Critical Mass Analysis Unit 2 Deena Rothwell Kaplan University GM505 Action Research and Consulting Skills Professor Gunzelman October 26 ,2010 Critical Mass Analysis 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

Therefore, the researchers question was aligned with the design, method, and how information was collected and analyzed. Furthermore, prior to conducting the research and collecting any data from future participants the researchers’ research proposal was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Leedy & Ormrod (2016), states that prior to any data or interview with future participants the research proposal must be submitted for approval. With that said, approval was granted for the researchers to conduct the study and proceed with the analysis.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 “This legislation grew out of the fact that by 1998 roughly ten million American children had access to the Internet, and at the same time, studies indicated that children were unable to understand the potential effect of revealing their personal information online and parent failed to monitor their children’s use of the Internet.” (Koby)

Taking Action for School Improvement 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.

Doing this Citoprogram requirement has been a learning experience for me. It provided me with all the rules and guidelines that I need to be follow exactly to write my action research project. For me it stand out that it gives you the reasons for having the federal, state,

After reviewing the posts about NBS in the different states I was really surprised how the implementation of NBS varies across the states.

The soccer ball dropped, lifeless and alone on the field. Emily is a sixteen-year-old soccer phenom that had recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her dream to play collegiate soccer was tarnished by the dire news. Although medical knowledge has progressed to the point that this form of cancer

Level 1 “The laws relating to child protection is complex, polices are specific and the guidelines are numerous. (Shulman, 2012, p. 328). Being a student social worker I will need to be aware of the legalisation that will guide my practice. As always the NISCC Code of Conduct is the base for the way I conduct my practice. The Children’s Order (NI) 1995 Article 3 tells us that the welfare of the child is paramount. This piece of legalisation sets out the powers and duties the agency has in relation to Children in Need. A child must be seen within 24 hours of a referral being made, as a social worker I have a duty to investigate, this is set out in Article 66 of The Children’s Order (NI) 1995. It may be beneficial to look at the four parts of the helping cycle which are Assessment, Care Planning, Implementation and Review. (Taylor and Devine 2004) this cycle may provide a firm foundation for the social work process. “Each assessment covers three key areas relating to the development of the child, the capacities of parents and caregivers to respond to needs and the impact of wider family and environmental factors” (Parker & Bradley, 2010) This can be linked to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model of how a child’s environment affects their upbringing. UNOCINI is an assessment tool used to assess children’s needs. The Department of Health hopes that the UNOCINI framework will be used as a tool to help identify the needs of children at an early stage, so they can intervene before

The IRB members consist of a variety of people who are apart of the community who are able to review research. The members vary in what they majored in and also their background in research. All of the members of the review board have impressive resumes and it

IRB is an administrative body established by UNT to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects enrolled in research. They review the research if it is conducted using any UNT employees or students as subjects, using UNT’s non-public information to identify or contact human research subjects, and research conducted by UNT employee or student in connection with their UNT responsibilities or studies. The IRB has the right to approve or disapprove all the modifications needed for research. It reviews all IRB applications and approves the research if criteria are met. IRB will review the applications for completeness, minimizing risks to subjects, ensuring voluntary participation, verifying the selection of subjects is equitable,

28.07 Parent Involvement What can you do? Parental consent is required, and must be in writing, for all evaluations. A parent may revoke consent at any time. A parent has the right to observe any program that is proposed for their child. A parent may also choose to discontinue special education at any point.

The first is the informed consent and self determination on behalf of the participants of the research study. Participants must be willing to participate in the research and aware of of any benefits and costs. It is required that all participants are notified of the reasoning of the research, the risks within the conduction of the research and how collected data will be used. Usually plain statements will be given, in plain language that can be understood by the participants outlining what there involvement requires and the aims of the research. Following, participants will be required to sign a consent document outlining that they are aware of the details of the research and agree on

In accordance with the Children’s Act No. 38 of 2005, children may only be tested for HIV under two circumstances. One of which is if it is in the child’s best interest and if legal consent has been given. The other being if a healthcare worker or another person may have contracted HIV from being exposed to the child’s body fluids, in conditions like these the child’s HIV status is needed and so can be tested. A child over the age of 12 years may give consent for HIV testing. Consent may also be given by a child under the age of 12 if he or she has sufficient maturity. A parent, caregiver or the provincial head of the Department of Social Development, may give consent for HIV testing for children who lack sufficient maturity of for those under

Setting (describe Breastfeeding education course and at home over the phone Human Rights Protection IRB standards were met - Participants were asked to sign consent form at the beginning of the class indicating their willingness to participate in the evaluation. All participants were given a card to mail in if they did not want to be contacted for the follow-up telephone calls.

Emerging Design When considering my inquiry, qualitative research is the approach usually associated with the constructivist worldview (Creswell, 2014; Mertens, 2015). For my research this will mean recording, analyzing and uncovering the deeper meaning and significance of inclusion in the French immersion context and how this translates into best practices. If I examine the purpose of action research as described by Hendricks (2013) as “for practitioners to investigate and improve their practice” (p.3) then my research could also fit into this approach. I have chosen not to involve participants other than myself and will conduct an independent study using data from existing studies and I may also choose to include personal reflections on my own practice. This would allow a thorough investigation of my topic and allow me to present, analyze and discuss information and existing ideas in the both the qualitative and quantitative literature from the patterns that emerge.
