Week 4

Research Simulation, Part 2

GENERAL TASKS	YOUR RESPONSES
State your research subtopic which you developed in Week 3	My research subtopic from week 3 was Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations which relates to early childhood. The important of children have to get vaccination shots in the United States.
Based on your chosen subtopic, now state a specific research question which will guide your research simulation. Remember to make the scope of your question narrow and focused.	Where the vaccinations useful for serious infection disease vaccines. Where it able to help out the United States? Many programs the United States  have for people health benefits to have a less risk of consideration of any infectious disease want have the country infected. With as many of vaccine recommended for people health. The consideration of people health infectious disease not so good without having the vaccinations offers to people in the United States.
What time orientation will your study have: will it focus on the present, the past, or the future? Explain briefly.	The time orientations of my study have is focus from the past but more focus on the present and the future. Because the effect of what happen in the past made the United States take in more consideration on fighting different health infectious diseases. To help many families and children from the infectious diseases for everyone.
Where will you conduct your study (laboratory, home, school setting, somewhere else)?	It will be conduct in a laboratory first in order to see do the vaccines work, then moved to a medical setting to help families and children. With many vaccinations for children immunization that many children have to have before entering into school. So I would think that it would be for home and school setting.
Who will the study participants be?	The study participants were, “Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations” by David Satcher, M.D., PH.D. The health benefit the United States has proved a vaccination for childhood immunization. Plus many more vaccinations for the United States people to fight off infectious serious diseases.

LOOKING AHEAD
The research design that I am looking ahead in is analysis approaches. Because those approaches ask more questions about the data collections that made me find more about the research with an understanding in what I was doing. More like a guide for me to design my research.

SECTION 1: KEY TERMS

WEEK 4 (Chapter 7: Design Issues)	TERMS USED
	1.      Research Design	It’s like a developed guide of studies with formulating research questions of a guesses of results.
	2.      Treatment Group	A group of  people or researchers that receives experiment from the independent treatment
	3.      Cross- sectional designs	It’s not any designs it really compare the different age group at one single time.

SECTION 2: LEARNING RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS

TOPIC - WEEK 4	TOPIC SUMMARY	PERSONAL COMMENT
Design Issues	In chapter 7 I learned more about design issues the name of the chapter had me to think, that it was some type of way to design some research issues. As I was discovering more about chapter 7 I came to learn that design involves the aspect of the processes of researchable questions. It was deciding in an alternative approaches in the research which it determines how the research will be undertaken in the research with the issues of time, place and person. More like with asking the question of who, when and where in chapter 7.Also  the design issues was a more understanding way in how to choose a clear way of understanding different methods of a research design data collection by analysis. In finding better research information with knowing what to say and how to say the right questions.	My personal comment about chapter 7 this chapter gave me a more clear way of how to design issues in a more detailing aspect of knowledge in research, it made my understanding how to design a research. I also learned in order to receive the best information or data in finding a research the main thing is to, asking the right questions by using different methods of researches. The data that I may try to collect from doing my research. This chapter allows me see that my information is more of a guide to other related strategy by informing me, with my research in how to do a research design. As the author would say, “Modifying the design in the light of pilot testing.”  As I come to a conclusion of my personal comment about Chapter 7.  I have learned by finding the right research I have to ask good researchable questions related to research issues.

SECTION 3: REFLECTION

Week 4, Chapter 7: Discuss the process of research design and compile a list of the factors that might need to be considered in designing a research project.

What I might consider in designing a research project I would first start off in asking the right questions. Like first asking, What are some research design questions?  So by doing the research it would be in a more understanding guide by using the words who, where and when. In knowing how to start the process in research. Then next to compile the process of the research I would make sure of choosing what method of data of my collection from my researchable questions and analysis approaches to how the research will be by time, place and persons that may be considering the issues related to strategy in guide. In references to other relevant data collection methods and techniques I can implement in my research design. To find what best go with whatever my research is about by keep asking the right questions in staying with alternative approaches in the process of my research project.

Discussion Assignment Week 4:  Research Question to Research Hypothesis         

Student Name: Angie Woods

One research question from the list above that in my opinion lends itself to being stated as a hypothesis. Research Question 6: Do mothers and fathers interact with infants in the same way? I just believe to me that mother and fathers does not interact with infants the same. A mother is more caring plus more protective of any danger of an infant and also tends more to the infant. When to me fathers are more laid back in tending to the infants they protect the infants but it’s not like how a mother would. If you are mother to an infant if seeing another baby in need a natural reaction will the mother have for caring for an infant? Which the father can have an infant but see another infant will not react toward any other infant as fast as a mother would do or show. So my answer would be no fathers and mothers have different ways interacting with an infant.

