Citoprogram Summary

The Second Industrial Revolution affected the regions of the United States differently. Use this chart to compare the effects of the revolution on the North, South, West, and Midwest. In the chart, you will identify the political, social, economic, population, and transportation changes that the revolution brought to each region.

I plan to use the input and assistance of my principal, administration, and other colleagues to assist me with necessary portions of my action research project. I will develop a written plan of action further in the project, monitor the project reflective, and prepare a research summary research report of the results of my action research project addressing the effectiveness of the implementation of the PBIS program at Otter Creek Middle School. My plans are for my research to be implemented further along with my principal internship after I have completed the course as well.

All of these should be a part of every centers basis for their program. I do believe that both of these research studies are good one and I do use them at the center I am at and definitely use them in my class room every day. My center is small so I struggle with getting the help I need with some of these things listed above but I do my best to achieve them for the children and families in my class room every year.

This is a picture of my BIC card and is what I get as a Medi-Cal recipient, and the other picture is my new insurance card. I chose this picture for government health programs because the department of Health and Human Services are where they provide Medicare and Medicaid. The department of Health Care Services is where they administer Medi-Cal, which is what I have. It is the nations largest Medicaid program and many Californians have it. It pays for almost half of all births in California, and a little more than half of all the revenues in California hospitals. Medi-Cal, which is what I have offers essential health benefits similar to what Covered California offer. When I visit the doctors or is taken to the emergency room, my expenses are

Prepare a critical analysis of a quantitative study focusing on protection of human participants, data collection, data management and analysis, problem statement, and interpretation of findings. The quantitative research article can be from your previous literature review or a new peer-reviewed article.

Participatory action research is somewhat controversial. Define what it is and why it might be controversial. Why might a researcher use it? What concerns are there about this style of research, both academic and ethical? How might these be addressed?

In order for a researcher to conduct an action research analysis several factors must be determined. The specific purpose for the research, the components, and stakeholders. My action research project is to address a specific problem my agency has with employee retention within the patrol division during the past three years. In conducting a critical mass analysis it is important to determine who has influence and can assist with making suggestions on changes or give necessary data. Stringer (2007) states, "action research is a systematic approach to investigation

This course will provide me with the fundamental principles of research methodology and analytics as applied to conducting research in the health sciences. It covers the fundamentals of defining a research problem, designing a study, measuring variables, selecting a sample, analyzing data, and the development of research reports and presentations. It will develop my skills for analyzing research and assessment of health behaviors and health problems.

The purpose of IRB review is to assure that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in the research, hence, IRB approval must be obtained prior to conducting a research project. To accomplish this purpose, IRBs’ use a group process to review research protocols and related materials like informed consent

I performed this action research project at River Community College in West Michigan. The community college provided educational opportunities to the

Directing and implementing research this summer has increased my understanding of the time and effort it takes to effectively accomplish a desired study. This study has given me first-hand experience into the field of research, while increasing my interest in connecting research to a part of my future career. In social work and psychology, research is constantly incorporated to evaluate social norms, effective treatment plans, and case studies. Each research study is conducted differently, but seems to follow a similar pattern of tasks and goals in order to complete a study effectively. I found myself learning the most about the research process during the submission of my IRB. Even though I have taken advanced research classes at Grand Valley State University, I have not been required to submit an IRB for our study due to the minimal harm we had for the participants. For this study, Dr. Youker and myself spent over a month developing our proposal for the IRB and found ourselves constantly critiquing the requirements needed to ensure that our participants were safe during our study. The IRB process created a great amount of stress in my research process due to the constant editing, but it gave me an understanding for why ethics are in place to keep participants safe. This process allowed me to create guidelines that included exactly types of yoga participants would be participating, ways to prevent physical harm during classes, and reflect on the process needed to evaluate

 Were appropriate procedures used to safeguard the rights of study participants? Was the study subject to external review by an IRB/ethics review board?

Among the techniques learned in the course material (Tappen, 2011), the three techniques which could be considered vital in research are first “ well-designed plan for tracking participants” (p. 202), second, “conduct the study in an accessible and comfortable location” (p.202) and third “respect for cultural values, beliefs, and norms” (p.203).

Everyone has their own way of kicking back and relaxing, after a long week. For some it may be as simple as reading a book in a comfortable area, as for others, it can mean to go out with friends or to stay home with family. This advertisement simply shows how Ciroc can be a key factor for having a gracious time. In the ad there is a group of people seen in an elegant manner as they are dressed up in fancy outfits, smiling and admiring the moment. The picture is taken at an angle so that it seems that everyone is looking at each other while enjoying this type of vodka in martini glasses, which vodka is not usually served in. The visual is in black and white which brings out the classiness of the product. The color white is associated with purity

Ernest T. Stringer in Action Research Edition 4 demonstrates that community is not a place. It is a state of mind. He contends effective action research inquiry process must be participatory which seeks to establish a sense of community among participants through working together, establishing an understanding of each other’s experience and perspective to establish effective outcomes. This research seeks to change the social, organizational, and personal dynamics of research so that all who participate benefit from its outcomes.
