinants of learning as far classroom learning is concerned, however there has been a concern that the current approaches to learning are a little too abstract. Lack of real life scenarios and too much theory has been responsible for the growing apathy towards learning. It is for this reason that studies are being contacted to see if the change in tact can improve learning. One of the suggested ways is the project based learning approach which uses non fictional concepts for teaching.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of in cooperating project based learning in the school curriculum. The study seeks to ascertain if there is any relationship between projects based learning and the improvement in scores for students (Daniel 2012). Previous studies have shown that students are likely to improve in cases where some form of simulation or use of no fictional material. According to these, the use of non fictional approaches stimulates the students to look at issues from the reality perspective hence making it easy to internalize whatever they are learning for the sake of being able to remember, however these studies have not clearly explained the actual relationships that exist between the performance and the project based learning. There are other factors which could have in for the findings to be so, for those studies, this study would critically examine the direct impact that project based learning has on students.
Research questions
1. Will the incorporation of project based learning improve students state assessment scores as it relates to the common core state standards in comprehending non fiction text?
2. Will the inclusion of project based learning improve student application of comprehending non fictional text at a high depth of learning level?
3. How does project based learning integrate clear expectations and essential criteria and remain successful
In research, data is an important factor because it is the one which determines the findings and recommendations for the, decisions to be made (Peter 2011). The main data collection methods will be observation, interviews and artifacts, questionnaires will also be used to collect data concerning the stakeholders. Observation will be effective tools for confirming how students behave in classes, when the various approaches are used. Students will be observed in a classroom setting and comparisons be made between those classes that imp.
An online survey of pupils’ experiences of eating disorders - journal articlePooky Knightsmith
Background: Eating disorders (ED) have a peak rate of onset in school-aged children. Little is known about pupils’ experiences of ED within a school setting.
Method: Five hundred and eleven 11- to 19-year-old school pupils completed an online questionnaire exploring their experiences of ED (72% female, 28% male). Responses were analysed using content analysis principles.
Results: Of the participants, 38% had a current or past ED, 49% of these had never received a formal diagnosis. Of the respondents, 59% saw a need to raise ED
awareness. Only 7% would confide in a teacher about an ED.
Conclusions: Efforts are needed to break down
barriers to disclosure and support teachers to play an effective role in the detection and early intervention for
ED.

Method Description
This study focuses on relational satisfaction among dating and married couples. A survey design will be the research method for this study. A correlational design is appropriate because this study aims to understand how couples perceive their relationship. More precisely, questionnaires will be conducted in responds to the following hypothesis question; overbenefitted and underbenefitted relational partners are less satisfied than people in equitable relationships. This study assumes that perceived equity is positively related to relational satisfaction. The questions pertain to how each partner views the overall relationship. Equity seems to play a vital role in the determining relational satisfaction, therefore it will be examined.
Procedures
Participants. A non-random, convenience and snowball sample of 250 couples (500 individuals total) will be required for this study. A large number of participants will be needed to ensure that the population will be accounted for. Although this study includes people from a large age range, all participants must meet an age requirement of 18 years or older. Also, all participants must have been in a relationship for at least 6 months. Two types of participants will be recruited for this study. Dating couples will be recruited from Arizona State University communication classes. Students will be given extra credit for participating in a two-part study. Encouraging student’s participation by offering extra credit will be the most efficient method of reaching a quota of 250 couples. Part one of the study requires the student and their partner to fill out a questionnaire about their perception and their partner’s perception of the relationship. Part two entails students to have their parents fill out the same questionnaire. In other words, married couples will be recruited by the student participants.
Procedures. Participation is based on a first come first served basis. The first 125 students who sign up will receive extra credit upon completing their participation. Student couples will show up to a designated area on school campus. They will immediately be separated and given identical questionnaires. They will be instructed to complete the questionnaire and any clarification will be addressed by a confederate. Participants will be asked not to discuss their responds with their partners until both complete the questionnaires. This will prevent biased responds form participants. After the couple completes the questionnaire, the student who signed up for the study will be given two confidential envelops for each parent. Parents will be instructed to fill out the survey individually and their children (student) will return the package to an assigned area. The procedure for this study is appropriate because students have the incentive to gain extra credit. Also, reliability and validity will be determined by the instrumentation of study.

School districts are in the process of adopting the
Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to identify
and remediate academic and behavioral deficits. As
an integral member of the school behavior team, school
counselors must use data on individual interventions

in RTI. This article presents a method and rationale
to use behavioral observations to determine the effica-

I
n the years since the reauthorization of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of
Education, 2004), many school districts have adopt-
ed the Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to
addressing academic and behavioral difficulties as an
alternative to the traditional special education assess-
ment model (Shores, 2009). The passage of IDEA
2004 was noteworthy because it brought about a fun-
damental change in how students may be qualified for
special education services (Buffum, Mattos, & Weber,
2009). Under IDEA 2004, states are no longer
required to pursue the lengthy and controversial
process of identifying a severe discrepancy between
achievement and intellectual ability (Fletcher &
Vaughn, 2009). Instead, educators may use an RTI
process to identify and address learning and behavior
problems as quickly as possible in a child’s education.
Broadly defined, RTI is a school-wide, multi-
tiered approach requiring teachers and support per-
sonnel to implement school-wide, research-based
practices and frequently assess student progress in
two domains, academics and behavior. When a stu-
dent fails to respond to system-wide interventions,
small group or individual interventions are applied
with greater intensity. As members of school inter-
vention and student support teams, school coun-
selors have long contributed to the group of educa-
tors who hear concerns and formulate plans to sup-
port students at risk of school failure. Under IDEA
2004, school counselors, like other team members,
are now required to utilize data to drive this inter-
vention planning process for individual students.
Fortunately, the recent focus on accountability in
the counseling literature has equipped school practi-
tioners with the mindset and skills to collect and ana-
lyze data effectively (Astramovich, Coker, & Hoskins,
2005; Dahir & Stone, 2009; Dimmitt, 2010;
Dimmitt, Carey & Hatch, 2007; Loesch & Ritchie,
2009). In fact, the methods for analyzing school-wide
academic and behavioral indicators and engaging in
data-based decision making have been promoted as a
“new cornerstone of effective school counseling prac-
tice” (Poynton & Carey, 2006, p. 129). However,
fruitful participation in an RTI process at the more
intensive services level will require that school coun-
selors translate these systematic data-based skills to the
individual responsive services level.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
from
International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family
Resource management
is the process in which individuals and families use what they have to get what they want. It begins with thinking and planning and ends with the evaluation of actions taken. Three fundamental concepts in resource management are
values, goals
, and
decision making.
Values such as honesty and trust are principles that guide behavior. They are desirable or important and serve as underlying motivators. Values determine goals, which are sought-after end results. Goals can be implicit or explicit. They can be short-term, intermediate-, or long-term. Decisions are conclusions or judgments about some issue or matter.
Decision making
involves choosing between two or more alternatives and follows a series of steps from inception to evaluation.
Through choices, individuals and families define their lives and influence the lives of others. The study of resource management focuses on order, choices, and control, and how people use time, energy, money, physical space, and information. As an applied social science, it is an academic field that is fundamental to our understanding of human behavior. "The knowledge obtained through the study of management is evaluated in light of its ability to make an individual's or family's management practice more effective" (Goldsmith 2000, p. 5).
Individuals and families have characteristic ways of making decisions and acting called their
management style.
Although similar styles are exhibited within families (such as a tendency to be on time or to finish tasks to completion), there are also wide ranges of styles within families making the study of management intrinsically interesting, especially from a
socialization
point of view. Why do such differences exist and how does the individual's style mesh with that of the other members' styles in the family?
Measuring devices, techniques, or instruments that are used to make decisions and plan courses of action are called management tools. For example, time is a resource and a clock or stopwatch is a management tool.
Resources can be divided up into human and material resources, assets that people have at their disposal.
Material resources
(e.g., bridges, roads, houses) decline through use whereas
human resources
(e.g., the ability to read, ride a bicycle) improve or increase through use.
Human capital
describes the sum total of a person's abilities, knowledge, and skills. Education is one way to develop human capital. Related to this is the concept of social capital. The term
social capital
is gaining in importance in the family-relations field and management is considered ...

