WRITING CHAPTER III – DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION

Begin this chapter by briefly summarizing the nature of the problem to be studied. This summary of the problem should be only two or three paragraphs long. It will serve to refresh the reader’s memory and provide a focus or frame of reference to which the rest of the chapter can be related.

Statement of Objectives
The most important part of the Business Application Project is writing measurable (result-oriented) objectives. At least two objectives, but preferably four or five objectives, should be part of the study.
In writing the objectives, state each one in a separate paragraph. It would be advisable to identify
each objective (Objective One, Objective Two, etc.). Use free-standing side headings for this process.

To assist the reader in understanding what the objective is and why it was selected, a description and explanation should follow each one.
When stating each objective include:

What change will result? (Stated in observable and measurable terms.)
How much change is expected?
Who or what will change?
Where will the change occur?
When will the change occur? (time boundaries)

EXAMPLE:
Objective One
The first objective is a 50 percent reduction of errors committed by the clerical staff in the XYZ Department of the SKS Manufacturing Plant.
What? Reduction in the amount of errors How much? 50 percent
Who? Clerical staff
Where? XYZ Department
When? By January of next year
Remember, the explanation clarifying the reason for including the objective must come immediately following each objective.

Description of the Intervention
The intervention is a plan, or program, intended to correct the problem. Describe completely, clearly, and concisely, the intervention to be implemented. If it was a training program, describe the content of the program, the methods and materials used, the length of the program, and when and where the program was held.
If a procedures manual is to be developed, describe its contents, its length, how it was distributed, and when and where it was distributed. If a computerized inventory control program is developed, describe the input and the output, describe the type of data entered into the program, how the data are manipulated by the program, and what type of data or report are generated from the program. Also, indicate its implementation, complexity, and intended use. Since this is the core of the entire Business Application Project, the reader must clearly understand all the characteristics and procedures of the intervention. In short, by reading this section only, the reader will know what was designed and implemented. If you developed a different intervention (or strategy) for each objective, then organize this section by each objective.

One word of caution: limit the intervention to one main strategy if at all possible. The more complex the intervention, the more difficult it is to specify what really caused the change.

WRITING CHAPTER IV- THE EVALUATION PLAN

General Requirements
The methodology used to determine whether the project met its objectives is described in this chapter. Included are questionnaires, collection methods, and complete methodology descriptions. Remember that the majority of your data will be obtained from the review of literature. An empirical review in research methodology for this project is when the researcher reviews the information and theories currently available concerning the topic and the historical
background of the topic for example, the review of literature. First, it is to demonstrate thorough understanding of the field/topic in which he/she is conducting research. Second, it is to show that the problem being studied has or has not been conducted before in the way proposed by the researcher.
Some of the descriptions to be included are:
The evaluation design used by others – name or describe the research design used.
The size of the population and how it was selected and organized into groups.
If any demographic data on the population were collected, describe the data and how they were used.
When and where the data were obtained and the manner in which the data were obtained.
Special precautions which were taken to remove bias in the data.
The manner in which the data were analyzed. If a statistical test was used, indicate which one, and what level of significance was chosen in performing the test.
If a questionnaire was developed1, or other data collection instruments used, include complete copies of them in the appendix. However, learners should describe and explain the data collection instruments in the body of the text of this chapter, in order to give validity to the instrumentation and the study. After describing the instruments, write in parentheses where readers can find them.
For example:
The data in Sample Questionnaire X indicates (Please refer to Appendix B to see a copy of the Questionnaire used.)

Finally, discuss any limitations in the evaluation plan. These may be variables that cannot be controlled by the research design or flaws or biases in the instruments.
The following examples are intended to illustrate how to organize this chapter. These are not exclusive. Use any format that organizes the information clearly and completely.

EXAMPLE A:
Objective Analysis Design
In this segment, list each objective with a description of how the evaluation design will determine if the objective is met. Questions, collection of data, pre- and post-analysis, etc. may be used to accomplish the task. Each objective may have a different method of collecting proof to determine if the objective was met. The number of segments in the chapter is dependent upon the number of objectives. Remember, however, results are not included in this chapter.
Data Analysis
This section indicates what data analysis and calculations are important to the research. Each calculation should be noted with an explanation of why it was selected.
Limitations of the Data Collection Plan
The weaknesses of the design are established in this part. It also includes what variables may hinder clear answers and what other factors could not be controlled. Every experiment or test has elements that cannot be controlled, and should be noted.

EXAMPLE B:
Evaluation Design
It is best to describe the plan in detail; this provides the reader with a complete overview of the design and how it will be administered.
Data Collection Plan
In this section, weave into the discussion of the data collection, the objectives reached by such a collection. If applicable discuss the pretest and post-test collections that the researcher utilized and how the statistically data was collected and how it will help you meet your objectives. It is best that you select a collection process plan that is not complex. In its analysis, each objective will be closely monitored to see if it was met. Be as complete as possible. As aconsequence, the reader will know the plan in detail and how to apply it to all of the objectives.
Limitations of the Data Collection Plan
This section denotes the weaknesses of the design, what variables may hinder clear answers, and what other factors could not be controlled. Every experiment has elements which cannot be controlled, and they should be noted.
Start each chapter with an opening paragraph that explains what will be found in that chapter. Furthermore, close each chapter with a summary paragraph specifying how this particular chapter is integrated into the entire Business Application Project.

Critical Perspectives in Urban Social Work with African Americans

Purpose

This assignment assesses students ability to synthesize theory, critique dominant practice models, and apply culturally grounded frameworks to urban social work practice with African Americans.

