My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class. The teacher instructed the students to take their seats and take five minutes to write their assignments into their academic calendar. The teacher went
In this paper, I discuss my experience with observing a group counseling session with the purpose of evaluating it in terms of how it is set up, how it is run, interventions used, culturally sensitivity, and the contribution toward my professional development as a social worker. The group setting plays a critical role in social work outside of the individual session and can be largely beneficial for clients in the forms of therapy, counseling, self-help, and support. By attempting to better understand group interventions, I will learn how to apply this strategy in aiding clients for whom this method is appropriate by increasing their social supports.
People change as they grow, in the way they look, the way they talk, and the way they act. This is no secret and has been going on since the beginning of time. Today, I was a substitute teacher for the art teacher at Wheatland R-II School, in Wheatland Missouri. The school is a little kindergarten through twelfth grade school, so the art teacher has various age groups throughout the day. I got to see first-hand today the differences in students’ behavior when they are in different age groups. The biggest classes were Art Appreciation, tenth grade students, Art One, eighth grade, and Elementary Art, third graders; I choose these three classes to study the behaviors of for a naturalistic observation.
When it came to the nondomimant condition, the experimenter asked subjects to hold the pen with the hand that they would not normally use for writing. The experiment consisted of four different parts that were printed on separate sheets of paper and presented to subjects in a single booklet. The first task was a practice task and involved drawing a straight line between two points. The second task involved drawing a line between 10 ordered digits printed randomly around the page. Subjects were then told to indicate on this scale how difficult it was for them to perform the digit connection task. The participants were asked to mark the scale holding the pen as they had while performing the task. The difficulty rating was included because it
A case study is a research method concentrating on a sole individual, primarily used for studying people’s “rare conditions,” such as those with Capgras syndrome and Cotards syndrome (Kalat, 2015, p. 36-42). Naturalistic observation is covertly observing a person’s (or animal’s) behavior “under natural conditions” to gain new insights into their behavior (Kalat, 2015, p. 36-42). A correlational research method is a study that researchers use to measure the relationship between the variables without manipulating them (Kalat, 2015, p. 39). First, a zero correlation means “that as one variable” increases, the other reciprocates inconsistently (Kalat, 2015, p. 39). Second, a positive correlation merely means that the variables move in the same
My practicum placement took place at Lincoln High School, located in the Wisconsin Rapids School District. The school serves roughly 1,143 students, ranging from 10th-12th grade. In my practicum classroom, there were 16 students; the class was a mixture of students identified as having a sever Intellectual Disability (ID) and the 18-21 year-old program. The classroom was large, housing 5 tables, a full kitchen, handicapped bathroom, and attached access to the school sensory room. At times, the classroom was extended out into the community. This was most often witnessed when the class took the opportunity to go to lunch at a community restaurant (about once a month).
When researchers select participants from several different parts of the population, they are selecting a
During first period I observed Dana Bealing’s AP Calculus class. At the beginning of class Dana handed out the materials for the day. This included a project handout, a notes worksheet for the day’s lesson, and an example worksheet. During this time Dana connected with students by asking them how they dealt with the snow. She asked the students if they had any wild blizzard stories from the weekend. Dana announced to the students that there were going to be changes to the assignments due to the snow. She also took this time to tell the students that they needed to complete the final exam revisions if they had not already done so. These papers were handed to the students as they were walking in the classroom. The next activity included a
The ideal habitats for N. kaiseri are water pools and waterfalls (). The pattern of habitat selection in N. kaiseri is characterized by high occurrence in sandy substrates. This is presumably due to high velocity of water at the inner parts of the stream channel (Sharifi and Assadian, 2004) Sharifi et al, 2008). Pools and streamlets where this species is found are covered with different algae. N. kaiseri feeds on most small invertebrates particularly insects and their larvae in nature habitat and can hunt its prey inside the water, outside the water, or on the surface of water Reyahi- Khoram et al, 2016). The common causes of death in reintroduction are related to human activity, diseases, aggressiveness from other individuals and starvation
For my direct observation paper, I decided to write about the Social Learning Theory, proposed by Albert Bandura. This theory asserts that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement. I observed two young, caucasian boys at a shopping mall. The purpose of this paper is to use the course material from my PSY 335 course and applicate it to the real world through this observation.
In Observation, chapter 12, Gift and Task of Salvation are internal faith towards God. Listening to some of the ways that the author has presented the gifts and task in and out of scripture, I would like to live and thank God repeatedly rather than the preach it to people. The flow of positive prayer energy is always high. People will pick up on this energy. I say the belief of salvation is the application in the face of tough tasks, non-believers, and to energize believers. The question I have here is how long can I show an interest and keep asking and living like Christ? Does it pay off in people’s faces action and will my body react differently?
Kathleen participated in a variety of activities for the month of July. Kathleen volunteered in Meals on Wheels Suffolk (MOW), North Merrick, and can return. Kathleen also partakes in other activities as following; The Dollar Tree, Party City, and math on go. Attached is the copy of the activity schedule. Kathleen stated, “She enjoyed the dollar store because she was able to purchases items for her nieces and nephews”.
Observing college students in a natural, casual setting is quite interesting. A person can learn fascinating details about how young adults interact by sitting back and watching them from a distance without having any actual interaction. People and their mannerisms vary depending on the environment they surround themselves with. By the use of observation, an individual cannot only learn about his or her surroundings/peers, but also, the culture. Social anthropology is defined as the study of a group of humans in a particular society and their interactions. I used this particular type of anthropology while performing my own observation on the University of Southern Mississippi’s campus.
As I observed the class of the experienced practitioner(EP), I noticed that she stated clear objectives, emphasized and worked to meet those specific objectives throughout the plan. She ensured that the lesson was supported with appropriate resources to cater to the needs, interests and abilities of all learners.
The brand I chose from P&G is Tide. In order to conduct relevant observational research with the goal of improving and developing an advertising strategy, I decided to observe residents’ behavior in my dorm’s laundry room. This allowed me to conduct primary research, which would allow me completely understanding the process because I was present in conducting the entire experiment; I did not use others’ data.
When I made my first visit to practicum site, I tried to consider observing developmentally appropriate practice. First of all, I observed physical conditions of the classroom and the garden. The class and the garden are connected by windows that this helps children to make a connection between inside and outside world (Gonzales-Mena, 2001). When the classroom allows children being more integrated with the outside world, in my opinion, they find more things that they can improve their developments more intellectually. Also, this physical condition makes easy some activities. For example, in my observing class, every morning a child shows what weather is today via looking outdoor from the windows. I think that it is more pleasure looking from
