Discussion Post #1 -Initial Post: The Instructor Guidance for this week describes some of the things you should pay attention to as you read through sections of an important report that documents the efforts of the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCCE), a committee in Britain that created a recommended plan for restructuring the education system to support creativity and cultural education in response to the need for addressing 21st-century skills in school. Read the NACCCE report, All our futures: Creativity, culture and education, focusing specifically on the Creative and Cultural Education (pp. 54-60) and Teaching and Learning (pp. 100-123) section. You might also want to read some of the material presented at the beginning to give you a better understanding of the overall project and the purpose of the report.As you read through this work, describe some of the specific strategies NACCCE recommends for facilitating creativity skills. Make a list of these strategies for future reference. Once you have a clear picture of the types of educational strategies Robinson believes supports creativity, view the When there is a Correct Answer video This is a short two-minute summary of Dr. Segev’s research on creative drawing with children.Based on the results of Dr. Segev’s research, describe a situation during your life in which your creativity was either inhibited due to an understanding that whatever you were creating needed to be completed a “correct” way, or encouraged because you were not given such stringent design parameters. Write about this incident in a narrative, storytelling way. Also include in your story a reflection on the NACCCE strategies you listed. Consider how these were either supported or not supported within the scenario you described of the decisions the teacher (or teachers) made regarding the experience. Once you complete your story, post it in the discussion forum. Feel free to be creative with this story. For example, you may want to try Storybird, which is a digital storytelling platform (free accounts are available to students and teachers). If you use a web-based technology to create your story, be sure to post a link to it in your post.Discussion Post #2-Have you ever seen Blue Man Group perform? If not, here is a ten-minute video that showcases the group’s unique, creative talent: Blue Man Group – part 01. In their own way, the members of the Blue Man Group reflect the essence of the Landfill Harmonic project. For example, at the heart of Blue Man Group’s act are musical instruments made from things that were not originally designed to make music. Similar to the Landfill Harmonic accomplishments, Blue Man Group’s creativity is not just applied to making music, but to making the instruments that make the music.Something you might not know about the Blue Man Group is that the members have created a school specifically designed to encourage and cultivate the creative spirit in children. Called “Blue School,” this educational environment applies the principles described by Ken Robinson (and others) to the design and operation of a school. This short three-minute video provides an overview of the school and its mission: The blue school.Blue School actively supports the learning of 21st-century skills. When carefully examining the instructional experiences that help students learn and apply 21st-century skills, you might realize that culturally relevant pedagogy is often a natural byproduct of such approaches. This discussion is designed to provide you with further practice in analyzing learning situations to better understand how culturally relevant pedagogy, learning 21st-century skills, and creativity naturally form a triangle of support:As you discovered while viewing the video on Blue School, there are schools that encourage culturally relevant pedagogy, creativity, and innovation. The background information you gained through learning about Blue School leads you to the focus of this Discussion and another prime example of a school doing some amazing things.Initial Post: High Tech High is a secondary school committed to facilitating 21st-century skills. Examine the 21st Century skills culture video that provides an overview of High Tech High and its commitment to facilitating 21st-century skills. As you carefully examine the information presented about the school, consider how its courses and programs naturally support a culturally relevant approach to instruction that promotes creativity. After viewing the video, answer the following questions about the school:In what way is culturally relevant pedagogy evident at the school? Link specific observations from the video with one or more of the following specific characteristic of a culturally relevant environment:Maximizing academic success through relevant instructional experiences.Addressing cultural competence through reinforcing students’ cultural integrity.Involving students in the construction of knowledge.Building on students’ interests and linguistic resources.Tapping home and community resources.Understanding students’ cultural knowledge.Using interactive and constructivist teaching strategies.Examining the curriculum from multiple perspectives.Promoting critical consciousness through opportunities to challenge predominant elements of the students’ social norms.Do the same for creativity instead of cultural relevance. In what way is creativity evident at the school? Link specific observations from the video with one or more of the following specific characteristic of instruction that supports the development of creativity:Encouraging students to believe in their culture-influenced creative potential.Nurturing the confidence to try.Helping learners find their creative strengths.Promoting experiment and inquiry and a willingness to make mistakes.Encouraging generative thought, free from immediate criticism.Encouraging the expression of personal ideas and feelings.Conveying an understanding of phases in creative work and the need for time.Developing an awareness of the roles of intuition and aesthetic processes.Encouraging students to play with ideas and conjecture about possibilities.Facilitating critical evaluation of ideas.Summarize the relationship between 21st-century skills, culturally relevant instruction, and creativity.

Psychology  Week 11 Discussion

PLEASE NO PLAGIARISM AND I HAVE INCLUDED AN EXAMPLE.Ethical Violations—When Things Go WrongMost complaints against clinical mental health counselors are in the areas of competence and conduct (e.g., client abandonment, sexual conduct, dishonesty); business practices (e.g., billing, reports, documentation); and professional practices (e.g., termination referrals, employment opportunities, nonprofessional relationships).Specific information regarding ethical complaints to state licensure boards, despite its obvious importance, can be difficult to obtain. Complaints can be filed by clients, colleagues, attorneys, or some other interested party, such as an employer or parent of a client. The process of investigating these complaints is quite tedious and can lead to actions or sanctions against the counselor. This, in turn, can affect the counselor’s ability to practice. Clearly, no counselors are exempt from having complaints filed against them; therefore, the best protection is to maintain an ethical practice.For this Discussion, use the Case Study Analysis Worksheet located in the Learning Resources for this week. Then select one case study from the ACA Ethical Standards Casebook and consider potential consequences of engaging in these violations and how you would safeguard against them in your own counseling practice.Post by Day 3 a brief description of the case study you selected from the ACA Ethical Standards Casebook. Describe two ethical violations and two instances of professional misconduct presented in the case study. Explain one consequence that may result from each of these situations. Finally, explain what you would do to safeguard against each in your counseling practice.Be sure to use the Learning Resources and the current literature to support your response.Required ResourcesNote: To access this week’s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials section of your Syllabus.ReadingsRemley, T.

Psychology  Discussion Response

Statistical significance is the probability that observed differences between two groups is due to chance (Warner, 2012). A threshold of statistical significance commonly used is a p-value. Again, p-values indicate probability. Normally, they are set to .05 or .01 (Warner, 2012). So, if a study produces a p-value less than .05 or .01 (depending on set threshold), researchers report the results as statistically significant. In other words, researchers assume that there is a less than 5% probability that the study’s results occurred by chance.However, according to the American Statistical Association, p-values do not convey meaningful evidence of the size of the effect or the importance of results (Wasserstein & Lazar, 2016; Yaddanapudi, 2016). In addition, smaller p-values do not imply the presence of larger effects and larger p-value do not imply lack of an effect (Sullivan & Feinn, 2012). Overall, p-values inform researchers that an effect exists, while effect sizes provide researchers with a measure of the magnitude of differences between groups. Larger effect sizes are more meaningful than smaller measures (Sullivan & Feinn, 2012; Wasserstein & Lazar, 2016; Yaddanapudi, 2016).In tests of statistical significance, researchers are evaluating the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis (Warner, 2012). The null hypothesis is a theoretical assumption which suggests there is no statistical difference between two groups (Warner, 2012). For example, a researcher interested in testing an intervention for depression may hypothesize that his/her intervention will reduce levels of depression in the experimental group. However, the null hypothesis states there will be no statistical difference on levels of depression from those who receive the intervention and those who do not.Normally, p-values used to determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected are predetermined, while considering two different types of errors: Type 1 & Type II (Warner, 2012). Type I error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true (Warner, 2012).  A Type II error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is NOT true (Warner, 2012).  Type I errors are likely to occur when p-values are set high, such as in the example of a .10 level of significance. Type II errors are likely to occur when the p-value is set too low, like a .01 level of significance. Generally, Type I errors are more deceptive because these errors suggest there are significant difference between groups. Researchers may use more relaxed levels of statistical significance because of the misconception that statistically significant results are more meaningful.Committing either error has the potential to cause harm to participants (Seigel, 2020). However, since Type II errors are considered false negatives (failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is NOT true), they may be more harmful to participants. For example, a person who actually has COVID-19 will not receive treatment if they inaccurately test negative. On the other hand, a person with a false positive (Type 1 error– rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true) may receive unnecessary treatment. Most would argue that the false negative is more harmful because the person will believe he/she is virus-free and refrain from taking proactive measures to reduce transmission, as well as not receiving appropriate potentially lifesaving medical treatment (Siegel, 2020).ReferencesSiegel, E. (2020). This is how false positives and false negatives can bias covid-19 testing. Forbes.Sullivan, G. M. & Feinn, R. (2012). Using effect size-or why the p values is not enough.

Psychology  Discussion: Understanding Ethnicity

/in /by

People often try to categorize one another based on single factors such as place of origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, language, tribal affiliation, national boundaries, and personal philosophy. Today’s world is so diverse and complex, however, that you cannot assign an individual to such a simple category. Instead, diversity and complexity are best expressed through self-described ethnicity, which may be based on a variety of factors. For this Discussion, reflect on the definition of ethnicity and consider how it might influence your human services practices.Is there a status quo in your work life that you think could be changed? In this Discussion, you will cultivate some of the important skills needed to challenge the existing state of affairs in your work life. Start by looking around your current workplace or envision the workplace at an organization with which you are familiar and start thinking, “What if?”With these thoughts in mind:By Day 4Post a brief definition of ethnicity, based on your understanding of how ethnicity is presented in the Learning Resources. Then, explain how ethnicity may influence human services practices in your area of interest and why.Reid Mandell, B., & Schram, B. (2012).

Discussion Prompt 1Infant IntelligenceDevelopmental researchers have taken an  interest in measuring infant intelligence and exploring whether it is an  effective predictor of academic intelligence later in life. What is  your position on the matter?  Do you believe that one’s intelligence as a baby will yield the same  level of intelligence later in life? Use your knowledge about the  factors that can influence infant brain development and your understanding  of nature and nurture influences to support your answer. Support your  reasoning with information from the text, other course materials, and  these supplemental articles:Gauging the Intelligence of InfantsThe History of Child Intelligence TestingDiscussion Prompt 2Infant Emotional StressThere is some debate regarding how often and how a parent should  respond and soothe an infant who is emotionally distressed. Some claim  that soothing an infant every time it cries may lead to developmental  issues where others claim that it does not. Based on your own opinion  and the research of developmental theorists, do you feel that repeatedly  soothing an infant is beneficial or detrimental to development? Why or  why not? What issues do developmental theorists claim may arise on  either side of the debate? How might attachment theory fit into this  debate? Support your reasoning with information from the text and other  course materials.each prompt should be more than 150 words
