A Significant Experience Analysis

A significant experience in my life, which required me to interact with someone outside of my own social group, was working with disabled children. I first began working with disabled children in high school. This experience gave me a new perspective on how disabled children interface with the world; and how developing a meaningful relationship with them can be positive for both of us. The class was an Autism Spectrum Disorder Link program, which I participated in for two years. After my first year

The most significant challenge I have faced is public speaking. When I came to the U.S, I faired with talking to other people using English. My first day at school, I was faired when my first “American teacher” wanted me to introduce myself. I was hiding behind my aunty back and looking at the teacher like a creepy person. When my aunty has to went home and leave me there, I was running to a group of students that I thought they’re Vietnamese like me. But I ended up they’re not Vietnamese, they’re

Interpretation, and Implications Research Question One was answered through a Spearman rs analysis and a Pearson r analysis of rankings of scores on the SAI survey and the TELL survey. Rankings were included for each of the seven professional learning standards assessed through the SAI and for each of the 15 items on the professional learning portion of the TELL survey. Results of both analyses indicated that there was a significant correlation between a majority of the TELL survey questions and the SAI items

Exposure to domestic violence can affect a child regardless of their age or gender. A meta-analysis conducted by Evans et al. (2008) found that across all studies, gender did not interact with outcomes to a statically significant extent. This indicates that both female and male children who experience domestic violence have similar psychological adjustment levels. Evans et al. (2008) findings differ from several studies which suggest that exposure to domestic violence may affect boys and girls differently

adolescence. Results Preliminary analysis Hypothesis 1 An independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare the prosocial bystander responses in the forgive and no-forgive conditions. There was not a significant difference in the scores for forgive (M= 3.72, SD= 0.84) and no-forgive (M= 3.72, SD= 0.83) conditions; t(146)= 0.01, p = .995. These results suggest that the forgiveness manipulation

children hear, are directly involved, or experience the aftermath of physical or sexual assault that occurs between their caregivers (Evans et al., 2008). Researchers account for children who may not directly witness the domestic violence. Holt, Buckley & Whelan (2008) conducted a review of the literature to examine if children who witness domestic violence while it is occurring have similar outcomes when compared to children who hear domestic violence or experience the aftereffects of it (e.g. bruises

Instrumentation The following instruments were utilized within the study: semi-structured interviews consisting of closed and open-ended questions and NVivo. NVivo is a software program that provides rigorous analysis of qualitative data, thus allowing the researcher to obtain in-depth knowledge pertaining to the responses of each participant. The interview protocol consisted of face-to-face interviews within an Applewood elementary school office and during a predetermined time provided by the

the “Lg10” function under the “Transform/Compute Variable” pull down menu feature of IBM’s Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Once the variables were transformed, we ran a correlation analysis between the operationalized independent variables, moderating variables, control variables and the dependent variable to check for collinearity and to begin to identify and evaluate non-causal associations and strengths of relationships between variables. We also applied Variance Inflation Factors

educational setting, and apply them to a real world experience. Additionally, a practicum allows students to experience working within an organizational structure, building interpersonal communication skills, and learning from experience. The ability to apply public health theory and knowledge, while gaining professional experience is an integral part in the course of meeting educational and career goals. In the following analysis, I will discuss how my experience applies to the aforementioned practicum benefits

ABSTRACT This study will examine the ways that adults construct their own attachment experiences and relationships along and how others influence these attachments and their development. The chosen method for data collection was interviews as they provide full and detailed data for thematic analysis.
