  • “Exploring Family Dynamics: A Vignette Analysis and Intervention Using Two Theories”

    I uploaded 2 sample papers, the instructions, and the grading rubric. There has to be a family vignette created with issues and problems, nothing too complex. There are two theories that need to be applied along with intervention. I say 4-5 pages would be good, not including the title and reference page.

Building on your initial proposal, describe in detail the current challenges that adolescents experience in relation to your chosen issue, how that issue impacts adolescent development, what current research has revealed about underlying causes and evidence­-based best practices when addressing the issue, and what subsequent solutions or best practices would be viable options for your organization to adopt in response to the issue. Your assignment must address the following:
    Evaluate current research related to your chosen topic in adolescent development.
    Evaluate the relationship between the literature and real-world practice in relation to your chosen topic in adolescent development.
    Recommend best practices for positive adolescent development.

  • Title: Developing an Educational Toy for Children: A Research and Development Project

    Overview:
    You have been working at the Willie Wonka Toy Factory for approximately 6 months now. Your supervisor has given you your 6-month employment evaluation, which was excellent. As a result of your great work, your supervisor has informed you that he has
    chosen you to be tasked with developing educational toys for children. You are excited about this opportunity and readily agree to tackle this challenge.
    You are assigned to the Research & Development (R&D) Toy Concept Committee. Your instruction is to create a prototype for a NEW, developmentally appropriate, educational toy.
    The committee chair (Instructor) reminds you that the toy is an organic, dynamic process, therefore, it is not possible to detail all that must go into developing your toy or final writeup. What is written below is to serve as a guide to your open-ended, creative process. You are the creator, the researcher, and the developer. You will take this project from idea inception to presenting ideas for a prototype model. You are not actually making a physical toy but are presenting the ideas in a PowerPoint written format. Pictures and/or graphs should be included.
    Instructions:
    In this unit, the first two sections of the project will include:
    • Name and Aspect of Development: Name your toy and identify the aspect of development (e.g., cognitive, linguistic, socioemotional, or physical) your toy addresses.
    • Literature Review (minimum of 3 slides): Find and discuss at least three scholarly articles that provide relevant background information on the area of development you are targeting (e.g., cognitive, linguistic, socioemotional, or physical). Include links to the articles and provide a brief summary of the relevant key findings described in the articles.
    • References (Slide): This includes the three scholarly articles and any other resources used.

  • Title: Understanding the Function of Target Behavior and Designing Effective Interventions

    A specific target behavior can often serve multiple functions. Individuals learn very quickly that what works in one situation may work in another. Below, you will find an Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence data collection form. The operational definition of J. T.’s target behavior is provided, as is the antecedent and consequence of each occurrence of the target behavior.
    Client: J. T.
    Observer: Ms. Cooper
    Target behavior (operational definition): J. T. screams, “No!” then grabs a one-inch lock of her hair between her thumb and index finger of her right hand and pulls. She then makes forceful contact with whoever is closest to her with the palm of her right hand.
    Setting: Preschool classroom
    Antecedent
    Behavior
    Consequence
    Function
    Peer picks up toy beside J.T.

    Teacher leaves J. T. to help another child with a writing sheet.
    Target Behavior
    Teacher goes to work with J. T. and asks the Para to help the other child.
    Tangible; Escape; Attention;
    Self-stimulatory
    Please respond to the following:
    Identify the function the behavior seems to serve in each incidence of the target behavior.
    Choose two behavioral incidents that serve different functions and discuss the following for each incident:
    What replacement behavior could you teach?
    How would you modify the consequence?
    How would you modify the antecedent event?
    Why is an understanding of the probable function of a target behavior important in designing an effective behavior intervention plan?
    What are the three criteria for appropriate operational definitions? Provide an operational definition for one of the behaviors below:
    Hitting
    Non-compliance
    Tantrums

  • “Creating Holistic Athletes: A Review of Dr. Parham’s Approach and its Application in My Philosophy of Practice”

    Brief summary and review of main points of expert’s approach (Dr. Parham)
    Elements that you would consider bringing into your P.O.P. and why
    Elements that you would not consider bringing into your P.O.P and why
    My philosophy of practice (P.O.P):
    At the core of my philosophy of practice is the belief that optimal performance is achieved through the integration of physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of an athlete’s life. My philosophy revolves around the idea that individuals are not merely athletes but holistic beings with multifaceted identities. Overall, my philosophy of practice is grounded in a holistic and strengths-based approach that seeks to empower athletes to develop to be able to reach their full potential, both on and off the field. By fostering resilience, self-awareness, and psychological flexibility, I aim to help athletes not only achieve their performance goals but also lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. 

  • Exploring Bandura’s Social Learning Theory in the Case of Ari: Understanding Learning and Social Influence

    What are some of the major theoretical assumptions of Bandura’s theories that set them apart from other theories of learning? What does this theory explain well about learning, and what does it not explain well?
    Review the presentation Learning Theories: Case Studies. Choose one case study to use for this discussion. Using social learning theory and/or social cognitive theory, identify and describe a possible behavior that the individual could have previously learned. What kind of intervention would work for this person if we are using this theoretical framework?
    Share ways in which you have seen social learning in action in your own life. What trends or fads have you found yourself engaged in that could have been the result of learning vicariously?
    CASE STUDY
    Ari describes himself as being an “awkward geeky sort”. His very favorite thing to do is play video games, particularly creative and multiplayer games, and he is quite famous in his online communities and has developed a popular YouTube channel mostly with his Minecraft server.
    At 10 years old, Ari is 5’ 7” tall. His physical development is “off the chart” and physical education teachers have tried to coax him into athletic activities for years as they see his height as a true advantage. Ari’s parents say “his body hasn’t caught up with itself yet. He stumbles on stairs and bumps into walls… he just doesn’t have much coordination. Everyone in our family is tall (both of us are over 6’2”), and we all took this same path. Sports don’t tend to work well until about 13 or 14 years old, sadly.”
    At school, Ari has begun to notice that all the popular boys are athletes, and has now shared with his parents “I just want to be able to run fast and throw a ball… I’m tired of being picked last all the time in gym class, and I just want to fit in”. They have noticed that Ari’s performance at school seems to be suffering lately; he claims it is a result of being a social outcast. The parents said “well, he’s learning something at this school, but maybe not what we would hope he is learning. Maybe we should look at a different kind of school.”
