Final Project Milestone Three: Intervention Strategy and Implementation Plan Draft

https://www.cebc4cw.org/program/fast-track-project/

Selection should be one of the programs presented in the efficacy section.
Ethics 1 should be an examination of the actual ethics codes (not principles) that you see as a concern in the selected program.

Narrative intends that you describe how you plan to implement the selected program in your community. Ensure that you have considered the setting, personnel, target population, length of time and capacity of your intervention program in order to improve this effort.

Training – what is required at hire, or what will the program supply to train those in the selected program (considering other factors like CPR training is good, but we want competence in the selected intervention).

Assessment is about the program rather than the participants. How will you prove to the people that fund your program that it is working. The use of a valid and established instrument to collect information on your problem, data collection schedules, and what statistics might be used to examine the data is the goal. Most of your efficacy articles would likely provide ideas or templates for this item.

You have had the opportunity to review all of the theories of behaviorism that were influenced by Skinner’s views of overt and covert behaviors. Critically analyze methodological behaviorism.

In your paper, address the following:

• Within your analysis, include a synthesis of Skinner’s radical approach to behaviorism with methodological behaviorism theory. DO NOT attempt to synthesize radical behaviorism with a process that derives from theory, like operant or respondent conditioning.

• Address the limitations and delimitations of methodological behaviorism, considering how it may or may not align with applied behavior analysis (ABA).

o Limitations are areas of weakness, missing information, or missing considerations.

o Delimitations are variables outside the boundaries of the theory. These aren’t limitations or weaknesses, but rather variables that are specifically not addressed.

• Address the criticisms and possible deficits methodological behaviorism relative to ABA.

• Describe how methodological behaviorism might be realigned or adjusted for use in applied behavior analysis (ABA).

• Evaluate costs and benefits of using methodological behaviorism in application of ABA.

Suggested Structure for Your Paper

Describe how well the theory applies to or explains your real- world observations or experiences. Does the theory readily explain what you saw or experienced? Or does your experience not quite map onto how the theory is described in class?

/in /by

Social Psychology

Part 1:

A description of two personal observations or experiences that you have made illustrating or exemplifying one social psychological principle or phenomenon covered in class. In other words, you will identify a principle or a phenomenon that you find interesting and write about two personal observations or experiences that both relate to this one social psychological principle or phenomenon.

Part 2:

An explanation of the theory that comes closest to accounting for your observations or experiences. Although you may use the textbook or lecture as a starting point for identifying theory, you must do some outside research to support this as well. This research will take the form of a literature review of your topic from scholarly (i.e., peer-reviewed) psychology journals. You should not rely on websites (e.g., Wikipedia) or “pop psychology” sources (e.g., Psychology Today). Your paper must cite at least two peer-reviewed journal articles. You should briefly describe the methods and results of these studies as they relate to the explanation of the theory.

Part 3:

An application of the theory you provided in part 2 to the real-world observations you described in part 1. To do this, describe how well the theory applies to or explains your real- world observations or experiences. Does the theory readily explain what you saw or experienced? Or does your experience not quite map onto how the theory is described in class? If there is a discrepancy between the theory and the event, why do you think this? How could we improve the theory to account for your experience? If your theory and observations do fit each other well, describe an instance in which the theory might not explain real world situations.

Organization:

Your paper should be well-organized, without spelling or grammatical errors. Recommend beginning with a brief introduction to the topic, followed by your descriptions of the events, the theory and supporting research that apply to the events, and concluding with the application of the theory to the events. You may use these headings to help organize your paper, if you like. You should use social psychological theories, concepts, and principles precisely. You must use proper APA style for your references in the text and the References list. The main body of your paper should be 5 double-spaced pages, and you should include a title page and references page, for a total of 7 pages.
