Research Hypothesis
Students who take breakfast perform better in class that those who don’t (FRAGMENT SENTENCE)
Research question
Does talking breakfast improve the class performance of a student?
Introduction
This research is meant to bring out the relationship between two variables and state how one affects the other. It has a dependent variable as well as independent variables. It should determine whether or not taking breakfast affects the class performance of a student.
Null hypothesis
Talking breakfast does not improve class performance of a student (SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION)
Sampling method
The method used to come up with the sample was the random sampling method. It is because it is unbiased and each unit of the population has an equal chance to be selected and used for the study. There is the assurance that the population will be equally sampled. (REWORD BECAUSE IT IS AWKAWARD)
Sample size
Determination of the right sample size is important because it makes the result of the research more true and reliable. 100 students were selected randomly for the purpose of the research.
Population of interest
The population that was targeted by this research is the entire student body. But since it is not practical to study every unit of the population, the sample was selected to represent the whole population. (YOU CANNOT START THE SENTENCE WITH “BUT” SINCE IT’S A RESEARCH PAPER) The sample size is big enough to represent the real picture depicted by the population under study.
Data analysis
The data was randomly collected from the students in order to create a sample to be used for the study. The data that was collected was analyzed so that to determine if there exists (REWORD) any relationship between breakfast and class performance.
Statistical analysis
This research is to determine the relationship between variables. Correlation refers to how strong two variables are related (Ashley Crossman). (NEEDS TO BE IN PROPER APA FORMAT) Correlation analysis was the most relevant in this case given the fact that the study is to determine the relation between variables. You need to answer this question: Depending on if you are using corr ...

Social Work Research Couples CounselingKathleen is a 37-year-ol.docxrosemariebrayshaw
Social Work Research: Couples Counseling
Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use. Kathleen works as a nurse in a local hospital on the cardiac floor where she has been employed for 8 years.
Lisa reports experimenting with substances during college. She currently drinks wine on occasion. Lisa does not have a criminal history. Lisa has had many jobs and stated that she was unable to find her niche until recently when she took out a loan and opened a small Hungarian restaurant serving her grandmother’s recipes. Her restaurant has been open 1 year. Lisa reports that while she enjoys the work and has found her niche, she must work constantly to be successful, and she is worried the business might fail.
Kathleen and Lisa have been together for over 15 years. They have a close group of friends and see their families on major holidays. They came to outpatient counseling at a nonprofit agency to examine the possibility of starting a family together. They were both feeling ambivalent about it, and it had been the source of more than a few arguments, so they decided to come to counseling to address their concerns in a more productive way. They said they chose this agency because it was recognized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) friendly. They asked about my sexual orientation and my history because they were concerned about my level of experience working with the issues they were presenting.
I thanked Kathleen and Lisa for sharing this concern, and I informed them of various programs I had worked in within the agency, including supportive services for LGBT youth in schools and in the community. I also shared our agency philosophy and mission, which includes outcome measures and engaging clients in feedback to evaluate practice.
I explained the tools we used to measure outcomes. The first form measures how each of them are feeling with regard to their life and current circumstances. There are four different scales to measure aspects of their lives, such as social, family, emotional health, etc. I also provided the chart on which I score the scales and track progress. I explained that the purpose was to see where they began to demonstrate progress with the work we were doing.
The second form measures how well I am providing treatment. I demonstrated the four scales that measure if the client feels heard and understood and if we addressed in session what they wanted to. I explained that this should address their concern about my ability to assist them. Because we would be evaluating both how they felt and how the sessions were going each week, we could make adjustments on treatme.
Assignment 1 Introduction to Research ProposalsJust because you.docxmaribethy2y
Assignment 1: Introduction to Research Proposals
Just because you thought of an interesting research question and have a desire to conduct research does not mean that your research will automatically be supported by faculty or funded by an organization. In order to gain stakeholder approval, you must submit a research proposal. Much like an outline of a paper or a treatment of a movie script, the research proposal contains several parts that begin with a research question and end with a literature review. For this Assignment, you compile a research proposal that includes a research problem, research question, and a literature review.
For this Assignment, choose between the case studies entitled "Social Work Research: Couple Counseling" and "Social Work Research: Using Multiple Assessments." Consider how you might select among the issues presented to formulate a research proposal.
Be sure to consult the outline in Chapter 14 the Yegidis et al. text for content suggestions for the sections of a research proposal. As you review existing research studies, notice how the authors identify a problem, focus the research question, and summarize relevant literature. These can provide you with a model for your research proposal.
Submit
a 5-page research proposal stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be either qualitative or quantitative).
·
Use 8-10 of the most relevant literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts, and define variables relevant to the question.
·
Include a literature review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your problem and question.
·
The literature review should also include a description of methods used by previous researchers.
·
Finally, be sure to explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.

Association between Religion and Belief on EuthanasiaWe are te.docxcockekeshia
Association between Religion and Belief on Euthanasia
We are testing the strength of the correlation between religion (relig16, RELIGION IN WHICH RAISED) and the belief that doctors should be allowed to euthanize a patient with an incurable disease on request of the patient and the patient’s family (letdie1, ALLOW INCURABLE PATIENTS TO DIE).
The research problem is to test whether the two variables relig16 and letdie1 are independent or if the belief that doctors should be allowed to euthanize a patient with an incurable disease on request of the patient and the patient’s family significantly depend on their religion.
Thus, the appropriate hypotheses to be tested is:
Null hypothesis H0: The belief that doctors should be allowed to euthanize a patient with an incurable disease on request of the patient and the patient’s family (letdie1) is independent of their religion (relig16).
Alternative hypothesis H1: The belief that doctors should be allowed to euthanize a patient with an incurable disease on request of the patient and the patient’s family (letdie1) significantly depend on their religion (relig16).
We use chi-square test statistic to test this hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance.

We observe that if we apply a chi-square test without any re-coding, 45.5% cells have expected count less than 5 (as is mentioned in the chi-square output table above).
Thus, the chi-square test fails to meet the desired requirement and so, we use re-coding to combine certain categories of religion (with expected counts less than 5).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