Instructions of Intervention Plan
· Intervention Plan
Students are asked to read several of the research presentations and respond to ONE of them by creating a lesson plan or plan for intervention to assist individuals with the problems described in the research presentation.
· This assignment addresses the teaching goal of identifying strategies for facilitating the development of people. For example, if your classmate's presentation concerns adolescent identity in the face of parental divorce, create a plan for intervention or treatment to help those adolescents that is based on the conclusions of the research presentation.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns caregivers' health problems in the face of a family member with Alzheimer's, create a plan for intervention or treatment to help those caregivers that is based on the results of the studies summarized in the presentation.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns college student grades in the face of extracurricular involvement in athletics, create a lesson plan or intervention plan to help college students that is based on the results of the studies.
· If your classmate's presentation concerns the effects of silent reading on middle schoolers' comprehension skills, create a lesson plan to help middle schoolers that is based on the results of the studies.
· Convince me that your plan is based on the results of the studies.
· Please create your OWN intervention--do not borrow one used in your school district or found in another study.
· Think CREATIVELY about what you might do, why it should work, and exactly how you would implement it. Think through the steps of implementation.
The plan should identify a target audience, and a target frame of duration, and contain an objective, a summary of skills to be developed, and specific techniques for reaching the objective and developing the skills. Be sure to identify the research presentation that you are responding to and explain how your intervention addresses the issues explained in your classmate’s research presentation.
Please note that in your References section you should not include any article that you yourself have not read.
Your classmate’s research presentation will list both of the studies your classmate read to produce the research presentation. I encourage you to work from the summaries produced by your classmate. Unless you have read those original studies yourself, you may not ethically cite those studies. If you use other sources in preparing your IP, you should cite those sources faithfully.
I prefer that you write your IP in Word. Please attach the rubric (available under the purple button "Course Documents") to the end of your plan.
The IP will be evaluated according to the rubric under Course Documents and is worth 7% of your course grade. Please send the IP (in a Microsoft Word format) to me as an email attachment with the rubric copied into the last pages no later than the date lis.
Contextual Influences on the Implementation of a Schoolwide .docxmelvinjrobinson2199
Contextual Influences on the
Implementation of a Schoolwide Intervention
to Promote Students’ Social, Emotional,
and Academic Learning
Yolanda Anyon, Nicole Nicotera, and Christopher A. Veeh
Schoolwide interventions are among the most effective approaches for improving students’
behavioral and academic outcomes. However, researchers have documented consistent chal-
lenges with implementation fidelity and have argued that school social workers should be
engaged in efforts to improve treatment integrity. This study examines contextual influences
on the implementation of a whole-school intervention called Responsive Classroom (RC)
in one urban K–8 public school serving a diverse student body. RC improves social, emo-
tional, literacy, and math outcomes for disadvantaged students with behavior problems by
building on the assets of teachers to intervene with misbehaving students in the classroom
setting or school environment. Yet little is understood regarding the factors that constrain or
enable implementation of RC in noncontrolled research conditions. Results from a mixed-
methods convergent analysis of focus group, observation, and survey data indicate the influ-
ence of the following three contextual factors on implementation fidelity: (1) intervention
characteristics such as compatibility with staff members’ beliefs about behavior change and
management, (2) organizational capacity such as principal and teacher buy-in, and (3) the
intervention support system such as training and technical assistance. Implications for future
school social work research and practice with respect to the implementation of schoolwide
programs are discussed.
KEY WORDS: context; fidelity; implementation; school social work; schoolwide interventions
School social workers are often called on to deliver interventions to improve the behavior of disruptive and off-task students, as these
young people are at greater risk than their peers for
academic and psychosocial problems extending
across the life span ( O’Shaughnessy, Lane, Gresham,
& Beebe-Frankenberger, 2003; Sprague & Hill,
2000). For example, behavior problems in elemen-
tary school are among the strongest predictors of
underachievement, delinquency, and violence later
in life ( Sprague & Hill, 2000). Moreover, low-
income children and adolescents of color are more
likely to be identified by school staff as having be-
havior problems but are less likely to have access to
supports they need to make improvements ( Reyes,
Elias, Parker, & Rosenblatt, 2013). In the larger con-
text of persistent racial and class disparities in aca-
demic achievement, the need for early interventions
among disadvantaged young people is clear ( Reyes
et al., 2013).
Emerging evidence suggests that schoolwide and
teacher-focused interventions are among the most
effective approaches for improving student behav-
ioral outcomes ( Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki,
Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011). How.

