- Memo Order Description Article: How Industries Change by Anita M. McGahan https://hbr.org/2004/10/how-industries-change Write a memo to the author, which discusses how one issue (no more!) in the article relates to a topic in this course. The memo ought to be about eight paragraphs long. In the first half, describe the issue from class to the author, perhaps as we discussed it, or as the assigned materials described it. There needs to be enough detail such that someone who has not taken this course can understand the topic well. Then use the remaining paragraphs to explain how the article relates to the issue. If the author agrees, explain the specific points. If the author disagrees, describe the points of contention and perhaps the cause. If the author adds a dimension, explain that. For example, “Our text says that to achieve A we must do B and avoid C. Your article generally agrees but adds that in situation D, we must not forget to do E as well,” could be the introductory sentence summarizing both halves. There is no value in summarizing the article since the author is intimately familiar with it, but the author is not at all familiar with this course or its materials. To recap, I am not looking for a summary of the article but an analysis of how the article supports what we learned in the course, how it disagrees, or how it adds to it. Your supporting arguments consist of specific items from the course and the article, and perhaps from your own experience. Be sure to cite the article as well as every word, fact and idea in the memo which is not your own, and to explain any quotations rather than merely let them speak for themselves. Q. You mention the first half of the memo is to describe an issue from class to the author, meaning related the article with class topics? A. You will find a topic in the article which we have covered in class. The first half is to describe that topic to the author. For instance, the article might discuss mission statements. In that case, the first half would describe our definitions of the vision and mission statements. It is the second half of the memo which relates the article to the topic from class.
- Question: Q: Chapter Chapter 11 of Mertler and Vannata; answer exercises on pages 306 and 307: This exercise utilizes the SPSS data setprofile-e.sav, which can be downloaded from this Web site: www.Pvrczak.com/data Conduct a Forward: LR logistic regression analysis with the following variables: IV—age, educ, hrsl, sibs, rincom91, life2 (categorical) DV—satjob2 Note: The variable Iife2 is categorical such that dull = 1, routine/exciting = 2, and all other values are system missing. Develop a research question for the following scenario. Conduct a preliminary Linear Regression to identify outliers and evaluate multicollinearity among the five continuous variables . Complete the following: a. Using the Chi-Square table in Appendix B, identify the critical value atp< .001 for identifying outliers. Use Explore to determine if there are outliers. Which cases should be eliminated? b. Is multicollinearity a problem among the five continuous variables? Conduct Binary Logistic Regression using the Forward: LR method. IV—age, educ, hrsl, sibs, rincom91, life2 (categorical; last is the reference category) DV—satjob2 Note: Make sure that any outliers identified in Exercise 2a are removed from data before running the logistic regression. Also, designating life2 as a categorical covariate with the last category as the reference, essentially makes "routine/exciting" = 0 and "dull" = 1, so interpret the results accordingly. a. Which variables were entered into the model? b. To what degree does the model fit the data? Explain. c. Is the generated model significantly different from the constant-only model? d. How accurate is the model in predicting job satisfaction? e. What are the odds ratios for the model variables? Explain.

- Article Review Order Description For this assignment, you will select a research study and write a review/critique. You should provide an overview of the research study, including how the research was conducted and a summary of the findings. Then, you should provide your thoughts on article. What were the strengths of the study? What were the limitations of the study? Attached, you will find a research study/article tracking sheet. You may find this helpful as a way to outline your ideas before writing your review/critique. Also, these are several article review/critique samples: https://www.westga.edu/~kielborn/studentexample.html https://www.sagepub.com/eic/14/Chapter14_Critique2.pdf Article 5 The Nuts and Dolts of Teacher Images in Children’s Picture Storybooks: A Content Analysis References Sandefur, S.J., Moore, L. (2004). The nuts and dolts of teacher images in children’s picture storybooks: A content analysis. Education, 125, 41-55. Sample/ Population 62 children’s books and 96 images of teachers (Titles provided) Purpose How are teachers portrayed in the narratives and images found in children’s storybooks? Hypothesis – a propensity of images painting teachers in an unflattering light may have broader consequences on cultural perceptions of teachers and schooling. Children’s storybooks are not benign. Procedure/ Methodology/Study Type Qualitative – Ethnographic content analysis Variables/Instrumentation/ Definitions Findings Research Parameters – Teacher representation based upon: appearance, language, subject, approach, and effectiveness. Absence of data also noted. Inter-rater used to validate findings. Ethnographic Content Analysis – requires a reflexive and highly interactive relationship between researcher and data with the objective of interpreting and verifying the communication of meaning (34). Apprenticeship-of Observation – images and stereotypes acquired from a person’s experience with literature and media (33). Inter-rater – Professional who works independently of other researchers to validate findings (35). • Teacher in children’s picture storybooks is overwhelmingly portrayed as a white, non-Hispanic woman. • The teacher who is sensitive, competent, and able to manage a classroom effectively is a minority. • The teacher is static, unchanging, and flat. • Teacher is polarized. • Teacher does not inspire the pursuit of critical inquiry (32 – 36). “If those images children and parents see of ‘teacher’ are generally negative, then they will create a ‘world view’ of ‘teacher’ based upon stereotype” (33). “Teachers cannot effectuate positive change in their profession unless and until they are aware of the internal and external influences that define and shape the educational institution” (37). Children’s book list is provided. Detailed report on findings with specific titles used as examples. Limitations Further Research Abstract and purpose was multifold and at times disjointed. Appeared to be strong predisposition toward finding negative stereotypes before research is completed. How are educators portrayed in more advanced literature or in other cultural media genres? Do teachers in other countries face the same stereotyping? What has been the progression over time of teacher images? Promising related references:
