...Group Work With Children and Adolescents I would like to propose a counseling group for children in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9-11). According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2010) counseling groups focus on the "interpersonal process and problem-solving strategies that stress conscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors" (p. 14). The authors note that play therapy can be integrated into any type of group and this would be age appropriate for the selected population. Potential group members would be selected via a screening process for diagnostic relevance, legal restrictions, and appropriateness for the group. It this area it is common to have families with no-contact orders and DCF involvement. It is necessary to screen potential members to avoid putting families at risk of violating legal restrictions placed on them. The group would be capped at 8 members due...

...Abstract This paper attempts to examine the group relationship of five Master’s level students who were randomly selected to work together on research paper that covered a topic that relates to organizational behavior. The five students are all part of an interactive learning program that provides distance learning in order to achieve a Master’s level degree. The course, Managing organizational Behavior, studies how organizations can effectively manage employees, and how organizations can achieve success by effectively implementing organizational practices that increase productivity and teamwork. The group examined in this paper chose to research the topic of Cultural Diversity in Organizations. The research included the history of cultural diversity, the implications, the benefits, and the organizational practices that lead to creating effective culturally diverse groups. The first major obstacle the group had to overcome was the distance that physically separated each member. In order to develop a plan and accomplish the end goal, the group had to develop a main source of communication in order to effectively communicate with each other. Having never met each other, the group was also challenged with learning about each other, and developing a plan that everyone could adjust to given everyone’s differences in schedules and access to communication tools. This paper will examine how the group overcame obstacles in group development, interactive communication, and group conflict in...

...Americans and Puerto Ricans, A new beginning in the United States North America is known to have various groups of different ethnic backgrounds and cultures. Most people in the United States if not them have ancestors who moved to the U.S for a better way of living or to escape challenges that arrived in their respected countries. According, to www.education.byu.edu Individuals of the Latin American origin contains over 14% of the population of the United States. The two groups that will be discussed in this paper will consist of American Mexicans the largest of the Hispanic groups and Puerto Ricans who are the second largest group of Hispanics in the United States. The Mexican American and Puerto Rican groups are the fastest growing group in such states as Utah, New York, Illinois, Texas, California, Arizona and Colorado. The Hispanic population continues to rise in the United States as more opportunities are given to them and this paper will introduce different challenges that these two Latino groups experienced in the United States. This paper will identify two of the largest growing Hispanic groups which consist of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans. In this research paper I will recognize who these two groups are, where they originated, why these two groups migrated to the United States, and also include the challenges that they face pertaining to work, health, education, family, and religion.

...ASSESSMENT GUIDE In both assessment 1 (presentation) and assessment 2 (written research article) you will be required to work in a group on the same research topic. Groups should consist of 3 to 4 individuals. Exceptions to this can be made for offcampus students if they can demonstrate difficulty in finding group members. You are free to form your own groups, whether through face-to-face contact or by using the ‘group formation’ forum on CloudDeakin. Ensure once your group is formed that you register it on CloudDeakin. You are required to finalise your group formation by the second week of trimester. GROUP WORK TIPS Your group will benefit from diversity. You are encouraged to form groups with a broad range of skills covering quantitative analysis, writing, editing skills and leadership skills. You should also try to form groups that cover diverse industry groups and cultural backgrounds. You should consider appointing a leader for the group. The role of the leader is to coordinate meetings and set deadlines. However, the group should still agree on decisions made by the leader and the group cannot expect the leader to bear responsibility for the group’s performance. At the initial stage, avoid assigning different tasks to each member. You are encouraged to work as a group, meaning you should first think about the project as a whole, write down some bullet points, and then meet together to work out a plan prior to the assigning of tasks. Also, do not expect to simply ‘compile’...

