  • “Exploring Parental Involvement: Insights from Semi-Structured Interviews at the British School of Dhahran, International Schools Group”

    Using
    the Data_Interview Transcription attachment, develop five different interview
    transcriptions with the following instructions 140/150 words per question. 
    Overview
    The purpose of this study is to provide
    recommendations for solving the problem of low parental involvement in the
    British School of Dhahran, International Schools Group. The problem is that 65%
    of the parents of students at the British School of Dhahran International
    School groups failed to meet the required parental involvement standards (ISG,
    2023). This chapter presents the Interview Procedures, Survey Procedures, and
    Questionnaire Procedures.
    Interview Procedures
    The first data collection method is
    semi-structured interviews. The interviews will be conducted
    in-depth to provide valuable insights about the research problem and some of
    the reasons why it exists. This
    thoughtful arrangement guarantees a systematic and thorough inquiry that aligns
    with the research goals and purposes.
    Data Collection and Analysis
    The five parents from various grade
    levels will be the participants to which their children are attending BSD. One parent with a child from grade 6 to 10 will be used
    for the interview process. The
    rationale behind the fundamental methodology of semi-structured interviews is
    to attain a balance between structure and flexibility. This strategy aims to
    preserve the degree of system required for insightful analysis while capturing
    the depth of participant insights (Silinskas & Kikas 2019). The interviews will mostly be conducted
    through face-to-face interactions, with the provision of phone or online
    interviews as choices to meet the preferences and availability of the
    participants. Face-to-face interviews are commonly favored due to their
    propensity to foster enhanced levels of open and comprehensive communication,
    enabling more effective monitoring of non-verbal signs. Nevertheless, in situations where
    geographical or scheduling limitations hinder the feasibility of conducting
    face-to-face interviews, alternative methods such as phone or videoconferencing interviews will be employed to guarantee the inclusion of all
    significant viewpoints. The ability to conduct interviews in various modes is
    essential for optimizing participant inclusion and facilitating comprehensive
    data collecting. Following the completion of the interviews, the data will be
    systematically analyzed using thematic analysis.
    This method involves transcribing the interviews, carefully
    reading the transcripts to identify patterns, and coding the data to categorize
    these patterns into themes. Thematic analysis is chosen for its effectiveness
    in organizing and interpreting rich, detailed qualitative data, making it
    possible to draw meaningful conclusions about the factors influencing parental
    involvement. The analysis will focus on identifying common themes across
    different interviews and unique insights provided by individual participants to
    develop a nuanced understanding of the problem and inform the development of
    targeted recommendations. This approach supports building rapport and promoting
    candid conversation, both essential for exploring the intricacies of parental
    engagement (Huguley et al., 2019).
    Using this strategy, researchers can be confident that their information is
    useful and accurate, laying a firm groundwork for their conclusions and suggestions.

  • Title: Exploring the Power of Fanvids in the One Direction Fandom

    For this week, watch at least five fanvids or AMVs (Anime Music Videos) related to the fandom I chose, which is the One Direction (directioners) fandom. These videos should be at least a minute long and should combine clips from the media you are studying with popular music. 
    Here is a list of some different types of vids: 
    Character vids: Focus on a single character, often offer an interpretation of a character’s psychology, motivations, and/or character development. 
    Shipping vids: Focus on a specific ship, often making an argument for and offering evidence of sexual and/or romantic subtext between characters. 
    Slash vids: Like slash fic, slash vids focus on m/m ships. 
    AU vids (Ficvids): Use footage of characters and actors to create alternative narratives that either diverge from canon or transport characters into a different genre or setting.  
    Cross-over vids: Bring together characters from different media properties. 
    Charles Vane/Lizzie Bennet || Waiting Game  (Black Sails/Pride and Prejudice)
    Recruiter vids: Made for members outside of the fandom or sub-fandom, these vids are attempt to “recruit” people to watch a show or ship certain characters. 
    Write a blog post analyzing the fanvids that you watched this week. Here are some questions to get you started (you do not have to answer all or any of them). What is the purpose of this vid? What songs are paired with clips from the source text? What are the connections between them? What story does the combination of song and images construct? How do different songs shape interpretations of characters and relationships? How do fans build arguments through vids? What pleasure do fans experience looking at them? What about them generates that pleasure?
    Be sure to include at least 2 of the articles I attached below.

