Subject: PSY30003 Psychology Project

Word count: TBC (Method/Results/Discussion)

Your introduction should consist of the following:

Word/time limit for Introduction: 1400 (+/- 10%)

  • Provide a literature review of the construct (i.e. realistic optimism, unrealistic optimism, and pessimism) to clearly define what they are.
  • Identify the construct to be measured.
    • This is an opportunity to define the construct differently to the way in which your team may have discussed it. If you are using the same definition as discussed within your team, you must write everything in your own words. Copying or paraphrasing the work of yourself or another team member(s) counts as plagiarism, resulting in all students involved receiving a mark of zero.
  • Justify why it is useful or worthwhile to create this measure.
    • This may, if relevant, involve identifying measurement issues associated with existing measures.
  • Include a hypothesis about the expected factor structure of the new scale (i.e. factorial validity).
  • Present oneconvergent and one discriminant validity hypothesis for EACH new factor hypothesised in your factor structure above.
    • The following document contains a list of measures of validity that you must use: Assignment 1: Measures for validity. *see attached
    • You will need to select from these measures and justify your selection of each in the body of your introduction.
    • You can use the same validating measure (from the list above) for multiple hypotheses. For example, if it is justifiableyou can use the same measure to provide convergent validity for realistic optimism and/or unrealistic optimism, and/or pessimism.
    • These measures will be included in the survey that will collect data for Assignment 2. If you do not use a measure from this list, you will need to update your hypotheses prior to Assignment 2 because you will not be able to run any analyses.
    • You can use facet subscales of the validation measures for your hypotheses (e.g. a single personality trait, rather than all personality traits that are measured).

The title page and reference list is excluded from the word count.

You must develop your hypotheses based on some of the measures from the following list. If you do not use these measures, then you will need to change your hypotheses prior to Assignment 2. (Note: validity will make more sense after the relevant week, or after reading Chapter 4A.)

  • ‘Life Orientation Test-Revised’ (Scheier et al., 1994)
  • ‘Satisfaction With Life’ (Diener et al., 1985)
  • ‘Positive and Negative Affect’ (Thompson, 2007)
  • ‘Twenty-item measure of the “big 5” personality traits’ (Donnellan et al., 2006)
  • ‘Estimation of health risks’ (Weinstein, 1983)
  • ‘Worry about health risks’ (Weinstein, 1983).
clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

PICOT Question Paper

SUBMIT ASSIGNMENT

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and Time) question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Step 1: Create PICOT question; A PICOT question is presented and provides a clear framework for the capstone project change proposal. Your PICOT question should clearly outline all of these elements: patient, intervention, comparison, outcome and time.

Step 2: PICOT Problem:   Identify the PICOT problem, what clinical problems or issues may arise from clinical care? The PICOT problem as it relates to evidence-based solution, nursing intervention, patent care, health care agency, and nursing practice is thoroughly described.

Step 3: Describe nursing intervention: A nursing intervention used to address the problem. Compare the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and timeframe needed to implement the change process.

Step 4: Summarize Clinical Problem and Patient Outcome: The clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

What do you perceive as the main barriers to student with dyslexia in higher education?

The semi-structured interview method was chosen for this study since it allows for the flexibility needed for respondents to share their experiences in the form of a narrative. Using the semi-structured interview process will enable to comprehend every respondent’s experience (Michail, 2010). The researcher’s objective will be to allow every respondent to feel comfortable answering the questions and describing their experiences. The information gathered will offer an insight into the apt conceptualisation of dyslexia and its connection to learning for learners with and without the condition. The research is designed to analyse dyslexia experiences and barriers in higher education, with a focus on correcting the shortcomings. Moreover, exploring dyslexia experiences and barriers in higher education might offer insight on how dyslexia can potentially result in inequality in academic treatment and examination. Thus, the questionnaire will focus on analysing the learners’ experiences and identifying the existing barriers, students’ coping strategies, and support that is most helpful to learners suffering from dyslexia.

