ED5006 EXAMINING RESEARCH-BASED SOLUTIONS

EXAMINING RESEARCH-BASED SOLUTIONS

Overview

In this assignment, you will analyze research reports that are relevant to a selected problem in professional practice, ( LACK OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN FAMILY CHILD CARE) then you will determine the transferability of that research.

Because this assignment furthers the research you did in your first assignment and will also prepare you for the final assignment in this course, it is recommended (but not required) that you use the same selected problem in your professional practice for all three assignments in this course.

Preparation

Choose the problem in professional practice that you would like to explore. It should be a problem or issue in your workplace or future field which you have some interest in solving or improving.

Search the library databases for educational research articles. Find two research reports that address your topic and problem. The research reports must be from the last five years, and they must be peer-reviewed, original research articles from a journal. These should be research reports, not reviews of the literature or theoretical articles.

Instructions

Your assignment is an 800–1200-word paper that follows APA form and style protocols. Refer to Evidence and APA and the APA 7th edition manual for specifics.

Your paper should include the following sections:

Introduction

First, offer a brief introduction to the topic of your paper and present a thesis or purpose statement for your assignment at the end of your introduction.

Note: APA formatting states that the first part of a manuscript or paper is assumed to be the introduction; therefore, you should not title this section as such in your paper. Please title the sections below:

Describe a Problem in Your Field of Professional Practice

Describe your chosen problem within your field of professional practice in a concise and meaningful manner. When describing the problem, be sure to explain why it is a detriment to professional practice.

Analyzing Two Research Reports

Analysis of Article One

Your analysis should cover the following points:

  • A brief summary of the article.
  • A description of how the researchers researched the issue.
  • How many participants were involved in the research project?
  • How the researchers gathered their data.
  • The findings of the research project.

A thorough evaluation of a research project includes recognizing the strengths and limitations of the research project. You may consider including this in your analysis.

Analysis of Article Two

Follow the same guidance as offered in the section above for analyzing the first article.

Examining Transferability of Research Findings to Your Professional Practice

Discuss the extent to which the research findings of the two articles you analyzed offer insight into and solutions for the problem in professional practice you described at the beginning of this assignment. Be sure to address the following issues, and format your paper with a subsection for each:

  • Assess similarities and differences between the participants described in the research reports and the participants in your place of professional practice.
  • Assess the differences between the research sites and your place of professional practice.
  • Assess whether or not the participants and researchers have the knowledge, experience, or expertise necessary to inform your professional practice.
  • Discuss whether or not the research findings offer insight into developing meaningful and creative solutions to the problem in your professional practice.
Conclusion

Briefly describe the key principles to apply when you are using research results to improve your professional practice.

Be sure to include a reference section on a separate, final page per APA format.

Include the following for each resource in your video:

  • Summary of the resource, including links and relevant information needed to access it
  • How the resource will support content and skill development, particularly in humanities
  • How the resource will engage students and support learning
  • How the resource will foster innovation and problem solving

Strategic Planning/Budgeting

For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating budget starts with revenue and then shows each expense type. This includes variable costs—or the costs that vary with sales—such as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the noncash expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its projected net income and net profit percentage.

Instructions

Imagine you are the health care administrator for a nonprofit clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first task is to locate the strategic plan for that organization or determine its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission or purpose statement, and strategic priorities or goals. You will also need the audited financial statements for the organization. Using the information from your research, develop a one-year operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic plan or strategic direction.

  • Upload the strategic plan or strategic direction and audited financial statements as an attachment or include the Web link.
  • Complete your operating budget using Excel.

I would use the financial statements from the organization and make changes to it for the operating budget.   Let’s say you chose a OSC, you could look up to see the future trends.  Let’s say they are calling for a 10% increase in cases, how would that impact your operating budget.  Will it lead to more revenue?  How will it impact your costs? You would find those categories on the the financial statements and incorporate that into the budget. If the we are expecting more cases, then your revenue would increase.  It would also increase certain categories of expenses. Make the adjustment to the current number and put that in the template for the operating budget. The Excel template should be available, via an announcement, tomorrow.
