Article Review Instructions

One of the most important skills that we need to develop as educators and teacher leaders is the ability to read and discern current research that is being carried out in our field. Peer-reviewed journals represent the highest quality of research that is being conducted to help inform educators at all levels of the best practices in their content or field. When writing a journal article review the candidate will be asked to create a critical evaluation of literature that is relevant to his/her given field of study. These reviews should include summaries of the given information but should move beyond this to also include an analysis and comparison of the given information, and even the methods that were used to collect the information.

For each of your article reviews, you will be asked to select a peer-reviewed, scholarly work from an academic database related to reading in your content area. Your selection must reflect current research in the field and should be based on research conducted. Blogs, websites, “Idea Bank,” etc. are not acceptable choices for this review.

Examples of Peer-Reviewed Journals:

• American Educational Research
• Action in Teacher Education
• Educational Researcher
• Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy
• Journal of Research in Reading
• Reading Research Quarterly
• Harvard Educational Review

Each review should be 3 – 4 pages, double spaced, and include an APA formatted title page and references. Your selected article must be current (no more than FIVE years old) and must relate specifically to content area strategies. Your journal critique should be organized to include the following key points:

• Summary of the Article
• Conclusions and Implications
• Overall Assessment

Write a concise overview of the article. Include the purpose for the article, any research that may have been conducted and the methods used to do so, and any results from the study or other important information that the researcher may have collected or commented on relevant to our purposes.

Discuss the implications for the classroom the results of the study may have. Is the information that has been collected useful or practical? How does the information included specifically relate to the classroom? Highlight the benefits to the classroom, or changes that you might make personally because of the information found in the study. Be sure to link the findings with practical classroom application.

Give a short overall assessment of the article. Discuss any particular strengths or weaknesses within the study or in the writing. Did you agree with the major points of the article or were there any areas of particular concern? Was the article well written and easy to read, or was the information presented in a manner that made it difficult to understand or apply to an actual classroom?

All references must be cited in a correctly formatted APA References section. Your paper will also be evaluated for mechanics.

Theories of Cognitive and Moral Development

Introduction and Alignment

Cognitive Development Theory

Cognitive development theory posits that individuals advance through different stages. One example of how this knowledge can be applied in social work is when working with children. Social workers need to have a good understanding of child cognitive development to recognize normative patterns of development and be alert to issues of concern. They can recognize patterns of overall development and be able to detect when a child’s development may be delayed or developmental milestones are missed. This knowledge is key to promoting the well-being of children and is also a vital component of family support, assessment, and planning interventions.

Cognitive theory is also highly applicable in working with adolescents and adults. The theory posits that thinking, not emotion, should be the focus of intervention, and assumes that people have the potential to correct irrational or distorted beliefs. A social worker can work with a client to determine the cognitive distortions of a situation. For example, a disorder that features cognitive symptoms is anorexia nervosa. An individual refuses to maintain a reasonable body weight because of distorted beliefs about physical appearance and the effects of food on the body. During intervention, the social worker can help a client through techniques directed at both cognitive and behavioral modifications and work to strengthen the client’s sense of self by bringing balance to emotional and cognitive experiences.

Moral Development Theory

Moral development is related to cognitive development in that it proceeds in stages. Through family and environmental influences, children learn the social and moral values of their culture. During childhood and adolescence, the foundations of morality are established. Social workers can be attuned for signs of the different stages of cognitive and moral development to assist clients with personal dilemmas and help them achieve happier, more fulfilling lives.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

• Explore the impact diversity and difference have in shaping life experiences. (PO 2)
• Demonstrate understanding of person-in-environment from a developmental perspective. (PO 6)

Resources

• Textbook: Contemporary Human Behavior Theory: A Critical Perspective for Social Work
• Media: Moral Development
• Video: Terrorist’s Son: I Chose Peace over Extremism

Background Information

The broad array of theories presented in your readings for this assignment offer important concepts to aid social workers in our understanding of the historical, social, political, and economic factors that have an impact on people’s lives.

Review the chart to see the applicability of how theories of cognitive and moral development at a variety of levels provide a sound theoretical base for an activist model of practice.

Effective training techniques and programs, especially in regards to public safety, often need special or alternative funding. As states, counties, and cities undergo budget reductions, what are the available options for maintaining funds for training? What impact do these options present with regard to public safety? Based upon this week’s assigned readings, compare and contrast two (2) alternate means for funding law enforcement training. What restrictions or limitations are placed on departments by the funding agency? Are there any funding sources that go untapped? Why?

Police Departments from all over submit there budget. The way these cites come up with the money is different to. Take for example Middletown. Currently having 102 officers, the mayor thinks they ne more. As stated by Funding a city’s Police force, (2010) In 2008, Middletown carved out $10.9 million for the Police Department. In 2009, the department’s piece of the general fund pie was roughly $11.3 million and that number did not change as the city carved close to $900,000 from its budget this year to deal with the recession

Law Enforcements offices are supported by the administrative body that approved their creation, for example, city, area, and state governments. (Cash from fines help finance the administrative body. They also receive funding through state and federal grants, especially for particular projects like  ” drink,drive/go-to-jail, or click-it-or-ticket. These sorts of grants fund the need for extra officers and/or additional time expected to do these activities.

It was President Clinton who created a project called “100,000 cops on the street” and it was suppose to provide  additional funding for 100,000 police officers for a period of time. This program was more of a burden then anything else.  Police departments can use seized money for property if the state law permits.

