This document discusses key terms used in research. It defines an abstract as a summary of all sections that helps readers decide whether to read the full report. The significance of the study states the importance of the research. A statement of the problem presents an overview and specific aims generated from the general problem, typically in question form. The scope delimits the research area and parameters while delimitations describe boundaries like sample size and location. A literature review examines previous work on the topic. The methodology explains how the research was conducted regarding design, sampling, instruments, procedures, and analysis. A bibliography lists all sources. Plagiarism occurs when ideas or content are used without acknowledging the original sources.
This is a North Central University essay about analyzing peer-reviewed research. Components include the research problem, purpose, question, sample, method and design, variables, instruments, findings and results, limitations, and the conclusion.

To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the "Section B: Problem Description" assignment in Module 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists," available in the textbook appendix or electronically on the textbook student resource CD-ROM. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template," available in the textbook appendix. Use the "Evaluation Table Template" as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the projects problem and proposed solution. Make sure to do the following:
1) Include a description of the search method (e.g., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
2) Summarize all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
3) Incorporate a description of the validity of the internal and external research.
It is essential to make sure that the research support for the proposed solution is sufficient, compelling, relevant, and from peer-reviewed professional journal articles.
Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design in Module 3 with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

Running head: EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 1
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 2
Translating Educational Research into Practice
Problem
For a long time, education research has not been able to impact classroom instructional practices and educational policies. Educational based researchers argue that their primary work is to research the various aspects of learning and teaching to then present their findings at various conferences and publishing them in different educational journals. Their busy schedule does not allow them to train practitioners (Powney & Watts, 2018). On the other hand, practitioners are busy concentrating on there, and they do not have time to review new literature. This brings up the question as to who is responsible for this gap. In the real sense, there should be a connection between the two, and both parties should play a role in bridging this gap.
Practices, Policies, and Procedures That Have Led to the Problem
There are various reasons for this persistent gap between the teaching practices that teachers use and the guidance that educational research provides. However, three of them stand out. They include the trustworthiness issue, teacher preparation issues, and the research practice issue. The trustworthiness issue comes in because much of the published educational research and disseminated to teachers, policymakers and researchers are often not good and of uneven quality. Research is incredibly demanding, and it is not always possible to choose the most appropriate methodological approach. It is essential that the methodology is applied rigorously whether it is for qualitative or quantitative research (Suter, 2012).
Teachers, on the other hand, want to provide quality education to their children. When they turn into research to aid in teaching, their main expectation is that the information they get is trustworthy. If the information is not trustworthy both the teacher and the student will fail terribly. The teachers also have to be prepared. The applicability and relevance of a research finding will be minimal if the administrators and teachers are unable to access the data, unable to develop strategies for implementing the research findings and do not understand or are unable to interpret the research findings in a meaningful and accurate manner (Fenwick, Edwards, & Sawchuk, 2012).
While teacher preparation and research trustworthiness play significant roles in determining the extent to which research informs instructional practices and educational policies, a fundamental problem is our inability to understand and identify an environment where the research findings can be applied in complex school systems as well as classrooms. While specific strategies, instructional models and approaches may be useful in a setting that is controlled, there is scanty information about the factors that impede or foster application of these modalities under varying contexts and among diverse teachers and students' pop.

Nov 3-7, 2022
Imagine once again that you are an automobile manufacturing executive tasked with increasing sales in your state. You wish to do a qualitative study to obtain the perspective of sales personnel regarding an incentive program you implemented at few dealerships that quantitatively proved to be successful. The three sources of data for your case study are individual semi-structured interviews, archival documents, and field observations. What are the most significant strengths and weaknesses of the methods for collecting data from these data sources? Why are these significant? What skills are needed to collect the data effectively? Explain. What concerns do you have about the feasibility of implementing these methods of data collection for this study? Explain.
One student already answered the below answer
Use this students answer below to make sure your answer sounds similar
STUDENT ANSWER- In the scenario for the automobile manufacturing company and the perspective of the sales personnel using the semi-structured interview, field observations, and archival documents would have positives and negatives. The semi-structured interview provides an opportunity for in-depth, open-ended questions (Steffes & Jacobs, 2021). The researcher can stray from the established questions, which allows for follow-up questions. A weakness might be the time it takes to interview all the participants, conduct the interview, and the researcher's bias. Field observations can not be recorded as they occur and rely on the researcher's memory. The researcher needs to record the evidence quickly after the event (Steffes & Jacobs, 2021). Finally, archival documents need approval before they are used. For our scenario, looking at companies implementing an incentive program would benefit the research. The data will provide a rich description of the participants. The researcher must be familiar with the research but not provide bias when conducting the research. Some considerations need to be made when collecting data. Modality, time of the interview, if they are recorded, and sharing the purpose of the interview must be disclosed to those participating in the research. Concerns about the feasibility would be money, time, and the number of participants.

Field observations can not be recorded as they occur and rely on the researcher's memory. The researcher needs to record the evidence quickly after the event (Steffes & Jacobs, 2021). Finally, archival documents need approval before they are used. For our scenario, looking at companies implementing an incentive program would benefit the research. The data will provide a rich description of the participants. The researcher must be familiar with the research but not provide bias when conducting the research. Some considerations need to be made when collecting data. Modality, time of the interview, if they are recorded, and sharing the purpose of the interview must be disclosed to those participating in the research. Concerns about the feasibility would be money, time, and the number of participants.

Operation âBlue Starâ 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