  • Title: Concept Map for M.S.’s Complete Physical Examination and Osteoporosis Screening Priority Concept: Osteoporosis Screening and Prevention Summary of Pathophysiology: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone density and

    Create a concept map using information from this case study:
    M.S., a 72-year-old white woman, comes to your clinic for a complete
    physical examination. She has not been to a provider for 11 years
    because “I don’t like doctors.” Her only complaint today is “pain in my
    upper back.”
    She describes the pain as sharp and knifelike. The pain began
    approximately three weeks ago when she was getting out of bed in the
    morning and hasn’t changed. M.S. rates her pain as 6 on a 0- to 10-point
    pain scale and says the pain decreases to 3 or 4 after taking “a couple
    of ibuprofen.” She denies recent falls or trauma.
    M.S. admits she needs to quit smoking and start exercising but
    states, “I don’t have the energy to exercise, and besides, I’ve always
    been thin.” She has smoked one to two packs of cigarettes per day since
    she was 17 years old. Her last blood work was 11 years ago, and she
    can’t remember the results. She went through menopause at the age of 47
    and has never taken hormone replacement therapy. The physical exam was
    unremarkable other than moderate tenderness to deep palpation over the
    spinous process at T7. No masses or tenderness to the tissue surrounded
    the tender spot. No visible masses, skin changes, or erythema were
    noted. Her neurologic exam is intact, and no muscle wasting is noted.
    M.S. has never had an osteoporosis screening. She confides that her
    mother and grandmother were diagnosed with osteoporosis when they were
    in their early 50s.
    Include answers to the following questions in your concept map:
    What is the priority concept of this scenario?
    Write a summary of the pathophysiology if appropriate.
    What assessment findings led you to identify this priority problem? Are there other concerns based on your assessment of M.S.?
    What is your priority problem?
    Based on your knowledge of the nursing process so far, what goals would you recommend in the plan of care for M.S?
    What interventions will help M.S. meet these goals?
    How would you evaluate your plan of care to determine the next steps?
    Remember: This is your first attempt at creating a
    concept map using all phases of the nursing process. Focus on choices
    based on evidence and being able to support your decisions.

  • Understanding Ourselves: Exploring the Biological, Learning, Cognitive, and Sociocultural Perspectives

    If at all possible would need 6/16/24 11:55pm central time
    Before addressing the Written Response Questions:
    In Chapter 1, you will find the descriptors of the biological, learning, cognitive, or sociocultural perspectives in the first chapter.  Psychological scientists often approach questions differently, depending on whether they take a biological, learning (behavioral), cognitive, or sociocultural perspective. Consider how these influences interact to make us who we are. Take, for example, questions surrounding what type of student you are. 
    Written Response Questions:
    2.  Explain whether you someone who is mostly confident in your abilities or often has to overcome self-doubt.  I understand you may be confident in certain areas while having self-doubt in others, but if you had to pick one, which would be – confident or self-doubt?   Explain your thinking behind that and mention a couple of examples you are willing to share to support this.   
    3.  Answer one of these questions and then consider where this personal tendency of yours comes from:
    Do you like speaking up in class or prefer remaining quiet? Do you enjoy or worry about the pressure of taking tests? Do you prefer traditional face to face classes or online classes? 
    After you chose and answered one of those questions, explain your thoughts and feelings when you go against your conform zone.  For example, if you prefer to remain quiet in class, explain your thoughts and feelings when you are put in a position to speak up.
    4.  Do you think the ­explanation for what type of student you are is best provided by a biological, learning (behavioral), cognitive, or sociocultural perspective? In your own words (no copy/pasting), describe the perspective you chose.  Then explain what made you chose that perspective as the best explanation of you as a student.
    5.  Given what you have written about for items #2 to 4, what would be a good goal for you?  Then explain what makes this a good goal.  How would you know when you met that goal?
    Your analysis needs to be saved and submitted as Microsoft Word (.docx) or a Wordpad Rich Text Format (.rtf) document. To summarize:
    Your paper must be typed, double-spaced, and written in Times New Roman 12 pt. font.
    Your paper should have 1-inch margins all around.  
    Paragraph indents should be no more than 1/2 inch.
    If you use a header, use only one line.
    Your paper should have a properly formatted cover page.
    Your paper must be longer than one page in length in content (1 1/2 to 2 is typically good!).  Name, date, title, work cited are additional and do not count as content.  Also, do not number it, make bullet points, or rewrite the questions.
    Your paper should be mostly your own words. If you are using someone else’s words, then you need to use quotes, give credit, and connect it to your message. If you paraphrase someone else’s words, then you need to give credit and connect it to your message. For this paper to be scored, no more than TWO (2) sentences can belong to someone’s published work (quoted or paraphrased).
    Be sure to properly CITE ALL SOURCES USED at the end of your paper on its own Reference page.
