PSY 790 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
As the final step in your journey toward your master of science degree in psychology, you will complete a capstone project that integrates the knowledge and
skills you have developed in previous coursework and over the duration of the term by creating a research concept paper and professional presentation that will
be developed for an identified target audience. You will also reflect on your journey through the psychology program and how you plan to position yourself
professionally. The capstone project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold to the final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Six. The final capstone project will be submitted in Module Nine.
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three separate components of the project, but
they all operate together to make up the whole capstone experience and are not assessed separately. You will be evaluated on all three components as a unit in
determining whether you have demonstrated proficiency in each outcome. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a running narrative of
your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the course outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest professional
standards.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Advocate for and extend psychology’s role and responsibility in promoting agency and the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, and
organizations
Adapt to shifting demands and ill-structured problems by critically evaluating the relevance, priority, and appropriateness of various information and
potential courses of action
Design, conduct, and evaluate research through the lens of its potential to advance knowledge in psychology as well as the psychological well-being of
individuals, communities, and organizations
Integrate psychological theories, methods, and research to generate new knowledge and promote agency and the psychological well-being of individuals,
communities, and organizations
Incorporate empathy, reflectivity, and an appreciation for collaboration and diversity of perspectives into efforts to promote agency and the psychological
well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations
Protect the integrity and professional responsibility of psychology through the demonstration of ethical comportment in all aspects of the profession
Prompt
For the capstone project, you will first develop a research concept paper that introduces your topic, research question, literature review, research methodology,
and ethical considerations. You will also submit a presentation that should be developed for your identified target audience, as we ...

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.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Progress on proposal
Ethical Considerations
Inquiry Proposal and Forms
Tutor Paula
Nottingham
How is your planning going – area of interest? Inquiry/practitioner
research questions?
Have you found sources/literature/practitioner art to inform your
thinking/planning for you proposal and critical reflection?
The ethics and title forms – send drafts to tutors!
Look at Reader 6 for tools
Tutorials to help with the planning – email your tutor for a meet-up!
Remember this is the planning stage!
Paula Nottingham
2. Summing up Part 4 and leading into Part 5
Where are you now? Discuss this with your tutor.
•Progress on you topic and then inquiry Questions
•Progress on working with Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
•you are not doing the ‘research’ now but you can ask informal
questions with professional colleagues to help focus your inquiry –
save the ‘research’ for Module 3
•Insider Research and ethical considerations
•Forms – Employer/Professional Support and Ethics Release Form
– Prepared Informed Consent form
•Title form for your specialist title – all up on MyLearning
3. Taking stock – writing your proposal
WHERE ARE YOU IN THIS PROCESS?
WHERE ARE THE OTHERS in our BAPP NETWORK?
The proposal incorporates
practitioner research but also
any outcomes you hope to
get out of doing the inquiry
Have you chosen a topic and
narrowed it down to
something more specific?
A special interest group (SIG) is
about finding a few people
within BAPP Arts or in your
workplace who can help you
think about and discuss your
topic and ethics.
If you have not already – ask
someone to join you in
discussion on the blogs, FB,
LinkedIn or face-to–face!
What are your inquiry
questions? What do you
want to find out?
4. You have been looking at sources - these can come from areas of practice and
books about how to research your area of practice.
LOOK at Summon and the Library Guides in the Library section on My UniHub –
there is also a study section on within the module up on MyLearning.
Don’t forget to use other practitioners and their arts research – these will also
inform the codes of practice’ you use for your inquiry… Look at the research
literature on the Reading List (on your module site).
5. (Blaxter, Hughes and Tight,
2001)
The proposal will also include
some practitioner research.
A research analogy – exploratory
practitioner research might relate
more to the 2nd
example?
What do you think
now that you have
thought about several
topics or questions?
What is your inquiry
going to be about?
6. Outline of the Inquiry Plan – these are the headings you use to write
up your proposal – this outline is in the Module 2 Handbook
Title of the Professional Inquiry (a working title of your inquiry)
Context of the Inquiry (what is your professional practice and why is this inquiry
meaningful to you within your professional practice)
Rationale and Inquiry Question(s) (what are you trying to find out more about
and how will this improve your practice)
Aims / Objectives (Aims: what outcomes do you plan to achieve; Objectives:
what are you are actually going to do in the inquiry)
Literature, art work and Ideas (What are the existing ideas, discussions and
thoughts about the area or topic of your inquiry?)
Inquiry tools & Ethical consent/permissions (What data collecting tools will
you use and why? use your experience piloting inquiry tool to explain why you
think these are appropriate. Explanations should relate to the Ethic Release form
and Employer/Professional Support forms you will submit about your inquiry)
Approach to analysis (how will you think through the information you will collect
in the inquiry. That is how will you find a relationship or draw conclusions between
the existing ideas, your experience and data you collect)
Resources (What are the resources needed to carry out the inquiry)
Schedule of activities
7. A summary of basic research design (Mason, 2002)
You will probably recognise that we use a variation of this type of language for the practitioner
research aspects of your inquiry proposal – your consideration of ethical values is
embedded into the inquiry.
Research problem, question or hypothesis
Background of research (context) - theory, purpose
Methodology – e.g. constructivist… using approaches such as case studies
Methods - tools (observations, interviews, focus groups, surveys, documents )
Sampling – who are the people you will be talking with?
Data handling and analysis – what you learn from talking with others
Pilot study - not just trying tools like Module 2 – this is after ethics permission – this would be
the first interview as an example for the rest
Ethics important bit to plan for your professional inquiry DRAFT FORMS BEFORE
SUBMISSION ARE ADVISED
Timetable – leave time in after feedback
Resources – computer, travel?, any thing else?
8. Inquiry Proposal – indicated 3000 word count
An inquiry proposal is based on the activities you will
carry out in order to undertake your professional
inquiry, practitioner research and activities will have
implications and outcomes.
Each person will produce a unique proposal.
It should be written in the academic style.
It involves using ethical practice.
9. Portfolio submission for Module 2 WBS3630 – what you will need to do
for your submission (copied form the handbook)
Part 1: Professional Inquiry Proposal
You are asked to produce a proposal plan for a professional inquiry. This
plan should inform the reader of the following:
the topic of your inquiry and why it is meaningful to you in your
professional practice:
•what the discussions are around this topic in published literature, your
professional field, and the ethical considerations these raise.
•what inquiry tools you are going to use to gather data and why those
tools are appropriate (including paperwork to support ethical conduct).
•what analysis process you will carry out using the data you collected, your
experiences and the published literature and professional discussions.
THIS IS FOR NEXT TIME!!
10. 5a
Taking your place of work /
professional community which
is familiar to you, consider the
ethics which might apply
there.
What are the codes of
practice/regulations which
guide the setting?
Do this without reference to
any documents or discussion.
Rely on your own thoughts
wholly. Blog your thoughts.
5b
Find out what are the codes
of practice / regulations which
steer the ethical framework in
the place of work /
professional community.
These could come from
statutory sources e.g.
legislation or from
professional sources.
Blog how your findings differ
from your assumptions and
thoughts above.

