Short Answer 1
In 1–2 sentences, explain each of the principles or concepts of early childhood research listed below.
· Quantitative approaches
· Qualitative approaches
· Longitudinal research
· Hypothesis
· Replication
· Generalizability
Your Response
Quantitative approaches in early childhood are collecting data that are numerical in form which explains relationships between independent and dependent variables constitute research.
Qualitative approaches in early childhood are Non-numerical in form but are usually text-based data that seeks understanding rather than explanation and encourages complexity in the data.
Longitudinal research is a design that allows investigation of naturally-occurring changes on repeated occasions over a substantial period of time.
Hypothesis in early childhood is referred to as a predictive statement containing an explanation of a phenomenon and its cause.
Replication is the process of repeating a study with different researchers in different settings.
Generalizability in early childhood is results from a research study to apply a phenomenon for the broader population in real-world conditions.

Writing a Philosophy paperEach topic I give you will ask you t.docxambersalomon88660
Writing a Philosophy paper
Each topic I give you will ask you to “explain and evaluate” a position or idea or argument. There are four elements you must address in your essay (these four will be the elements I am grading).
I will give you a score of 0-5 for each of these four elements. I will then add the scores together to calculate your grade on the essay. If you score a perfect “5” on each element the maximum total score would be 20.
The score can be converted into a letter grade:
Score Letter Grade
19-20 A
18 A-
17 B
16 B-
14-15 C
13 D
12 D-
11-below F
I provide the scale for each element below. With each scale I have included specific directions that will help you score higher on that element. The bold print is what I will use to determine your score. I hope that by reading this you will feel confident that you know how to organize and write the essay.
#1: Describe, identify and explain two or more different philosophical positions and the relevant philosophical concepts.
As I grade, I will ask myself, “How well did you describe and explain both positions (either two different positions or an argument and counterargument)? How clear and accurate are your explanations and the use of the relevant philosophical terms/concepts?”
Provides clear, accurate and full explanations of each philosophical position.
Provides mostly clear, accurate and full explanations of each philosophical position.
(a) Provides a clear and accurate explanation of one position and a poor explanation of the second position or (b) provides explanations for both positions that are unclear and/or incomplete and/or inaccurate.
2 (a) Fails to provide an explanation for one of the two theories or (b) provides poor explanations of both positions.
1 (a) Fails to provide an explanation for one of the two theories and (b) provides a poor explanation for the other position.
The essay was not on the topic or there was no essay at all
#2: Apply critical thinking skills by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of philosophical positions or theories and by writing a clear and coherent essay. As I grade, I will ask myself, “Did you explain the issue to be considered? How well do you analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the theories or positions? And how clear and coherent is your overall presentation?”
Gives coherent and consistent reasoning throughout the essay and a clear and comprehensive explanation of the issue to be considered. Also provides a coherent analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the positions at issue.
Uses generally coherent and consistent reasoning throughout the essay and a clear, but not necessarily comprehensive, explanation of the issue to be considered. Also provides a coherent analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the positions at issue.
Uses some coherent and consistent reasoning that either contains clear weakness in reasoning or fails to explain the issue to be considered. Also fai.

Insufficient responses indicate a very limited reading performance.
These responses have one of the following problems.

reasonable.
No idea is present. Sometimes the response contains only text evidence. At
other times there appears to be an idea; however, this idea cannot be
