Part-2-Case Study

 Sara, a third-year adjunct faculty member at a major university, looked at her course evaluations from students for the term just ending and shook her head in disbelief: What could have prompted the very negative comment one student made? She remembered vividly the day in question. It was the first day of class for a new school year and a new semester. Since this was a freshman-level class, students were also new to campus. New classes routinely require introductions, and Sara tried to have an interesting icebreaker. She had the students do a “mix it up” exercise where they had to stand up, move around the room, shake hands with and greet every other person in the class. The room buzzed with excitement as the new students greeted each other, and it seemed to be quite a success. The rest of the semester went as expected, and students continued to network with each other. Now, at the end of that term, Sara was looking at a student’s comment on the semester end course evaluation and was shocked. The student rated her “D” (the lowest possible) and commented: “The instructor was very insensitive and unaware. She even expected us to shake hands during introductions.” Thinking about that first day of class, Sara did not recall that any of the students participated reluctantly. No one seemed to hesitate, or to avoid the activity, or to ask to be exempt from the introductions. She wondered why the student did not immediately indicate any discomfort. Why did this student not ask for an alternative way to participate? Looking back, Sara tried to think through how students who were reluctant to “touch” anyone else could participate. While she thought of the handshake as a form of friendly interaction, clearly some students did not see things that way. How could she re-design the exercise so that students from outside the main culture could fully participate but not have to do anything that would make the giver or the receiver of the handshake uncomfortable? She also thought about the idea that religious beliefs were not the only reason for a reluctance to touch others. Perhaps students were germphobic, had skin sensitivities, or were adverse to having others touch them for health reasons. She asked herself what other inclusive instructions could have been provided, such as, “If anyone does not want to shake hands, let’s work out an alternative now, before we start.” This would have provided an option before the activity started. Also, in a low-key, positive and friendly way, any concerned student needed to be prepared to suggest an alternative action, such as, “I am not able to shake hands, but I would be very happy to do this [provide alternative].” No big loud “ugh..” no moaning or groaning, but a maturely presented alternative. It was now apparent that, for the entire semester, the student had harbored a grudge about the handshake introductions.

Discussion:

  1. What responsibility should Sara take for her introduction exercise to be inclusive and respect other cultural customs outside the host culture’s practices? (2.5 Marks)
  2. What recommendations you have for the student who did not want to shake hands? (2.5 Marks)

[40 marks] Question 3:
An EPC company requires an information system to track the professional development (PD) of its engineering and management team members. The personal information of each member needs to be stored (i.e., name, address, and contact information). A member is required to accumulate at least 100 PDHs (professional development hours) each year. PDHs are acquired through different types of activities. Formal activities include conferences, workshops, meetings, short courses, or meetings that target PD training. Each hour spent on any of these activities is equivalent to 1 PDH. Members need to file annually the number of PDHs they accumulated together with the type of activity they engaged in to acquire the PDH, its title, location, time, and the host organization.
The company delivers different activities to support the PD of its members. These activities include one-day workshops, multi-day conferences, monthly half-day training courses, and a weekly one-hour PD meeting. The company needs to keep track of the subject, location, date, and attendees of each of these programs. The information system should automatically update the PDH numbers for each member that attends a company-delivered PD activity.
A member involved in delivering any of the above activities as a trainer in the company or outside the company also accumulates PDHs. Each hour spent as a trainer is equivalent to 2 PDHs. Members also may accumulate PDH through volunteering for community services and charitable organizations. A volunteer hour is equivalent to 1 PDH to a maximum of 20 PDH per year.
The information system should allow company management to track the history of PDH for each member over the years, to get a list of members that are below, above, or within a user-defined number or range of PDH, or to track PDH hours per activity type for one or all members. It also should allow every member to enter his/her PD activities outside the company and to check his/her PDH history.

Develop a database that delivers the above requirements (at minimum) with a user-friendly interface for different potential users. Assume and expand on any requirements that are necessary but not fully scoped in the above description.

Include in your report the ERD for the database, the SQL statements used for any queries in the system, and a mini user manual of how to use the system.

SPSS Assignment #3

What you will need:

  • sav
  • sav
  • Answer-Sheet document, saved as Last_First_SPSS3
    • Top-left corner: your name, uta email address, [due date], SPSS #3
  • The PSYC 2300 manual helps a lot…
    • … Otherwise, be prepared to Google “how to ____ in SPSS” several times.

