You will choose one of the surveys and analyze the construction and validity of one of the survey

ou will choose one of the surveys and analyze the construction and validity of one of the survey items/questions and its associated answer options. Do not answer the survey questions; rather you will analyze one item/question on one of the surveys.  For your initial post, review the following two surveys covering social justice and career considerations:

Survey: Social Justice in the United States Survey: Careers Choose one of the surveys to analyze in the discussion. Include the title of the survey you select in the title of your post. Answer the following questions about the survey you chose. Note: Unlike for the other discussions in this course, you must start a thread or complete your initial post to read and reply to your peers’ posts.

What one item/question you would change to improve the survey? Describe how the item/question is currently written and how it would be written if you changed it. Explain why you would change this item/question based on what you have learned in the course about creating a good survey. Use key terminology and concepts from your reading to explain your rationale for the improvements. Cite and reference your sources. Think about the one item/question you selected to revise. What is the scale of measurement for this item/question (categorical, ordinal, interval, ratio) as it was originally written? What do you notice about the item/question that leads you to believe it is categorical, ordinal, interval, or ratio? Use sources to support your reasoning. Will your revision to the item/question change the level of measurement? Explain how the level of measurement would be the same or different with your revision. Use sources to support your reasoning. How does appropriate survey construction relate to the programmatic theme of ethics?

DISCUSSION 2 NEED 2 PARAGRAPH

Given the fact that Medicare and Medicaid cover the elderly and the indigent and CHIP covers children, explain why is there such pushback to compulsory (universal) health coverage in the United States.

You started your capstone phase by posting a first draft of your problem statement. While there will be many more drafts and revisions, having started the process of finding a topic is catapulting yourself forward in the doctoral program.

ou started your capstone phase by posting a first draft of your problem statement. While there will be many more drafts and revisions, having started the process of finding a topic is catapulting yourself forward in the doctoral program. It is of utmost importance that you consider the feedback from your instructor carefully. Every word matters!

Please keep revising your problem statement based on your instructor’s feedback. There will be many more revisions.

A problem can only be investigated in a capstone study if you have solid evidence that it exists.

In addition to you identifying the problem (for example, through personal communication at your local site), the problem must be considered a problem in the educational discipline by published research. Your work builds on, and adds to, the work other scholars have done. To determine if your research problem is current, you need to search the most recent peer-reviewed literature. At this point in your study, seek reference literature that has been published within the last 3 years.

The university library provides information on how to use Boolean terms to narrow your searches of recent peer-reviewed literature: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/library/keyword/booleanLinks to an external site..

Your topic must be aligned to the specialization you enrolled in for your degree program.  For example, if your specialization is Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment then your topic must focus on either Curriculum, Instruction, or Assessment. You would not be able to study “retention of biology professors at research universities” as a topic. A list of topics appropriate for your specialization is located on our website at: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/research-center/program-documents/eddLinks to an external site.. Click on “Students Working on Prospectus Form”.

If in doubt, please reach out to your specialization coordinator. Their names and email addresses are also available on our website.

Before you search the literature, you should complete the lesson on “Critical Reading” which you can find at:

You’re a business consultant, and your new task is to teach a group of interns how economic events impact economic activity and economic concentration. You’ve decided to present the information in writing with visual aids. (Tip: charts and tables

Competency 1 Assessment Instructions

You’re a business consultant, and your new task is to teach a group of interns how economic events impact economic activity and economic concentration. You’ve decided to present the information in writing with visual aids. (Tip: charts and tables would help illustrate data for the interns.)

Create a 2-part report.

Part 1: Economic Events & Activity Analysis

Review the Learning Resources folder.

