  • Ignite Presentation

    By completing this Ignite presentation assignment, students will develop skills in concise and impactful communication, effectively conveying complex social welfare issues to diverse audiences. Students will enhance their ability to identify and articulate unmet service needs within specific populations, while also honing their capacity to propose and advocate for policy changes aimed at improving conditions and opportunities. Furthermore, engaging in this assignment fosters proficiency in integrating social work values such as cultural responsiveness and social justice advocacy into strategic policy initiatives.

    Instructions: Select ONE population of interest to use in an ignite presentation and video recording:

    Complete the following:

    Develop an Ignite presentation in which you discuss an identified service need of your selected population of interest. An Ignite presentation is a PowerPoint presentation in which 20 slides auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total of 5 minutes, while the presenter speaks. Typically, each slide contains a visual image with minimal words.

    The presenter(s) speaks for approximately 13 seconds per slide. Presentations are meant to ignite the audience on a subject (in this case, on a social welfare policy issue), for the purpose of expanding awareness, deepening thought, building social empathy, and inviting social action and social change.

    Use your selected population of interest and address the following in your ignite presentation:

    Ignite Presentation Outline

    • Describe an unmet service need of your identified target population.
    • Explain a vision of change to improve conditions or opportunities for the target population.
    • Propose a viable policy change strategy to improve conditions or opportunities, to better meet the identified service needs of the target population.
    • Explain how the change initiative would incorporate social work values such as cultural responsiveness or advancement of social justice.

    Next, use Zoom or another digital recording software program to create a video of yourself delivering your Ignite presentation, based on the generic outline. Your video needs to show the slides and should show yourself, or at least have your voice presenting along with the slides. Place the video link into the last of your presentation slides.

  • Technology use in collaborative learning for middle school s…

    For my research, I want to explore how using technology to help middle school students work together can affect their interest and success in science classes. My main question is: How does using technology for group activities influence student engagement and their grades in middle school science? This idea is based on a learning theory called social constructivism. This theory explains that students learn best when they interact and work with others. Vygotsky, a famous psychologist, believed that social tools like technology can help students think better and learn more effectively. When students use computers, tablets, or online tools to share ideas and work on projects together, they can understand science concepts more clearly and remember them longer. Using technology in group activities can make science lessons more interesting and fun. Instead of just listening to lectures, students can participate in virtual labs, share ideas through online discussions, or work on science projects together even if they are not in the same place. This kind of active participation keeps students engaged and motivated to learn. It also helps them develop important skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which are useful beyond school. I am interested in this topic because I have seen many middle school students lose interest when science lessons are only lectures or worksheets. I believe that using technology to make learning more interactive can help students enjoy science more and do better in their classes. I want to find ways teachers can use technology to create more engaging and effective science lessons. By understanding how technology and collaboration work together, I hope to help improve science education for middle school students and make learning more exciting for everyone.

  • Evidence-based practice in healthcare

    Follow these directions: I. Post answers to the following: Share the area of practice that is of interest to you and amenable for a potential evidence-based improvement project. Identify a real or potential clinical/health care problem. Briefly describe the problem. The problem can be real or hypothetical. Briefly describe what outcomes you could use to identify the problem (INTERNAL DATA) and then how you would measure these outcomes to determine if there was improvement. Provide an applicable reference (i.e., an article that discusses your outcome(s) and a measurement tool). Formulate a searchable, answerable clinical question (PICOT [or a PPCO questions see the Waldrop article]) about your identified problem and to guide a potential improvement project. Write your clinical question in the PICOT (or PPCO) format that will yield the most relevant and best evidence relative to the problem. Don’t forget about the “T,” time. Think about this as the time you are evaluating the effect of the intervention on the patient, not the time that you intend to collect data for all patients. For instance, if you are comparing blood pressure medicine effects for Drug A and guided imagery, then the comparison time frame would be the duration of action of the drug. For example: “in patients age 60+ with a diagnosis of hypertension, does the administration of Drug A compared to the use of guided imagery, produce a lower systolic blood pressure for 12hours?” You might be collecting data for 12 months, but your time frame for each patient will be shorter, even if you look at BP measurements every day for 12 months. Identify keywords (at least five) from your PICOT (or PPCO) question to use in a future electronic database search. These five keywords MUST be derived from the National Library of Medicine’s Medical Subject Headings (MESH) terms. &feature=youtu.be Please follow these instructions: Include at least three references (one of which may from an assigned textbook). Please note that you should be using at least some empirical literature to support your project proposal – i.e., articles that discuss an EBP project and include the methods and results from this project (and not an SLR, scoping review, or guidelines’ article that may review a number of other studies). Please use headings for the various components of your main discussion board post. In other words, I want to clearly see that you have responded to each question/component within the instructions.
  • standardizing measurement scores

    Testing and Measurements Week 9: Standardizing Measurement Scores Information about test norms allows you to equate scores across different tests of the same construct and lets you compare individuals to each other. Once you have the mean and standard deviation of a score, you can calculate an individuals z-score. Z-scores, also known as standard scores, tell you how many standard deviations away from the mean an individual is. Scores that are two standard deviations away from the mean represent the most extreme 5% of the population and often are considered to be unusual enough to warrant special consideration, such as a clinical diagnosis. For instance, IQ scores that are two standard deviations above the mean (130 or greater) are considered in a gifted range, and scores two standard deviations below the mean (70 or lower) are considered intellectually deficient. Scores on measures of depression that are two standard deviations above the mean often are considered to represent clinical depression. T-scores are another kind of standard score; the MMPI is the best-known example of a test that uses T-scores. (Note that T-scores have nothing to do with t-tests.) Z-scores have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1; T-scores have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Thus, the average score on a test would be assigned a T-score of 50 and a z-score of zero. A score that was one standard deviation below average would be assigned a T-score of 40 and a z-score of -1. For this Assignment, you will practice converting raw test scores into more meaningful standardized scores. To prepare for this Assignment: Download the Week 9 Assignment Template (Word document)Download Week 9 Assignment Template (Word document) Download the SPSS Data file Ocean Week 9.savDownload SPSS Data file Ocean Week 9.sav Read the assigned pages in the SPSS Instructions on how to transform raw scores into standardized scores. Use the Week 9 Assignment Template to properly organize, format, and present your standardized scores. Submit a 2-page paper (not including references) that addresses the following: Using the OCEAN SPSS data file, convert the OCEAN measures to T-scores, percentile scores, and z-scores. Then, split the file based on gender and compute the means and standard deviations for the male and female respondents in the sample, and summarize these in an APA Style table. Finally, compute a t-test to compare the T-scores based on gender. Summarize these analyses in an APA Style table. Then, explain insights you gained from your analyses about the impact and interpretation of transformed scores.
