...development affect on teachers and the learning in children and adolescences and also the positive and negative affects on students thinking abilities. Observation Analysis Introduction I observed the classroom of Mrs. Alicia Freeman. Mrs. Freeman is an 11th grade chemistry teacher at Carver High School. She teaches chemistry to six different classes daily. Her classroom is located in a technology classroom but the students gathered in the science laboratory classroom to complete their weekly laboratory assignment. Which educational theories were employed? The educational theories employed in her classroom are Bandura’s Social Learning Theory and Lev Vygotsky’s Social Development Theory. The Social Learning Theory, also called Observational Learning “occurs when an observer's behavior changes after viewing a behavioral model. An observer's behavior can be affected by the positive or negative consequences called vicarious reinforcement or vicarious punishment - of a model's behavior” (Educational Theories, October 2012). The Social Learning Theory entails three parts, attention, retention, and reproduction. Attention occurs when the child needs to pay attention to the learning. Retention is the child’s ability to store the information and pull it up later....

...Albert Bandura – Social Learning Theory Social Learning Theory is also called observational learning. This learning is proving 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 Albert Bandura says that people learn from 3 different strategies and they are; Observation, Imitation and modelling; a saying for this is ‘monkey see, monkey do’ because ‘children see’ and ‘children do’. This saying explains everything in 4 simple words. Bandura’s social learning theory explains human behaviour in cognitive, behavioural and environmental influences. Everyone and everything around us has an impact on how we all behave. Bandura particularly focused on how aggression progresses in children. Bandura says that childrens behaviour is influenced and learned by observing whats going on around them in the environment that they are in. Children also observe the way people behave around others and are influenced by them in good ways and bad ways, this is shown by the bobo doll experiment. Children are especially influenced by the role models in this society, at first they will observe everything they do such as their behaviour and further down the line they will start to copy what they do and reinact it themselves. Sometimes this could be a good thing sometime this could be a bad thing. He also looks at how we are affected by the rewards and punishments...

...David Fender MGMT 321-800 February 21, 2010 Boston Duck Case Study Swim with the sharks and live Boston Duck Tours is a success story founded by a disgruntled investment banker manager. Equity theory explains the reason for Andrew Wilson deciding to launch the venture. Working endless hours in a pressure intensive environment of investment and feeling that he was not being paid properly for his output input ratio Wilson not only made a career change but made a leap of faith into entrepreneurialism. Underpayment inequity is defined as when a person believes that he is not receiving the outcomes given his inputs and efforts. Remedies of underpayment inequity have been noted to be a lowering of a person’s inputs such as decreasing work hours or lowering the effort or being absent or asking for compensation increases. Inequity involves a person and a referent; it is not applied in isolation. Leaving the employer is one remedy noted. Wilson’s experience with the investment banking industry likely instilled the need to implement the equity theory principle at Boston Duck Tours. Most notably, Wilson wants to ensure his employees are equitably treated insofar as their outcomes and inputs are in equilibrium. Top performers are attracted to deliver their best performance if their outcomes are perceived to match their inputs. One learning theory, operant conditioning theory, is present at Boston Duck Tours. Employees conducting the tours, a.k.a. conducktors, adorn...

...In this discussion I will give a brief summary on two types of data collection methods and give examples of pros and cons for each method. OBSERVATIONAL STUDY Observational study is a method of data collection that involves a process of watching any given type of situation and recording the data that is observed. Depending on how and what data is being observed depends on the type of tool the researcher will want to use in order to collect their information. The researcher conducting this type of study is a passive observer and does not tamper in any way with the variable of interest or any factors that may affect it. When recording observation data, you have to remember that all answers are from your own perception and there is no right or wrong answer. In the observational study that I researched, researchers wanted to know if CCBs associated with LUTS in males. This was conducted on 38 males which ranged from the ages of 46 to 89 years old, with the median age being 67 for about five years. According to the study, calcium channel blockers associated to 100% of the lower urinary tract symptoms within a 38 males. A few disadvantages of the observational data method are that some of the research conducted can be subject to the researcher’s biases. This is mainly due to the perception of the researcher. The researcher may also miss important milestones that may need it to have been observed. Because of the fact there is limited control with this method; people conducting...