Write a 500- to 750-word analysis assessing how 2 major economic events influenced supply, demand, and economic equilibrium in U.S. economic activity. Choose your 2 events from the list:

Rapid price increases (examples: the 1973 oil embargo; the aftermath of a major hurricane) Dramatic employment drops (example: the 2006 housing bubble burst and the Great Recession that followed) Crippling interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve (example: 1975–1985) 1991 Collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and the “peace dividend” The dot-com bubble from 1994 to 2000 and the dot-com crash that followed Part 2: Economic Concentration Evaluation

Select 1 economic concentration (or “cluster”) from the list:

Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia, WA aerospace/defense industry Advanced logistics and supply-chain hubs in the U.S. Write a 700- to 1,050-word evaluation of how your chosen economic concentration evolved. Specifically, focus on the role of the 4 factors of production. Complete the following in your evaluation:

Analyze how the economic concentration was influenced by competition and pricing. Analyze how the economic concentration influenced the supply chain. Analyze which of the 4 factors of production were the most and least important in determining the economic concentration. Predict changes you anticipate for the area of economic concentration you chose. Support your predictions. Note: You may need to do additional research outside of course resources for some of the above topics.

Cite your sources.

Make sure to give credit to any sources you use by including both in-text citations and a list of references. You can see how to do this in the APA 7 manual or in the University Library. Here’s a quick example: In-text citation example: According to Hubbart (2023), resistance to change is . . . Reference example: Hubbart, J. A. (2023). Organizational change: The challenge of change aversion. Administrative Sciences, 13(7), 162. https://doi.org/10.3390/admsci13070162 You don’t have to follow this citation style perfectly, but it’s important to show which ideas are yours and which come from other places when you’re doing your assignments. Make sure you have addressed all the parts of the grading rubric.

Note: To pass a competency assessment you must receive at least a Meets Expectations (ME). You can resubmit your competency assessment a maximum of 2 times. You will receive feedback for your competency assessment. Use that feedback to make improvements before revising and resubmitting. This is an opportunity to learn and build mastery.

MKP3 — MKP3 TASK 1: EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND NURSING EDUCATION
EMERGING TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN 21ST CENTURY NURSING EDUCATION — C922 PRFA — MKP3
Preparation Task Overview Submissions Evaluation Report
COMPETENCIES
7057.1.1 : Recognize Educational Developments
The learner recognizes the impact of trends, significant challenges, and developments in educational technology in higher education in the 21st century.
7057.1.2 : Propose Nursing Education Strategies
The learner proposes strategies for academic nursing education programs to address the current and future challenges faced by nursing practice.
7057.1.3 : Initiate Change
The learner collaborates with nursing leaders in diverse healthcare settings to initiate change through policy efficacy that strengthens nursing practice and advances the future of healthcare.
INTRODUCTION
Academic nurse educators serve an important role as leaders and agents of change within an organization, often a school of nursing. Many of the challenges in nursing education are the result of trends, clinical demands, and developments in educational technology in higher education in the 21st century. Within nursing education, there are also evolving technologies in healthcare, an expanding scope of practice, and legal-ethical issues, which all affect the quality and safety of patient care. Nursing program curricula must be continually revised to reflect these changes and ensure graduates from nursing programs are able to successfully enter the job market.
For this task, you will propose the integration of technology into curriculum to benefit an academic nursing education program. The change will be implemented in the course “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health,” which was created in the previous MSNEDU courses. You will use five peer-reviewed articles published within the last five years to review current and emerging educational technologies recommended by professional organizations. Then you will use this information to identify and propose the new technology integration to support the curricular change. An analysis of organizational readiness for change to “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health” should also be included.
Note: You must submit and pass C921 before submitting the task in C922.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must represent your original work and understanding of the course material. Most performance assessment submissions are automatically scanned through the WGU similarity checker. Students are strongly encouraged to wait for the similarity report to generate after uploading their work and then review it to ensure Academic Authenticity guidelines are met before submitting the file for evaluation. See Understanding Similarity Reports for more information.
Grammarly Note:
Professional Communication will be automatically assessed through Grammarly for Education in most performance assessments before a student submits work for evaluation. Students are strongly encouraged to review the Grammarly for Education feedback prior to submitting work for evaluation, as the overall submission will not pass without this aspect passing. See Use Grammarly for Education Effectively for more information.
