Focus of the Final Paper
You are one of many training specialists in your company. You have been asked to design a training module for managers on how to meet the learning needs of their departmental employees. If chosen as the training module for the company, you will be granted a substantial bonus and a raise. For the written portion of your final assignment, you will create a training module design that includes a minimum of five principles of learning. These principles may include any theoretical elements that have been introduced to you in the course. Examples of principles from these areas are provided below:
• Behaviorism – repetition, reinforcement (feedback), association, and classical and operant conditioning
• Cognitivism – assimilation, accommodation, the information processing model, and intellectual stimulation
• Constructivism – scaffolding, metacognition, problem-solving and inquiry-based learning
• Humanism – holism, personal agency, and motivation
You may also wish to review the following online sources to guide you in making decisions for your training:
• Cognitivism
• Humanism in Education
• Workshop: Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning
• How to Use Behaviorism in a Classroom.
Your grasp of each of the five principles you include in your content, as well as the applied principles from your course activities, will be evaluated based on your assessment of learner needs, the accuracy of your description, and the application of each in a training scenario. Please download the “PSY331 Final Assessment Scenario” document to view the specific information for the employees and training. You should follow these steps to complete your assignment:
1. Determine which five psychological principles/elements you will apply to your training.
2. As you apply the principles to your activity, explain why you have chosen them based on your learner group.
3. Research your training assignment. You will be training managers on the importance of understanding how we learn and the importance of their employees’ learning styles and needs.
4. Research the employees you will be training (see the “PSY331 Final Assessment Scenario” document) and use critical thinking and creative strategies to solve potential training problems.5. Evaluate the different types of learning your employees exhibit and create a list of potential learning needs that should be considered as you begin designing your training.
6. Analyze psychological principles related educational issues and decide what learning styles and learner need content you should include in your training.
7. Apply basic research methods and gather resources that will support your content.
a. You must utilize at least four scholarly sources to support your proposed training course.
b. Cite your sources in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
8. Write your paper.
9. Pitch your idea through a great presentation.
A Suggested Outline
Through the use of headings and subheadings, you should be able to thoroughly explain what you would like to teach and how you will approach your training. Please see the “PSY331 Suggested Outline format” document for an example.
Focus of the Final Presentation
After completing your paper, it will be time to sell your idea. You will create a presentation with the goal of having your training module chosen for use by the company to train its management teams. For this presentation, you will produce a screencast presentation using PowerPoint and Screenr.com. You will only be allotted five minutes for your presentation, so you will need to showcase you ideas effectively. Learning how to market yourself and sell your ideas will be extremely advantageous to you in your current and/or future career, so you should think outside of the box and be as creative as possible in the presentation portion of this final assignment. Additionally, this final assignment will help you build technical skills that will potentially aid you in your current and/or future career.
Consider the following questions as you create your presentation:
• How will your training module “win out” over the other candidates for this project?
• What makes your training module great?
• In what ways are you able to meet all of your learners’ special needs?
• Is your training engaging? Why?
• How does your training consider the diversity of the learners?
• How does your training consider items such as the time it takes to go through each module and/or how it will impact employee work productivity?
• In real life, this pitch could mean a big promotion or bonus. How will you get this promotion? 15

Online
Create a script document and a PowerPoint presentation from your paper by highlighting the points that really show why your training is the best option. The script will assist you in creating a video presentation, which cannot exceed the five-minute time limit allowed for your screencast. The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of six content slides and must include the following elements:
• A minimum of five principles of learning you have studied in this course, which you included in your paper and applied to the development of activities you created for your training.
• The needs of your learners that were considered.
• An outline of the overall content for your learning material. Include at least five specific skills that will be addressed. (This is separate from your five applied teaching techniques.)
• A brief analysis of why it is important to apply learning theory to training/educating.
• A brief explanation of how your current understanding of learning theory may assist you in your future career.
Using Screenr.com, create a screencast of your presentation. Include a title for your presentation in the description box when you publish your screencast. Refer to the “Screenr.com Quick-Start Guide” for assistance.
Your presentation time is limited to five minutes, so it is highly recommended that you practice reading through your script prior to beginning the screencast capture. Please do not read your slides. This is boring, and it will not impress your manager. The slides should provide selling points that support the training module included in your paper. You should have put a lot of time and effort into your paper; the presentation is where you convince your boss how great it is and why the company should go with your proposal.
Copy and paste the URL link to your screencast at the top of your script document and at the bottom of the reference slide in your PowerPoint presentation. Although the reference slide must be present, you will not read through it due to the five-minute time constraint of the presentation. You must utilize at least four scholarly sources in your paper that are cited in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. All sources used within the writing assignment and/or presentation must be cited properly. You will submit both your written paper and PowerPoint presentation files for the final assignment for grading.

