EXAMPLE:

Whitlow, V.M. & Jones, G.W. (2013). The best is yet to come: According to Houston, Texas citizens of Latina origin. Journal of Reality, 22, 18-25.

This study recruited 125 Kindergarten, Latina immigrants from Mexico to an “English as a Second Language” program in Houston, Texas schools during the time period 2014 through the fall of 2016. Students were immersed in English throughout the school day, but only in non-critical subjects such as physical education, art and music so that their grades would not suffer while learning a second language. Students were provided instruction in both English and in Spanish in critical subjects such as math, social studies and science. Pre and post tests were conducted to see if students enrolled in the course learned English faster than Mexican immigrants who were not enrolled in the program. Results showed that those in the program learned English the fastest though there were some limitations of the study. Limitation were that researchers did not consider possible confounds such as some of the students in the program living with relatives that spoke both English and Spanish in the home and that many of the children received practice in English via spending time with American friends. Future studies should include male and female students of varying grade levels, not just those in kindergarten. Also, students with English speaking friends should be excluded from participation. These changes will improve the generalizability of the findings. Home visits should also be conducted to make sure that the students were receiving English instruction only at school.

Theories of Motivation

This paper will act as an introduction to a longer paper (Lit Review on Self Determination Theory)

The paper needs to:
1) Describe what CONTENT and PROCESS Theories are AND Differentiate between the two.
2) Distill the basic salient points from the following theories: CONTENT THEORIES: Maslow’s theory of the Hierarchy of Needs, Alderfer’s ERG Theory, McClelland’s Achievement Motivation Theory, Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory, PROCESS THEORIES: Skinner’s Reinforcement Theory, Adam’s Equity Theory of Motivation, Vrooms Expectancy Theory, Locke’s Goal-Setting Theory.

EX: There are two important types of motivation theory: content and process. Content models of motivation focus on what people need in their lives (i.e. what motivates them). Process theories look at the psychological and behavioral processes that affect and individual’s motivation.

Describe the development of children’s racial self and how our understanding of race is influenced by socialization processes. Identify how may parents help children develop a better understanding of their racial self/ identity.

Race and Self-Development in Children

Introduction

Young children develop an understanding of self between 15 and 24 months. This starts with self-awareness, the realization that we are separate from others. Children begin to refer to themselves by name, recognize themselves in the mirror and start to attach qualities to themselves. As children get older the sense of self is not only based on the individual characteristics of the person but also based on the groups we belong to. This leads to the gradual development of an identity.