Running Head: POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT 1
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT 30
Positive Reinforcement
Matthew Rosario
Southern New Hampshire University
Reinforcement
Reinforcement is used to condition a particular behavioral response or action. According to Berger (2014), Reinforcement is a stimulus or event that increases the frequency of response it follows. To increase the frequency of the desired behavior, positive or negative reinforcement must be used. Positive reinforcement works by establishing a motivating stimulus after the desired behavioral response. For example, when a child completes their homework and receives a reward like candy. Negative reinforcement is when a particular stimulus is removed when a particular behavior is displayed. By removing a negative stimulus, it is less likely to occur again. For example, a driver follows the speed limit to avoid receiving a ticket. Keep in mind negative reinforcement is not a punishment because it increases a behavioral response instead of decreasing it.
Integrated Research
The ability to shape appropriate behavior while extinguishing misbehavior is critical to teaching and learning in physical education. The scientific principles that affect student learning in the gymnasium also apply to the methods teachers use to influence social behaviors. Downing and colleagues describe the results of an experiment that examined the ability to shape behavior to student to be teachable. The authors hypothesized that reinforcement, the stimulus is far more effective than the traditional punishment. Positive and negative reinforcement is never to be looked at as a punishment; it is a corrective action to change a specific behavior. The aut.

explored the extent to which the parental encouragement has relation with academic achievement among school
students. Parents play a key role in shaping students achievement. Family factors such as parent’s level of
education, Parental expectations and parental support for their children seem to extent some influences on
adolescents academic achievement. Parents play an important role in educational motivation of their children.
They provide necessary facilities and educational environment which results is better performance in school.
Parents approve and appreciate activities related to education and remove any difficult felt by their wards. This
type of behavior of Parents is known as parental encouragement. In other wards parental encouragement
refers to the guidance, communication and interest shown by the parents to promote their wards progress in

Effects of project based learning on education

Effects of in cooperating Project based Learning in the school curriculum
Introduction
Learning is determined by a number of factors, some of which are environmental related while others are not. The approach of teaching is one of the major determinants of learning as far classroom learning is concerned, however there has been a concern that the current approaches to learning are a little too abstract. Lack of real life scenarios and too much theory has been responsible for the growing apathy towards learning. It is for this reason that studies are being contacted to see if the change in tact can improve learning. One of the suggested ways is the project based learning approach which uses non fictional concepts for teaching.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of in cooperating project based learning in the school curriculum. The study seeks to ascertain if there is any relationship between projects based learning and the improvement in scores for students (Daniel 2012). Previous studies have shown that students are likely to improve in cases where some form of simulation or use of no fictional material. According to these, the use of non fictional approaches stimulates the students to look at issues from the reality perspective hence making it easy to internalize whatever they are learning for the sake of being able to remember, however these studies have not clearly explained the actual relationships that exist between the performance and the project based learning. There are other factors which could have in for the findings to be so, for those studies, this study would critically examine the direct impact that project based learning has on students.
Research questions
1. Will the incorporation of project based learning improve students state assessment scores as it relates to the common core state standards in comprehending non fiction text?
2. Will the inclusion of project based learning improve student application of comprehending non fictional text at a high depth of learning level?
3. How does project based learning integrate clear expectations and essential criteria and remain successful
In research, data is an important factor because it is the one which determines the findings and recommendations for the, decisions to be made (Peter 2011). The main data collection methods will be observation, interviews and artifacts, questionnaires will also be used to collect data concerning the stakeholders. Observation will be effective tools for confirming how students behave in classes, when the various approaches are used. Students will be observed in a classroom setting and comparisons be made between those classes that imp.
An online survey of pupils’ experiences of eating disorders - journal articlePooky Knightsmith
Background: Eating disorders (ED) have a peak rate of onset in school-aged children. Little is known about pupils’ experiences of ED within a school setting.
Method: Five hundred and eleven 11- to 19-year-old school pupils completed an online questionnaire exploring their experiences of ED (72% female, 28% male). Responses were analysed using content analysis principles.
Results: Of the participants, 38% had a current or past ED, 49% of these had never received a formal diagnosis. Of the respondents, 59% saw a need to raise ED
awareness. Only 7% would confide in a teacher about an ED.
Conclusions: Efforts are needed to break down
barriers to disclosure and support teachers to play an effective role in the detection and early intervention for
ED.

METHOD PAPER
Method
Method Description
This study focuses on relational satisfaction among dating and married couples. A survey design will be the research method for this study. A correlational design is appropriate because this study aims to understand how couples perceive their relationship. More precisely, questionnaires will be conducted in responds to the following hypothesis question; overbenefitted and underbenefitted relational partners are less satisfied than people in equitable relationships. This study assumes that perceived equity is positively related to relational satisfaction. The questions pertain to how each partner views the overall relationship. Equity seems to play a vital role in the determining relational satisfaction, therefore it will be examined.
Procedures
Participants. A non-random, convenience and snowball sample of 250 couples (500 individuals total) will be required for this study. A large number of participants will be needed to ensure that the population will be accounted for. Although this study includes people from a large age range, all participants must meet an age requirement of 18 years or older. Also, all participants must have been in a relationship for at least 6 months. Two types of participants will be recruited for this study. Dating couples will be recruited from Arizona State University communication classes. Students will be given extra credit for participating in a two-part study. Encouraging student’s participation by offering extra credit will be the most efficient method of reaching a quota of 250 couples. Part one of the study requires the student and their partner to fill out a questionnaire about their perception and their partner’s perception of the relationship. Part two entails students to have their parents fill out the same questionnaire. In other words, married couples will be recruited by the student participants.
Procedures. Participation is based on a first come first served basis. The first 125 students who sign up will receive extra credit upon completing their participation. Student couples will show up to a designated area on school campus. They will immediately be separated and given identical questionnaires. They will be instructed to complete the questionnaire and any clarification will be addressed by a confederate. Participants will be asked not to discuss their responds with their partners until both complete the questionnaires. This will prevent biased responds form participants. After the couple completes the questionnaire, the student who signed up for the study will be given two confidential envelops for each parent. Parents will be instructed to fill out the survey individually and their children (student) will return the package to an assigned area. The procedure for this study is appropriate because students have the incentive to gain extra credit. Also, reliability and validity will be determined by the instrumentation of study.