Assignment Instructions

Write a 23 page paper (APA format) that integrates concepts from the assigned readings to address the following components:

Section I: Theoretical Foundations (Analysis)

Using the readings by Mazama (Afrocentric paradigm)and Littlefield and/or Few (Black Feminist/Womanist perspectives):

• Explain the core assumptions of these frameworks.
• Analyze how they center African American history, culture, spirituality, gender, and collective identity.
• Discuss how these perspectives redefine helping, healing, and competence in urban social work.

Section II: Race, Identity, and Structural Racism (Evaluation)

Drawing on Boyd-Franklin, Alcntara et al., and related readings:

• Evaluate how racism, racial identity development, and racialized trauma impact African American individuals and families in urban environments.
• Critically assess limitations of traditional clinical or policy approaches that fail to address structural and historical realities.
• Discuss how ignoring these dynamics can lead to misdiagnosis, ineffective intervention, or ethical harm.

Section III: Practice Application (Application)

Select one urban social work practice area (e.g., mental health, family therapy, child welfare, schools, housing, or criminal justice):

• Apply at least two theoretical perspectives from the readings to describe how you would:
  • Conduct assessment
  • Engage clients and communities
  • Design interventions
• Identify specific practice strategies that reflect cultural humility, anti-racist practice, and social justice.
• Explain how your approach aligns with NASW values and ethical responsibilities.

Conclusion

Briefly reflect on how these critical perspectives reshape your understanding of your role as a social worker in urban African American communities.

assignment 2 CRITICAL RACE ASSIGNMENT

One Crazy Summer(Garcia-Williams, 2010) is a short novel written with teens and young adults in mind. This novel tells the story of three pre-teen sisters who travel from Brooklyn to Oakland in 1968, at the height of the Black Power Movement to reunite with their mother who has allegedly abandoned them. Throughout the story there is tension and symbolic representation around nommo, including the mothers refusal to speak her youngest daughters given name, since this was not the name she gave to her daughter. Additional incidents around self-definition arise as there is a confrontation around the terms colored girl or black. The book serves as a case study for understanding family in the context of environment, and self in the context of family and community.

The Critical Race Assignment, requires students to connect the course readings, book context, and research and historical documents. You will utilize this context to;

1) Talk about your self-described racial identity, using Cross(1978) Five Stages of African American Identity, and Boyd-Franklin(2003) Black Families in Therapy: Understanding the African American Experience.

2) Interview a member of your family or community to provide additional first-hand insight about the community climate of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement. What do they remember about the political climate at the national and/or local community level during this time period? How did the social policies, customs, or traditions impact their aspirations and interpretation of the family in community? In other words, what critical racial tenants impacted the functioning of families?

3) Examine gender roles and identity, as well as race and power dynamics. Discuss the social issues around employment, education, economics, politics, and the incidents of community unrest.

The paper is submitted in APA format with appropriate references. The paper should be between 3-5 pages.

Assignment #4: APA Formatting

Upload your assignment to canvas. Please be sure to upload the document with your answers in it. Double check your submission, accidently submitting a blank assignment is not a valid excuse. Please write your responses in a different color than black (any color is fine!).

Below is a paragraph with a few APA style errors in it. Your job is to try to spot as many errors as you can!

Akbulut et all, (2008) look at how common e-dishonesty is among Turkish university students and determine the causes behind it. The impact of peer pressure emphasizes the necessity of a supportive peer environment that encourages moral behavior, rather than academic misconduct (Gonzalez and others, 2010). The significance of comprehending student attitudes and motivations about e-dishonesty is emphasized by this factor analysis study. In short, students are more likely to cheat if they believe their peers are cheating as well (Johnson, Beckett, and Roselyn, 2022). As outlined by Smith and Thomas, 2014, policymakers and administrators may identify common types of academic dishonesty and create focused policies and programs that effectively address this issue.

Find at least three APA style errors in the paragraph above, and provide a correction for that error.

1. Error 1:

i.Correction:

1. Error 2:

i.Correction:

1. Error 3:

i.Correction:

2. Now, create an APA style reference (like you would write in a reference page) for the article you read in your assignment # 3 (Manipulations of Emotional Context Shape Moral Judgment) Note that the DOI is not printed on the version of the article that you read, but the correct doi for that article is:

• Correct the following three references type in the correct format below each incorrect reference. Please write your corrected reference in a different color than black (any color is fine!).

4. Lets say you wanted to cite the Goldstein article from question 3 above. Pretend that you wrote the following sentence about the paper, now give me the correct parenthetical in-text citation for this journal article (remember, parenthetical references go at the end of the sentence in parentheses)

Researchers explain how students make decisions with respect to academic integrity

5. Now, lets say you wanted to cite the MacGregor article from question 3 above. Pretend that you wrote the following sentence about the paper, now give me the correct in-text citation within the sentence (not a parenthetical reference, write the reference in the actual sentence. You may edit the sentence accordingly).

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) can cause people to experience undesirable feelings

6. Now, pretend that you were including the following direct quote from a research paper by Alison M. Mayfield, Samantha S. Strickland, and Parker Frances in 2016. The journal article is titled, Alcohol expectancies and predicted drinking behavior, and you found the quote on page 203.

Subjects were told that the experiment was about alcohol’s influence on preferred learning modes (visual and verbal)

7. Create a reference page for the three references you corrected in question 3. Imagine that they are the only three articles that you cited in your paper. Make sure you include the corrected version of the references.

Komunikasi adalah proses penyampaian pesan dari satu pihak ke pihak lain dengan tujuan mencapai pemahaman bersama. Melalui komunikasi, manusia dapat menyampaikan ide, perasaan, dan informasi secara efektif, baik secara lisan, tulisan, maupun nonverbal. Komunikasi memegang peran penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari karena membantu membangun hubungan, menyelesaikan masalah, dan mendukung kerja sama. Tanpa komunikasi yang baik, interaksi sosial dan aktivitas bersama akan sulit berjalan dengan lancar.
