writer choice

For these two topics you need to decide on a single topic issue. At the moment – that would mean choosing either smoking and Saudi youth or maternal mortality in Saudi. Yesterday – I suggested that you might choose either an integrative literature review or a concept analysis. Reflecting on that – I would now argue that the integrative review is not really a viable option. I think that the best and most realistic way to successfully navigate both topics is adopting the concept analysis approach. The intention of a concept analysis is to clearly define the context of a clinical issue that is often mis-understood, confused – or there appears to be multiple meanings to it. I’m not sure if you could do that with smoking and youth or maternal mortality. If those terms are well defined and understood by most practitioners – then you might have to consider a different topic altogether. I am going to attach quite a few articles that relate to concept analysis (including one of my own) to give you an idea of what it involves. It is not an overly-complex research approach but, at the same time, it requires a lot of reading to fully understand its premise and criticisms. I’m just attaching some material in this email – there is plenty of other stuff on concept analysis out there in the nursing literature.

Part of the important rigour process of a concept analysis is a detailed and well reported literature search strategy – so I am attaching two further articles about good literature review process – and another article of mine demonstrating how you can order and ‘tabulate’ your key articles (which is essentially your key data). This is like the integrative review that I spoke of – except you are going to incorporate it into your practice project topic assignment.

For paper (4,500 words) – this will become an ‘overview’ of what the literature says about your chosen topic, detail of concept analysis and what it does – and justification of why you are using it and why you have chosen the particular concept analysis framework (there are several different ones to choose from and they all do different things) – and then a critical discussion.

For paper (9,000 words) – this will be detail of your step-by-step concept analysis process. Look to some of the examples I have attached to see what that will look like – depending on which framework you adopt.

I hope that this helps – and ask as many questions as you need to – to help you understand the task at hand. If you decide that you have to choose another topic issue to investigate – run it past me first. This process is not an easy one – but it does help us avoid ethics and having to collect data from human participants – which we would not have time to do given the current circumstances.

choose one subject which you think is an area of clinical practice that is either not well understood – or people mis-interpret its context.

It will be two separate assignments – but they are related to each other. The 4500 words assignment is a justification and critique of concept analysis – the second 9000 words assignment is the concept analysis itself. There will be some cross-over between the two i.e. similar literature review – but we can address that nearer the time.)
please now I need a new outline for each part one will be 450 words for the 4500 words and the other one will be 1000 words outline for the 9000 words it should be ready the outlines within 2 days however you can do the whole assignment within a week or more if u required an extension .please see the attached files .please all the sources must be published within the last 5 yaers from 2010-2015. cheers

Example and Analysis of a Disability

Create a unique title
Your paper should roughly follow this outline:
1.Introduce the myth you will be discussing, explain what it is, how it reflects attitudes toward disability, why disability scholars or activists might have a problem with it, why it is interesting and/or important to discuss. You should cite Dolmage’s explanation to help you, but don’t simply rely on him without elaboration; explain the myth in your words.
2.Choose a particular example from literature or media that seems to fit into the myth. This is a “primary text” and thus should not be something critical or analytical (a scholarly article, review, documentary, etc.). This can be any kind of cultural artifact or piece of “art”—story, poem, song, episode of a TV show, movie, a painting or image, etc. Or it may come from media, such as a news article, an online video or recording of a performance (such as the Miley Cyrus video), a post on Facebook, Twitter, or some other social media platform, a commercial or advertisement, etc
3.Provide a very brief summary of your text, followed by specific details to support how the text fits into the myth you’ve chosen
4.A brief conclusion that comments on how your primary text helps to understand or expand the nature of or relevance of your myth, and/or any questions for further analysis.

Models of Change

 
The ultimate purpose of professional development is to bring about positive changes in teaching that have an impact on student achievement. Having a model of how a desired change will occur can contribute to the success of professional development efforts. In this Application you will explore models of change as they relate to different models of professional development. You will also answer essential questions about a school or school system’s current professional learning practice

Identify the similarities and differences between the two models
Describe how having a model of change can help guide and support professional development efforts
Support your response with information from this week’s The Three I’s of Change video
Then, consider the various models of professional development you learned about in the “Faces of Professional Development in Education: Multiple Intelligences at Work” book excerpt and how the essential components of those models can help to bring about positive change. Which models are currently used at the school? How do you rate the professional development practices at the school you are working with, in relation to the “Model for Planning Results-Based Professional Learning” from your Becoming a Learning School course text? What trends did you notice in the ratings your Walden colleagues reported at their schools? What do the trends reveal? Which seem to be the most difficult components for schools to operationalize? Why do you think this is so?

Finally, based on your review of professional development design practices at the school you are working with, answer the following questions posed by Edie Holcomb (2009, p. 2).

Where are we now?
Where do we want to go?
How will we get there?
How will we know we are there?
How can we keep it going?
Note: Your responses will be based on your learning thus far about professional development models and your current perceptions about professional development in schools. You will have the opportunity to return to and refine these questions at the end of this course.

Submit the following:

Your comparison of two change models and a rationale for having a model of change
A brief analysis of professional learning design at the school and the trends you noticed in your Walden colleague’s responses about their schools