...Getting Started: The Anatomy and Physiology of Clinical Research Stephen B. Hulley, Thomas B. Newman, and Steven R. Cummings This chapter introduces clinical research from two viewpoints, setting up themes that run together through the book. One theme is the anatomy of research-what it's made of. This includes the tangible elements of the study plan: the research question, design, subjects, measurements, sample size calculation, and so forth. An investigator's goal is to create these elements in a form that will make the project fast, inexpensive, and easy. The other theme is the physiology of research-how it works. Studies are useful to the extent that they yield valid inferences, first about what happened in the study sample and then about generalizing these events to people outside. the study. The goal is to minimize the errors, random and systematic, that threaten conclusions based on these inferences. Separating these two themes is artificial in the same way that the anatomy of the human body does not make much sense without some understanding of its physiology. But the separation has the same advantage: It clarifies our thinking about a complex topic. . THE ANATOMY OF RESEARCH: WHAT IT'S MADE OF The structure of a research project is set out in its protocol, the written plan of the study. Protocols are well kn~wn as devices for seeking grant funds, but they also have a vital scientific function: helping the investigator to organize her research in a logical, focused...

...Assignment #4: Behaviorism Chasity K. Horton March 3, 2011 Development of Lifespan EDPR 2111-008 ABSTRACT The article I have chosen to review is titled Children Learn by Monkey See, Monkey Do. Chimps Don’t. (Zimmer, 2005). The topic of the article is Derek Lyons, a graduate student at Yale University, was doing an observation over how children learn compared to chimpanzees. He observed a little girl by named Charlotte to help him with his studies. I plan to show the similarities between the observation of Charlotte, the Bobo doll study and the social learning theory. From the article, I can conclude that the social learning theory when dealing with children is very true because everything that Charlotte imitated everything that the model or adult did even if it could have been avoided. The article I chose was written after Derek Lyons, observed a preschooler by the name of Charlotte. Lyons used an experiment from two psychologists at the University of St. Andrews which showed how young chimps retrieved food from a box. Lyons did the exact same thing that the psychologists did with the chimps with many other kids including Charlotte. Even though, Lyons did the same thing with the kids as the psychologist did with the chimps, the results were different. From Lyons observation, he saw that children will copy or imitate everything they see, while chimps will not. After observing Charlotte, Lyons found that humans are hard-wired to learn by imitation, even when it is clearly...

...Describe and evaluate social explanations for aggression (16 + 8 marks) There are a number of different theories which offer explanations for aggression. These include social psychological explanations and biological explanations. Some of the social explanations are social learning theory and deindividuation. Social learning theory was developed by Albert Bandura and is based on the behaviourist approach that our aggressive behaviour is learnt. He proposed that it is similar to operant conditioning where learning takes place due to observation and imitation. H explains that modelling has an influential role on the manner of the aggression, as if role models are seen t be aggressive this encourages those who observe them to exert similar behaviour. He also explains that vicarious learning takes place which is indirect rewarding of behaviour. AN example of this would include a child observing another child hitting someone in order to get the toy they desired. A number of factors influence the aggression levels learnt and shown in individuals, one of which is self-efficacy. This refers to the ability to perform the aggressive act, thus we are only likely to be aggressive if it is likely that we will succeed! Other characteristics of models influence whether someone will imitate behaviour, as if they have high power and status or are similar to he individual then this is likely to increase imitation. Therefore violence in the media is an increasing problem in the world today. ...

