    Time to Practice – Week Three

    Complete both Part A and Part B below.

    Part A

    1.  For the following research questions, create one null hypothesis, one directional research hypothesis, and one non-directional research hypothesis
      1. What are the effects of attention on out-of-seat classroom behavior?
      2. What is the relationship between the quality of a marriage and the quality of the spouses’ relationships with their siblings?
    1.  Provide one research hypothesis and an equation for each of the following topics:
      1. The sum of money paid on food among undergraduate students and undergraduate student-athletes.
      2. The effects of Drug A and Drug B on a disease.
      3. The time to finish a task in Method one and Method two.
    2. Why does the null hypothesis presume no relationship between variables?
    3. Create a research hypothesis tested using a one-tailed test and a research hypothesis tested using a two-tailed test
    4.  What does the critical value represent?
    5. Given the following information, would your decision be to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

    Setting the level of significance at .05 for decision making, provide an explanation for your conclusion.

    1. Why is it harder to find a significant outcome (all other things being equal) when the research hypothesis is being tested at the .01 rather than the .05 level of significance?
    2. Why should we think in terms of “failing to reject” the null rather than just accepting it?
    3. When is it appropriate to use the one-sample z test?

    Part B

    Complete the following questions. Be specific and provide examples when relevant.

    Cite any sources consistent with APA guidelines.

    Questions:

    • The average raw math achievement score for third graders at a Smith elementary school is 137; There are 100 third graders at Smith Elementary school. Third graders statewide score an average of 124 with a standard deviation of 7. Are the Smith third graders better at math than third graders throughout the state? Perform the correct statistical test, applying the eight steps of the hypothesis testing process as demonstrated on pp. 185–187 of Statistics for People Who (Think they) Hate Statistics.
    • What is a research question that you would like to answer? Write the null and research hypotheses. Would you use a one- or two-tailed test? Why?
    • What do we mean when we say that a statistical result is significant? What is the difference between a statistically significant and a meaningful result? Why is statistical significance important?
    • Describe a Type I error for the previous study that compares third graders’ math achievement. Describe a Type II error for that study.

     Choose an article from your annotated bibliography. Obtain faculty approval for your article to ensure that it is a peer-reviewed research article.

     Read the following:

     Background: The background statement answers the following questions: How do you know a real problem, situation, or opportunity will be studied? Does evidence indicate you have chosen an important problem, situation, or opportunity that deserves more attention? What evidence indicates that the problem, situation, or opportunity relates to an organizational management issue or clinical concern?

     Methodology: This part of a research study provides an overview of the scope of the study or how large, long, and comprehensive the study was. This is a brief overview explaining the gathering of the qualitative and quantitative data and where the data may be found. Implicit in this overview is the recognition by the researcher that both secondary data—document-based data, organizational material, library books, and journals—and primary data—empirical, qualitative, and quantitative data incorporated by a survey, experiment, and so on in a real-time fashion—was gathered to make the study comprehensive, fully researched, and as rigorous as a project must be within the scientific method of data planning, gathering, and analysis.

  • Conceptualizing and actualizing technology for music learning

    $15.00

    Abstract

    This article discusses conceptualizing and actualizing technology for music learning. While approaches to using technology in education have often been technocentric, music teachers must not only consider technology itself, but also curricular outcomes, pedagogy, and the teaching/learning context when designing learning experiences for students. The extent to which technology may be utilized can vary on a continuum from slight enhancement to complete transformation of the learning experience. Three recent and potentially transforming approaches to music learning that are made possible through technology are described.  It is important for music educators to consider the ramifications of new and developing technologies on creating, performing, listening to, and learning about music. Through current and emerging technologies, people of all ages and from all walks of life may be able to engage in meaningful musical experiences throughout their lives.

  • Racial and ethnic differences in different national contexts Outline

    $10.00

    The outline to focuses on the ethnic stratification and conflict that exists between the United States and South Africa.

    A sociologist must be able to analyze racial and ethnic differences in different national contexts. Race and ethnicity are constructed differently in different places and at different times. For example, in the United States, race is defined in a way such that two children with the same biological parents cannot possibly be of different races. In contrast, some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, define race in a way that would allow for siblings (born of the same parents) to be placed into different racial categories. In order to develop this skill, you will select a particular country and analyze the ethnic stratification within that society.

    For this assignment, you must focus on ethnic stratification and conflict, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination. In addition to a description of the selected society and its ethnic groups, include an analysis of similarities and differences in the society’s ethnic stratification system as compared to the United States.

    You may select one of the countries on the CIA World Factbook website for comparison to the United States in terms of the ethnic stratification system.

    The following information should be included in your Final Paper:

    • Title
    • Describe the selected country’s society, focusing on ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict.
    • Provide examples of the ethnic problems in that society, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination.
    • Discuss what the experts say about ethnic problems (or ethnic harmony) in the selected country’s society.
    • Compare the selected country’s society to society in the United States. Evaluate similarities and differences related to ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict, using specific examples gathered in your research.
    • Conclude with reflections and thoughts about ethnic groups and the societies in which we live.
    • References

    Academic research papers must meet certain standards of quality recognized by the academic community. What constitutes quality, academic research?

    • Primary (original) sources written by experts in the field of study.
    • Secondary sources supported by research in primary sources.
    • Credible sources (experts in the field; well-known theorists; sources which use primary and secondary sources to support claims).
    • Relevant research (materials are pertinent to the area of study).
    • In graduate work, the use of peer-reviewed journal articles (journal articles reviewed by recognized experts in the relevant field of study) is required.
    • Educational and government websites (those ending with a web URL suffix of .edu or .gov) may be appropriate in some cases but should be evaluated carefully.
