you will synthesize the information about indoor environments

The AssignmentReview what each of these age groups seeks developmentally. From there, you will synthesize the information about indoor environments, including the perspective that outdoor environments are an extension of the indoor environment, to discuss opportunities in the outdoor environment for mobile and non-mobile infants, toddlers, and twos.  For example, in the lecture, you learned that non-mobile infants watch and listen to the world around them. One thing a teacher can do is to seek out opportunities for children to watch whirligigs spinning or hear a wind chime ringing as the wind blows. You will come up with your own (10) ideas for opportunities for each age group.This table was adapted from Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and TwosNon-mobile infantsMobile InfantsToddlersTwo-year-oldsExample: Notice, looking at, and listening to what is around themExample: Crawl, pull to standing, cruise, and walkExample: Increase social interactionsExample: Engage in more complex social interactions

  1. You will use the table to provide an outdoor learning experience, opportunity, or material for each age group. An example has been provided in the introduction. You will provide one per age group (non-mobile infant, mobile infant, toddler, and two-year-old). As you contemplate each age group, you must also keep in mind any child care rules, best practices, and other considerations impacting environments for young children. You should cite your sources to support your activity.
  2. You will write a summary of each activity for each age group and justify how your activity is developmentally appropriate and supports early learning. You will cite your sources.
  3. Finally, you will submit the chart above (copy and paste it into a word document and the summary of each activity for each age group.

Evaluate a Quantitative Study

Final Project, Part II: Evaluate a Quantitative Study

For Part II of your final project, you will comprehensively evaluate an article of your choice that reports on a quantitative study. (Remember, a quantitative study uses numbers as data.) Locate an article in the professional literature that addresses a topic you are interested in. Remember to use the Area of Interest interactive (Links to an external site.) to guide you in the selection process. The article you select should describe a quantitative study and should have all or most of the expected sections, either with their own headings or embedded in the article: Introduction, Literature Review, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

In writing your evaluation of the article, you will use Section 5.7 in your text. Do not simply tell what is in the article, but evaluate it using the questions in your text. Explain and justify your evaluation based on specific examples from the article.

Your paper should be 2100-2800 words in length (not counting the title, abstract, and reference pages) and comprehensively evaluate an article of a quantitative study. Use proper APA formatting and good writing and organization in your evaluation paper.

o What type of hypothesis is presented (alternative nondirectional, alternative directional, or null hypothesis)?

o Do the investigators provide a clear rationale for the direction of their hypothesis, based on the literature review?

o Is the hypothesis testable and falsifiable?

o Is the hypothesis stated with brevity and clarity?

iii. Evaluate the Methods Section.

o What type of sampling method is used?  Is that appropriate?

o Are relevant demographic characteristics of the sample clearly identified?

o Do the methods of sample selection used by the researchers provide a good representative sample, based on the population?

o Are there any apparent biases in selection of the sample?

o Is the sample size large enough for the study proposed?

o Is a particular quantitative research design used (e.g. true experimental, quasi-experimental, etc.)? If so, what is it?

o Is the research design consistent with the purpose and hypothesis presented in the introduction?

o Are the independent variables clearly defined so that they can be replicated using the information provided in the procedures section?

o What are some of the potential threats to internal validity?  How are they threats?

o What are some of the potential threats to external validity?  How are they threats?

o Is there a clear and adequate description of the instrument (data collection measures) used?

o What types of measures were used in the study (direct observation, behavioral measures, self-report, etc.)?

o What are some of the potential problems or limitations with the types of measures used?

o To what extent are the instruments standardized, and what types of standardized scoring were used?

o Do the researchers clearly discuss the implications of the findings and how they relate to theories, other findings, and actual practice?

o Do the researchers identify potential limitations of the study and the results?

o Do the researchers identify possible directions for future research?

vi. Remaining Questions.

o What aspects of quantitative methods do you still find challenging?

o Was there any information in the above list that you were not able to find in the article you chose?

In addition to your 2100-2800 word paper, upload a PDF copy of the article to the Dropbox.
