Violent crime in the United States peaked in the early 1990s. According to FBI figures, the violent crime rate dropped 51% between 1993 and 2018. However, six in ten Americans believe the current violent crime rate is higher than in previous years. Why do you believe this is so? Discuss two possible reasons. 2 or more references are okay.
Based on your experience, your learning, and the readings, what, exactly, is an appropriate curriculum and assessment for students in K-12 schools? Feel free to speak broadly here about skills, dispositions, and/or content, or to get much more specific with a grade, age, or type of school. Just make sure whatever you write is supported with evidence from our primary texts, the brief excerpts from the Schiro text, and the controversy articles. Be sure to cite at least four of those sources in your response.
It is appropriate this reading post comes at the end. Ultimately, the question of what skills and knowledge to teach is of primary importance to educators. Thus, I encourage you to refer back to ideas from across the semester as well. After all, we have covered aspects of the historical purposes of schooling, the philosophical implications of education, and the importance of promoting human flourishing for diverse students–among other concepts.
Based on your experience as well as the readings, what, exactly, is an appropriate curriculum for K-12 schools? You can speak broadly here about skills, dispositions, and/or content, or you are welcome to focus on the micro-level, responding with a specific grade, age, or type of school in mind. Whether you focus macro- or micro-level, make sure whatever you state is supported with evidence from at least 3 of our 5 primary texts (Shiro, Au, Park, ANAR, Hutt & Schneider) and 1 of our 2 controversy texts.
The research proposal:
Throughout this course, you will work toward completion of a research proposal in your field of study. Although you will not formally implement your project/proposal, you will complete the steps of the research process with the intent of conducting your research in the future.
Note that this proposal/project should follow the educational model of research. Projects should be focused on enacting change in nurse leadership and may not be directly correlated with patient care, and therefore, the guidelines for this project are not in PICOT format. However, if you do choose a topic that relates to patient care, please work with your instructor to formulate your research into PICOT format.
Scholarship
Your research proposal can be focused on enacting change, but it may also be theoretical in nature. The research proposal is a scholarly endeavor and must be of a quality appropriate for master’s level study. You may choose any topic relevant to nurse leadership and deemed suitable by your instructor.
Scholarship is expected in the creation of your culminating project. This includes attention to historical, legal, clinical, basic scientific, ethical, and other factors that are appropriate to the topic, context, and type of project. APA-formatted scholarly references and citations from peer-reviewed literature are required in this project.
The research will be explored through hypothetical data collection and analysis. The proposal should be written in research format, and it is expected that it will be ready for submission to a publication if so desired. It is not a requirement for your degree that your proposal be published.
All of the activities/assignments completed throughout this first culminating course will help you to put your final proposal together by the end of the second culminating experience course. During that course, you will also set up a professional profile on LinkedIn to showcase your skills in a professional portfolio format.
Although you do not have an official assignment due this week, it is important that you identify your topic by next week. Please use this week to brainstorm a list of research ideas for study.
Some ideas for proposals/projects and their subsequent requirements are presented in the table below. Keep in mind that your proposal will follow educational research format:
Research Project With Proposed Solution or Change (Nurse Leadership related)
Examples:
Improving a work flow process or minimizing adverse events with technology implementation (informatics)
The perceived benefit of staff education/training (e.g., emotional intelligence training for all staff or staff leaders)
Effects of integrating a community health fair to improve population health
Perform staffing and care delivery plan analysis (e.g., should the charge nurse have the same patient load?)
Creating a healthy work environment by implementing anti-bullying measures
Your proposal/project should include the following:
Problem identification
Purpose of the project and research question(s)
Literature review
Theoretical or conceptual framework
Predicted results, outcomes, and variables
Ethical considerations
Implications, assumptions, and limitations
Methodology for proposed research implementation with a foundation for data collection
Evaluation plan
Keep in mind that this is not intended to be implemented at this time; therefore, you will not actually collect data. You will make predictions and assumptions based on your research questions, your review of the literature, and your proposed methodology. Projects/proposals will vary based on the topic chosen. Please choose something relevant to your field of study and your career path with the intent to build on the project for full implementation at a later date.
Your proposal/project is due Week 7 of Session B. You will be working on drafts throughout the course. You must review your instructor’s feedback and edit your drafts before the final submission. Your proposal should be 30 to 40 pages in length by the end of Session B.
Topic Chosen unless you have better ideas we can do that instead:
Effects of Integrating a community health fair to improve population health
The paper due for tomorrow
This week, submit a 1–2 page problem identification and description of the project you have chosen for your culminating project that includes:
A cover page
A title and abstract: 150–200 words describing the project
A problem statement, problem identification, or purpose of the project: Provide a concise statement of the problem, need, or questions being investigated. Give a clear and explicit statement of the problem, including the target population and background information relative to the specific problem. Include 1–2 research questions that you will explore within your research.
A preliminary review of the literature: List, reference, and summarize 3–4 peer-reviewed sources that support your identified project and the need for change, the issue at hand, or the need for further research. Be sure that the data supports the need for investigation or change and that your problem is not one that has already been widely solved.
You will have opportunities to refine your problem statements and research questions throughout this course. Be sure to review your instructor’s feedback.
Rubric is attached for this weeks paper
Please write five analyses regarding the issue “power over women” from the following extract ONLY. Write a basic analysis from a quote or stage direction, and then link the analysis to the main issue “power over women”.
This assignment gives you an opportunity to consider the facts of a case potentially involving claims of negligence. You will have the opportunity to analyze the possible claims, as well as the potential defenses to any claim presented by the plaintiff. The facts of the case are described below.
Following an automobile accident, a 46-year-old man was brought to the hospital emergency department by an ambulance. The patient seemed to be alert, was able to answer questions, and claimed to be suffering from a great deal of pain. The physician administered 15 milligrams of morphine intravenously. The patient needed blood but refused a transfusion. After being observed in the emergency department for several hours, the patient was placed on a medical-surgical unit for observation. The following morning, he was unresponsive, and he was eventually pronounced dead. It was later discovered that he had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. The night of the accident, he had injected heroin and drank several shots of tequila and multiple cans of beer. He had not disclosed any of this to the doctors or nurses treating him. Several years later, his estate sued the physician, claiming medical malpractice.
Analyze the possible outcomes of the lawsuit under one of the following scenarios:
If death was the result of overdose
If death was the result of failure to administer blood
If death was the result of subdural hematoma
In your short paper, analyze the potential success of a claim for negligence under one of the three possible scenarios. Include a detailed discussion of each element of the negligence claim and why that element is met or not met. Discuss the possible defenses that could be reasonably asserted by the doctor to each claim, and why that defense might apply. Lastly, include a paragraph describing which, if any, claim you believe might be the most successful against the doctor and why.
To complete this assignment, review the Case Study Rubric document
With reference to one first world war, compare and contrast the political repercussions for two countries.
Please complete the essay with the two topic countries being Germany and Britain.
Analyze the social and structural consequences of a food dish that is meaningful to your family or a similarly close social group in which you participate. Make an argument about the social and structural consequences (positive and/or negative) that a specific dish and its consumption have for family members.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate that you are familiar with the material covered in this course and can apply your knowledge to this movie.
I want you to be specific. However, you should also discuss any general or central themes. When you mention a concept, fact, or theory you should include the page number (in parenthesis) from the textbook on which you found the information. If you are using information that was covered only in class, provide the date instead of a page number. If you don’t know the date, write “class discussion”