from
International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family
Resource management
is the process in which individuals and families use what they have to get what they want. It begins with thinking and planning and ends with the evaluation of actions taken. Three fundamental concepts in resource management are
values, goals
, and
decision making.
Values such as honesty and trust are principles that guide behavior. They are desirable or important and serve as underlying motivators. Values determine goals, which are sought-after end results. Goals can be implicit or explicit. They can be short-term, intermediate-, or long-term. Decisions are conclusions or judgments about some issue or matter.
Decision making
involves choosing between two or more alternatives and follows a series of steps from inception to evaluation.
Through choices, individuals and families define their lives and influence the lives of others. The study of resource management focuses on order, choices, and control, and how people use time, energy, money, physical space, and information. As an applied social science, it is an academic field that is fundamental to our understanding of human behavior. "The knowledge obtained through the study of management is evaluated in light of its ability to make an individual's or family's management practice more effective" (Goldsmith 2000, p. 5).
Individuals and families have characteristic ways of making decisions and acting called their
management style.
Although similar styles are exhibited within families (such as a tendency to be on time or to finish tasks to completion), there are also wide ranges of styles within families making the study of management intrinsically interesting, especially from a
socialization
point of view. Why do such differences exist and how does the individual's style mesh with that of the other members' styles in the family?
Measuring devices, techniques, or instruments that are used to make decisions and plan courses of action are called management tools. For example, time is a resource and a clock or stopwatch is a management tool.
Resources can be divided up into human and material resources, assets that people have at their disposal.
Material resources
(e.g., bridges, roads, houses) decline through use whereas
human resources
(e.g., the ability to read, ride a bicycle) improve or increase through use.

The Fresh Detergent CaseEnterprise Industries produces Fresh, AnastaciaShadelb
The Fresh Detergent Case
Enterprise Industries produces Fresh, a brand of liquid detergent. In order to more effectively manage its inventory, the company would like to better predict demand for Fresh. To develop a prediction model, the company has gathered data concerning demand for Fresh over the last 33 sales periods. Each sales period is defined as one month. The variables are as follows:
·
Period = Time period in month
·
Demand = Y = demand for a large size bottle of Fresh (in 100,000)
·
Price = the price of Fresh as offered by Ent. Industries
·
AIP = the Average Industry Price
·
ADV = Enterprise Industries Advertising Expenditure (in $100,000) to Promote Fresh in the sales period.
·
DIFF = AIP - Price = the "price difference" in the sales period
Only the trend of PRICE is negative. Other four variables have positive trends. However, the R2 values suggest that for ADV and DEMAND only the linear model is explained by the data points moderately (66% and 51% respectively). For all the other three variables, the R2 values are too poor to accept the models as adequates because very few percent of data points actually represents the linear model.
As expected, the Demand is negatively correlated with Price. But the regression line equation cannot be relied upon due to poor R2 value. For other three variables, there is a positive correlation. Out of these, for the ADV variable, the regression line can be adequate for the R2 value is moderately higher.
Interpretation
Strong positive correlation is found between
1. PERIOD and ADV
2. PERIOD and DEMAND
3. AIP and DIFF
4. DIFF and ADV
5. DIFF and DEMAND
6. ADV and DEMAND
Strong negative correlation exists between
1. PRICE and DIFF

TBSB NetworkThe Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to alAnastaciaShadelb
TBSB Network
The Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to all college football games, events, and updates. From Alabama and Clemson to Mount Union and Wheaton College, Division 1 to Division 3 top to bottom 24/7 college football. Being a college football athlete myself and having played at Clemson University and now here at University of Maryland I understand the different levels of exposure programs and athletes get even across power 5 conferences there is some exposure but different and some more than others. What my goal and plan for TBSB is that we bring the same amounts of awareness and exposure to their programs that the Clemson’s and Alabama’s receive to their programs.
After conducting many research experiments on former college athletes as well as parents, family members of student athletes, and fans I learned that they are not happy with not having the chance to always support and watch programs who aren’t top tier and do not have the same lime light as others. I also found that there is not one particular network that shows all power 5 conference football games on Saturdays, there are different networks you have to pay for monthly to keep up with all football games from different conferences. For example, you have ACC Network, Big 10 Network, and SEC Network for each of these networks you need a different subscription and or certain cable plan. With TBSB we are putting all of these networks under one station to give families, fans, and much more the best possible experience.
I feel like this network will be beneficial to many different people starting with the players. Giving all players who are not receiving a lot of exposure this prime television opportunity for family and friends to watch and cheer them on. Also giving these players opportunities to be evaluated, and scouted by the NFL for those who have that desire. This network will also be beneficial to the university itself, football programs have a chance to increase school’s revenue at any given time. Putting these different schools in the lime light will increase the chances to help up school’s revenue. Last but not least TBSB will be beneficial to families, friends, fans, and much more the people who are not able to make it to the games but would still love to support and cheer on these programs. With the click of a button all of their problems are solved with TBSB giving them the chance to watch not only the games of their loved ones but any other college football games of their choice.
Currently, I am in the process of finalizing the concept and sources of revenue, as of now my guaranteed sources of revenue will come from customers who sign up they will pay a monthly fee. My next source of revenue I want to work with television companies to have TBSB added to their channel listings and work with these different companies for another stream of revenue. These are my biggest “road blocks” at the moment. I also will have to find workers who are willing and dedica ...

There is a saying that states one can only learn through doing it, practically and physically. It is the explanation as to why it is very important to implement the skills acquired in theory into practice to ascertain one’s competence. This is even more crucial in the medical field as they have no choice but just to be perfect at what they are doing, the only secret is through practice. Practicums connect the two worlds of theory and classwork, thus breaking the monotony alongside connecting what was taught in class with what happens in the field. They are important as apart from sharpening the student’s skills, they also open a window of opportunity and build up connections that will come in handy for the student later on. They will feel the experience and the pressure that comes with it thus preparing themselves accordingly.
Statement of the Problem
Timing is essential in the nursing field and the Emergency Room is notorious for its long wait times. The goal of a clinical laboratory is to deliver medically useful results for patients on a timely basis. This goal can be hindered by the new paradigm of the modern laboratory – “do more with less" (Lopez, 2020). When implementing new care models for patients, the patient perspective is critical. The objective of this study was to describe and develop an understanding of the information needs of patients in the ED waiting room concerning ED wait time notification (Calder, 2021). As a patient arrives at the ER waiting area, it's critical to have lab results for the provider to evaluate. I can give you an example of a patient that waited in the waiting room for over 3 hours, no labs were completed because they were waiting for the patient to go back into a room. The patient was suffering from a heart attack and his troponins were elevated and no one knew until 3 hours later. If POC labs were done on all patients as soon as they arrived, mistakes like these can be avoided. Completed POC blood can cut the wait times in half and the laboratory also won't be backed up on resulting lab specimens.
PICOT Question
Question: Is there a significant decrease in Emergency Department patient length of stay (LOS) for those whose blood was analyzed using POC testing versus those whose blood was analyzed using laboratory testing?
· P-Population= emergency room patients
· I-Intervention or Exposure= POC testing of blood specimens
· C-Comparison= Laboratory blood specimens
· O-Outcome= Decrease patient stay in the emergency room
· T-Time = N/A
History of the Issue
The length of patient stay in the emergency department (ED) is an issue that not only increases the severity of illnesses but also reduces the quality of patient care. Serious health conditions including diabetes and hypertension can worsen while patients are ...

