RESPONSE TO THE READING 1) Point to Your Topic: Open the reading response with a few sentences where you summarize clearly at least one of the author’s points that you want to address in your response. It’s probably wise to choose one idea(max two)from the assigned course readings that you want to take up in your response. You should not try to summarize(rehash)the overall essay but you can point the main, or of the author’s overall arguments. Often is more productive to choose only a unifying, central theme that you want to write about. 2) Write a critical analysis of the perspective you have chosen to focus on(1 paragraph). Develop your thoughts on the author’s perspective. The main idea is to demonstrate that you are grappling with the author’s perspective from your perspective—or that you are having a conversation with the author. 3) Riff/comment (response-style) on the author’s perspective, and repercussions in the world beyond our classroom (1-3paragraphs).[unique_solution] You are required to make a connection between what you read in our class and how this issue is addressed somewhere else…

Clarity and Credibility in Student Learning and Instructor Evaluations Introduction The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship of a student’s expected grade and whether there is a correlation between clarity and credibility of a students’ evaluation of instructors. Clarity is how instructors effectively present information whether written or oral and the effectiveness of students to understand the information presented (Myers et al, 2018). Credibility is the instructor’s knowledge of a subject and their ability to demonstrate the knowledge of the subject (Obermiller et al, 2012). This study will attempt to determine how clarity and credibility are associated with student expected grade and their perceived ability to communicate effectively.. Also, in this study, the research will be evaluated for differences in clarity and credibility related to student’s perceived level of communications based on the McCroskey Communication Competence Measure. The object of the evaluation will be to determine how clarity and credibility are perceived by the student in an instructors’ evaluation. Furthermore, previous studies include the Clarity Indicators Scale (Bolkan, 2017) and the Measure of Ethos/Credibility scale (McCroskey &…

Improving Attention and Memory Several strategies may be used to improve the memory of all students, including those with special needs. One of the strategies that may enhance attention and retention of course material for students, especially those with special needs, is the use of visual aids (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2017). Teaching students with visual aids such as pictures and diagrams, has proved to be effective in improving attention and memory among students with and without special needs. Pictorial representation of a concept that is being taught captures the student’s attention, enabling him or her to comprehend the concept. Moreover, a student’s attention is easily achieved with visual aid as the diagram, or the picture may be interesting. Consequently, the student is able to retain the concept enabling easy remembrance, leading to better performance. Therefore, using visual aids is an effective strategy that may help improve attention and memory among all students, especially those with special needs. Advantages and Limitation of Use of Visual Aids Using visual aids while teaching students with and without special needs has a couple of…

Application of Clicker Technology in the  Classroom Introduction This multimedia assignment will discuss the impact that the use of Clicker Technology has on the learning process within an educational setting, such as a classroom by offering a summary of the selected topic. It will also provide an annotated bibliography of at least five peer-reviewed articles and critically conducted a bio-ecologically-based and research-based discussion that will focus on addressing Clicker technology as the chosen resource. Topic Selection Summary Topic: the topic that has been chosen for discussion in this assignment is the application of Clicker technology within an educational setting, especially the classroom, as an innovation that helps transform the learning process. In any educational environment, student learning directly correlates with both student involvement and the quality of the program that is being implemented. Most of the instructors are facing numerous challenges in gaining the full attention of the students within the classroom, especially one that involves a high number of students (Mareno, Bremner & Emerson, 2010). Moreover, the limited funds that are allocated to the education sector in the country…

Week 1 Discussion             RE: Discussion Prompt             Nursing practice requires research and theory on issues concerning improving patient care and nursing education at large. The basic types of theories are descriptive theories, explanatory theories, prescriptive theories, and predictive theories. Descriptive theories are the first level of theory development, and they speculate on why particular phenomenon happens as well as the consequences of the event. In nursing, descriptive theories can be used to describe patient assessments. Descriptive theories can either be naming theories (explain characteristics or dimensions of a phenomenon) or classification theories (distinguishes a phenomena’s existence from its properties). For instance, the patient suffers from obesity due to the lack of physical activities and unhealthy eating. The patient spends most of the time playing video games and watching TV. Prescriptive theories, on the other hand, refer to specific phenomena that can be easily defined and have a narrow scope hence contain fewer concepts (Pisano, 2016). Also known as practice theories, these theories can explain particular nursing elements as well as address and predict specific nursing interventions. Prescription theories can…

Peers and Instructors as Sources of Distraction from a Cognitive Load Perspective Terms to define Classroom distractions are things that divert the attention and focus of students from primary classroom activities, including information processing (Frisby et al., 2018). Cognitive processing capacity relates to the ability of a student to digest the information and retain what is relevant to them. Anti-citizenship behaviors refer to those intentional activities that students engage in while in class that distract them as well as other students who witness these activities and may include jokes, a late arrival in class, fidgeting, among others (Frisby et al., 2018). Cognitive lead is associated with the amount of information that students can retain or hold at one time. That is the amount of cognitive effort that a student will require to perform the processing one at a time. Research questions Which peer behaviors reported by students as incivilities are also distracting in the classroom? Which instructor (mis)behaviors do students report are also distracting in the classroom? Does the classroom distraction scale demonstrate adequate model fit? What are the differences…

Can  Distance learning replace traditional classes? Distance learning is becoming more popular than traditional classes. However, traditional classes are still essential for learning. With time, distance learning is likely to replace traditional classes. The main reason for distance learning is that it saves time. Students do not need to commute to school or university. Similarly, they need not wake up early to be in class on time because they can view the lectures at any time of the day. Through distance learning, the students can concentrate on scientific conferences better than traditional classes. This is due to minimal distractions from other students. Distance learning also enhances healthy students’ environment. Learners do not make direct contact with other learners who may be sick hence reducing the possibility of infection transmission. On the other hand, distance learning causes boredom to students since they lack interaction with other students. Interactive learning helps students to understand more effectively compared to distance learning. In conclusion, distance learning is replacing traditional classes. This is because it saves learners time, enhances their concentration, and reduces the possibility…
