utilize statistics in their everyday lives. Business lives and personal lives. I work in the healthcare field and during this class and my research, I have learned just how important it is for the hospitals and larger businesses. Researchers employ scientific methods to gather data on human population samples. The health care industry benefits from knowing consumer market characteristics such as age, sex, race, income and disabilities. These "demographic" statistics can predict the types of…

The next article that will be critically examined comes from an academic who focuses her work on qualitative research methodology in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology. Kathryn Roulston’s article titled Considering Quality in Qualitative Interviewing looks at how the quality of interviews conducted by people in the field affect the outcome of the work that follows the research process. As well, she also illustrates the flack that researchers receive sometimes from their…

Instruments The survey method are often used in a number of ways, they were usually used in health research. But through the years, the use of survey method are now applied by different types of studies. The survey method is generally refer to the selection of a fairly large population of participants, who happen to be a part of the ‘population of interest’. This ‘population of interest’ is a group in a population that fits the standards of the researchers. Next, would be…

Critical question: I wonder what happens when I try improving lesson pacing by first incorporating effective transitions and procedures in the classroom, second checking for student understanding, third using effective lesson planning, and fourth assuring that students are engaged? Contextual factors: I conducted this action research project in a Title I school, where I was an intern. I am at the school two days a week all day. The school I am at currently has 82.16% free and reduced lunch. The…

winner, English chemist, Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood, once said, “[Science is] an imaginative adventure of the mind seeking truth in a world of mystery.” Dr. Ashley Murray and Dr. Sarah Parcak, two scientists featured in National Geographic Education’s “Real-World Geography” segment, both fulfill Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood’s idea of science as they both work to improve the world by using imaginative solutions to solve real-world mysteries. Dr. Ashley Murray discovers the solution to use human…

Ignorance Is Not Bliss Knowledge is the characteristic people obtained through millennia of trial and error that has allowed humans to become the dominant species and control the Earth. People’s natural curiosity initiated science and technological movements in the early years of humankind's history that have given us new understandings and perspectives of the world. However, before humans had time to move their focus from basic survival to more intellectual endeavors, they were ignorant…

Part A: The Science of Persuasion The tutorials with the most useful information are the one written by Cialdini in his two tutorials, Cialdini 2012, Principles of persuasion, and Cialdini 2001, Harnessing the science of persuasion. The author asserts that influencing other people in any workplace is not through magic or luck; instead, it involves more of science (Cialdini 2001). Again, he was able to know that the abilities of individuals to identify and understand the factor affecting their…

After reading Reuss-Ianni’s chapter 3, I decided to investigate the effects of neighborhood context and police aggressiveness. To support this argument, I plan to use textbook along with a peer-reviewed article. I am also interested in learning more about the code of silence covered briefly in Burns (2013), chapter 3 and to accomplish this, I will be doing an internet-based research on how the code of silence diminishes police integrity. Topic #1 Neighborhood Context Effects and Police…

The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field.” This statement is very accurate when you look at some of the research findings that have been concluded incorrect after publication. Goldstein discusses theory laden as a problem when identifying something as a fact or not because all facts…

The Anxiety and Uncertainty Management Theory is an important theory to keep in mind when considering intercultural communication, especially when one finds themself in a totally new and different place than what they are used to. I spent a summer going to school in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in this place, I went through many of the reactions mentioned in the discussion of the Anxiety and Uncertainty Theory. In consideration of my time there, I thought it appropriate to apply this theory to my…