Practitioner research ethics
14. e.g. Case Study 3: The Dance Class
(pp. 19- 20)
Alicia is a student on the BA Professional Practice
course in Middlesex and she is doing her last project –
an inquiry into how warm ups are used during dance
classes. She is doing the inquiry in a number of dance
schools who run classes on a commercial basis.
Already she has carried out her inquiry in two schools
and found examples of good practice… READ THE
REST
Thinking point / discussion – using the
framework consider the ethical issue.
Are these teaching methods ethical?
Is there any way in which they are
ethical? Does moral relativism add
anything to the issues?
Use Reader 5 to help think through your inquiry… scan the Reader
– there is a lot there – but 2 pages to definitely look at are:
p. 20
Who are your participants?
(role, experience, age?)
How have you chosen these
participants?
Why were the participants
chosen (relate to Inquiry
question)
How will you contact them?
Will you need to talk to
Gatekeepers to do this?
How will you make sure that
your participants can leave
the inquiry if they desire to do
so?
Do the participants have your
contact details.
Are you storing the
participants data safely?
15. What is the
relationship
between personal
ethics and
professional
ethics ?
What about the
relationship of your
work and society?
17. 2. The ethics release form is about
explaining the practitioner research you
plan to do.
Who will you talk to ? Why?
The context? How can you insure that
you will not harm anyone?
Confidentiality? Anonymity?
Use the BLANK BAPP Arts informed
consent form
You can draft your ‘invitations to
participate’ and information sheets
(or emails) ready to send to your
participants…
Send in a draft pdf version to your tutor.
1. Your employer/professional support
form is about getting the ‘gatekeeper’
permission for carrying out the inquiry
in a workplace. It relates to
professional ethics.
Choose the form that relates to your
workplace – you may need more than
one form if you work in 2 places. f you
are freelance you can have a peer
professional colleague sign this.
Fill it out - print it – then get the
signature – then scan in a copy and
send in that digital copy to your tutor.
2 Forms explain and get permission for your inquiry proposal. They need to be
submitted – draft to your adviser before that! UP ON MyLearning WBS3630
18. Give specifics on this form –
1 - Outline context and sector - where
do you work and what is your role?
2 - State your project aims-why are
you doing the practitioner research?
3. State your project methodology –
what tools or methods will you use?
be specific e.g. 4-6 dance professionals
or 2 teachers in my school and 1 Head –
using informed consent forms and the
signed Employer/Professional Support
form form the Head Teacher
4. Tick all the boxes and comment
There are 2 types of this form –
ask your tutor which one if it is
not apparent – 1 for people with
main employers and one for
freelance
Note* we are doing additional
templates for letters home for
those working in schools – if
required. Any research with under
16s years requires extra care.
Next year the university is having 1
ethics form for everyone!
MORE ADVICE on the Ethics Release From and Employer/professional
Support form
19. ALSO prepare the
informed consent
form and send this in
It is up online – and
the information sheet
– you can prepare
this to send as well –
but we need to see
the informed consent
form prepared
MORE ADVICE on the BAPP Arts Informed Consent form template
20. Portfolio submission FROM HANDBOOK

employer or professional peer dependent on your proposal
3. Pre-prepared BAPP Arts Informed Consent form
4. Award Specialism Title form – this is a negotiated element
21. Action plan for the next steps?
Do an Action plan for developing your topic and thinking about your
ethical issues Part 5 TALK TO YOUR TUTOR
Looking at professional codes of practice and your university inquiry
research…
Starting to write up the proposal draft…
Sending drafts of the forms to your adviser….
Part 6 – looking at tools/methods – trying out with others in BAPP
Arts or close friends how to carry out the tools (but not on members
of the public – that is after ethical approval)
Completing the proposal draft for feedback – send this to your tutor
after your cover Part 6 – the tools. Start looking at the ethics form
now…
22. Module 2 WBS3630
This study period submission for your Module 2 is
12th
May 2017. There will be more information up
about this closer to the submission date.
The proposal is assessed and the ethics go to the ethics
board in June – after that you will get feedback about your
inquiry and the practitioner research. After this permission
from the university (sometimes with conditions) you can
carry out your research.
So to inform your planning – this would mean that
you will submit your final inquiry WBS3760 Module 3
in January 2018 unless you need to self-defer.
