AUTISM AND ASPERGER’S SYNDROME Introduction Autism and Asperger Syndrome belong to a group of neurodevelopmental disorders. The term describes impairments in the development and growth of the brain or the central nervous system that result from the existence of multiple issues and mechanisms, the most important of which is a genetic contribution, even though no specific gene has yet been identified. The syndrome is accompanied by significant problems with social interaction, nonverbal communication, and behavioral and interest patterns. The underlying causes seem to affect many or all functional brain systems, instead of being localized. Unfortunately, science and research have not yet identified the specific underpinnings of the disorder. The relevant neuroanatomical studies seem to point to the direction of alteration of the brain development soon after the embryo has been conceived, due to abnormal migration of embryonic cells during the development of the fetus. The result of these strange migrations is the alteration of the neural circuits that are responsible for Most of us dream about having perfectly healthy children and raising our own families. However, there are…

It is a way of life, and it is something that has to be impacted in you that, as you grow older in this life, you have to be in charge.

Social learning theory Introduction Social learning theory posits that individuals are likely to from others through imitation, observation and modelling. The theory is mostly called a bridge between cognitive learning and behaviourist because it comprises memory, motivation and attention. Weaknesses Although the theory explains complex behaviour, it can’t explain adequately how people develop the whole behaviour, including feelings and thoughts. People got a lot of cognitive control of characters, and just because they had violence experience does not mean they should copy the same behaviour. The theory seems weak also in the fact that no full explanation of every action, for example, in a situation where people don’t have role models to imitate. Some people got good character despite they grew up in a case where no one to follow or copy. Bias The theory was biased in explaining personality. Someone behaviour can be modified from the experiences and things they can into contact as they grow. The theory in this situation is bias because it does not consider some people whose behaviour is changed by the environment rather than…

This success can be attributed to the fact that there is a sharing of resources and students encourage each other to put more efforts so that group goals can be met members (Karali & Aydemir, 2018). Therefore, cooperative learning technique is the most used pedagogy over recent years. Other than the cooperative learning environment, there exists another learning environment known as the conventional competitive environment. The research has revealed that the competitive environment is not effective as compared to collaboration. Collaborations create a community that enable students to receive and provide help to other members. On the contrary to the competitive environment, cooperative learning is non-competitive, therefore creating mutual trust and hustle-free relationship among group members (Karali & Aydemir, 2018). To determine the impact of cooperative learning, research was carried out in some secondary schools in Natore, Bangladesh. There was a need for conducting this research since secondary students failed the mathematics subject terribly members (Karali & Aydemir, 2018). The…
CASE STUDY TATA “NANO” Introduction Nano is an ultra-cheap vehicle that was introduced to the Indian public by Tata Motors in 2008 during the motor show in New Delhi. India has been recognized as the global center in relation to the production of small cars. The vision of Ratan Tata, the chairman of Tata Motors, is to use Nano to face off competitors in the Indian market.

Study Analysis How were rigour and potential bias reported in this study? The concepts of rigour and potential bias were reported sufficiently in this study. The study demonstrated precision and soundness in all stages of the methodology, including planning, data collection, reporting, and analysis. For instance, the educational resources were made in such a way that they were appropriate for all participants. The development of the patient manuals was done by applying the principles of adult learning recognising the self-directed nature that is inherent among adult learners (Boyde et al., 2017). All the decisions regarding the style of the manual and the presentation were based on the instructional guidelines and design aimed at ensuring readability and patient engagement. Another method used at ensuring rigour in the study was the use of grade six level or below language to ensure that all patients, including those with limited levels of health literacy, could read and understand them. All these ensured that all participants were on the same page and that none of them was biased against. Potential bias in the study was…
