 Researchers use scholarly literature for various purposes in their work, such as, but not limited to, establishing the need for and importance of their study or describing a theory. The problem statement is typically tied to the literature, and for this reason, these two components of research are presented together this week; this connection among research components will be a recurring theme throughout this course.
For this Discussion, you will evaluate the use of literature and problem statements in assigned journal articles in your discipline to understand what it means for a research study to be justified, grounded, and original. You will use the Use of Literature Checklist, the Problem Statement Checklist, and the Litmus Test as guides for your post.
 

  • Evaluate use of literature in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
  • Evaluate problem statement in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
  • Explain criteria for a research study that is justified and grounded in the literature
  • Explain criteria for a problem that is original
  • Apply APA Style to writing

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Will someone please complete these 4 discussion questions? Each reply has to be a total of 200 words. Please look over questions, and reply to each on in the most authentic way possible. Thank you
PRE-NATAL TO BIRTH
Imagine you work with high-risk expectant mothers educating them about the development processes of their unborn child.  How might you advise a first-time mother who is engaging in one or more behaviors that may be potentially harmful to her and/or the child.  What developmental issues might you discuss with her to help her make more informed choices to protect and improve the development of the unborn child? Include both positive and negative perspectives you might include in your discussion with the mother.
COGNITIVE GROWTH (INFORMATIONAL PROCESSING)
Briefly discuss what information processing approaches to cognitive development are, and how to do they differ from those of Piaget and Vygotsky?
Additionally, choose one of the following processes and discuss the process using an informational process approach.
Attention
Memory
Learning
You can use the concepts discussed in your textbook to do this, but do not simply repeat what is in the book.  Include applications, examples, or other additional information that demonstrates your understanding of the approach.
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Compare and contrast the Learning Theory Approach (nurture) and Chomsky’s Nativist Approach (nature) to language development.  Discuss the “pros and cons” of each approach.   Include in your discussion whether or not you believe basic language is universal and genetic, or socially learned.  Would you suggest one of these is the best explanation of language development, or would you choose an “Interactionist” (combined) approach?  Explain your answer.
INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT
Do you believe modern I.Q. scales are appropriate and adequate measures of intelligence?  Why or why not?  Include concepts of the development of intelligence in your answer.  Would you propose a different means of measuring intelligence?  If so, how would that look?

Role Of Theory Research

/in /by

For this Discussion, you will consider the role of theory in research and the relationship between theory and philosophical orientations. You will also familiarize yourself with a theory in your field so that you may become more conversant in your discipline’s theoretical foundations.
Post an explanation of the role of theory in research. Next, identify a theory in your discipline and explain its basic tenets. Then, with this theory in mind, consider your answer to the following question posed by Drs. Burkholder and Burbank in last week’s reading: “What do I have to believe about the world and about human beings in order for me to accept or use this theory?” (p. 27).  Finally, describe the extent to which the epistemological and ontological assumptions of your chosen theory align with the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview.
 

  • Explain role of theory in research
  • Use research databases and scholarly sources to identity a theory in your discipline
  • Explain basic tenets of a theory
  • Describe alignment between epistemological and ontological assumptions of a theory and philosophical orientations
  • Apply APA Style to writing

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
