...Parent Interview In this paper, I am going to discuss my role as an interviewer and the steps I take to ensure a good interview. For this project, I chose to interview a family I have known for several years. They live in the same neighborhood as I. The father’s name is Alex and the mother’s name is Ashley. They have two children, a five year old son and a two year old daughter. The son’s name is Marcus and daughter’s name is Mariah. The family used to live in Woodland, but have been living in Davis for the last two years. Both Ashley and Alex were born and brought up here in USA; Ashley was born in Wisconsin and lived there for 13 years with her parents, while Alex was born in Fairfield but later moved to Woodland. He was raised by a single mom because his parents divorced when he was five. The divorce negatively affected Alex; which is why he wants his children to have a better environment with lots of love and care. Alex’s parenting style was permissive. Ashley’s parents were together and worked a lot but gave her the proper nurturing that she...

...utilized maximum variation purposive sampling in conjunction with a parent and teacher interview process that resulted in six themes related to the refinement of the intervention conducted by SWIFT. The six major themes included the recruitment and intervention timeline, length of transition supports, behavioral progress monitoring collection and data entry, case management coordination, benefits of skills coaching supports, and the parent coach role. The study determined that an increase in the involvement of parents and teacher in the early stages of SWIFT intervention, time of support provided, and communication between case manager, parent coach, skills coach, parents and teacher would be feasible and positively influence the successful transition from day treatment school (DTS) to the home district school (DS).

...Ethnographic research: oral interview 4-5 pages double spaced An ethnography is a long term investigation of a group (often a culture) that is based on immersion in and, optimally, participation in that group. Ethnography provides a detailed exploration of group activity and may include the collection of historical information and in-person interviews of members of the group. It is an approach which employs multiple methodologies to arrive at a theoretically comprehensive understanding of a group or culture. Ethnography attempts to explain the web of interdependence of group behaviors and interactions. In this assignment, you will interview a disabled or chronically ill person and make observations about the person based on your understanding of what it means to be a member of this social category. Remember that disability and chronic illness include both visible and invisible elements, and that there is great variation in age, class, ethnicity, and gender identity. You may also interview the parent of a child with a disability as long as the parent can speak on behalf of the child’s social experience or experience in society. You will use your knowledge of course concepts related to disability identity and group belonging. The interview can take place in person or, if absolutely necessary, over Skype, but not on the phone. It is important that you read facial expressions and have a sense of the respondent’s non-verbal communication. You should find out as much as you can...

...deceased donor (Hans, 2008). This raises numerous moral, ethical, and legal concerns. This paper will discuss the worldview and philosophy on posthumous assisted reproduction (PAR) of four different individuals: a healthcare colleague, hospital administrator, a friend, and a spiritual leader. Those interviewed were presented with the ethical dilemma on whether they agreed with the yellow group’s stance on supporting technology to create life posthumously with consent from the deceased spouse. The Healthcare Colleague The first interview was with a registered nurse, who was not in favor of using technology for posthumous reproduction. However, the nurse suggested that certain situations could change her view. She mentioned that as long as there was a written consent prior to the procedure then she would be in favor of posthumous conception. Evidence of the deceased’s agreement to reproduce posthumously appears to be the most influencing factor in shaping attitudes towards both the appropriateness and morality of PCP (Hans, 2008). During the interview, the registered nurse felt that healthcare professionals should think about the child’s interest in the future. Many believe that posthumous conception is an empty form of fatherhood that should not be entertained (Tremellen and Savulescu, 2014). She exhibited deep concern for the child growing up without knowing the biological parent. Interestingly, she also was not in favor of receiving social security benefits for the...

...English 121 I-Search paper Draft 2 November 17, 2009 Are community notification laws justified? Introduction & Research Questions Picture of Megan Kanka. Taken from Cal State, San Marcos’s University Police Department. Are community notification laws justified? When talking about such a controversial topic, we must ask ourselves why community notification laws were created. Richard and Maureen Kanka thought that their daughter Megan was safe. The Kankas had lived for fifteen years in quiet, suburban Hamilton Township, New Jersey. A family of five, they worked hard, paid their taxes, believed in God, charity, and the goodness of others. July 29, 1994 was a tragic day in history. First-grader Megan Kanka, Richard and Maureen’s daughter, was walking home from a friend’s house. As she was walking towards her front door, Jesse Timmendequas, a landscaper who had lived across the street for about a year, invited her over to pet his new puppy. When she followed him inside, he led her to an upstairs bedroom. That would become the last thing that she was free to do. For at that moment, Jesse stole her innocence. After he strangled her unconscious with his belt, he raped her and smothered her to death with a plastic bag. Timmendequas then placed Megan's body in a toolbox, drove to a soccer field a few miles from his house and dumped her body in some bushes. "Megan had a big heart; she was a great, great little girl," says her mother, Maureen Kanka, her voice rising...

