Assignment Objectives
Describe the critical features of cognitive, behaviorist, and social paradigms of learning. Analyze a learning event in a given scenario, and discuss how to approach it from each learning theory perspective. (Deliverable length is 5 pages)
 
You have been appointed as program director and have responsibility for several instructional designers and course instructors. One of your jobs involves visiting classrooms from time to time and observing the classroom delivery by the instructors.
Complete the following:
· As an observing supervisor who is watching an instructor carry out a class exercise or activity, how would you tell that the instructor and students are using a behavioral, cognitive, or constructivist approach as the primary theory behind the learning activity?
· What characteristics of each theoretical area would you look for as observational markers?
· If your instructor asks you for more information on any of the three main theoretical areas, to which key articles or books from the AIU library would you refer them as touchstones for each theoretical area? Why?

Shanice was a vibrant 16-year-old who was enjoying her high school years. As a good student, she loved attending school and woke every morning eager to start the day. A popular girl, she was surrounded by many friends who all enjoyed each other’s company. From an early age, Shanice had been susceptible to recurrent viral and bacterial infections. No matter what she tried, she tended to have numerous infections every year which put a damper on some of her social activities. Recently, she had been experiencing recurrent lung infections, spending a week in the hospital with pneumonia and recurrent herpes viral infections. Concerned over these recurrent infections, Shanice was sent to an immunologist for further consultation. Tests were performed to evaluate the number and activities of her B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells. Results showed that Shanice had low numbers and decreased activity of her natural killer cells. Keep in mind that natural killer cells are part of the innate immune response. Deliverables Why are natural killer cells considered to be part of the innate immune response? What types of cells do natural killer cells act against?

Why are natural killer cells considered to be part of the innate immune response?
What types of cells do natural killer cells act against?
Describe the process whereby natural killer cells kill other cells and the role of macrophages in the process.

Two important theories that explain ethical behavior are deontology and consequentialism (also called utilitarianism).Explain two differences between deontology and consequentialism.

Two important theories that explain ethical behavior are deontology and consequentialism (also called utilitarianism).Explain two differences between deontology and consequentialism.
Deontology claims that rules and principles place limits on an individual’s activities and actions. These limits guide the individual toward ethical decisions. Consequentialism weighs the outcome before determining a course of action. According to consequentialism, the morally correct action is the one with the “best” outcomes. Police officers make ethical decisions every day that affect the public trust. When thinking about police ethics in criminal justice, it is important to consider how ethical theories may apply to the decisions police officers make when serving the public. The assignment (2-3 pages):

Explain two differences between deontology and consequentialism.

Provide one example of how each theory applies to policing.

Share an insight about ethics in policing.

How Might Patient Involvement in Healthcare Quality Improvement Efforts Work—A Realist Literature Review.
Watch the following video: 
Quality: The Process Improvement Team and Plan-Do-Check-Act (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dndmsIOrAQ)
Quality improvement in health care organizations involves a system of continuously finding better approaches to provide quality patient care and service. Health care delivery is complex and accomplished by a team of health care professionals. At its core, quality improvement is a team process and effort. In the health care ecosystem, there are various external stakeholders who have a stake on quality of care. Each internal or external stakeholder can make significant contributions to sustain quality of care and patient safety.

• Identify internal stakeholders and their roles in quality improvement.
• Determine external stakeholders (e.g., payors, regulatory agencies, accrediting entities, etc.) and their roles in quality improvement.
• Evaluate the role of the patients and their family members in continuous quality improvement.
• Discuss the importance of a team in quality and risk management.
Support your response with at least two scholarly sources published within the last 5 years in APA Style.
