video, and participate in the interactivity How to Read a Scholarly ArticleLinks to an external site., as well as the embedded video Identifying and Finding Quantitative and Qualitative ResearchLinks to an external site.. Refer to the APA Formatting TemplateLinks to an external site. to help you correctly cite journal articles.
This discussion forum is the first part of a two-part integration. The peer and instructor feedback you receive in this discussion forum will be integrated and submitted in this week’s written assignment. You must provide feedback on your peers’ initial posts by Day 5 of this week.
Begin to gather background information about the topic of interest and the research focus you identified in Week 1. This is the beginning of developing an understanding of the topic and a prelude to narrowing the topic. Identify three peer-reviewed academic journal articles that report on qualitative research studies that address the research topic or research focus of interest to you.
In an initial post of at least 300 words that incorporates and cites information from at least two required resources,
Identify and provide a complete APA citation for three articles that report on qualitative research studies that address your research topic or research focus. Consider accessing the UAGC Writing Center’s Formatting Your References ListLinks to an external site. for more on completing a complete reference citation.
Append your three articles to your initial discussion form post by Day 3.
The simplest way to post more than one file to a Canvas discussion is to zip the multiple files together and then upload them as a single file in your discussion post. Follow the How to Create and Open Zip Files on PC and MacLinks to an external site. for step-by-step instructions for zipping and unzipping files on either a PC or a Mac.
Identify the characteristics of each article that tell you the study is a qualitative research study, and not a quantitative research study, citing at least two required resources.
Assess how these three studies are useful in helping you develop a better understanding of your topic of interest or your research focus, and what you learned from each study.
Guided Response: Answer any questions your instructor has about your initial post. Review several of your classmates’ posts, prioritizing those who have not received feedback, and respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 5.
Each of your responses to your classmates should be at least 100 words in length. Indicate whether you agree that the studies identified by your classmate are qualitative research studies. Provide specific information to reinforce your assessment. Reflect on your classmate’s appraisal of the usefulness of each study.
You are encouraged to post your required replies early in the week to provide opportunities for interaction and further discourse within this forum. Continue to monitor the discussion forum through Day 7, and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
Compile your instructor’s and classmates’ feedback and navigate to this week’s assignment to complete Part 2.

Attached is the form you must complete. The first part is asking for my grades , i will complete that portion. Please complete the rest
*Please Use the attached sources relating to the 3 relevant research questions required for the assignment.*
**1 or 2 source substitutions are acceptable as long as the source is peer reviewed and relevent*
***3 research questions to be related to learning theories developed by Piaget, Vygotsky, or Information Processing.
1. Does the usage of the same tech device for entertainment impact the usage of the device for learning?
2.Do students, who take notes via laptop or other tech, perform better than students who take notes by hand?
3.Do online students perform better than on campus students?
Overview
For your rough draft, you will submit a complete proposal that includes all the required elements of the final proposal and incorporates any relevant instructor
feedback you received on Milestones One and Two. In your rough draft, be sure to address all the following critical elements:
I. Problem Statement
a) Describe the contemporary problem that is the focus of your proposal with full details with respect to your selected applied setting. Here,
consider how new developments or changes in your applied setting are creating new cognition-related challenges. For instance, you might note
that increased use of online education is presenting new challenges to students with ADHD.
b) Identify your selected area of cognitive psychology (attention, learning, memory, language, or decision making) and appropriate foundational
theories that apply to your selected problem. What are the foundational aspects of these theories, and how do they relate to your selected
problem? Carrying through with the previous example, you would indicate that your area of focus is attention and identify related theories that
can shed further light on the contemporary problem of attention demands on students with ADHD.
c) Describe performance issues in your selected applied setting based on limitations of human cognitive systems. What are some of the specific
issues related to your contemporary problem, the applied setting, and the limits of the human cognitive system? Here, you will further break
down your contemporary problem and explain how the problem relates to the applied setting, what we know about cognition, and how this
impacts performance.
d) Create a research question that addresses potential improvements to practices in the applied setting based on the strengths of human cognitive
systems. Remember that your research question should address your contemporary problem. For instance, in keeping with the previous
example, you might ask, “How can changes to online learning platforms better support increased attention to course materials for students with
ADHD?”
II. Contemporary Relevance
a) Evaluate the utility of the theories you identified when describing your problem with respect to their strengths and limitations. Here, revisit the
theories you noted in critical element I, part b. How do the theories you identified further explain the problems and performance issues you
identified? What are the strengths and limitations of each theory in helping to understand your identified problem?
b) Which particular theory offers the greatest utility for practitioners to apply in addressing real-world issues specific to the contemporary problem
you selected? Defend your selection.
III. Interpretation of Research Findings: Explain how each primary or secondary resource you selected supports your research question. This is where you
will apply sound methodological principles (by following the prompts below, a–b) to qualify the research results and statistical findings.
a) How do the research results and statistical findings apply to your research question and your proposed improvements?
b) Explain the strengths and limitations of the research results and findings in supporting the research question. This is where you will explain how
the research results and findings you have reviewed support your research question and identify specific gaps in the research. In other words, in
reviewing your sources, is there sufficient support for this research question? This is also where you will identify what research does not yet exist
that is necessary in supporting the application of your research question.
IV. Methodological Principles: This is where you will look at your research question (critical element I, part d) and determine what types of strategies or
techniques you would use if you were to hypothesize improving upon the problem in your selected applied setting. Here, you might propose an
experiment, a new program or initiative, or adoption of new tools/technologies. Remember, you are not limited to a controlled experiment.
a) What socially responsible strategies and techniques could be used for improving upon human cognitive processes specific to your applied
setting? Here, consider how you could implement your proposed solution in a way that does not further aggravate the problem or put
participating parties at risk of new problems or performance issues.
b) What are the implications for using these strategies and techniques? Consider, who and what about the applied setting would be impacted by
this proposed solution? What would change, and how might these changes be received?
V. Conclusion
a) What potential future direction do you see from implementation of your research specific to addressing the contemporary problem you cited in
critical element I, part a? Here, consider how implementation of your proposed solution or improvement can add to the existing body of
research on your topic. How might your proposed improvements and any follow-up research prove interesting to other applied settings?

Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) Assignment Instructions
Considering what you’ve learned about the peripheral and central routes to attitude change( the document I attached below), go onto the Internet and find one clip of a television commercial that utilizes the peripheral route, the central route, or both.
Submit a link to the clip along with a brief explanation (several sentences) of which route(s) the commercial uses and your rationale as to why the commercial uses the route(s). You will receive full credit if you are correct about the ELM route and if your rationale is accurate; points will be deducted for being inaccurate. A large majority of students use the peripheral route for this assignment so grading will be more lenient for students who use an example of the central route or both routes.
Note that students may NOT use the Family Guy Raisin Bran clip for this assignment. Students who submit that clip will receive a zero (0).