1. Do you believe that Joe Trosh has the right to carry a concealed weapon in the hospitaldue to being harassed for visiting casinos?
Part IA: The Purpose of the Report and the Problem
The purpose of the report is to solve the problem of whether or not Joe Trosh has the right to carry a concealed weapon in the hospital as a reason for self-defense against discrimination and harassment from the staff of a rural hospital in Oklahoma. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, harassment is a form of employment that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," n.d.).
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission outlined that “harassment’’ based on race/color discrimination means unwelcome conduct that is based on color, religious background, sex, national origin, older age, disability, or genetic information that is based on medical history ("U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," n.d.).
Hirsch (2018) stated that the impact of discrimination on racism often creates challenges that the human resource manager is responsible for overcoming. In a workplace, racism is evident through macroaggression, defined as indirect, subtle, and unintentional acts of discrimination against marginalized groups.
Harassment based on stereotypes can affect an organization’s decision-making process in many ways, such as making a quick judgment without looking at the consequences. It also makes people feel preconceptions about a specific group of people leading to harsh treatment.in addition, harassment of stereotypes leads to fixed beliefs about the place of women and men in society.
Managers need to know about the Second Amendment right to bear arms and U.S. Supreme Court Cases that examine this issue because it will protect the hospital from legal matters ("Cornell Law School," n.d.). The District of Columbia v. Heller case in which the supreme court held in 2008 on the second Amendment regarding firearm possession. It gives one the right to possess firearms, independent of service in state militia use the guns for self-defense.
A potential legal issue the Supervisor must consider is how to handle discipline decisions that involve employees who have experienced discrimination through harassment by co-workers. According to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, it is “not right for a person to identify themselves as a licensed handgun or as lawfully in possession of any other firemen if the law does not demand information."
Part 1B The Research Experience
To perform my research, I began with online research. I used Google and searched for articles rights of carrying weapons to work as a form of self-defense and discrimination and harassment in the place of work.

INTRODUCTION1.1 Background to research problem
Health care is critical in any society. Managing patient’s data goes a long way in ensuring good treatment measures are taken. Health care information therefore must be collected correctly and stored in a manner which abides by the principled of confidentiality, integrity and accessibility (Kaushal et al., 2009). Data regarding a patient should be kept confidential as much as possible and only retrieved when needed. A good health records management system should be able to confidentially store patient’s data. Each patient should have an account within the system where their data is stored. Access to this data should be given on privileges basis and only to individuals who will use it for treatment of the patient. The patient’s data in a good health information management system should be of high integrity. Data should be collected from the source (the patient) and recorded during the collection process. Having an intermediary stage where data is recorded in in a secondary avenue before being transferred to the primary system could lead to errors thus compromising its integrity. A good health information management system should also ...

Thesis Statement: Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Facebook has emerged as one of the 21st century's largest companies, with a consumer base of people who understand the word internet.
Title of Paper: Facebook Website
I. Introduction
A. Attention grabbing sentence about topic
Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Skyrocketing revenues' simplified version of the term perception is a way of perceiving or viewing things and refers to how the brain knows how things are or processes things (Mosquera et al.,2020).
B. Thesis statement
Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Facebook has emerged as one of the 21st century's largest companies, with a consumer base of people who understand the word internet.
II. First paragraph main point – topic sentence
The case in this study involves deciphering the website perception elements and related responses to the same crucial points as follows:
A. Supporting details (in-text citation for outside resource used as support/evidence)
1. Details about the supporting details
Sensory response refers to the way we respond to specific website visual elements. The website contains both a design pattern and a logo which most individuals worldwide are aware of today.
2. Details about the supporting details
The image of the logo is a letter f-like. The most dominant colour in the ad on Facebook is blue and white shades used to design and highlight the tangible symbol.
B. Supporting details (in-text citation)
There are also lines and shapes in the logo, and as mentioned, the logo lines include lines and a square box forming a bold character, 'f' and highlighting the Facebook company name (Plantin et al.,2018). Contrast and balance are also incorporated. There is contrast present and light colours in the image that easily distinguish the Facebook symbol from other symbols such as WhatsApp and YouTube. The balance is indicated in the proper depiction of the 'F' symbol, highlighting everything around the same.
C. Transition sentence
On the other hand, perceptual response refers to the number of groups of persons attracted to the ad and those not attracted.
III. Second paragraph main point – topic sentence
Though perceptual response targets a potential user base involving many people from any age group, ethnicity, or age, it is more dominant among the youth, in my view.
A. Supporting details (in-text citation)
The aged have no more time in the Facebook like the youth who are in desire remain informed and have interest in sharing their feelings and information through the platform (Plantin et al.,2018).
1. Details about the supporting details
The technical response involves specific elements, including buttons and dropdowns worldwide, which technically impact the user.

Experience
During my clinical placement in a neurosurgical unit, we would occasionalJy exa mine epilepsy
patients to document any seizures. These patients rarely require substantial nursing care, and
most are self-sufficient with only 1-2 prescriptions administered every six hours. I was working
an early shift, and my buddy nurse assigned me to three patients, one of whom was under
examination for a seizure. My buddy nurse handed me the drawer keys and indicated the
medication was in the side drawer when I went with my nurse to provide the patient medication.
Looking over the initial purchase, I began my safety check prior to dispensing the prescription
and discovered that it had expired in February 2019. I requested that my preceptor come over
and take a look at the package. She realized the medication was out of date when she noticed the
expiration date. She then went out of the room with the packaging. When she returned, she
indicated that she had reported the event to the NUM. I then inquired if there was anything else
we needed to do, but I was respectfully told to stay out of it. I took a set of vitals on the patient,
which were all normal, and the buddy nurse was given a new pack of medication that was still
usable. I felt accomplished at the end of my shift since I had followed the procedure for providing
the correct medication and had identified the problem. Being a part. of event reporting and alerting
the doctors, on the other hand, would have been a great experience. Overall, I followed NSHQS's
safety requirements and medication standards when performing my nursing responsibilities.