Doctoral Program Field of Study:
Dissertation Topic and Problem to Be Studied 1. What is the general topic/context of your doctoral dissertation study? There has been increased attention on the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) have on businesses and companies. This has been increased by the advancement in technology and increased use of technology by consumers. As such, organizations have embarked on ways, which can be used to increase their competitive advantage via the use of technology. Subsequently, the student deemed it necessary to undertake this study with the aim of assessing the link between organizational effectiveness, and the application of ICT. 2. What is the general problem or issue leading to the need for the study? Organization effectiveness is “the concept of how effective an organization is in achieving the outcomes the organization intends to produce” (Etzini, 2010, p. 124). In addition organizational effectiveness is one of the most critical elements in today’s business environments as organizations compete for effectiveness (Richard et al. 2009). Because organizational effectiveness is a key success for organizations, many organizations invest in research and development to determine the most effective ways to achieve organizational goals and objectives. Recent researches indicated the use Information and communications technology (ICT) could have great impact on organizational effectiveness (Mitchell, George E. 2012). The general problem is that other research indicated that the use of Information and communications technology (ICT) benefits in regards to organizational effectiveness is limited to certain industries (Thibodeaux, & Favilla, 1996). Manufacturing businesses is the type of businesses that is devoted to tangible production objects that includes high quality production standards and competitive cost (Thibodeaux, & Favilla, 1996). 3. What is the specific problem you will study? The specific problem is that many manufacturing organizations find the cost associated with implementing such technologies does not have great impact on its effectiveness (Thibodeaux, and Favilla, 1996). 4. What evidence is there that the problem actually exists (recent supporting scholarly citations)? The results will contribute to the international body of research and provide a new conceptualization and empirical evidence of the ICT and its effectiveness to organizations. The findings of the proposed study will contribute greatly to the body of knowledge within the field of ICT as well as that of business management. For instance, it will provide information that can be used by managers and other leaders in making informed decisions related to the use of ICT to increase effectiveness in the manufacturing organizations. Managers in sales department can use the findings to implement ICT tools that can be used to increase sales. Other students can also use the research findings in future to support their studies because it provides a theoretical framework based on quantitative research studies. 5. What is the gap in the literature the study will address? A number of studies have recognized that “communication based on ICT and the Internet can also improve external communication, reducing the inefficiencies resulting from lack of co-ordination between firms, and increasing the speed and reliability of information processing and transfer. In general, ICT reduces transaction and coordination costs, maximizing the value of the transactions” (Gargallo-Castel & Galve-Górriz, 2001, p. 261). Dissertation Purpose and Alignment With Problem 6. What is the purpose of the study? 7. What research questions will guide your study? 8. How will answering the research questions help you achieve the study purpose? 9. What variables or central phenomena will you study? 10. How will achieving the purpose help solve the problem or inform leaders in your field about the problem? Importance of Study 11. How will the study contribute to challenges and extend theory, practice, methodology, research results, knowledge, and/or understanding within specific arena of inquiry? 12. Why would leaders in your field of study care about solving the problem? Methodology 13. What method and design will you use to achieve the study purpose and address the studied problem? 14. What scholarly sources will you use to demonstrate your expertise of the study method and design? 15. Why is the method appropriate given the problem you are studying and the purpose of your study? 16. Why is the design appropriate given the problem you are studying and the purpose of your study? 17. How will you search the literature to gather germinal and recent sources on the problem and variables/central phenomenon? 18. What are the germinal and recent research findings on the problem? 19. What are the germinal and recent research findings on the variables/dependent variable/independent variable or central phenomenon based on the topic? Guiding Research Questions and Alignment With Study Purpose 20. What research questions will guide your study? 21. How will answering the research questions help you achieve the study purpose? Organizing Principles 22. Has the researcher demonstrated the acquisition and enhancement of vocabulary on the topic as well as of the selected methodology? 23. Has the researcher demonstrated a writing style free from bias or irrelevant evaluation? 24. Has the researcher followed current APA Manual guidelines for all citations, formatting, and writing style? Psy340 Week 1 Biological Psychology Worksheet

PSY104 Written Proposal Final Paper Week 5
$15.00Recreation and Family Center Proposal- Final Project
Your community is opening a brand new recreation and family center. Now that you are an expert in the field, you have been chosen to lead a development team that will create a proposal for interactive, fun, and educational activities and other features that will be provided for children and adolescents. Utilize problem-solving techniques in exploring developmental issues, grounded in child development, in order to assess what should be included in each room. Once you have chosen these features, you must present your ideas to a mock city council board with both a written outline of what will be included, and an interactive presentation that you can show them which will relate your ideas as well as the value of continued learning throughout childhood and adolescence.
Your proposal must include designs for the development of five different rooms in the recreation and family center which have been set aside for classes and activities for the following age groups:
Infant (0-1 year)
Toddler (1-3 years)
Early Childhood (3-6 years)
Middle/Late Childhood (7-12 years)
Adolescence (13-18 years)
There are two parts to your final project; a written script (Part A) and a visual presentation (Part B). In Part A, create a script for your visual presentation in which you identify and describe at least two weekly classes or activities for each age group that address their developmental pathways: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial. All three domains of development must be addressed within your classes or activities. For example, you may have one class which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second class which enhances physical development. You will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of the age group’s developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each class or activity in each room based on your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least one age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item to place in each room. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety elements as you deem fit. For each item you place in the room, your presentation will provide a picture and a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city and your script will provide an explanation for why the city should purchase the item for the room.
The overall goal of the written script and visual presentation is much like that of a grant proposal, in which a developer must convince the funding group that his/her new business or venture is both cost-effective and beneficial to the community. You are encouraged to be creative and persuasive in your script, but remember that everything must be supported by the theories and research covered in our class. Included in PART A is a Written Script template , demonstrating what information should be included in your written portion of the project. While you are expected to cite facts and include a reference page in your script, these do not need to be read out loud in your final visual presentation.
In addition to the written component of the assignment, Part B will utilize Prezi.com and Screenr.com to share your learning acquisition in child development with the members of a mock city council in an interactive proposal which visually and vocally presents the activities, classes, and products which should be available in each room. The Prezi program allows you to design your recreation and family center proposal as if you were guiding a visitor through each separate classroom. Your Prezi must include a picture of each room (appropriately labeled), while you will utilize Screenr.com to provide the voice-over description of what will be in each room. Below is a sample Screenr presentation, demonstrating how your own Prezi might look and what you might say in your proposal. (Please note that this is a sample only. No part of this video should be used in your own assignment.)
