Socio-cultural consciousness

Socio-cultural consciousness is a teacher’s own way of thinking and behaving that are influenced by race, ethnicity, social class, and language. As teachers, we must critically examine our own socio-cultural identities and biases in the context of the inequalities culturally diverse segments of society experience. Based on this module/week’s readings and study, create a personal belief statement through a proverb or quote that reflects your belief as a culturally responsive teacher. Discuss how this belief statement reflects your thinking and behaving in regards to socio-cultural consciousness.

Research methods

The details and structure of your research reports:
Both reports must contain all of the following sections and sub–headings:

Title
Your title should reflect what the experiment is investigating. More specifically, it should give an indication of what your independent variable was and what your dependent variable was in as few words as possible. For example: “The effects of sugar intake on self–reported happiness”.

Introduction
In this section, you should very briefly introduce the topic area and explain why it is an important area to conduct research into. You should then go on to discuss the methods and findings of 3 existing research studies from the same topic area. You should ideally consider your concepts of interest in the context of a relevant psychological theory. Next, you should explain how your own study builds upon (generates new knowledge or replicates) the previous studies that you discussed earlier. Finally, you should state the aim and hypothesis of your study. Your aim should be a general summary of what you are trying to discover. Conversely, your hypothesis should be a precise prediction of the effect that you expect your independent variable would have on your dependent variable, if you were to actually run the
study.(10 marks per report, 20 marks in total)

Methods
In this section, you should include contain enough information to allow someone reading your report to conduct a full and accurate replication of your experiment. You should also introduce the most important ethical and validity issues that are relevant to your true experiment/quasi–experiment. This section should be written in the past tense (as though you have already completed the studies). Use the following subsections within your methods section:

1) Design
Start by stating the type of experimental design used (e.g. repeated measures, independent groups or matched pairs) and very briefly explain why that design was the most appropriate one for your study. Next, state what your independent variable was and what the levels (conditions) of the independent variable were. Then, state what your dependent variable was and how it was operationalised. You should also outline the control and random variables that have been considered in your study. For your true experiment, you must use an experimental design, so that you can determine
cause and effect. Therefore, you must use an independent groups design with random allocation, a matched–pairs design with random allocation or a repeated measures design. For your quasi–experiment, participants will be assigned to groups, based on criteria that is not random.

2) Participants
This section should cover how many participants you collected data from, what the range, mean and standard deviation of their ages were, what the gender distribution of the sample was and what population you sampled from (you can make these up, as you do not have to collect any data for this assignment). You should also outline your sampling technique (e.g. opportunity sampling), You should also include your inclusion and exclusion criteria for participation in the study.

3) Materials
In this section, you will need to use full paragraphs (not lists!) to provide detailed descriptions of the make, model and setup variables of each material, for each experiment. If you are using questionnaires or similar materials, then you will need to explain how many questions were asked, which specific ones were used, on what topics and (ideally) to provide an example question. If you are using a computer task, then what stimuli were included in the task and how many trials did the participant have to complete?

4) Procedure
In this section, you should outline the timings of each experiment. Therefore, you should explain when and where consent was obtained, when and where the participant engaged with each stage of the task and when and where each dependent variable was recorded, for both experiments. You should also explain when and where the debriefing was conducted. If you used deception in your studies, then state how the deception was maintained during each
stage of the study and when the true intentions of the study were revealed to the participants.

Corrective Action and Monitoring

Complete Section 4 – Corrective Action and Monitoring of the risk management plan by evaluating the organizational and departmental tolerance for risk, identifying risk mitigation approaches, describing a strategy for corrective risk management, and assessing a corrective plan for your chosen case study or work project.

Determine which specific techniques are more applicable to risk evaluation and assessment process that, positively, impact the project.

 Risk Analysis and Assessment

Complete Section 3 – Risk Analysis and Assessment, of the risk management plan by developing a risk matrix that will be used to assess the probability of risks for your chosen case study or work project.

A project manager must determine which specific techniques are more applicable to risk evaluation and assessment process that, positively, impact the project. First, the project manager evaluates and assesses the risks, and then determines how to quantify or qualify each risk.

