SCED POSTER PRESENTATION
This assignment is an excellent opportunity to learn several important skills as an ABA scientist-practitioner. First, you will design an evidence-based research study that applies to a behavior reduction or acquisition target for a client. Then, you will create a poster presentation of your completed study. You will also create an annotated bibliography for your sources (instructions provided in the ). Finally, you will use Kaltura Capture to create a video presentation that further discusses the poster and the SCED that you designed. This is an excellent skill to learn as you enter the field of ABA and attend or participate in conferences for professional development.
ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS
For this assignment, you will construct a hypothetical (or actual) single-case experimental design (SCED) study that will be used to create a scholarly poster presentation. Choose one of the to construct your SCED and use the to organize the elements for your study. Alternatively, you may use a client you are currently working with; however, be sure that has been discussed with your instructor by the end of Unit 3 so that you can get specific guidance on the process.
Begin by conducting research and finding at least three peer-reviewed academic sources that provide an evidence-based analysis of the specific intervention that will be used to support the target behavior you will focus on for your client. Then, use the to build your poster presentation and use Kaltura Capture to record a 5-minute video presentation of your poster. Please read the assignment requirements for details on the guidelines and expectations.
Please include the following:
- Study title
- Provide a title for your study that reflects the dependent/independent variables and the subjects. For example: Use of Non-Contingent Reinforcement on the Perpetual Squawking of a Parrot with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
- Introduction
- Provide a rationale for why you chose this study, based on the literature that you reviewed. What makes your study a unique contribution to the field?
- Include your research statement phrased as: The purpose of this study is to.
- Be sure that it is clear what your study is looking to investigate or prove, and that both the independent and dependent variables are in your research statement.
- Methods/materials
- Include information on the participant(s), setting(s), materials, dependent variable, and procedures used in your study. Be sure to identify the experimental design you selected.
- Results
- Include a graphical representation of the data (hypothetical for the case study or actual if you are using a client) that meets ABA conventions for the selected graph(s).
- Do not copy and paste any data or graphs from outside sources.
- Provide a brief summary of the results.
- Include a graphical representation of the data (hypothetical for the case study or actual if you are using a client) that meets ABA conventions for the selected graph(s).
- Discussion
- Summarize the effectiveness and discuss the limitations of your study.
- Consider the pros and cons of the experimental design, the number of participants, the lack of generality, etc.
- Summarize the effectiveness and discuss the limitations of your study.
In addition to the completed poster presentation template, you will use Kaltura to present your discussion for each section of the SCED that you designed. Your 5-minute video presentation should include a clear and detailed overview of the following points of discussion as you review your poster:
- rationale of why the chosen design is appropriate for the study
- assessment of the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the chosen experimental design
- discussion of reliability and validity of the experimental design and the data
- a visual analysis of data of the within- and between-condition effects of the experimental design, including:
- a comparison of level, trend, and immediacy of effect
- a discussion of variability or stability of data within a condition
- a discussion of the percentage of non-overlapping data (PND) with reference to the overall effectiveness of the intervention
You will use the to organize and guide your discussion.
Please review and follow the assignment requirements in the next tab, titled Assignment Details.
You will submit each of the following into the Unit 9 Assignment Dropbox:
- The completed Unit 9 PowerPoint template
- An annotated bibliography (directions in template)
- A narrated Kaltura video presentation of your PowerPoint, recording yourself and your content simultaneously, with transcript provided
Your PowerPoint should include the following elements:
- Content: Answer all the questions, reflecting appropriate personal and professional insights.
- The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose. Your responses should reflect professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct, accurate, and reflect knowledge of skills and practice in applied behavior analysis.
- Presentations are visual; therefore, use clear, concise bullet points and avoid crowded slides. You may include the use of graphics and SmartArt to streamline information in a memorable manner. Additionally, images and diagrams are wonderful presentation tools, but be sure to include all required citations. Please review the resource for tips and suggestions. Submissions must be in .pptx format and no larger than 40 MB.
- Note: Visual effects and some dark-colored themes, such as Slate, may prevent Turnitin from fully processing a PowerPoint file and, consequently, from generating a Similarity Report. Review the to ensure a report will be generated.
- Use Arial or Times New Roman 24-point font.
- Use current APA formatting and citation style.
- Please use this helpful video resource, , to format a PowerPoint by applying current APA style to a title slide; body slides using bullet points, figures, tables, and copyright statements; and a reference list with hanging indentations.
Your annotated bibliography should include the following elements:
- Sources listed in current APA format.
- Include a minimum of three scholarly or academic sources to support your responses and conclusions.
- Use Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font.
- Use current APA formatting and citation style.
Your Video Recording should meet the following requirements:
The video recording should be in Standard English and communicate clear and logical information to the audience. Please aim to keep your video file between 5 and 7 minutes. You may use the Kaltura tool to create your video presentation, recording yourself and your content simultaneously. Please follow the instructions to use Kaltura Capture.
- Your video recording should consist of you narrating and sharing your screen of your presentation. Your narration should share key ideas expanding on the bullet points located in your presentation.
- Draw from the course material and briefly elaborate on the concepts covered.
- Be sure to convey an academic tone throughout that can easily be understood by speaking slowly, clearly, and confidently.
- Speaks loudly enough to be heard and clearly enough that the message is conveyed.
- Use clear enunciations and minimize any background noises or interference.
- Your video should also include professional insights, displaying proper word choice, exceptional content, organization, and style, leading your audience to a dynamic and supported conclusion.
- The communication of your thoughts must be highly ordered, logical, and unified.
- The recording should not be read, though you can write it down and practice it and/or use key information from the summary file to guide your recording. Additionally, please use the and the resources for help with preparing for your presentation.
NOTE: Record and submit your video following the directions given for Kaltura Capture.
- Please refer to the Kaltura Help Resources for Students section found under the Help menu in the top navigation of your course. This section provides helpful guides and videos to prepare you for using the tool. Refer to the following videos for help with recording and uploading your assignment.
- In the Kaltura Video section, watch the video titled Kaltura Capture to get started.
- Then, watch the video titled Uploading video or audio to Kaltura for assignment submissions”.
