This week is a broad overview of the different types of research questions that scientists can use. For this assignment, prepare a paper to briefly assess the three different types of research questions that scientists typically ask. Then, provide a research question about a topic of interest that fits within each of these three categories (one descriptive, one associative/correlational, and one causal/experimental question).
For example, if you want to examine when and where people smoke during the workday at your office, this would be a more descriptive question. You might also want to examine whether or not the frequency of smoke breaks throughout the day impacts employees’ productivity – or their ability to get the job done; this is more of an associative research question. Finally, you might want to determine if there is a causal relationship between smoking and the incidence of lung cancer. Here, you would need to perform carefully controlled experimental research with white mice in a laboratory setting to determine whether or not there is a higher rate of lung cancer among mice exposed to cigarette smoke than those who are not. In case you are curious, if you check the warning labels on cigarette boxes, they used to warn that there is an association between smoking and lung cancer. However, with the overwhelming abundance of conclusive scientific evidence based on carefully controlled scientific data, the warning labels now state that smoking causes cancer. This is a good reason to quit smoking immediately if you haven’t done so already!
In your three examples of research questions, be sure to describe the types of conclusions that can be drawn when asking these questions, discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative approaches to research, and where each research question fits within this dichotomy.

This week your task is to design an experiment you want to run using neuroimaging. Describe how you would run the experiement focusing on:
What is the question and key testable hypothesis?
How will you test this hypothesis? (What sort of imaging/measures/stimuli or experimental paradigm will you use? – e.g fMRI, block design, using visual stimulus)
If fMRI Will it be a Block design, or an event related design?
If a block design – how long will the blocks be? How long will you leave between blocks?
If event related – how many events? What sort of delay will you use between events?
If another measure – Longitudinal or cross sectional?
Why did you choose the type of design (block/event/cross sectional/longitudinal) that you are preposing?
What contrasts will you need to make to answer the question you are testing. (what comparisons?)
If space permits – a little section about how you would intepret predicted results is also useful. (e.g. Detection of activity in area Y from contrast 1 would imply that region is involved in processing for the task)
Be succint – bullet point is fine. No more then 2 pages is required. Figures or schematics setting out the experiment can be used.
Below (attached) is an example from a study perfomred at Bangor investigating regional blood flow changes as a result of Hypoxia across 10 hrs. The only thing missing here is the contrasts that were used. This was a paired T-Test comparison of the two time points between conditions (so Normoxia morning (1.5 hrs) V Hypoxia morning, and Normoxia afternoon (10 hrs) V Hypoxia afternoon).
An increase in CBF was predicted for Hypoxia, and would be interpreted as hemodynamic alterations made to to maintain Oxygen supply during Hypoxia. As the blood carries less oxygen in hypoxia, more would be needed to maintain supply.

Arab and Muslim Americans have been the target of much ridicule and hate over the last few years. Given your reading of this week please explain in your own words, who are Arab and Muslim Americans. Please address all the ways this cultural group is similar to you, and a few cultural nuances that you were not aware of before reading the assigned chapters. Please be sure to support your statements by citing your sources to include but certainly not limited to the text.

Your philosophy of education is the standards by which you plan, act, and react in your role as an educator. Whether you realize it or not, you already have a philosophy of education. It may not be written down or well thought out; nevertheless, you have a philosophy of education, a “framework of beliefs.”
This framework of beliefs or values is formulated over years of experiences. The input for this framework comes from many different sources. Ideas come from sources such as how your parents related to you, your religious convictions, your teachers and your experience in the classroom just to mention a few. What you learn in your teacher preparation program is also an important source for developing your philosophy of education. Hopefully, what you learn in your teacher preparation program will at times force you evaluate some preconceived beliefs/values you have about teaching and will challenge you to rethink those beliefs/values that may limit your effectiveness as a teacher.
By thinking through what you believe about teaching and writing it down in a concise statement is an important step toward teaching by design, rather than by accident.
Directions
What should a philosophy of education include?
How do you view the role of school in society? What are the purposes of education? How do we assure that schools serve all students well?
How do you view the student? What is the student’s role in his/her education? How do we assure that all students are prepared to assume that role?
How do you view the role of the teacher? How is this consistent with the above beliefs? What are the primary responsibilities of the teacher in a society that values diversity?
How will you design your curriculum, instruction, assessment and classroom management so that it will best maximize the learning of the very diverse population of students you can expect to find in your classrooms?
Given the diversity of families, how will you include them in the education of their children?
After considering these questions, develop an outline that describes your personal beliefs about teaching a particular grade level or subject. Do not write in generalities — be specific, so that your philosophy reflects what you value and hold important. At the same time, be sure that all of your ideas support what you value in education. Consider your audience to be your future employer, so be genuine in expressing your personal beliefs. Write a rough draft, specifying the age/grade/subject early in the paper. Check to see if there is a smooth transition from one idea to another. Ask a friend or classmate to proof your draft. Refine your draft from any feedback you received into the final document. The completed philosophy of education statement should be two to three pages in length double-spaced with one inch margins with a 12 point font. Use a font such as Times New Roman, which is easy to read and do not use a color other than black in your final document.
