How To Evaluate The Research Process

As Australia is a free country and a democracy, we as citizens own the right for free speech and if a group of people are feeling mistreated they can raise their concerns. Such groups like hospitality and retail workers who depend on incentives from business such as penalty rates, have voiced their concerns over possible future legislations cutting back Sunday penalty rates to regular Saturday penalty rates (Gareth , H 2015). According to Anna Pha (2016) Nurses and retail workers alike rely on such things as penalty rates in order for them to just pay their rent. The recent standing on penalty rates by the government has sent a ripple of panic through the communities of those receiving and counting on penalty. Interviews on the “The Prime Minister's gearing up to fight the election on industrial relations but a crucial penalty rates decision could land in the middle of his campaign ABC NEWS SA” placed both the society in which are in favour of keeping penalty rates and those business owners who are lobbying for them to be abolished supporting the productivity commission’s findings (Sydney Morning Herald 2015). Parliament along with the fair work commission, must take the two parties of Australian workers and business owners that are fighting on either side of the argument, into consideration. The morals of workers who are quoted as saying

In this assignment, I am going to be evaluating my own performance in the interview, providing strengths and areas for improvement. On top of that, providing information how to develop the areas for improvement. Also, this assignment will contain the assessment of legislations and regulations, also how legislations impact businesses in recruitment and selection processes. Finally, it contains retention processes.

It is often difficult to understand the decision making of people that lack the mental stability of average people. Many people may argue that mental illness has no relation to crime. Sherry Glied, and Richard G. Frank search for an explanation of violent acts and how they can be linked to some clues of psychological abnormalities. In the academic article, "Mental Illness and Violence: Lessons from the Evidence," Glied and Frank discuss the reason for which a person may become violent, whether it deals with mental health or has no relation at all. Meanwhile, Jeffrey H, Nathan, and others, conducted experiments regarding mental health problems and the seriousness of criminal issues. In, "Attribution and Serious Mental Illness: Understanding Multiple Perspectives and Ethno Cultural factors," these scholars focused on the idea that mental illness and violence are set off by other attributes, such as stress, anger and family problems. Both of these articles deal with the aspects of mental illness and the possible links to violence. In further discussion, readers will be able to understand the studies with different approaches, such as the type of audience they attract. Also, the scholars present evidence to prove the credibility of their studies.

The study used statistical data that was significant to the accuracy of the results. Collecting data at different ages and conditions improved the accuracy of the information. The BSID and Chi squared test measures used to determine the norms of preterm infants were appropriate. The study provided data on mortality rates and handicaps of the children in the study.

Research is a tool used to evaluate or develop a certain aspect. Within early years research, Roberts-Holmes (2011) comments that it can develop and improve current professional practice. Once a topic has been chosen, Mac Naughton et al (2010) explain that the researcher will use relevant literature that will lead to identifying an issue or question. Through the design research process, appropriate methods will be chosen to gather data. The researcher must ensure the chosen methods will gather valuable information which is ethical. This essay will give a brief overview of the research process and highlight the main principles within ethics before evaluating the use of observations, questionnaires and interviews within early-years settings.

Process evaluation aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a process or a system, which is in this case a shelter for homeless young women. The results of a process evaluation is used to derive policies for continuous process improvement. In this assignment, I assume that the evaluation is more customer-oriented, and the result of the evaluation is going to be used towards providing better quality of services for the homeless women living in the shelter.

To begin my research stage of refining my broad topic I undertook an extensive online search of what alternative testing was available, allowing me to gain a comprehensive knowledge on my once unfamiliar topic. I was able to used a number of credible websites including government and educational sites. PETA, while being a very bias website, was highly effective in building the foundation of my research project. For example, helping me draw my focus onto just four of alternatives being, In Silico Toxicology, In Vitro Toxicology, Micro-dosing and human simulations. This website also included in-depth explanations of both In Vitro testing and human simulations, further expanding my knowledge in the science behind

While this research project was taking place, a method(s) of research had to be chosen. Multiple options were considered such as online research, questioners, and interviews. It was found that the questionnaires would not help the research because the information that was needed could not be extrapolated out of a questionnaire. Secondly, interview(s) were ruled out of the question because there was no one that could be found and contacted that was creditable. There was, however, an exception to do with the interview later on in the research. This was to do with the required help on some of the complicated math faced in the project. This was accomplished with the knowledge of one of the schools mathematics

As advancements are made in science and technology that relates to the care of patients, it is critical for nurses to be aware of the treatments that have been proven to be evidence-based. Systematic research reviews (SRR) are considered to have the highest ranking or level of evidence falling under level 1 evidence for reliability, validity, and least amount of error (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p.607). The aim of this paper is to critique the chosen SRR related to core temperature obtainment in children, relevance of the research problem to nursing practice, rigor of the research found in the SRR to include levels of evidence and designs of included studies, the clarity of findings, summarized findings in the SRR, and the implications for practice.

Assess the strengths and limitations of each of the research designs presented in Week 2and 3.

As the aspiring trainer, I would like to learn how to measure my learning outcomes both quantitatively and qualitatively. There are myriad strategies for conducting formative and summative assessments around the corner. However, I should be able to identify and implement the appropriate assessment method suitable for learners with different abilities, gender, age and professional background; Linear with the aim and objective of the programme and the learning outcomes expected.

As with any research, there are limitations to take into account with this study. The study took place over a month long span, so it was not possible to follow up with those residents who participated to see how they progressed through the shelter program. The study also did not include children as participants, which is a direction to consider in the future since there are a significant number of children who experience homelessness. A limitation that brings up questions is that there was more participation among the men and they were more forthcoming than were the women. The reason for this could be that the researcher was a white male, so there could have been a degree of discomfort in divulging information with the women who may have had sensitive histories pertaining to their past that they did not wish to share. If a female were to have interviewed the women, there may have been more participation and the interviews may have had more depth. Research studies have shown that the researcher’s demographics can affect the quality and quantity of the data when investigating a phenomenon experienced by the opposite gender or a different race. The men seemed to be empowered and open about sharing their past history as if the interview session was an opportunity to vent or absolve themselves of wrongdoing, whereas the women were more reserved and preferred not to disclose their histories. Another possibility for the men being more forthcoming than the

The total number of participants in which the survey was conducted was a sample size of 1126 Psyc 1F90 students. In the study it included 267 male participants, 849 female participants, 4 transgender participants, and 6 participants who did not specify their sex. Out of the 1126 students who participated in the study, the students had a mean age of 19.59 years.

First research question – interview. The interview for the first research question occurs after the pre-screening call, at a time set by the researcher and the participant. It will start with an overview explaining the purpose of the research, affirming the time commitment, answering questions the participants have, assuring the participants that their input will be kept confidential and confirming to them that they can leave at any point without repercussions.

Evidence shows that people are influenced by social norms and what others are doing (UK Department of Government, 2013). People get swayed by actions of individuals or groups or institutions who they believe that they can be comparable to them. Benchmarking Kanymoon University against BU and AU public universities, which are among the top three public universities in Singland, seeks to identify and improve cost efficiency in Kanymoon University to enable the university continue running its operations even without government funding.