Topic
How can the fourth industrial revolution technologies be used to address the current climatic issues facing the world?
General Reasoning
I selected this research topic because climatic change has become a major concern today, with world leaders and researchers trying to develop ways to address this concern. There are several adverse impacts of climatic change on the world. One of the adverse effects is that humans and animals face new challenges for their survival due to the consequences of climatic change. Climatic change has resulted in increased temperature levels in the world, rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers, and increased ocean temperatures. It has resulted in frequent and intense droughts, storms, and heat waves threatening animals' lives. It has also resulted in biodiversity loss due to limited adaptability and the economic implications of these climatic changes. One of the ways that can be used to deal with climatic issues is through the use of technology which can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The fourth revolution technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing can play a vital role in addressing these climatic challenges.
Potential thesis
The fourth industrial revolution technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing can play a vital role in addressing these climatic challenges; therefore, it is important to determine how these technologies can be utilized to achieve the environmental objectives of the world.
Thesis map for your Literature Review
The literature review will consist of articles that have been published over the five years. It will consist of journals and articles that have researched fourth industrial revolutions that can be used to address climatic change.
The research topic I selected for my dissertation is related to the program goals and core courses by addressing the revolution of technology and its applications in addressing the world's challenges.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. 1
Methodology Assignment
Participant/Procedures
The intended participants will include both parents and
students. The parents of undergraduate students from a mid-
sized university will be included in the study. The parents will
consist of both fathers and mothers of students. Parents with
students in elementary, junior, and high school levels will be
excluded from the study. Undergraduate students who are
enrolled in communication studies from a mid-sized university
will also be considered as participants for the study. The
students will consist of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and
seniors.
The personal demographic questions that the survey will ask the
parents include education status, ethnicity, and the level of
study of their children as well as their performance record in
school. These questions matter because they will enable the
research to deduce useful information about the individual
parents and their involvement in the education of their children.
For instance, the question on their level of education will assess
their understanding of the purpose of the study as well as the
role of parents in supporting the education initiatives of
students. The question on ethnicity will enable the research to
determine whether parental involvement or support to children
depends on ethnicity. The students will be asked demographic
questions such as their age, gender, and level of study. The
2. specific demographic questions for the students will assist in
validating the measurement scale. For instance, the level of
study will determine the extent of parental support that is
needed further validating the measurement scales. The question
on gender will expose the difference in perception among male
and female students regarding parental support and student
satisfaction.
Random sampling will be utilized to collect data. It involves
sampling where every object has an equal chance of appearing
in the study. This method will be utilized because it produces
an unbiased representation of the population which will help in
drawing useful conclusions about the study. It will also be
utilized due to its simplicity as compared to other sampling
techniques. This sampling method will significantly influence
the outcomes of the results since it will ensure a higher degree
of accuracy and validity.The study will adopt a cross-sectional
survey design which will ensure that the researcher examines
different samples of a population at a given point in time. It
will allow the comparison of results/answers from different
samples at one point in time. I will also utilize this survey
design because it is generally short and inexpensive. They will
also enable me to discover new correlations for the study that
can be studied later.
I intend to send the surveys to 300 parents and undergraduate
students from a mid-sized university. To increase their response
rates, I will provide incentives and I will also keep the survey
relevant. Studies show that sometimes when conducting
surveys, it does not pay to depend on goodwill alone. Incentives
such as gift cards can motivate the respondents to complete the
surveys. However, I will limit the use of incentives to desperate
situations because sometimes people may rush through the
survey because they want a prize. Also, I will focus on the
aspect of survey relevance so that people do not feel that they
are wasting time going through the survey. These two strategies
will increase the response rates and encourage people to take
part in the survey.
3. Independent Variable
The independent variable is the parental academic supportscale
(PASS). It refers to a multidimensional 16-item measure that
assesses the frequency of parent-teacher communication across
five dimensions: academic performance (e.g., inquiring about
how the child can improve a grade), classroom behavior (e.g.,
communication about students’ behavior), preparation (e.g.,
communication about a child’s academic or social preparation),
hostile peer interactions (e.g., communication about aggressive
encounters between students), and health (e.g., communication
about medical issues affecting a child’s work) (Mazer &
Thompson, 2016 p. 214).
Dependent Variable
The dependent variable is Student Communication Satisfaction
Scale (SCSS).It refers to a global measure that assesses the
affective response to the accomplishment of communication
goals and expectations (Goodboy, Martin & Bolkan, 2009,
p.373). The scale items that reflect student communication
satisfaction are less interpersonal and reflect the fulfillment of
classroom expectations. SCSS uses twenty-six items to assess
the general student satisfaction when communicating with an
instructor. The twenty-six items reflect Hecht’s (1978)
conceptualization of communication satisfaction from an
instructional rather than an interpersonal perspective.

Empirical Rationale
Independent variables and dependent variables should be
related.In an experiment,the variable that is changed to measure
the effect on something else is the independent variable.The
dependent variable in an experiment is the one that is being
observed.Dependent variable changes in the response of an
independent variable in an experiment.Through cause and
effect,two variables may be related.In the experiment to
measure student communication satisfaction,the communication
satisfaction was a result of the goals and expectations of
communication being accomplished.The communication
satisfaction between the student and the instructor depends on
the relationship.Intimate or non-intimate.When students
communicate withthe instructor it is mostly intending to gain
information.The behavior of the instructor whether prosocial or
antisocial affects students' communication satisfaction.(Allen,
M., Witt, P. L., &Wheeless, L. P. 2006).
Hypothesis
H1 The first step of the experiment was to come up with a
measure for student communication satisfaction.
This is an alternative hypothesis.The statements made in the
hypothesis suggests what to expect from the research.It shows
the relationship among the variables in the experiment.
5. The research hypothesis attempt to predict a positive
relationship between the students and the instructor.The relation
is expected to be positive because when the behavior of the
instructor does not violate the norms of communication.The
communication satisfaction for students will be increased.This
is a strong predictor of appropriateness and
effectiveness.(Cayanus, J. L., & Martin, M. M. 2008).
Variables
Independent Variables
Operation Definition
The first step is to develop a measure for student
communication satisfaction. There were the creation and
assessment of twenty-four items used to assess the satisfaction
of students when they were communicating with their
instructor.16 items were first created and revised the there was
an addition of 8 items. The created items were to reflect the
conceptualization of communication satisfaction. Out of the 24
items created,18 were positively worded while 6 were
negatively worded. In the preliminary pool, the 24 items were
subjected to factor analysis. The criteria used to obtain factors
from the factor analysis were;
1. The Eigenvalue of each factor had to have a minimum of 2.0
2. Each factor had to account for at least 4% of the variance
3. Each factor did not have to cross load other factors
4. Each factor had to have a loading of .70 and the other factor
had to be less than .30.
Items that didn’t meet the test were deleted. There were three
which didn’t meet the 70/30 rule of the criteria
Range
The format for the response of the items utilized ranged from(1)
those that were disagreed to (7) that was agreed.
1. Students don’t like talking to the instructor
2. The student is not satisfied after talking to the instructor
6. 3. The student felt that they had accomplished somethi ng after
talking to their instructor
4. When the student talk to the instructor, fell their expectations
fulfilled
5. The conversation with the instructor feels worthwhile
6. Conversations are rewarding when talking to the instructor
7. The instructor makes an effort to satisfy the concerns of the
student