...Objectives of Case The company chicken coop , a quick service restaurant , had been growing by about 10% per year, even when the industry growth rate is just 5% per year but in 1995, for the first time , sales were down in 20 The Coop’s stores. To find out the reason behind this underperformance, two top managers of the Coop had suggested systematic market research for better quality and customer service. His managers suggested market research techniques like Quality Inspection Program, Controlled taste tests. Also Brand Image Monitoring Survey and Customer Experience Study were some of the method suggested by Trevor Wallace, vice president of Marketing. The objective of case is to decide which course of action Daryl Buckmeister , CEO of the company , should take? Whether he should put large investment in market research? Which of these proposed programs he should implement? Major Marketing Problem The Coop’s had always given preference to food items to create value priced meal. After little investigation Buckmeister came to know about degradation of performance standards in some of the kitchen. Also he found out some of the stuffs were not trained properly. Few of the customers also were dissatisfied with the food price of the Coop and they feel its food items are overpriced than the food price of their competitors. Another area of investigation was The Coop’s marketing spending. Although according to CEO, The Coop’s share of voice was comparable to that of KFC but...

...Literature Review: Enlarged Tracheoesophageal Puncture after Total Laryngectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Name Affiliation Date ABSTRACT Objectives: Enlargement of the tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is a challenging complication after laryngectomy with TEP. We sought to estimate the rate of enlarged puncture, associated pneumonia rates, potential risk factors, and conservative treatments excluding complete surgical TEP closure. Methods: A systematic review was conducted (1978–2008). A summary risk estimate was calculated using a random-effects meta-analysis model. Results: Twenty-seven peer-reviewed manuscripts were included. The rate of enlarged puncture and/or leakage around the prosthesis was reported in 23 articles (range, 1% to 29%; summary risk estimate, 7.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.8% to 9.6%). Temporary removal of the prosthesis and TEP- site injections were the most commonly reported conservative treatments. Prosthetic diameter (p =.076) and timing of TEP (p = .297) were analyzed as risk factors; however, radiotherapy variables were inconsistently reported. Conclusions: The overall risk of enlarged puncture seems relatively low, but it remains a rehabilitative challenge. Future research should clearly establish risk factors for enlarged puncture and optimal conservative management. Keywords: tracheoesophageal puncture, total laryngectomy, enlarged tracheoesophageal puncture, complications, leakage Enlarged Tracheoesophageal Puncture after Total...

...The Behaviourist Approach 1a) Outline two assumptions of the Behaviourist Approach (4 marks) One assumption of the Behaviourist Approach is that they believe the environment influences behaviour. An example of this behaviour would be social learning theory were it is believed that we learn through observing and imitating models such as parents this is known as environmental determinism. Another assumption of the Behaviourist Approach is that they believe scientific methods should be used only to study behaviour which is observable. They believe mental behaviour cannot be objectively measured, so choose to only study actions that can be observed, e.g. the learning of aggression via lab experiments by ‘Bandura’. 1b) Describe the Social Learning Theory of Aggression (8 marks) The Social Learning Theory (SLT) is learning through observing and imitating models such as parents or people in the media. It is a behaviourist theory because it can be tested in a controlled environment (laboratory) and conclusions from observations can be drawn, and behaviourists say we learn from our environment. Bandura (1977) also claimed that for social learning to take place individuals must undergo four stages. The first one being attention, individuals will learn the Aggressive Behaviour if they observe the model’s behaviour. Secondly, retention, the behaviour must be remembered in order for the individual to apply it. The third stage is reproduction: individuals must be able to reproduce the...

...Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory is a theory that states cognitive determinism describes how behaviour is learnt through listening, watching, touching, and so forth. He also describes how internal symbolic representation process and remember information. Moreover, to further his theory Bandura is interested in the connection between children and aggressive behavior through modelling. Bandura knows that learning can be learnt through cognitive determinism, but what he wants to know is the extent that children learn through observation of adult behaviour. Instead of inheriting violent actions children can observe and imitate aggressive behaviours. Bandura believes that aggressive behaviour in children is influenced by models and media. As a result colleagues of Bandura and Bandura himself created the experiment: “The Bobo Doll Experiment”. Bandura’s hypothesis is the connection between aggressive modeling and aggressive behaviour in children, fitting with his views on social learning. Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a further way of stating a question (Galenza, 2013). Moreover, a hypothesis is the relationship between variables and predictions on what the answer to the question is going to result in. Bandura has more than one prediction in the “Bobo Doll Experiment”. He had four predictions: he predicted that children who were exposed to model aggressive behaviour would imitate that same aggression when the model was no longer present, he predicted that children...
