Curitiba and many other Global South cities are tackling a problem that has been prevalent for many years, municipal solid waste management. Many of these cities have attempted to replicate the centralized systems used in the U.S. or Japan, but have failed due to the differing needs of the Global South. Consequently, an alternative solution has come about, and it is scavenging. Scavenging provides economic, social and environmental benefits while continuing to be more cost efficient than other…

When beginning to research, there is going to be three things that one wants to keep in mind so that they have some organization to their method. We have talked about the data collection process, which is how and can you actually gather the data, the instrument development, which is to put the data into context, and the third process which is going to be discussed in this chapter is the sampling process, which is a representative population on a broader scale. The third process known as the…

Data Collection The purpose of this data collection is to answer the principle research question, “Are UAS a practical alternative to monitor air quality and levels of pollution?” and use that data to accept or reject the hypotheses. In planning for data collection, P. Leedy, & J. Ormrod, authors of Practical research: Planning and design (2016) have established five essential questions that need to be answered: 1. What data will be collected? 2. Where are the data located? 3. How will the…

Attackers of testing believe it can lead to a number of unwanted effects on students mainly when used on aptitude and achievement tests, these include the following criticisms: For some, taking a test can act as a motivator to do better, but for others it can do the exact opposite. Tests can create anxiety and based on the severity can cause a problem with a students test performance. There are a number of ways to help reduce such stress, like preparing for the test using practice exercises or…

Criterion A: Investigating My goal was to create a family tree in my extended family for as far as my grandparents remembered. But once I realized that the tree wasn 't going to turn out as big as I thought it would be I decided to change my topic to something that I loved-food! I changed my topic to the history of pasta. This opened up doors that lead to new things that I could research and a much more vast ground for me to start my project on. I researched things like all the different types…

collegiate success. An issue that still remains huge is that the exam is considered a “norm-referenced” exam, where the authors support a “criterion-referenced” test which measures how much students know, and not where they rank in comparison to others. Atkinson and Geiser agree that the American education system would improve if the tests students are accompanied to- criterion-referenced- continue through college. There are, however, a few factors holding the nation back from this change many…

In the United States, it is required by law that every child must attend school. This can be in the form of public or private schooling, along with homeschooling. If a parent knowingly does not enroll their child in school the consequences can be costly and can potentially result in jail time. Based on this information, it is very apparent that education is highly valued within the country. U.S. citizens are constantly looking for ways to improve their lives and education is essential to their…

Standardized Testing in Schools Standardized testing has been an inevitable part of life for countless Americans, making them question the validity of their life choices since the third grade. When taking standardized tests, one encounters some obvious drawbacks. Any student who has been forced to take one of the hundreds that exist can recount the tales of stress and feelings of inadequacy that linger after every test taken. Standardized testing does not benefit students because it objectifies…

Although there is an exuberant amount of research disproving that standardized tests are trustworthy and reliable, there are still people who stand behind it for multiple reasons. One reason as to why there are people and colleges who heavily trust the results of these scores is because so many kids take it, and according to statistical measures, the more people who participate in something, whether it be a survey or a test, the more accurate the yielded results are. Statistics states that in…