Parental and their support
Article 1: Parental Academic Support
Question 1
This research tends to offer parental academic support pieces of
7. evidence that are valid. It does that by coming with a Parental
Academic Support Scale (PASS) that contains 16 items that
entail assessing the child's support in terms of performance in
academics, preparation, hostile peer interactions, behavior in
the classroom, and health-wise. A correlation was observed
between two aspects: the PASS and the teacher-parent contact
scale, in that validity evidence that is concurrent, was realized.
The relationship the parental academic support scale possesses
with a child's success implies that the scale has relation to other
similar constructs, hence providing evidence that is initial
construct validity(Mazer& Thompson, 2016, p. 214).
Question 2
Concurrent validity is attained when there is a correlation with
the former validated instrument that entails assessing similar
constructs or somewhat different constructs but related. Scores
of the parents on the scale of teacher-parent contact show a
positive relation to thespecific scores on the PASS. Construct
validity involves addressing significance of a construct
fulfilling the required relationships with other constructs. There
is an inverse relationship between the perceptions of the parents
on the children's success in studies and parental academic
support(Mazer & Thompson, 2016, p. 216).
Question 3
The parents' scores on the Teacher parent contact scale show a
positive relation to their parental academic support scale (Mazer
& Thompson, 2016, p. 215).
Question 4
Assessment of academic support that is from parents was done
using Thompson and Mazer’s measure having 16 items. Likert-
type scale having 5 points were responded to by the
participants. Teacher parent contact assessment was carried out
through the 12 things of Seitsinger, depicting how often parents
contact the teacher. Success in school, here parents were given
a 3 item scale to give out their child's perceptions (Mazer &
Thompson, 2016, p. 218).
Question 5
8. Pearson correlation was employed to evaluate the relationships
between teacher-parent contact scale and parental support in
terms of academic, the perceptions of the parentson the
learners’ success, academic performance, peer interaction that
are hostile, preparation, health and classroom related behavior
showed a positive relationship with the teacher-parent contact
scale scores. The Pearson correlation confirmed associations
that are inverse withthe five factors mentioned above(Mazer&
Thompson, 2016, p. 218).
Question 6
One month duration for the study was little as the parent-
teacher interaction possesses differences in how often it is done
in a semester. The sample mostly entailed mothers' responses
concerning their female children, which becomes a limitation in
that the parental academic support scale carries out
measurements of parents' perceptions in terms of interactions
that are supportive. Challenges in terms of the measures' self-
reported nature become an issue to those seeking to research
young students (Mazer & Thompson, 2016, p. 220).
Article 2: The Changing Nature of Parent-Teacher
Communication: Mode Selection in the Smartphone Era.
Question 1
This research talks about the evolution of technology from e-
mail communication to smartphone technology. It entails how
this smartphone has increased parent-teacher communication,
posing a relationship between parental academic support and the
achievements of the students(Thompson, Mazer, & Flood Grady,
2015, p. 187).
Question 2
Smartphones can be employed in communication through social
media and broadly do lead to increased parent-teacher
interaction. Media richness entails the understanding of the use
or selection of effective media for teacher-parent
communication. The PASStakes the measurements of the
frequency communication of parent-teacher takes place across
9. the modes as well as along preparation, academic performance,
behavior in the classroom, peer interaction that are hostile and
health(Thompson, Mazer, & Flood Grady, 2015, p. 180-190).
Question 3
What modes do the parents choose to use, including the latest
communication technologies to communicate support in
education? (Thompson, Mazer, & Flood Grady, 2015, p. 190).
Question 4
The frequency related to parent-teacher communication was
assessed using a parental and academic support scale that
contains 16 items, a multidimensional measure in which the
respondents do the rating on the five factors mentioned earlier.
Questions that are open- ended in nature were presented to
determine why parents go for specific communication modes
(Thompson, Mazer, & Flood Grady, 2015, p. 192).
Question 5
It was discovered that often parents employed e-mail (about
12.6%) followed by a face to face communication that is about
5.3%, phone communication entailed about 2.7%,
communication in terms of writing took about 1.2%, messaging
through texts took about 0.2% while Skype zero percent in
terms of academic support. It was also realized that parents do
not choose richer modes for complex topics, and they used
learner mode that is e-mail, many times for the instrumental
contents.The parents recognized academic support as the most
significant support on hostile peer interactions, classroom
behaviors, preparation, and then health(Thompson, Mazer, &
Flood Grady, 2015, p. 193).
Question 6
The scale of measuring gives the framework of assessment of
the parents' selection modes, but it fails to include the teachers
who could have provided the insights on the challenges linked
to the methods. The other one is that even if there was a higher
response, responses that were written did not allow for the
follow-up questions to ensure the modes'
effectiveness(Thompson, Mazer, & Flood Grady, 2015, p. 205).
10. Article 3: Parent-Teacher Communication
Question 1
The purpose of this research study is laying emphasize how
parent-teacher communication proves to be having several
significance to the students. It improves the performance of the
students. Better parent-teacher communication can result in
increased parental involvement, hence leading to the
development of public interest and support for the schools
(Work & Stafford, 1987,p. 182).
Question 2
The parent-teacher conference is the very first form of parent-
teacher communication that is predominant. It is the most
valued by the parents as it is of great benefit to the child. The
deficit of skills on the teachers’ side has rendered them to view
it as inappropriate. We called home- school communication,
which refers to the transmission of information to home by the
school and transmission of information to school from home.
This tends to be effective with parent-teacher meetings and
workshops, visits to homes by the teachers(Work & Stafford,
1987, p.183-184).
Question 3
A relationship exists between the student behavior and the
parent-teacher communication (Work & Stafford, 1987, p. 183)
Question 4
There exist a lot of shared experiences with the teachers and
students and the families of the learners. This is caused by the
changes in society due to historical purposes that led to school
centralization. Now the teachers seem not to be part of the
community outside the school or even attend social functions
like churches. The relationship of parent-teacher and
performance or behavior can be depicted in terms of the
students' behavior and academic performance (Work & Stafford,
1987, p. 184).
11. Question 5
To ensure there is affectivity in the home- school
communication, the teachers should understand the students'
family structure and affirmation of respect for all the families.
Parents' involvement needs to be valued a lot and given time
and space. Sensitivity to the parents enhances their sense of
belonging. Parents are now moving to the phase of becoming
vocal in the decision making regarding education. Parent-
teacher communication should be in line with the changes in
family structures and needs. Improvement of the parent-teacher
conferences can be achieved by seeking alternative information-
sharing methods (Work & Stafford, 1987, p. 185).
Question 6
Teachers have fallen to a delicate position because they have to
know more than 100 family structures since there are even more
than 100 students. It is tough to know every learner's family,
needs, goals, and problems(Work & Stafford, 1987, p. 186).

