Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. 

 Topic and Research Design Presentation and Rationale

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, it is recommended that you review the recommended resources for this week as they will assist you in the creation of an effective presentation of your Research Design.

This interactive assignment will provide you with an opportunity to create a dynamic presentation of some of the materials you are creating for your Research Proposal. This type of presentation would be used in the professional world to request Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, and potentially elicit funding, for your research.

In your presentation, summarize the main points and ideas for your Reseach Design. Over the course of the week, you will have the opportunity to share feedback and suggestions with your classmates and instructor, which may assist you in improving your research proposal before submitting the Research Proposal.

For this interactive assignment, create a presentation file using PowerPoint and then create a three- to five-minute screencast video of your presentation with pertinent audio that includes important points about the content of each slide. In order to make sure your video remains within the 3-5 minute time requirement, create a script for your screencast video. You must attach your script to your initial post. It is recommended you rehearse your presentation using your script to ensure that you are within the time limit and that all pertinent information is presented in a manner that is easy to understand. You may use any screencasting software of your choice (e.g., Screencast-O-Matic, Jing, etc.). A quick-start guide is available for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for your convenience.

The content of the presentation must include the following:

  • A brief introduction
  • Devise a specific research question related to the topic you chose in Week One.
  • Explain the importance of the topic and research question.
  • A brief literature review
  • Evaluate published research studies on your topic found during your work on the Weeks One, Two, and Four assignments and identify two relevant published studies.
  • A description of potential methods
  • Based on what you have learned about research design options and requirements in this course, create an appropriate research approach and design to investigate your research question.
  • Provide a rationale for your design choices.
  • A discussion on ethical issues
  • Apply ethical standards to the proposed research and identify potential ethical issues that would apply. Explain how you plan to address these issues.
  • A conclusion
  • Summarize the main points of the presentation and reiterate why the proposed research is important and why it should be carried out.

In your initial discussion post, introduce your presentation and provide a link to the screencast URL.Be sure to attach your PowerPoint presentation and script documents to your initial post.Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. 

Apply the scientific method to the research problem(s) presented and comment on the appropriateness of the research question devised. If the question devised does not seem appropriate and researchable, suggest another research question that would apply to this topic. Compare the characteristics of various appropriate research paradigms related to your colleague’s chosen topic and suggest another research method that could be applied to this research question. Provide a rationale that explains how this method may be equally or more appropriate for the research question. Evaluate the ethical implications of the proposed research and suggest other issues your colleague has not mentioned. Provide any other comments to your colleague that may assist him or her in creating a more effective research proposal.

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. In your replies to these comments to your initial post either respectfully defend your choices providing supporting information from your research, or explain how you might incorporate the suggested changes into your research proposal.

Assignment 2: Professional Licensure Plan

In this assignment, you will explore the requirements for licensure in the state where you plan to practice. You will develop a professional licensure plan (PLP) that helps you outline a sequential timeline for acquiring licensure.

Tasks: Utah clinical Mental Health Counselor Professional Licensure Plan (PLP) Web site: https://rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r156/r156-60c.htm#T5

  • Explain      the requirements and the sequence of the licensure process in UTAH where      you plan to practice. You must cite the source from where you obtain the      state licensure information.
  • Create      your PLP that reflects a detailed timeline of your route to acquiring      licensure. Your plan should begin with meeting requirements for the CMHC      program.
  • Include      details on:
    • The       required graduate course work for licensure in the state where you plan       to practice
    • The       number of required graduate credit hours for licensure in the state
    • The       names and types (e.g., multiple choice, case scenarios) of the state       licensing exams
    • The       number of years and hours of required experience after you get your       master’s degree
    • The       number and types of required supervision hours after the master’s       experience
    • The       person who is qualified and approved to provide supervision
    • Approved       settings for completing the post-masters supervision
    • Any       other specialty courses you must complete prior to obtaining licensure       (e.g., domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, laws and rules, etc.)
    • Number       of hours of continuing education you must complete in each licensure       period in order to have your license renewed
    • Crimes       that might or would prevent a person from becoming a licensed counselor
  • Frame      the timeline to include the following:
    • When       will you attend residencies?
    • When       will you take your last CMHC program class?
    • When       will you begin and finish the practicum/internship?
    • When       will you complete your portfolio?
    • When       will you graduate from the CMHC program?
    • When       will you take the state licensing exams?
    • When       will you meet the experiential and supervision licensure requirements?
    • When       will you expect to become fully licensed?

Your final product will be a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document written in APA format, utilizing at least three scholarly sources. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Week 5 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. 

 Evidence and Non-Evidence Based Treatment Options

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read both “Limitations to Evidence-Based Practice” and “Rationale and Standards of Evidence-Based Practice,”and listen to the Case Studies in Non-evidence Based Treatment Part One. On the last day of Week 5, listen to Case Studies in Non-evidence Based Treatment Part Two.

For your initial post, you will choose one of the case studies from this week’s audio file selection on which to base your remarks. Based on the available information, evaluate the symptoms and presenting problems for the patient in the chosen case study and propose a provisional diagnosis. Describe one evidence-based treatment for this diagnosis and provide a rationale for your choice. Research at least two peer-reviewed articles to support your evidence-based treatment selection.Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts, and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. 

Examine your colleague’s initial post, and assume the proposed evidence-based treatment was ineffective. Using a sociocultural perspective, provide an explanation for why the evidence-based treatment may have been ineffective in this case. Describe at least one non-evidence-based treatment option as an alternative to evidence-based treatment in this case. Compare and contrast the failed evidence-based treatment with the proposed non-evidence-based treatment option. Justify the use of the proposed non-evidence-based treatment option for this patient (i.e., How does this treatment option meet the patient’s unique sociocultural needs?).

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week, and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. Be sure to indicate whether your diagnosis and conceptualization has changed based on your colleague’s feedback.

Here’s a problem for all of us to chew on…. In examining the cognitive approach to the study of prejudice, we have learned that the tendency to categorize people is at the heart of ingroup favorability, stereotyping, and ultimately, discrimination. One possible solution to the problem of prejudice therefore may lie in “de-categorization,” a reduction of the human inclination to categorize people into social groups. This idea is the basis for the so-called “color-blind society,” where individuals avoid any reference to the social categories of themselves or others. As a result, the thinking goes, all people will then be viewed as members of the same race (i.e., the human race), and prejudice should “naturally” disappear. The question this week asks whether this notion of assimilation is a promising one for the future. Before answering, check out a brief, but informative, discussion of the assimilation vs. multiculturalism controversy in Kite & Whitley (2016), pages 563-566.