 

HELPFUL TIPS:

  • BE VERY CAREFUL TO PRECISELY FOLLOW THE APA-FORMATTING DEMONSTRATED IN THE PPT SLIDES AND THE 2300 SPSS MANUAL! Points will be deducted for seemingly minor issues such as correct usage of italics, sp a cing, and what specific details are reported for each analysis. Some examples: p should always be written in lowercase italics… put one space on each side of an + or < sign: p = .002 instead of p=.002….
  • If you don’t understand what the words you’re typing mean, you are probably typing something that doesn’t make sense, and points will be deducted. Read what you wrote. Make sure it makes sense. Get feedback during class or during stat-tutor club.
  • For this entire assignment, regardless of the research hypothesis, report the two-sided/two-tailed p – the one they give you by default… The two-tailed p is more conservative – less prone to type-1 error – so nobody will ever complain if you report a two-tailed p for a one-tailed test, even if a one-tailed test is technically correct, given the research hypothesis.

 

 

 

 

  1. In the dataset sav, go to Variable View… expand the Labels column as wide as it will go. This column shows you exactly what participants were asked in this survey.

    Based on reading the variable labels in variable view…

… What do you think was the purpose of this survey?

… Is there a certain difference you think Dr. Adams was hoping to find between selfesteem_t1 (the first question) and selfesteem_t2 (the last question)?

In as few words as possible, in your Answer-Sheet Document, explain your answers to these two questions.

  1. To test whether there was a difference between selfesteem_t1 and selfesteem_t2, run a repeated measures t-test (see manual pp. 36-38 + repeated-measures lecture slides).
    1. Screenshot/Paste the output into your Answer-Sheet Document
    2. summarize the result in APA format.
    3. Forget about APA format etc… Based on the result of this test, what would you conclude about the effect of [_? 🤔 ?_]  on self-esteem? In plain language – like you’d explain it to Grandma – what general conclusion would you draw from this study? Use as few words as possible to make your point. It’s possible to earn full points on 2c with a single sentence!

 

 

  1. Adams wonders if the overall boost to participants’ self-esteem in this survey was dependent on whether they committed to calling a loved one immediately after class on Monday. To explore this possibility, “split the file” by willyoucall (manual p. 19). NOTE: When you turn on “split the file by willyoucall,” nothing will happen immediately. Now that the file is split, however, you will receive two separate chunks of output for any analyses you run: one chunk of output for participants who responded “okay, yes, I will call…” and another chunk for those who responded “nah…”
    1. With split-file by willyoucall turned on, run the same exact analysis as in #2. Paste the two different chunks of output into your document, and explain the results in APA format.
      HINT: Your write-up should take this form:
      Among participants who did not commit to calling a loved one after class, __[t-test results in APA format]
      By contrast, among participants who committed to calling a loved one after class, __[t-test results in APA format]__      .”
    2. Explain 3a in plain language, like you’d explain it to Grandma. How would you explain the effect of committing to actually call a loved one on self-esteem?

    ***HINT: Within the correlation dialog box, if you right-click on the list of variables on the left, you can choose Display Variable Names and Sort Alphabetically – this makes it much easier to find specific variables (e.g., happiness_1).

    Paste the output into your AS Document and report your results in APA format.

  2. Choose two other variables for which you would hypothesize a significant correlation. Run a bivariate correlation analysis, screenshot/paste the output, and report the results in APA format. NOTE: for a correlation analysis, you should NOT use categorical variables; use variables with a range of numerical values.
  3. Choose five other variables that you think might be correlated with each other. Add them all to a bivariate correlation analysis (only these new 5; not the prior two). Paste the correlation matrix into your document and report the results of three of these correlations in APA format. For any significant correlations, also provide a simple, one-sentence explanation of the relationship: In other words Variable1 increases/decreases, Variable 2 tends to increase/decrease.

CASE STUDY

Be able to implement and monitor compliance with health, safety and risk management requirements in health and social care or children and young people’s settings

Explain the actions to take when health, safety and risk management, procedures and practices are not being complied with.

If there is ever any doubt that health and safety 9 risk management procedures and practices are not being adhered to then immediate action is required. Within my workplace we have a responsible individual who ensures that risk assessments are up to date and factual’ however’ the staff and management team as a whole have an overall responsibility for reporting any areas or issues which may jeopardise the safety and wellbeing of individuals. The usual course of action taken when a health and safety issue is highlighted is to contact the company maintenance team who will address any issues without delay and ensure that necessary steps are taken to amend the problem. There are however at times’ instances whereby a staff member may not be following basic procedures or may be taking unnecessary risks in relation to health and safety issues: This again is dealt with swiftly and without delay’ usually through formal supervision or immediate action by the management team. at times a simple refresher training is all that is required to ensure that a repeat of the same action does not occur again.i+f non2compliance is down to a service user’ then advice and support is offered and clear expectations and guidelines are explained’ to prevent further occurrences and information is logged and recorded and shared with any necessary third parties.