The interview will be guided by the following questions:

  1. What is your experience as a learner with dyslexia in higher education
  2. Is the learning environment supportive of your needs?
  3. What do you perceive as the main barriers to student with dyslexia in higher education?
  4. do you think that learning environment is well adjusted for learners with dyslexia?
examine the experiences and barriers of learners with dyslexia in the UK.
  1. INTRODUCTION [AND RESEARCH QUESTION(S) AND/OR RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS(ES)]

 

 

In the UK, the figure of higher education (HE) learners with formal dyslexia diagnosis or self-identifying as having the condition has been increasing (Pino & Mortari, 2014). In 2001, such learners were approximately 1.2% of the HE learners’ population; however, in 2016, the figure accounted for 5% of all learners (Pollak, 2015). The 2010 Equality Act necessitates establishing pedagogical practices and policies to offer the quality of access to and inhibit discrimination of students with dyslexia categorised as disabled (Pollak, 2015).

Dyslexia is a difficulty in language speaking, spelling, writing, and reading. Comprehending the experiences of HE learners with dyslexia is a subject requiring careful contemplation as it depicts the impact of dyslexia on the lives of learners with dyslexia in HE. With the increasing number of students suffering from dyslexia in the UK, it is significant to ruminate the history and impacts of the services offered to meet the requirements of these learners in HE organisations (Mortimore, 2013). Comprehending the experiences and barriers faced by dyslectic learners in HE provides them with an opportunity to be successful in the HE studying setting, and the research aids to further the objective of the Access and Participation Plan 2021 to 2025 for colleges that comprises offering chances for all students, including learners with disability.

Problem Statement

Some HE institutions have accomplished positive changes by enrolling dyslectic learners and instituting centres supporting such learners; however, there exists limited research on the experiences of learners with dyslexia and barriers hindering them from attaining equal access and succeeding in HE (Mortimore, 2013; Stampoltzis et al., 2015; Pino & Mortari, 2014). The issue is that not much is understood concerning how learners with dyslexia overcome barriers and react to the academic interventions formulated to help them. It is significant to comprehend and learn these students’ experiences to comprehend the barriers they face and develop more efficient tools empowering learners’ success in HE and in their lives. Moreover, little is known on how HE institutions perceive learners with dyslexia and their conceptions concerning the experiences of the learners (Pino & Mortari, 2014). The information offered by this research might aid in comprehending the feelings of learners with dyslexia and the barriers they encounter to create effective support tools to assist them to overcome the challenges they face (Taylor-Talley, 2018). Comprehending these barriers might also aid in improving the existing support tool to ensure all learners have equal learning opportunities within the HE setting.

Research Objective and Significance

The main objective of this research is to examine the experiences and barriers of learners with dyslexia in the UK. The study will be guided by the following questions:

·       what are the experiences of learners with dyslexia within HE?

·       what are the barriers learners with dyslexia face in HE environment?

·       what are the possibilities for enhancement service delivery for learners with dyslexia?

Some HE institutions are more inclusive and enrol and care for learners with dyslexia, whilst others make an allowance for offering such support. It is significant to explore and comprehend learners with dyslexia and how they perceive their HE experiences and barriers as it offers insight into what functions well and what might need improvement. The study may also inform HE learning institutions serving students with dyslexia of the aspects that can be enhanced and strengthened to assist academic staff and the students and guarantee constructive experiences and success.

What are the Factors Impacting the Retention of Students of Color in Graduate Programs.

Factors Impacting the Retention of Students of Color in Graduate Programs: A Qualitative Study Fallon Trent Regent University Carissa Dwiwardani Azusa Pacific University Cassandra Page Regent University This qualitative study explored factors contributing to the retention of students of color while pursuing a graduate degree at a predominantly White institution. Ten students of color (9 female; 23 to 31 years old) participated in the study. Eight were pursuing a doctorate in psychology. Two were pursuing a master’s degree in higher education and anthropology. Participants represented various U.S. geographical regions, including Pacific Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Southwest. Participants emphasized the important role racial identity salience played in their perception of the program environment and navigating challenges unique to their experiences as students of color. They indicated that program racial climate, availability and quality of social support within their program, access to resources and support outside of their program, and individual resilience each had a critical part in persistence toward degree completion. The results suggest that the following are key in retaining students of color: learning environments that are safe, inclusive, and acknowledge the multiple facets of their identities. Public Significance Statement Although enrollment of students of color in predominantly White institutions’ graduate programs has rapidly increased in recent years, attrition rates remain high. This study reports experiences that both helped and hindered the educational tenure of graduate students of color. The study also serves to assist graduate programs in forming tailored support to improve retention of students of color.
