Part I. For this assignment, complete a web-based program called CITI.

All individuals planning to conduct research must complete a web-based program called CITI, a Course in the Protection of Human Research Subjects. The course may require 4-6 hours to complete but does not have to be conducted in one session. You will be completing required modules for the Social and Behavioral Sciences; note that there are optional modules and there are modules you may complete for Biomedical Research.

The IRB may require additional modules if needed for your research investigation.

If you have successfully completed CITI in a previous course, you may submit the earlier certificate of completion.

Part I:

When you complete the course, you will see a screen containing your certificate of completion. Save this page. Then upload the saved file to your Mentor as the first part of this Activity.

Part II:

Consider any ethical concerns for your intended research topic, review the IRB Application, and send a brief written description of any ethical concerns as the second part of this Activity. (Research Topic: Investigate if it’s useful or not to appoint female coaches to male teams. What problems may appear?) I am pro women!!

Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages.

References: Minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.

Resources:

! Discuss teaching strategies appropriate for the identified diversity area and how these could be applied within an inclusive classroom environment – strategies need to be practical and realistic (i.e. can be implemented by the classroom teacher, within a classroom environment, and without additional financial or human resources). Additionally, discuss how teachers can engage with parents/carers to better understand student need, and support student learning.

Case study

Mark has been an excellent student throughout high school. He has been captain of the cricket team and very popular amongst his class mates and teachers.
Last year things seemed to fall apart. His grades fell and he didn’t seem to be able to concentrate on study. His mother was concerned and took Mark to the local GP who couldn’t really see what was wrong. He gave Mark an antidepressant drug and said he would like to see Mark in a couple of months.

The antidepressant didn’t seem to help much. Mark’s mother noticed a few other things. Mark seemed to have some odd thoughts – he said he could hear things and became upset when she told him she couldn’t hear them. Mark became more withdrawn and stopped going out with his friends. He spent a lot of time in his room. His mother thought perhaps he was studying but he wouldn’t talk to her about what his school work was about. Sometimes Mark is quite animated. He talks excitedly about science projects and says he has some unique ideas but that he can’t talk about them in case someone steals them. Mark has done well in science so his mother thinks he probably does have some good ideas but is puzzled as to why he won’t talk about his ideas.

His mother doesn’t know what to do or where to go for help. His exams are coming up and she is concerned that he doesn’t seem to be studying or focussing.
