Psychology Question

For this Assignment, you will analyze observational data and chart the data of 3 different high school students. You will visually interpret the data and write a paper of your interpretation that includes an explanation of the data and results and conclusions from your analysis.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Learning Resources for this week, including the required weekly media programs, to gain an understanding of methods for visually analyzing data. Note: It will be important for you to also take the time to review all of the required media programs for this week prior to completing this Discussion.
  • As you review the Learning Resources, specifically focus on the data from the Assignment Data Excel spreadsheet and consider both the raw data and the charted data.
  • Consider the following scenario for this Assignment:

A significant percentage of US students are not reaching expected proficiency in mathematics content.  As a response, educators have been urged to use more evidence-based practices; however, due to the lack of readily available strategies these efforts have been thwarted. In related fields video modeling (VM) has been successful in teaching behavioral skills through edited video clips that allow target populations to observe models successfully performing featured tasks. Stemming from Bandura’s social learning theory, the intent of VM is to increase the frequency of the modeled behavior through observational learning. The purpose of this research was to use a multiple baseline, across-participants design that featured varying baseline duration for each participant to examine the impact of VM on the math achievement of high school students. The sample included three students, ages 16-17. Student 1 had five baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. Student 2 had 10 baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. Student 3 had 13 baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. The dependent variable was a 10 item mathematics probe (Possible range 0-10).

Assignment (2–3 pages):

Write an analysis of the data and include the following in yourpaper:

  • Create a “Results” section as a heading to your paper.
  • Using visual analysis, interpret the data and draw any inferences as suggested by the data in the spreadsheet pertaining to each individual student. Use the criteria provided by Dr. Little in this week’s Visual Analysis & Interpretation media program (Changes in magnitude {mean & level}, changes in trend, changes in latency, & PND).
  • Write up your results and conclusions.

Support your Assignment by citing all resources in APA style, including those in the Learning Resources

Requirements: Two to three pages

I have attached the required readings including the mentioned media transcript, please feel free to use any extra scholarly resources, however, please make sure to cite it APA7.

Answer preview
The data provided in this text illustrates how the three students selected from the sample responded to their professor’s video modeling (VM) strategy. Having shown undesirable proficient in mathematics, the VM was used to improve their outcomes. After applying the VM strategy, Student one shows a gradual improvement after the intervention session and a steep decline towards the end of the treatment. In the case of the student, the data presented show that the student had an unstable baseline which varied from the mean of 6,7, and 8. The intitule test indicates that the mathematics proficiency score for the student was eight, which later declined to 7 in the second test, later increased to eight, and slumped to seven again. At last, the student