...Research demonstrates that collaboration is essential in maximizing the positive impact of student achievement and school success. Studies have shown that students do not learn well when they are isolated “receivers” of knowledge. “In collaboration there are many advantages and disadvantages. There are three advantages that you should focus on, collaboration offers a wide expertise and skills than just one writer may possess. The responsibility is wider spread, both allowing more members to shine with their accomplishments and removing the burden on just one person to produce a polished document.” Researching as a team changes the research process by making sure every team member is researching the same topic. Researching as a team gives the group a better chance to go more in depth to the topic. Each team member can research a different point in the topic and meet with the team to inform every member of the information found. Collaboration does not make it harder or easier to evaluate sources. As long as each team member keeps the link were the information was found, it should work out. Another way to make it easier for the team to evaluate their sources would be to make sure each team member turns in a specific number of sources. Team papers produce their ethos by researching the topic thoroughly. Each team member has to do their own share of research or the paper will not make sense and the author looses credibility. Each team member also needs to be on a uniformed side...

...Towards a Definition of Socio-Economic Research for the RESPECT Project A draft working paper by Ursula Huws, RESPECT Project Director Introduction The term ‘socio-economic research’ is in widespread use in the European Commission’s work programmes and elsewhere. In the Fourth Framework Programme, for instance, there was a programme entitled ‘Targeted Socio-Economic Research’ (TSER) and in the Fifth Framework Programme there were numerous calls for proposals to carry out socio-economic research related to Information Society Technologies (in the IST Programme) and to other issues of relevance to EU policy. At national level, there are also economic and social research funding councils in most European Countries. However, nowhere in this documentation, as far as I can tell, is any definition offered of ‘socio-economic research’. For the purposes of the RESPECT project, however, it is necessary to have some sort of functional definition. This short discussion paper is designed as the first step towards the development of such a definition. As the project develops, this definition will be tested in relation to the actual practices of socio-economic researchers, whose activities, qualifications and professional affiliations will be profiled as part of the project’s work. In the meantime, a brief survey of projects described as socioeconomic research projects indicates that they cover a very broad range in relation to the backgrounds and qualifications of...

...professional areas. While the terms group and team are used in seemingly interchangeable ways, it is very important to understand the differences between the two. Businessdictionary.com provides definitions for both a team and a group. A group is defined as a collection of individuals who have regular contact and frequent interaction, mutual influence, common feeling of camaraderie, and who work together to achieve a common set of goals. A team is defined as a group of people with a full set of complementary skills required to complete a task, job, or project. Team members operate with a high degree of interdependence, share authority and responsibility for self-management, are accountable for the collective performance, and work toward common goals and shared rewards. A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong sense of mutual commitment creates synergy, thus generating performance greater than the sum of the performance of its individual members. While teams and groups are similar, team members are more interdependent in their task orientation, purpose, structure and familiarity between members. In a group, members work independently of each other to achieve their organizational goals while in a team, the members would work together to achieve a common goal. In sports like football, baseball and basketball, teams work together to play for and win championships. In much the same way, teams in a work environment work together to accomplish the goals...

...Business Research Ethics Business Research Ethics Ethical decision making is important for researchers. Codes, policies, and principals are very important and useful, like any set of rules; however, they do not cover every situation. They often conflict, and they require considerable interpretation. It is therefore important for researchers to learn how to interpret, assess, and apply various research rules and how to make decisions and to act in various situations. There are many situations where research is not ethical. These actions would be regarded as unethical and some might even be illegal. These actions may also violate professional ethics codes or institutional policies. According to the article, “Accounts Offered for Unethical Research Practices: Effects on the Evaluations of Acts and Actors,” describes two scenarios of two psychologists fabricating data and using plagiarism in their research. One Psychologist, who was a professor at a large university, was accused of fabricating some of the data in a large, longitudinal research project. Evidence resulted in an investigation. It was determined that subjects reported to have begun their participation with this psychologist in 1975, really did not begin their participation until 1977. However, the participants did report that they were contacted to participate in 1975. Due to the fabrication of data, job security and salaries of the Psychology Department were in jeopardy. The Psychologist admitted to making up...
