ade the claim that most middle school students who are bullied have low self-esteem. Clarissa questions the study, saying, “I am not sure that I am convinced. I am not sure you can really measure being bullied.” Quinn also questions the study, saying, “Which middle school students did they study? I am curious if they included both private and public school students.” Manish also is curious about the study, asking, “I wonder how strong the relationship is between bullying and self-esteem. Could you predict one from the other?” Clarissa’s concern is addressing which of the following? a. the study’s construct validity b. the study’s internal validity c. the study’s statistical validity d. the study’s external validity

the answer should be: The study's construct validity

A study's construct validity refers to the degree to which the experiments made in the study actually measures what it intended to measure. This can be seen on the study's standard of measurement and the correlation between variables used in the measurement and the actual phenomenon.

After hearing the claimed made by the teacher, Clarissa's immediately question whether the act of bullying can be measured.

She brought up an important point. The teacher never really specify what act considered as 'bullying'. Depending on people's perception, some consider a slight discomfort from social interaction might be considered as bullying, while other people might have the threshold.  Because of this, she can say that the study's construct validity is questionable.

Answer:

Fixation

a n a l    

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud was the founder of the psychoanalytic school of therapy which focuses on the unconscious which dictates most of our behavior and also focuses on the events from our childhood and how these events affect our adult behavior.

One of the main concepts of this theory is the concept of fixation, this term refers to the phenomenon that occurs when one person gets "stuck" in a stage of development because there was either a lack of attention during this period or too much attention.

On the other hand, according to the psychosexual stages proposed by Sigmund Freud, the a n a l  stage takes place from 18 months of age to three years of age and it's during this period where "potty training" starts. When this training gets too rigid, it can cause an a n a l fixation.

In this example, Jordyn will be 2 in a few weeks and her mother has a strict toilet training procedures in which Jordyn is immediately punished when she has an "accident". We can see that <u>Jordyn is in the a n a l stage of development (because of her age) and her potty training is too rigid</u>, therefore, she might end up having a fixation at the a n a l stage of psychosexual development.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of literature
Artist 52 [7]
Proponents of literature-based instruction usually focus on the importance of using authentic literature, rather than the "canned" variety found in basal textbooks and other programs. Books that are written to teach children to read tend to be boring, contrived and less vibrant than authentic literature. Authentic literature can also open doors for students by introducing them to different cultures, social structures and story lines.

Advantage: Higher Level Thinking Skills

Many teachers choose literature-based instruction because they feel that it addresses higher level thinking skills than basal level instruction. Rather than forcing children to give pat answers to basic questions about a story, literature-based instruction encourages children to think deeply and share their thoughts about a story. Reading authentic literature can improve vocabulary, reading comprehension, reading ability and language growth. In addition, literature-based instruction is much more child-centered, with the teacher as the facilitator or coach, rather than "the sage on the stage."

Disadvantage: Teacher's Perspective

From the teacher's perspective, teaching using a literature-based approach can be more difficult than using other approaches. First-time teachers may find it especially challenging, since literature-based approaches inherently have less structure than many other approaches. Teachers also may struggle with effectively assessing a child's progress. Because literature-based instruction is less widely used than other forms of instruction, teachers often spend hours choosing literature selections, as well as developing activities and evaluations that reflect the content.

Disadvantage: Scope and Sequence

Finding appropriate literature selections that address the skills that students need to learn can be challenging, and finding selections that actually build from one year to the next is virtually impossible. This means that using literature-based instruction may prevent students from building their skills in a systematic fashion, and they may miss out on some skills entirely. Especially as students advance to the next grade, they will feel a lack of continuity, which can prevent them from growing as readers, writers and thinkers.
