Student 2

The child that I observed was the little boy in the yellow shirt.  I learned that he both walks and climbs the stairs without help.  I also observed that he was able to shuffle through the pile of toys without falling over and that he was able to bend over and pick toys up without falling.  When asked if he can find a pilot for his helicopter and if he can find a boat he points in both cases, although he does go to play with the boat a moment later.  His language development is still at a level where he calls the helicopter a plane, but he does say a couple of two word statements.  Those statements are “it flies” and “big boat”.  When asked who could ride in the boat, he grabs the closest toy which is a horse and he calls it a horse.  He also points to a turtle decoration and says turtle.  He spends some time watching the other little boy play, but also spends time sitting near him playing. When the boy in green tries to take his boat, he stands up and taking the boat with him goes to the far side of the play area.  He pointed when asked questions more than he spoke.

Other performance-based assessments that I would like to complete would be ones that would help me to fill in the checklist better as it would give a better picture of what his strengths and weaknesses are.  I would choose to do these because by covering most if not all of the checklist it will be easier to make better conclusions about if his development is on track.  Games could be introduced to the play session to observe different skills, as could a snack time, and clean up time and these could be further assessed using a numerical rating scale to get a better idea of where his development is along a scale (Wortham, 2012).

Some of the advantages of performance based assessments are they a good tool for monitoring young children’s development, they are in context and can be incorporated into existing activities, they can be adapted to each child and their circumstance, and they can be ongoing (Wortham, 2012).  Some of the disadvantages of these assessments are that they are subjective, the teacher needs to be skilled to interpret them correctly, they can be time consuming and complex, and there are concerns about the validity and reliability of them (Wortham, 2012). I feel that with proper training the advantages outweigh the disadvantages to using performance-based assessments with young children.

Having Ethnic Studies options for students, especially in America, is important because in general if you grow up in the United States, the history you learn in elementary, middle school, high school, and even college is very centered around the White experience with people of color, other ethnicities, or minorities used purely as a way to propel the narrative for how it has affected a person who is considered White. Like Alison Harrington stated in the video, “I also think it’s important to have to see the histories of people of color, because we only get one history and that’s the history of white people,” (Alison Harrington, 14:30 min., On Strike). 

I would argue that Ethnic Studies is a civil rights issue for students because it goes beyond what is learned in the classroom. The knowledge of different races, ethnicities, and genders/gender identities impacts society as a whole. An ethnic studies program not only helps spread awareness of other histories besides that of White (usually male) Europeans’ but gives those who are Asian, African American, Latino/a, women, LGBTQ a voice and a sense of belonging and acknowledgment of their identities. It is important to feel represented and acknowledged as a person and a person who has a different history. Like Isabel Pulido stated, “Ethnic Studies means to me to look, to read a book and to see that it’s talking about me. To see that it’s talking about other people of color and their real histories. It means to reclaim my space as a woman as well as a lesbiana of color here in this country,” (Isabel Pulido, 14:50 min., On Strike). The lack of awareness and education about minority groups and ethnicities, fosters an idea that minority groups are less than that of their White counterparts. The lack of representation of others promotes racism and acts of discrimination because it is easy to point the finger of blame to someone who does not have a voice and who is underrepresented. 

It’s a story we know well from all our different chapters in this class and it is not an issue of just the past, but these issues continue to be of importance today. The Muslim ban is a perfect example of a lack of education on minorities. Programs for ethnic studies can help educate people about minority groups, which can in turn prevent such discriminatory practices.

 

Education 3003 Wk1 Content Review

Directions:

  • Respond to each item. Each response should be concise and between 2 and 3 paragraphs in length.
  • Use MS Word to write your responses, and submit your answers to all three questions in one Word document.
  • Copy and paste each question within the document, so that your Instructor can see which question you are responding to.

 

  1. Consider what you have learned about why we assess young children. Based on pages 33-35 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning and the video segment “Overview of Assessment”,” briefly explain the importance of developmentally appropriate assessments.

  2. Policymakers, the early childhood profession, and other stakeholders in young children’s lives have many shared responsibilities regarding effective assessment (NAEYC & NAEC/SDE, 2003, p. 4). Using the information presented on pages 3–6 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning, explain the responsibilities of each of these groups in ensuring effective assessment.