In a difficult economic environment, officer training may be deemed as an extra in the department’s budget. Grant funding becomes a critical means to fulfill training needs (Schlegel,  2010).

Federal law and regulations have come up with several means that support the training and development of employees. Organizations are encouraged to support employee self-development and learning. There are several examples of flexibilities in the Federal training law and regulation such as providing academic degree training. There are several options for  maintaining funds for training  which includes  paying for membership in professional organizations, continued  service agreements  to protect the government’s interest ,sharing the costs  of training and education  with employee and also paying  costs of training  and education in advance.

There are various programs that are used for funding law enforcement training which include tuition assistance programs, targeted career training and professional development. The targeted career training is normally used to offer effective and consistent training. The training combines formal coursework with rotations. The training is based on defined competencies and also provide leadership, professional as well as technical training. Professional development leadership program is designed to offer technical and general knowledge and experience to career employees. This program consists of formal coursework and assignments for job training (Gasskov, and Bureau international du travail, 2000).

There are various limitations that are normally placed on departments by the funding agency which are as follows: the funding agencies stipulates that certain departments cannot use funds from an agency  for certain activities  and hence the agencies  introduced new  regulations  that apply funds  from all sources  federal and private agency funds. The federal agencies prohibit participation of organizing activities such as training for or encouraging labor activities and hence this limits some departments. Many sources of funding go untapped since dedicated individuals do not know about them neither do they know how to apply for those funds that are purposefully earmarked for programs they could use.

Discussion 1: External Groups: Working with Legislatures, Overhead Agencies, and Special Interest Groups

Legislatures, overhead agencies, and special interest groups have a tremendous amount of influence over public and nonprofit organizations. Therefore, it is particularly important that public and nonprofit managers learn how to work effectively with external groups while maintaining the integrity of their organizations.

In this Discussion, you explore challenges related to working with legislatures, overhead agencies, and interest groups, and consider ways to overcome these challenges.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how legislatures, overhead agencies, and interest groups influence the operations of public and nonprofit agencies. Then, think about strategies you might use to address challenges related to working with your chosen external group.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a description of at least two challenges related to working with external groups such as legislatures, overhead agencies, or special interest groups; explain why they are challenges. Then, explain how you might address these challenges as a public or nonprofit manager. Be specific.

Note: Indicate in the first line of your post whether you chose to discuss challenges related to working with legislatures, overhead agencies, or special interest groups. You will be asked to respond to the posting of a colleague who discussed an external group that you did not.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and other current literature in the Walden Library.

Self-Reflexive Journal

In this week’s journal entry, you will critically reflect on your own beliefs and biases about your Final Research Paper topic by using the concept of self-reflexivity. Paraphrasing Crapo (2013, sec. 1.3), self-reflexivity is the process of confronting one’s own preconceived notions and examining how these may influence how one understands (or misunderstands) others. Understanding biases and beliefs about other cultures helps researchers apply cultural relativism to their work.

For this journal, consider the sources that you summarized for Part I and Part II of your paper in your “Week Three Assignment Worksheet.” 

• What was your initial response to the sources you read for your paper? Include in-text citations and full reference entries in APA format to all sources you will be using for your Final Research Paper. 
• Can you identify any biases that you might have about the cultural practices you will discuss in either Part I or Part II of your Final Research Paper?
• Identify any problems you might be having in examining your own culture from an etic perspective or the other culture from an emic perspective. Review Miner’s article Body Ritual Among the Nacirema, and explain how his discussion of Americans (also known as Nacirema) will help you take an outsider’s perspective on your own culture. 

The journal entry should be at least 250 words in length. You should also include a title page and a references page.

Prepare a Microsoft word document about the communicable disease transmission and control evidenced in the Outbreak movie seen in class.

Determine whether there are fallacies of relevance in the following passages. If there is a fallacy, identify the type of fallacy. If you do not find a fallacy, note that there is no fallacy. Explain your answers.

1. All of the popular kids at Jordan High drive SUV’s. If you want to be popular, this is what you should ask your parents to get for you.

Imagine you are working on a computer that you have owned for over 5 years. You are having trouble getting documents to open and you spend hours downloading and uploading pictures. Some of you may not have to work too hard to imagine this scenario. You realize you are in desperate need of a new computer. You decide to take a look on the Internet to see what options you have available. You soon find out that the wording you knew 5 years ago is not the same now.

Or, you may be buying your very first computer and are now overwhelmed all the information that you find.

Either way, you are now faced with the one major question: which computer do you choose? A desktop used to be the only choice when looking for a computer. You now have choices such as desktops, laptops, netbooks, and PDAs. Now there are acronyms like MB, GB, TB, MHZ, GHZ, CD+R, DVD, and on and on. Before you purchase a computer, you not only have to understand the language but more importantly you must know what you want to get out of your computer.

When looking for a computer you want to look at the hard drive, memory, processor, and CD Media. If you are into gaming you should also look into sound and video cards.

Ask yourself the following questions. Do I play games? Do I travel? Will I need to take my computer to school? Will I be sharing my computer? Do I download music? Do I download images? Do I want a PC or a Mac?

In your posting for this discussion forum, follow these steps:

1. Retrieve an advertisement for computers. The advertisement can be out of the newspaper or from the internet.
2. Compare at least two of the computers featured on these key features: CD media, hard drive, memory, processor, type, and price. You may include other features such as video if they are relevant to your personal needs.
3. Mention where you found the ad and discuss which computer you would purchase and why.