Finally, prioritize the risk to determine the most effective mitigation strategy. The key is to be able to compare the different types of techniques and determine their advantages and disadvantages based on evaluation and assessment.

Insights may come from anywhere. The following anecdote might not necessarily be true, but the message rings true nonetheless: A tall truck tried to drive under a bridge and managed to wedge itself underneath. It was thoroughly stuck.

As adults pondered costly and time-consuming major modifications to either the bridge or the truck, a child who was among the onlookers said, “Hey, why don’t you just let some of the air out of the tires?”

You never know who will have a solution to your problem. It is not always the experts who come up with the best ideas.

What things do you notice that differ between them? Does the style of one appeal to you more than the others? What is the utility of each type of article (i.e., what role do they each play in the scientific literature)?

Scientific Research

A key element of the scientific process is determining what research studies have already been completed, what the findings were, and what remains to be discovered. This process guides the formation of new hypotheses and the design of new experiments to test them. One (of many) online databases for searching the psychological literature is PsycINFO. In this assignment, you will spend some time learning about PsycINFO and using it to find research articles on a topic that interests you.

First, spend some time reading the examples and tips and watch the PsycINFO Video Tutorials on this psychology research guide about finding articles from the GGU Library. Then choose a topic that interests you (hint: in Forum 2 this week you described some phenomena or behaviors that would most interest you as a research psychologist—maybe go with one of those topics). Now search PsycINFO for several research studies on that topic. I’d like you to find three studies total, including one Empirical Study, one Clinical Case Study, and one Systematic Review (you’ll find these under the “Methodology” tab in PsychINFO). For each article, write up a brief description of the main findings and key takeaways and provide an APA style bibliographic reference for the article. Then compare and contrast the types of articles. What things do you notice that differ between them? Does the style of one appeal to you more than the others? What is the utility of each type of article (i.e., what role do they each play in the scientific literature)?

Alzheimer’s Disease 76-year-old Iranian Male BACKGROUND Mr. Akkad is a 76 year old Iranian male who is brought to your office by his eldest son for “strange behavior.” Mr. Akkad was seen by his family physician who ruled out any organic basis for Mr. Akkad’s behavior. All laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests (including CT-scan of the head) were normal. According to his son, he has been demonstrating some strange thoughts and behaviors for the past two years, but things seem to be getting worse. Per the client’s son, the family noticed that Mr. Akkad’s personality began to change a few years ago. He began to lose interest in religious activities with the family and became more “critical” of everyone. They also noticed that things he used to take seriously had become a source of “amusement” and “ridicule.” Over the course of the past two years, the family has noticed that Mr. Akkad has been forgetting things. His son also reports that sometimes he has difficult “finding the right
words” in a conversation and then will shift to an entirely different line of conversation. SUBJECTIVE During the clinical interview, Mr. Akkad is pleasant, cooperative and seems to enjoy speaking with you. You notice some confabulation during various aspects of memory testing, so the PMHNP performs a Mini-Mental State Exam. Mr. Akkad scores 18 out of 30 with primary deficits in orientation, registration, attention & calculation, and recall. The score suggests moderate dementia. MENTAL STATUS EXAM Mr. Akkad is 76 year old Iranian male who is cooperative with today’s clinical interview. His eye contact is poor. Speech is clear, coherent, but tangential at times. He makes no unusual motor movements and demonstrates no tic. Selfreported mood is euthymic. Affect however is restricted. He denies visual or auditory hallucinations. No delusional or paranoid thought processes noted. He is alert and oriented to person, partially oriented to place, but is disoriented to time and event [he reports that he thought he was coming to lunch but “wound up here”- referring to your office, at which point he begins to laugh]. Insight and judgment are impaired. Impulse control is also impaired as evidenced by Mr. Akkad’s standing up during the clinical interview and walking towards the door. When the PMHNP asked where he was going, he stated that he did not know. Mr. Akkad denies suicidal or homicidal ideation. Diagnosis: Major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease (presumptive) RESOURCES § Folstein, M. F., Folstein, S. E., & McHugh, P. R. (2002). Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