  3. Each child approaches, interacts, and processes their world in unique ways. Effective assessment takes this uniqueness into account through sensitivity to individual abilities and linguistic, social, and cultural differences. Review pages 18–24 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning, and explain, using examples, why sensitivity to each of these factors is such an important component of effective assessment. Then, summarize the role fair and impartial assessment plays in achieving this sensitivity.

five steps of hypothesis testing

/in /by

 

#11.  List the five steps of hypothesis testing, and explain the procedure and logic of each.

 

#14.  Based on the information given for each of the following studies, decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. For each, give (a) the Z-score cutoff (or

 

cutoffs) on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be

 

rejected, (b) the Z score on the comparison distribution for the sample score, and

 

(c) your conclusion. Assume that all populations are normally distributed.

 

#18.  A researcher predicts that listening to music while solving math problems will make a particular brain area more active. To test this, a research participant has her brain scanned while listening to music and solving math problems, and the

 

brain area of interest has a percentage signal change of 58. From many previous

 

studies with this same math problems procedure (but not listening to music), it is

 

known that the signal change in this brain area is normally distributed with a

 

mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 10. (a) Using the .01 level, what should

 

the researcher conclude? Solve this problem explicitly using all five steps of hypothesis testing, and illustrate your answer with a sketch showing the comparison distribution, the cutoff (or cutoffs), and the score of the sample on this distribution. (b) Then explain your answer to someone who has never had a course in statistics (but who is familiar with mean, standard deviation, and Z scores).

Response to discussion

/in /by

How would you respond to a discussion like this:

 

 

Carefully define the terms ‘science’ and ‘pseudoscience’. Thoroughly explain the difference between them and provide your references.

Science is defined as a body of knowledge consisting of measurable or verifiable facts that are acquired through application of the scientific method and generalized into scientific laws or principles.  Science is a means for uncovering truth that investigates casual explanations to discover empirical facts about how the world works.  Pseudo-science is defined as a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.   Pseudo scientific explanations are often overly complex, raises more questions, and doesn’t fit in with what we already know about how the world works.

Also, give at least one example of what counts as science, and of what counts as pseudoscience. Explain how you can tell the difference.

An example of science is the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly.  During my childhood, I would visit my grand mother in N.C. She lived in an area surrounded by nature’s beauty, and butterflies were rampant at her house.  It was there that I first witnessed the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly.  I was young, and had no preconceived ideas about what was supposed to transpire, so I was completely fascinated about the wondrous process of this event.  I didn’t consider the science behind this. nor did I ask pertinent questions to verify my claims.  I was just a witness to a beautiful creation, which happened to be science.  An example of pseudo-science is homeopathy.  This is a system of treating a sick person by giving extremely small amounts of natural substances that, if given in larger amounts to healthy people would produce the same effects as the disease.  In this case, the difference between science and pseudo- science is the fact that it has been proven and shown beyond any doubt how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.  With the case of homeopathy, it claims to work, however, when you ask the necessary questions about the claim, for instance, does it fit with the way the world works,  has the claim been verified with someone else, or has anyone tried to disprove the claim, it falls into a pseudo-science category.

Are there any pseudo-scientific claims that you hold? If yes, why is it? 

I actually believe there’s something to the Bermuda Triangle, which is also known as the Devil’s Triangle.   This is an area of many unexplained events like airplanes and ships disappearing under mysterious circumstances.   Because of so many weird occurrences, I would never consider going near that area.

Determine at least two (2) ways in which the material discussed this week has changed your own thinking.

One subject that has sort of changed my thinking is the video discussing the effects of a full moon.  I work in the health care field and whenever there’s a full moon, we brace ourselves for a hectic night.  Before watching the video, I really thought there was some scientific correlation between the full moon and how it effects certain people.  Another take away from this discussion were the pseudo-science theories, other than the Bermuda Triangle, I considered scientific, like Astrology, and Herbalism, or Reflexology, which I totally believe in.

Has to be 5 or more sentences.

 

 

Essay Questions

/in /by

 Please construct five essay questions from the chapters under Unit II on your course syllabus.  Your questions should be well thought out, diverse in nature, and have detailed explanations.  Your total points will be largely based on your ability to thoroughly analyze and describe a concept. 

In terms of length,  A good rule of thumb with essays is to make them a half a page, or two paragraphs at the least–think mini research papers.  I hope this helps.” I am looking for substance , so as long as you examine the developmental concept from a deeper perspective, you will be just fine.
