Research Outline

 

Your final research paper will be based on a topic of your choice related to an aspect of organizational development examined in this course (see list provided). This assignment requires that you explore a key aspect of organizational development within a large business setting, and prepare a substantive outline detailing the program that you intend to design, develop, implement, and maintain for the benefit of the organization identified. For the purposes of this assignment, you must select a Fortune 1,000 company for this project. You may use the readings assigned in the class to supplement your research.

Prepare an outline with bullet points of the topics, subtopics, theories and concepts that you plan to ultimately cover in your research paperResearch Paper Topics:

Recommend ways for the airline carriers to improve their lean operation systems in terms of speed and quality while reducing waste and costs.
  • Compare and contrast the lean service system found within Southwest Airlines to a full-service airline such as United Airlines, British Airways, and other large carriers in terms of cabin service, boarding process, baggage handling, and service encounters.
  • Recommend ways for the airline carriers to improve their lean operation systems in terms of speed and quality while reducing waste and costs. Explain your rationale.
Describe how developing leaders within the school helps focus organizational time on high-quality school instruction and student learning.

As an administrator, you may be charged with identifying and coaching other school leaders to promote distributed leadership across a school campus.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

For this benchmark assignment, you will continue in the role of the school principal who is developing an instructional leader. Complete a coaching cycle of pre-conferencing, observing, and post-conferencing with a novice instructional leader who is completing the coaching cycle with a classroom teacher. Begin by meeting with the instructional leader and the classroom teacher for a pre-conference, then attend the observation, and follow-up with a post-conference. During each step of the process, evaluate the novice instructional leader on the quality of their feedback, specifically related to school culture and professional respect.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the principal mentor and, provided permission, seek opportunities to observe and/or assist the principal mentor.

At the conclusion of the clinical field experience, compose a 750-1,000 word summary and analysis of your experiences.

Include the following:

  • Summarize your coaching experiences, demonstrating how you developed and supervised the staff’s instructional and leadership capacity.
  • Describe how developing leaders within the school helps focus organizational time on high-quality school instruction and student learning.
  • Explain the school’s distributed leadership structure and provide 1-3 recommendations to improve the structure or related policies.

Support your analysis, reflection, and suggested areas of improvement with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Use a scatterplot to examine the relationship between Adverts and Airplay.

PSY 510 SPSS Assignment 3

 

Before you begin the assignment:

 

Review the video tutorial in the Module Seven resources for an overview of conducting correlational analyses in SPSS.

Access and open the Album Sales SPSS data set (this is the same data set that was used in SPSS Assignment 2). Data adapted from Field, A. (2013). Discovering statistics using IBM SPSS statistics (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.

 

An overview of the data set:

 

This data set contains data for 200 different rock albums (i.e., each row in the data set represents the data for one album). Specifically, the following variables are included:

 

AlbumNumber: This is the ID number of the album. There are 200 albums, so this variable ranges from 1 to 200.

RecordCompany: This is the record company that promoted the album. Values of “1” stand for Next Generation Records, and values of “2” stand for Worldwide Entertainment.

Adverts: This is the advertising budget of the album. The values are in thousands of dollars.

Sales: These are the sales of the album. The values are in thousands of sales.

Airplay: This is the number of times that the album was played on the radio in the last year.

Attract: This is the overall physical attractiveness of the band as rated by independent raters. The values for this variable range from 1 to 10.

 

Questions:

 

1a) Use a scatterplot to examine the relationship between Adverts and Airplay.

 

Paste your scatterplot below:

 

1b) From the scatterplot, does there appear to be a strong correlation between Adverts and Airplay? If so, is the relationship positive or negative?

 

Type your answer below:

 

2a) Use a matrix scatterplot to examine all of the relationships between Sales, Adverts, and Airplay.

 

Paste your relevant output below:

 

2b) Describe the relationships between the variables. More specifically, do any of the variables appear strongly correlated? If there are correlations, is the relationship positive or negative?

 

Type your answer below:

 

3a) Examine the correlation between Adverts and Airplay.

 

Paste your relevant output below:

 

3b) Describe this correlation. What is the r-value? Does the r-value suggest a positive or negative correlation? Is the correlation weak or strong? Looking at the significance value, is the correlation significant?

 

Type your answer in complete sentences below:

 

4a) Create a correlation matrix that depicts the correlations between Sales, Adverts, and Airplay.

4b) Are there any significant correlations between the variables? If so, explain which variables are correlated, and describe the nature of the correlation (i.e., positive or negative).

 

Type your answer below:

 

5a) Crseate an example of two variables (unrelated to the Album Sales data set) that you think would be negatively correlated. Describe the variables below.

 

Type your answer below:

 

5b) Create a new SPSS dataset that includes the two variables described in 5a. Enter hypothetical data for at least 10 participants. Run a scatterplot and then calculate the correlation using SPSS.

 

Paste your relevant output below:

 

5c) Describe the correlation that exists in your hypothetical data. Is it positive or negative? Is it significant?

What might the misleading headline be, and why would it be misleading?

This discussion assignment has two components. First, choose an article from the popular news media (i.e., an article that might appear on a website meant for the general public, NOT a peer-reviewed academic article) that misinterprets correlation as causation. Why is the author’s interpretation of the topic a mistake? For this portion of the assignment, you may choose an article featured on the Correlation or Causation? website, but you do not have to. For the second portion of this assignment, choose one of the articles that you have read for your final project. Describe how the results from one of the articles (preferably a correlation) could be misinterpreted and misconstrued by a news source. What might the misleading headline be, and why would it be misleading?

What is the main message the director wants to get across to the audience? 

TED TALK – The Biology of Gender: From DNA to the Brain | Karissa Sanbonmatsu

  • What did you expect to see?
  • What have you learned from it?
  • Was there anything that surprised you?
  • What are the drawbacks of the documentary?  How exactly does gender work? It’s not just about our chromosomes, says biologist Karissa Sanbonmatsu. In a visionary talk, she shares new discoveries from epigenetics, the emerging study of how DNA activity can permanently change based on social factors like trauma or diet. Learn how life experiences shape the way genes are expressed — and what that means for our understanding of gender.
