A Quantitative Research Design Critique The research problem that I have selected in Unit 1 is pressure ulcers. There have been research and studies conducted in order to shed light on this problem. There are research studies that aim to prevent pressure ulcers from happening by implementing interventions. Aside from that, as healthcare professionals, we have to determine the validity of the study. This paper aims to review the research conducted by Bergstrom et al. (2013) in determining the…
As a teacher, I face the challenge of consistently providing students with relevant, instructive feedback to further their motivation and growth. Meaningful feedback such as this is an essential part of a successful classroom (Marzano, 2010). Teachers must also give students the tools to form a positive outlook towards learning with the hope that students will become lifelong learners. Motivation to learn can be a key component in this process of creating lifelong learners and individuals…
Relationship between the classroom learning environment and student goal orientation. There are many patterns that links classroom structure and the differences in the goals of a student. Performance and learning goals is one of the set models. There are students who set performances goals and are focus on striving to complete those goals. Learning goals are set to increase the common core of what they should know. Evaluating the Significance of the Problem The checklist for evaluating the…

Non parametric tests It is a hypothesis test which does not need population distribution. For instance there are numerous hypothesis tests which depend upon assumptions that population must be normally distributed along with the parameters. Main advantages of non- parametric tests are that they do not rely on assumptions, so they can be easily used where population is non-normal. One thing to be kept in mind, that these tests may have few assumptions related to the data. They might not be…
Define the problem/research question The purpose of the study was to look at how African-American students experience racial microaggression, and how it impacts them. The study also looks at how African-American students react to the microaggression, and how it affects campus climate. Relevant topic The topic is important. African-American students are faced with a lot of challenges when it comes to completing their education. Several believe that they are not welcomed at some…
40 or higher on the scale is required to required to meet the SED criteria. The sampling method used was non-probability sampling, in which every element has an unknown and usually different chance of selection. Non-probability sampling is not representative of the population, no generalizations can be made, only speculations that what hold true for the sample also does for the population. Non-probability sampling was appropriate for the research question because they were not randomly…
“bible-based” group. Different groups use different tactics and this will be more apparent when there is diversity in the sample. Due to the sensitive nature of the study a sampling technique to acquire the participants is needed that would reflect this. Particularly, it is essential to use a sampling technique like the snowball sampling method (explained in the purpose section). Each participant would be…
