Research Question:Is the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS)/ Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) better at identifying kids in a self-contained or inclusive setting?Do a brief search for relevant literature to see what is already known about that question…how could your questions contribute to the field?

Introduction:  How did the author(s) introduce the content area? How was the topic situated within a larger view of early childhood education? What is the purpose? Was the need for this research discussed? (i.e. Did the author(s) build a case for a need for this research?) If so, what was the reasoning? Were related studies discussed in terms of the present research? What are the research questions?Methods: What is the setting? Who are the participants? What are the data sources? How was the data collected? How was the data analyzed?Findings: What were the findings from this study? How were the findings supported? (examples from transcripts, statistical evidence, etc…)Discussion: How were the findings interpreted? How were the findings discussed in terms of the research questions? How were the findings discussed in terms of the larger problem within early childhood education? Did the explanation of the findings make sense to you?Limitations: What were the limitations stated by the author(s)?  Did you find any other limitations existed?Future directions: What were the future directions stated by the author? Would you use this research for any other future research not mentioned?Reflection: What did you think of this article? Do you believe there was a need for this research within the field of early childhood education?  Were there any foundational components missing? If you could change portions of this research, how would you change it?

The task:Illustrate your understanding of what is needed to succeed at university and how study techniques can be used to your best advantage. Base your analysis on three of the study skills discussed in class.The structure:1. Which three study skills that you have learned about in this module do you find most interesting? – Describe these three study skills.2. How confident do you currently feel about them? – Rate your confidence level (1-10).3. Which three study skills described in the first section do you most need to improve andwhy?4. How will you develop the three study skills that you have identified for improvement? – Put

This assignment will require you to do independent research of the relevant published literature.A/B+ assignments typically cite 10-20 primary sources. APA format is required for in-text citations and the reference page.For this assignment, answer both of the following questions.Research has shown that, on average, males develop schizophrenia at a younger age and have poorer outcomes compared to females who develop schizophrenia.a) Describe the biological factors that might account for these sex differences in schizophrenia.b) Provide a summary of the evidence to support the role of each biological factor in the development of sex differences in onset and/or outcomes in schizophrenia.(maximum of 1000 words for question 1)2. Propose a research study which would advance our knowledge of the topic. Outline the design of this study and the research methods you would use to investigate a biological factor that may cause sex differences in schizophrenia to occur. (maximum of 500 words)Total word count: 1500 words (excluding any in-text citations, reference list and title page).Please read the instruction carefully and ensure the paper is written totally depend on the requirements. Further introduction is in the document in the additional materials, and the rubric of the paper is there too. Please please please read them and follow the requirements!!!

This is a Graduate Higher PaperWrite two short essays in response to the following questions.  Remember to define all jargon and use examples to clearly illustrate their meaning.1. Design an applied behavioral analysis for a classroom problem. Include group consequences, contingency contracts, token economies, and functional behavioral analyses. Make sure to use the jargon from the textbook to help clearly illustrate their meaning.2. Is the digital computer an appropriate model for the human information processing system? Give reasons why the fit is appropriate and why it is not. Consider some of the implications of the victory of “Deep Blue” (a computer chess master) over the world champion Garry Kasparov.

decide how to best measure the behavior that you have chosen. For example, how much time, in minutes, do you study per day?  How much mountain dew, in ounces, do you drink daily?  In your writing assignment, discuss how you think you could measure the behavior.  Your professor will let you know if this way would be effective for your project.  Once that is approved, you will begin to measure the behavior every day for two weeks WITHOUT making any changes to the behavior.  This will provide you with a baseline for your behavior so you know where you are before you change things.  You will be measuring your baseline during weeks 3 and 4 of this class.In addition to how you will measure your behavior, discuss at least 5 positive reinforcers that would be effective for you (or your child, if you chose that option) personally.  Remember that a positive reinforcer is something that you add in your environment that increases your behaviors after you meet a goal.  For instance, you could add things like: candy, watching a movie, visiting with a friend, or walking (assuming you like all these things).Begin taking baseline measurements daily on the behavior that you have chosen to change. Remember you are not making changes this week, but just determining where you are with this behavior.  You are taking the control group measurements (baseline).  It is difficult to measure yourself without being aware of the need to make changes, but do try to continue on as you have been.  We will make changes in two weeks.Discuss at least five negative reinforcers that would be effective for you personally.  Remember that a negative reinforcement is something that is positive for you and increases your behavior; this is easy to confuse with punishment.  A negative reinforcer is something that you dislike that is removed from your environment when you meet a goal.  For example, you could remove things like: washing the dishes, sit-ups to country music, nagging from my spouse (assuming you dislike all these things).

How does the education varies in U.S, China, and India.

OverviewThis assignment is the first part of a three-assignment series on the development of an e-Learning course:Week 6, Proposed Course for Development. For this paper, you’ll be outlining key development areas: course description, course goals, target learner, learning outcomes, learning theory, and other areas described in the instructions.Week 8, Designing and Developing and E-Learning Course. This assignment allows you to revise your submission and add to the course development outline. It will also involve the development of the first three weeks of your course in a learning management system.Week 10, Adding to the E-Learning Course. You will write a paper for weeks 4–6 of your e-Learning course and develop those weeks and other content areas to round out your mini course in the LMS.InstructionsWrite a 4–6 page paper in which you:Describe a course that you plan to develop for this class, including at least three goals of the course.Describe the target learners, discussing at least three unique needs and/or challenges the online learners face.Develop six relevant learning outcomes for the course.Propose the primary learning theory or theories you would apply to ensure students achieve the outcomes, providing a rationale for each theory or theories.Propose three ways to motivate students in the online environment, providing a rationale for each.Provide at least three academic references published within the last five years to support your proposal.Note: Your instructor will provide feedback and inform you of his or her approval and of any recommendations for changes.This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards.

Suppose that, as a teacher you have a choice for how to conduct a formative assessment of your students. A valid, reliable standardized test is available for use or you can schedule 15-20 minute individual interviews with your students while a student teacher conducts the class in your absence. Discuss the strength and weakness of each approach. Which on you choose? Why?

Read the article and answer the following questions:1. Discuss the role of researchers acrossthese eras.2. Groves states on page 870, “This possibility would no doubt trouble bothGallup and Likert.” Why might this be the case?3.What is your reaction to the “monkeysat typewriters*” idea as it may apply to survey research?
