Homework Assignments/Articles Review:

Homework-assigned articles reviews will be graded on the following criteria:

It is recommended that articles come from a current event topic related to Airport Planning and Management. Examples include Airport Security, Airfield Operations, Aircraft Accidents, ARFF, and/or Noise Compatibility. Other topics covered in the text may apply (must coordinate with the professor before using something outside the issues mentioned).

Remember that an article analysis is NOT a summary of the article.

1. Identify the author’s thesis

2. Discuss the facts in the article that support the author’s thesis. In addition, discuss how the article’s points relate to the course content. If you include facts from the article, I should see some paraphrasing with in-text citations. Use APA for in-text citations. Are there resources with the article? Are they current?

3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article as it relates to the profession? Is there evidence of bias or faulty reasoning? In this section, you will need to bring in outside sources to either support the “truth” found in the article or “faulty reasoning.” What are others saying about this topic? Is there conflicting information out there?

4. Conclusions – concluding remarks regarding your review/analysis of the article.

The article review should be 2-3 pages long (not counting the Cover Page and Reference List) and include at least 3 References (original article and support of review).

Final Assignment (class 365)

PSYC 365

Research Paper: Final Submission Assignment Instructions

Overview

Now that you have thoroughly investigated and gathered research through the previous two assignments, you are ready to write a research paper addressing Classical and Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning Theories. This culminating assignment will provide a research foundation for your work in the field as a professional. Understanding foundational theories of learning is imperative to providing the best opportunities for learning in various settings. Completion of this assignment will improve research and communication skills while increasing your knowledge of these theories.

Instructions

Create a formal, current APA formatted paper using the following specifications and outline.

· Body of the paper should be a minimum of 8 pages (this does not include the title page or reference page)

· Current APA style is required.

· Minimum of 10 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles addressing Classical and/or Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning, published within the most recent 5 years, as well as the textbook, and the Bible, must be included in both in-text citations and the reference page.

· Websites are not acceptable sources.

· Do not include direct quotes. Instead, paraphrase information from the scholarly sources (using in-text citations) in order to demonstrate your mastery of each concept.

· Do not use first person. Write in a formal college-level essay style.

· Current APA Level 1 sub-headings must be used throughout the paper. The 6 main sections of the paper will address the following topics:

1. Historical Development of Each Theory—For each theory, discuss prominent persons and their corresponding historic contributions. Include how each theory developed over time.

2. Key Concepts of Each Theory—This section will focus on the major points of each theory. How is new information acquired? What are the goals of learning? What is unique about each theory?

3. Compare and Contrast Research Findings for Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning—This section will compare and contrast findings from the 10 peer-reviewed scholarly research articles. Do not copy your work from the annotated bibliography. Instead, integrate your findings as you compare and contrast research from the textbook and scholarly journal articles.

4. Learning Implications—This section will discuss the implications for how learning takes place in the classroom. How does Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning work to increase learning? How might a teacher encourage learning using concepts of motivational mechanisms and stimulus control?

5. Biblical Worldview—Discuss what the Bible says regarding learning behaviors in humans. How would a biblical worldview impact a learner? Use scripture in context and thoroughly explain application of the scripture.

6. Most Significant Learning—Explain one factor which you found to be the most significant information learned in this course. (Do not use first person.) Substantiate this decision with research support citing scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles and the textbook.

 

Use the following as an outline for your paper:
