Before I began this observation assignment for my SPED class I was nervous and a bit skeptical about how everything was going to be, because I have never observed an inclusion class. After my first day of observation I felt more confident about my career choice. In this reflection paper I will talk about the assignment and all the things I found interesting, important, and challenging. I will also talk about how I overcame the challenges, my misconceptions prior to observing, and how this field…

because teachers may put more of an emphasis on their subject specialism within the 3 sciences. This further removed this small scale research from any real world application, to combat this a larger survey should be conducted using a distribution method that creates a large pool of responders. By doing this the overall response would be more representative of UK secondary education on a whole. So while this research provides an insight into the usage of animations in the education of particle…

The dominant discourses in international relations pay little attention to the roles and experiences of women. However, half of all human experience comes from women and to properly analyse the realities of our world, international relations theory needs to account for gender and sex. Feminist perspectives in international relations can do much to ameliorate the failure of established international relations theories to account for half of the human population. Accounting for gender in…

The profession of nursing requires an individual to adhere to a set of ethics to guide deliberation and action while caring for patients. As stated by Burkhardt and Nathaniel, “codes of nursing ethics explicitly state that respect for persons is a cornerstone of professional ethics” (pg. 59). Along with respect for persons, there must also be principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, veracity, confidentiality, justice and fidelity followed when practicing as a professional nurse…

The common misconception that science and faith are in constant conflict, each hoping to disprove the other, is prevalent in the minds of so many people today that it has led to the belief that one must be wrong and the other right. Most people would be quick to side with science since they can see the visible signs that science bases its conclusions off of. However, science and faith are not in conflict and neither hopes to disprove the other. Rather science and Christian faith work together in…

done about the same topic. Then they present their problem statement in which they point out to how the previous research ignored the sex of the participants, and present how they plan to cover that in their research. After that, they present the method that they used in their study, and then they discuss the result of the study. They end their research by discussing their initial research goals, and then restating the…

1. a) A longitudinal study is a study approach where data of a person, or people, is gathered over a long period of time. For example, a Perry Preschool study (high/scope program) was conducted using the longitudinal approach. Researchers continuously added new information to their original files, using the original participants, for the length of 40 years. A cross-sectional study is a research approach where participants of differing ages are observed and compared, at a single point in time.…

The endless possibilities related to the enjoyable love feeling. The actions and feelings were grown through age. The child did not immediately understand what was going on in the body, but as the child watched and learned he or she saw the different feelings each individual professed. I believe it was the beauty of nature and life that provided these children with the learning ability they grasp as they grew. The theories Watson explained showed that children do not necessarily know everything…

When one thinks of a scholar, the first people that come to mind are mathematicians, scientists, literary analysts, and other traditionally “academic” professionalists. However, these professions are not the only scholarly careers that exist. “The Case for Working with Your Hands” by Matthew Crawford is an essay which argues against the wrong perception of mechanics and other “hands-on” professions. In his essay, Crawford describes the intellectual challenges of working in a “hands-on” field and…

former is to investigate a specific phenomenon in a meticulous time; the latter is to study over a longer period of changes and development (Saunders et al., 2007). According to Hussey and Hussey (1997), cross-sectional studies are associated with methods of positivism, and are designed to get findings of variables in different contexts but at the same time. The scholars further stated that cross-sectional studies are conducted primarily on the basis of the constraints of both time and resource;…
