A social interaction study was conducted within the Tyndale Christian Junior School that involved teaching two focus groups of five students how to make masquerade masks. The groups included both males and females within the ages of four to six. Upon the completion of this study, I learnt that while I communicate with people I change the way that I speak depending on who I am conversing with. When I spoke to the younger children my tone sounded much higher and I spoke at a slower and clearer…

Meeting My Professors At the begging of every college students career they get the same pice of advice at one point or another. Meet with your professors. This year I did just that. I emailed every one of my professors asking them if there was a time that we could meet to discuss what I can do to succeed in their class. Most of them gave the same advice but they were all different in how they went about it. The first meeting I had was with my Foundations Art Studio professor. Her name is Ms…

The child that I tested for the PLS-5 Test was a four-year-old girl named Katelyn. Katelyn did pretty well for her chronological age, and she tested into the age equivalence bracket of four to seven years old. She is a very bright girl, although there are some weaker areas that she struggled with. Her focus on the test also varied throughout the test. At the beginning of the test, she was focused on the test and answered the questions quickly, but towards the end of the test session, she was…

In order to create a nurturing environment, Kaleigh and I took the student outside of the classroom and conducted the interview sitting in the hallway. The student had mentioned how she wanted to sit in the hall, so we chose an environment where she felt comfortable. The Spinnelli article highlighted how many times, standardized assessments are invalid because, “ELLs frequently have little experience taking tests and become anxious, confused, or have difficulty controlling their attention”…

right. The trees will drop their leaves” ending the conversation. During the observation, teachers asked a mix of closed-ended and open-ended questions. For example, during an activity a teacher asked, “What is this?” The child answers in a one word response, “Wagon.” Find opportunities to ask questions that invite a more elaborate response, such as, “What is happening in the picture?” and “Why is he pulling a wagon?” By asking open-ended questions, the teacher requires students to put…

Summary of Interface problems discovered First of all, at the beginning of each scenario, we were not provided with the task description. As a result, we had no choice but to “blindly” follow the steps in the scenario. In addition, since we did not have a clear goal in mind for every task, we were not able to answer most of the questions until we have “completed” one walkthrough. The scenarios themselves also lack certain details. For example, in the login step, username and password were not…

On October 12, 2016 I drove to Wittier, CA to meet the Galagar family in order to conduct my second family assessment. In order to prepare for this meeting I utilized Wright and Leahey (2013) Nurses and Families: A guide to Family Assessment and Interventions textbook in order to guide me in discussion to continue to get to know the Galager family, who continue to be guarded and reluctant to answer questions. My question guide, Family Sense of Coherence (FSOC) Scale and Questionnaire, as well as…

I came up with one of the first 12 questions which probably now to my memory was “What are your goals for the future?”. I voiced my concerns over asking her if she was married or have children because she might have gone through a bad divorce thus had her children taken away from her. Plus, I also told them with that I feel like that is not what you want to ask someone you don’t know never met. I also had the question of “Are you from Florida” changed to “Are you originally from Florida”…

My first question asked the student, “How long have you attended Concord University? (Do not have to be in succession)”. This question allows us to see if the time that the students are here is correlated to the student’s opinions of the institution. Question two states, “Do you reside on or off campus?” This allows us to see if students are happier when living on or off campus. With question four I used a skip logic so that if you answered on campus you would move to the question, “Which…
