Select a Mafraq hospital for which you will review and develop a strategic plan. If you are affiliated to a hospital, it is preferable that you select it as your study setting. However, it is imperative that the study hospital be one in which some strategic planning has been carried out. The three assignments are all parts of the hospital strategic plan and should be conducted in the same setting.

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:

- Review 4 articles on children and musicking in early childhood and critically analyse them Assignment – 2000 words due 25 March The places and roles of the arts in young children’s lives can be conceptualised in many ways in the twenty-first century. It is essential for early childhood teachers to understand this variety and position children’s arts learning opportunities appropriately. As you work through this unit, you should be constantly looking for additional readings related to topics in the learning materials, from appropriate, peer-reviewed journals or scholarly books to extend your thinking. Keeping a summary of the bibliographic details and content of each would be a good idea. For this task, you are required to use four journal articles or book chapters that pertain specifically to children and musicking in early childhood and critically analyse them. For each article or chapter, you should: 1. Summarise the content of the article/chapter. 2. Explain how this particular approach to young children and their musical cultures/learning fits with contemporary views of children and childhoods. 3. Outline your reaction as an educator to this article/chapter and link this to changes you might make in your practice. 4. Name one issue that was raised in the article/chapter that has given you pause for consideration. Explain the issues and where and how you are going to find further information to resolve this. This Assessment Task relates to the following Learning Outcomes: • Demonstrate a critical appreciation of the expert body of knowledge focusing on the arts in early childhood. • Demonstrate a sound understanding of the ways in which young children use art forms to explore, create and communicate about their worlds. Please follow these guidelines when you submit each assignment: • Allow a left and right-hand margin of at least 2cm in all assignments. • Please type all assignments using 12-point font and 1.5 spacing. Need to link back to the framework below: Early Years Learning Framework http://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/belonging_being_and_becoming_the_early_years_learning_framework_for_australia.pdf (you will be familiar with this document but please browse through and start to think about working with children 2 -¬- 5 years Excerpt from lecture: Music and the EYLF So far, we've been talking about music learning and teaching in general and how we should be thinking of musick instead of music. But what about the local regulatory context? As you know, there are a number of regulatory considerations regarding early childhood teaching in Australia and in NSW, an important consideration is how we utilise the EYLF. This document will not be something new for you, as you will have become somewhat familiar with it in previous units of study. So now it's time to drill down a little deeper than before, and contemplate where music sits in relation to the EYLF, specifically, what outcomes are related to music and how.
