Effects of Research in Educational Psychology on Learning Braden R. Andrews Liberty University The purpose of the study conducted by Pedro Blanco and Dee Ray was to examine the effects of Child-Centered Play Therapy or CCPT on 1st graders who were academically challenged. Forty-three academically at-risk children were selected from Title I schools for the study. Students were deemed academically at-risk if they had been held back, did not perform well on stadnarized test, or if they were in custody of the state. The Young Children’s Achievement Test (YCAT), a comprehensive test that measures early academic achievement levels in children ages 4-8, was used as the testing instrument. After parental consent was received, each participant was administered the YCAT as a pre-test.
b) Does the range rule of thumb overestimate or underestimate the standard deviation for shoe sizes of females? c) How does the shape of the distribution impact what you conclude? 10. Using measures of center and measures of variability compare the number of hours on school work (Q11) and the number of hours watching television (Q14). a) Which variable has greater variability?
The author asked these four students the same set of five questions to determine if each one’s response would match the appropriate cognitive development stage established by Piaget. The results of the study proved that Piaget’s theory of cognitive development had some flaws as mentioned by Slavin (pg. 37). INTERVIEW PROJECT 3 Interview Project: Results from Interviewing Four Students from Pre-K to High School Interview #1 For the first part of the project, the author interviewed a four year old preschool student. The author asked the student five questions and recorded the student’s responses to each question.
The second study to be considered was completed by William Corsaro in which the ethnographic method was used. The research by Bigelow and La Gaipa was similar to that of Corsaro’s as not much research had been done prior to their investigations within the study of friendship in children. However these investigations differentiated in the method of how data was obtained and portrayed. In 1975 Bigelow and La Gaipa requested 480 children, with an equal range of girls and boys, aged between six and fourteen years to write essays on friendship. They requested 60 students each from eight difference schools, 30 boys and 30 girls, from eight different areas in America.
The first question we asked was “what grade are you in,” which helped us figure out how much learning they have had. The second question was “what is your cumulative GPA,” which helped us know how well they do in school and what kind of grades they get. The third question was “how many school days a week do you eat breakfast,” is a well needed question to know if they regularly eat breakfast in the morning before school. The final question was “what gender are you,” which helped split up the subjects and create more data. Results We surveyed 53 students.
Explain how this measure (these measures) could answer the question. Start with stating your question clearly. I was curious to see if boys or girls at ASIJ had a higher average GPA. After collecting the data we found that in our sample the average GPA for girls is 3.58 and for boys is 3.47.

We can find these by assigning 3 numbers to x and solve for y and then plug them into the equation each time to see that they work.

This paper will summarize the article and Lu’s findings, describe the intervention strategy, and whether or not I would consider this type of strategy as an instructor of young children. Lu (2010) begins her study with observation in each of the classrooms of the three first grade students for a one week period. All three students were from middle socioeconomic families and although they were in separate classrooms with different teachers, each had been labeled as having “low motivation, little confidence, less engagement, were very restless, and were labeled with reading and writing disability “(p.2). Before beginning instruction with these students, Lu (2010) felt that much could be learned by interviewing the students and finding out their interests and preferred learning styles. From these interviews, she was able to obtain some basic information about the three students interests such as pets, friends, relatives, activities, vacations, celebrations, favorite television programs, and so forth.