A hypothesis developed from the research question I identified? A father does not change or clean the infant and change the infant pamper easily as how the mother changes or clean the infant better. As the author say in the research article Mothers and Infants around the World: A Report of the Cross-Cultural Data Collection at Five Months, Early maternal care is more common than paternal care, and mothers and fathers do not share the same parenting investment strategies. Cross-cultural surveys also attest to the central role that mothers play in human infant development. For these reasons, theorists, researchers, and clinicians of childrearing and child development have historically concerned themselves primarily with mothering. Mothers participate in childrearing activities at significantly higher rates than do fathers (or other infant caregivers), and mothers generally have more opportunities to acquire and practice skills that are central to infant caregiving than do fathers. On average, mothers spend between 65 and 80 percent more time than fathers do in direct one-to-one interaction with their babies. This is not to deny or minimize the considerable contributions to infant care made by fathers and other caregivers in and outside of the family.

One research question from the list above that in my opinion does not lend itself to being stated in the form of a hypothesis? Research Question 5: When a young child learns two languages at the same time, does that create problems for learning any of the two languages well?

3

A brief explanation why this research question does not lend itself clearly to being stated in the form of a hypothesis? Because its many Mexican mothers I have seen they don’t speak English well at all. But their children can speak both Spanish and English language I don’t see any problems for learning any two languages well. If I am going to live somewhere at least I would need to understand what someone is trying to say to me or do. I would want to know the meaning of what’s going on around me how plus what’s good or not with any language I may be living around.

Blog Assignment Week 3: Research that Benefits Children and Families Uplifting Stories

Student: Ms. Angie Woods

Option 1: Share a positive example of the effects of research on children and/or families: Perhaps you can provide real-life examples of research benefits to children and/or families; maybe you are familiar with stories of people who have been positively affected by research; or you came across a published research article concerning children or families which you find exciting and would like to share with your colleagues.

If by all means I would do a research that benefits children and families, I would choose Parenting. I can say this in the area where I live at majority of the parents just don’t know how to be a good parent. I remember as when I was growing up as a child young or older children had to be in house when the street light came on. Not outside but inside the house I look at how time has changed so much. I just don’t understand why children can do more of what they want to do at a young age. It’s not all on the children because they only do what their parents allow them to do which most children think it’s great. But how I see how most parents are laughing at their children when they use profanity words at the age 5 and 6yr old. Never correct what the child is doing is wrong and that it’s not nice to talk like that using profanity words. There are so many parents’ that are too relax and with the lack of being a parent. Most parents are not teaching their children structure, respect others and yourself, plus values of an education.  When I was a reading tutor at a school here in Cleveland MS it was a 5^th grade boy who I was trying to encourage him to do his work so that he can pass out of 5^th grade. The little boy looked up at me and then said if he don’t care about his grades or promote to the 6^th grade. Why should I care it’s not like the school is paying me any money. I was amazed from hearing what that little boy had told me but it all come from good parenting he had let me known so much in saying that. Most parents mix the relationship up of being a parent and more of being a child friend to be cool with the children or child. But I am happy I came up the old way I value everything in how I was raised from a child into an adult. I would love to do the research in parenting to give many parents who don’t know how to be a parents also for the parents who lax in the area. By me doing this research I hope to gain skill on trying to give those parents who lax in parent resources to improve in parenting skills.

Application Assignment Week 3: Research Simulation Part 2: Ethical Considerations for Your Selected Subtopic: Risk/benefit considerations

Student Name: Angie Woods

My subtopic I selected was risk/benefit considerations I look at how the way things are so good for to have with the help of me having baby shots. An advantage in benefit from things and also a risk consideration from what may I have benefit from getting my vaccinations shots. There are so many benefits that the United States has to offer to help people benefit from, just as well as many programs out here to help low income people or people who need health care. I have known programs like Head Start has help many people and families. In the local area where I live at here in Cleveland Mississippi the help in making sure children receive all vaccination shots. The health benefit the United States has proved a vaccination for childhood immunization since I have been a child and before I was born into the world for amount of time. Which the vaccination help to cut out more of the sickness of children from small poxes, yellow fever, measles, diphtheria, tetanus and chicken pox’s, Vaccine that’s offer for our children here in the United States are free through at least Medicaid for low income, So even people who have a very low income can receive some vaccination so that the body can fight off different infectious diseases.

Which many programs the United States  have for people health benefits to have a less risk of consideration of any infectious disease want have the country infected. With as many of vaccine recommended for people health, I think the risks would be in consideration of people health infectious disease not so good without having the vaccinations offer to people. As I look at some other countries the risk for children being healthy is limited due to the lack of benefits to prove more help in need of having vaccines, food, shelter and programs for families.

In part of my research simulation  from my subtopic an article “Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations” by David Satcher, M.D., PH.D.As the  author says for benefits of vaccines they prevent a vaccinated individual from developing a potentially serious disease, vaccines routinely recommended for children also help protect the entire community by reducing the spread of infectious agents. Under childhood immunization initiative, a wide range of efforts, such as outreach campaigns, disease monitoring and vaccine research, have been enhanced. Overall, immunization coverage among children in the United States is higher today than ever before. These high immunization coverage levels translate into record, or near record, low levels of vaccine-preventable diseases. I just think if we didn’t have the vaccination to help reduce the infectious diseases it would be a big risk for many United States people. So there is a risk/benefit consideration for vaccination is great for the people health in the United States.

Instructor: Jan Ferrari Walden University

“Understanding Research Chart” is divided into the following sections:

                                                                                                                                                  

SECTION 1: KEY TERMS

WEEK 3 (Chapter 5: Ethics in EC Research)	TERMS USED	DEFINITION OF TERMS
	Aboriginal sovereignty	Is the power inherent in the rights of Aboriginal people as the First people of a particular country and inherent in the relatedness of Aboriginal people to all things in this country of past, present and future.
	Ethics	Refers to a consideration of the effects of the research on the rights and well-being of all those who may be affected by the research by the research.
	Feminism(s)	Is a range of theories critiquing patriarchal structures and highlighting the inability of existing social texts to represent lived experience.

SECTION 2: LEARNING RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS

TOPIC - WEEK 3	TOPIC SUMMARY	PERSONAL COMMENT
Ethics in early childhood research	In chapter 5 on page 74 the nature of research the learning resource highlights. As the author say, the researcher may well be interested in benefiting the participants and finding important data for social good, but inevitably part of the motivation of the researcher is in furthering career and status. The nature of research which informed consent is the key to ethical research. As the author would say, the idea of informed consent is based on the ethical view that humans have the right to autonomy that is the right to determine what is in best interests. The ethics in early childhood research in chapter 5 on page 75 as the author say under children and consent. Not all early all early childhood research involves using as participants, as the various. Early childhood research focuses on the early childhood staff, or parents, or some other adults. But much important research does involve children as participants. As the author say on page77confidentiality and privacy, professionals working in the early childhood area are well aware of the need for maintaining confidentiality about children and families. Also out of respect for the privacy of the participants, confidentiality is also promised in most consent forms for research.	My personal comment about the topic ethics in early childhood research of week three. Is that in chapter 5 it examined how different research is not neutral, When all research in useful in various point and particular assumptions in a way viewing by the world. Everyone doesn’t look at research the same way in chapter 5 it involves Aboriginal people as the author say is complex because it requires working within multiple contexts where the power differentials are not just doubled, they are multiplied. Any research that involves Aboriginal people as the author say must make conscious and purposefully act on changing the power dynamics to deliver equity and achieve equality. Which there is a very powerful inherently remains in the ethics in early childhood research there is an aspect of many research in early childhood. Because no matter what everyone in untitled to their own way of being guided their source of research. Still it’s good to know the correct early childhood research ethics. In order to help children and families with knowing the guidelines that covers a range ethics in early childhood research.

SECTION 3: REFLECTION

Week 3, Chapter 5: What kind of benefits could ethically justify subjecting a child to some risk in research.

The ethically justify subjecting a child to some risk in research is child abuse. Researcher might come across evidence of a child that may is being abused. Researcher may continue to research and justify the subjecting. I just think the more research the researcher try to prove the help for the child. If that child is still in the abuse area while the researcher is researching more evidence. To try to remove the child I just think that the researcher is putting the child in a greater risk. Cause by the abuse is more aware of the researcher the child is in a high risk of being more harm and more afraid to tell what the abuser is doing to the child.

Discussion Assignment Week 3: The Question of Justifiable Risk Angie Woods

Discussion Assignment Week 3: The Question of Justifiable Risk

Student Name: Angie Woods

Are there ever any societal benefits from subjecting children to greater than minimal risk(s) (as defined by the OHRP) in research? Explain my reasoning by identifying the benefits and the risks that form the basis of my response and citing the appropriate resources to validate your thinking. I would say, Yes because in everything thing that people may do or may want to know about it all comes from some type of way in reaching to find out the reason to something to benefit  from gaining a better guide decision making. As the author states in the book on page 78 in our text book “Doing Early Childhood Research,” In approving a research project, an important factor to guide decision- making about its ethics is the risk/benefit equation. The idea that’s the greater benefit to be gained from a piece of research, the risks are acceptable. So actually all researches are a risk but which anyone that I may gain from can may be benefiting to me.

That’s just like if I may have a bad cold but there is so many cold medications out there so I go and try one. The first three may not have help me so I go and try another type of medication but that one helped me out the most. Also made me feel a whole lot better than what I started out with trying.  Once again the author stated in the text book “Doing Early Childhood Research,” on page 78, Risk of research on children. Can include psychological risk, ranging from a feeling of temporary worry to longer lasting emotional disturbance, and include upsetting relationships within a family. I just feel when working with children, it is best to establish a good relationship with families to have a better benefit. So that their want be too many risk. As I try to have the important factors to gain in decision making about any ethics in the risk/benefit equation.