...Current Business Research Paper June 20,2011 RES/341 Jack McNicholas Parent Drug Education This paper is a synopsis about an article of choice. The synopsis is will define the business research and the purpose of the article, any problems that may be under investigation, the methods used in collecting the data for the research and what was concluded as a result of the research. The article that was chosen is an article about parents and the education they have on drug use with younger children. It researches how parents can better communicate with younger people about drug use. Business Research and Purpose Parent drug education is very important part of drug prevention in young people. Effective communication can be a factor that protects drug misuse in young people. Business research is defined as a “systematic and organized effort to investigate a specific problem that may be encountered in the work setting, or that needs a solution” (Sekaran, U. 2003). Drugs use is most likely to not be openly talked about among parents and younger people. The purpose of this research was to help parents to find more ways to be able to communicate more successfully and productively with young people and to help communication be the key factor of any parent drug prevention (Shapiro, 1998). Data Collection Methods & Research Results The methods that were used to collect data were qualitative multi-methods. This method was used to establish parents (n=6) and young people...

...Introduction and Case Study Creswell (2002) defines the interview as a method of qualitative research that seeks to describe central themes and meanings of various human phenomena and experience. A web dictionary defines the word “generative” as having the ability to originate, produce, or procreate. This implies that a generative family is a family which is able to multiply by producing new offspring. A family is a system or unit which is defined as a group of individuals who are bound by strong emotional ties, a sense of belonging, and a passion for being involved in one another’s lives (Wright, Watson & Bell, 1996). The family visited was a nuclear family. The term nuclear family was developed in the western world to distinguish the family group consisting of a father and mother, and their children, from what is known as an extended family (Wright & Leahey, 2005). Nuclear families can be any size, as long as the family can support itself and there are only the parents and children. The purpose of the interview presented in this paper was to discover and describe the experience of pregnancy by a married woman who is in her late twenties. The paper presents the findings observed in the interview and ends with a series of conclusions and personal reflections on the interview method. The confidentiality of the pregnant lady’s name and that of any member of her family will be respected throughout the paper. This essay is an example of a student's work Disclaimer This...

...Research with Children and Young People | Paper Critique This essay will outline and evaluate the role of ‘Listening to Children’ (Walker, Crawford, & Taylor, 2008) in the current paper and reflect on other relevant research on the ‘voices’ of children and young people. Firstly it will discuss the methods which can be used to write a literature review, leading on to critiquing the research contained in the journal article. When beginning a literature review it is important to identify the methodological assumptions and research strategies that have been adopted for constructing the research (Hart, 1998). Methodology is a system of methods used to collect data and provides a starting point for choosing an approach made up of theories, ideas, concepts and definitions of the topic (Hart, 1998). There are two ways in which data can be collected – quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research involves summarising data using statistical numbers. The researcher knows in advance what he/she is looking for and all aspects of the study are carefully designed before the data is collected. The objective of quantitative research is to develop and employ mathematical models and theories which are hypothesised prior to the research being conducted. The qualitative approach to data collection involves research being collected via the use of primarily narrative or verbal methods; observations, interviews, and document analysis (Lodico, Spaulding, & Voegtle, 2010). It is important...

...Education in the late 1970’s Andrea R. Ferrari Professor Josephine Sarvis Dominican University April 19, 2016 Abstract This paper highlights key features of the development of education at Dominican University comparing 1970’s to today, focusing on how Dominican has been through changes such as name and diversity as well as the overall education during the latest 1970’s. This analysis is based off of an interview and has comparisons to today’s schooling system based off of historical events. Keywords: Education Education in the late 1970’s For my oral history interview I chose to interview my soon to be father in-law about his experience in the late 70’s. The reason I decided to interview him was because he had attended Dominican University back when it was Rosary College and I figured it would be great to see how different the school is now vs back then. During my interview I got to know a lot more about the person I was interviewing as well as their experience in school and the overall experience to education in the 70s’. Throughout this interview I’ve come to notice a couple of things that really stood out to me and one of those would the diversity of students in the 70’s was lacking, although segregation ended it was like there was still and unwritten form of one. Another thing that caught my attention was the advanced in technology from the 70’s to today, it may not seem like much but when compared to how that applies and effects the education systems it’s...

...Gathering Research Data Paper Hayley Lacy CJA/334 April 11, 2016 Rhonda Grant Gathering Research Data Paper Police officers are viewed by the masses of Americans that they are sworn to protect as the men and women in blue. They have sworn to protect the innocent and keep them from harm’s way and in turn do much more than that for their community. It takes an extraordinaire person to be a police officer. They are someone who is willing to dedicate their lives, health and safety in order to protect those who depend on them. In this paper we will attempt to address and research an interest that has been voiced concerning police officers and their jobs. In this paper we will state the purpose behind our proposed research. We will inform you of the interview structure we will use and we will inform you as to some of the questions that we would ask. We will give distinct advantages of a qualitative data-gathering strategy, such as participant observation, over more qualitative approaches. We will inform you when conducting survey research the importance of informed consent and confidentiality. It is a common conception that police officers choose their particular career path simply because they are inheriting a family member’s desire. They choose to be an officer because their father or their mother or a relative was an officer. It is a common conception that officers are not chosen they are inherited and expected to be from family. This area of interest is something...