Final Research Proposal Assignment
100 points
Final Research Proposal Submission: You are going to combine
all of the important elements from previous assignments into
one unified research proposal. Please do not copy and paste
exactly what you have written in previous assignments as the
format in which I asked you to write something up in Week 2, 3,
4, or 5 may not translate to this final document. In other words,
every assignment leading up to this will be utilized, but you
will have to re-write some information to make it flow.
Assignment information to include:
· COMM Variables Assignment (information from this
assignment should be used in the review of literature and the
methodology sections)
· Past Library Research (information from this assignment
should be used in the review of literature section)
· Empirical Rational, Hypothesis Assignment (information from
this assignment should be used in the empirical rationale and
hypothesis/RQ sections)
· Methodology Assignment (information from this assignment
14. should be used in the methodology section)
Here is a specific break-down of how the research proposal
should be presented; makes sure that you submit all 8 sections
(in order) for the final research proposal:
1. Cover Page – Include a correct APA 7th Edition Cover Page
for a student paper.
2. Relevance of Topic (this section serves as your introduction;
about 2-3 paragraphs): In this section you want us to learn why
this variable has gained importance; why should we care to
learn more about this particular style, approach? Why is this an
important topic area, to us as students or faculty?
3. Review of Literature (about 2-3 pages): In this section you
want to teach us what you have learned from the readings. What
are the major findings on this topic? What are the “takeaway”
messages that you have gained from all of your research on this
topic? How can we use this information to improve our
instructional, classroom relationships? Any general or specific
advice? Coherent literature reviews often have separate sections
for each variable (Hint: You may utilize bold headings of the
variable names to separate these sections); with each section,
first, providing the conceptual definition of the variable,
second, including relevant findings from previous studies. The
literature review is a straightforward and concise discussionof
relevant literature to provide the background and rationale for
your research question and hypothesis. Rather than provide a
series of seemingly related paragraphs, you should weave
together all of the sources you have read into a coherent
argument. You need to organize this material in a logical way –
the worst thing your group can do is regurgitate information
from the past library research in an “orderly” fashion. What I
mean by this is that each paragraph is basically a re-write of the
findings from that assignment and they are all strung together
without any sort of guiding purpose. You need to have
structure. The structure could be as simple as: “Negative
15. Outcomes” and “Positive Outcomes.” If you are having trouble
with organizing your paper, please reach out to me for a
meeting. By the end of the literature review, the reader should
understand what the variables are, why they are important, and
why they should be related. Pay close attention to the
organizational framework of the literature review.
4. Empirical Rationale, Hypothesis (about 2-3 paragraphs): At
the end of the review, but before the Hypothesis and Research
Question are presented, you are to provide a rationale (include a
separate heading for this section entitled “Rationale”) to
introduce the Hypothesis and Research Question. This should be
a logical, well-supported paragraph indicating why the IV and
DV should be related in the manner that you have predicted.
Additionally, you should provide rationale for why it is
important to learn more about your IV or DV through the
research question. In other words, why do we need to learn
more about the variable to increase our understanding of
communication?If you did your first version of this assignment
correctly, then you might actually be able to just copy and paste
the assignment content into this section. Pay very careful
attention to my comments and suggestions for revisions PRIOR
to copy and pasting anything.
5. Research Question/Hypothesis: Your hypothesis is a specific
prediction or set of predictions that you will test during your
study; your research question is posed to learn more about a
particular variable. (Check APA for how to properly format
your H and RQ).
6. Methodology:If you did your first version of this assignment
correctly, then you might actually be able to just copy and paste
the assignment content into this section. Pay very careful
attention to my comments and suggestions for revisions PRIOR
to copy and pasting anything.
7. Resources Required (answer the following questions):
a. Think about your potential survey design. What will you need
to accomplish survey distribution? If using an online resource,
what will you use? If administering hard copy surveys, what is
16. your plan for printing, collating, distribution, and data entry?
b. How much time do you intend to spend on your research
project? In other words, given what you have already
completed, how much longer do you actually think it would take
to complete the entire project? Recall, that after data entry you
still have to analyze, report out, interpret, and write up the
results section, discussion section, and conclusion.
8. Overall Reflection (answer the following questions):
a. Given the other types of variables that we discussed in Week
3 of lecture, what other variable(s) might be worthwhile to
study in your current research proposal? Think of at least one
other variable and identify what the relationship to the other
two might be (e.g., mediating variable). Why might this variable
be worthy of inclusion?
b. You have experience thinking about, researching, and
hypothetically designing a research study from the social
scientific perspective; however, would you want to continue
conducting research via the social scientific paradigm? Or
would you prefer another paradigm as we discussed in the
earlier weeks of this course? Why?
c. What were your greatest challenges in completing the final
research proposal? How you were able to work around them (or
not). If there were no challenges, then describe in detail why
you believe that to be true.
d. Were there elements of the course that you would have like
expanded, explained more thoroughly, or concepts that were
unclear?
e. Did the lack of a textbook detract from your learning? Why
or why not?
