Assignment:

All students complete an INRAP on 1 learning point on discussion board
All students – respond to two other student’s INRAP post(Omit for now, will be part two once student post are received)

NRAP (Integration, Reflection and Application) Assignment. This assignment is a way for you to demonstrate what you understand and take away from the content in each learning module. As you go through the module content you begin to integrate it into your thinking as you reflect on how it does or may apply to you as a nurse and going forward as an administrator. Each INRAP is a narrative.

There are four key areas that need to be covered in each INRAP:

Important learning,
Putting learning to practice,
Discussion of 2 other student’s post(omit for now, will be submitted as part two of this order once post are received), and
Aesthetics & mechanics.
The INRAP posting is due Wednesday by 10:00 pm. (word limit is 1000).

Each student must respond to two student’s INRAP discussion post (word limit is 200). This response is due by 11:50 pm Saturday of that week’s module. (Omit for now will be submitted as second part of this order once post received from other student)

2:First set of questions
1. Describe an example of tests-retest reliability.
2. If the correlation between test scores at Time 1 and Time 2 is 0.85, how would this be interpreted?
3. What are some problems associated with reliability assessed via the test-retest method?
4. Under what circumstances is reliability assessed via the test-retest method most appropriate?
5. What are the strengths and drawbacks of alternative forms reliability?
6. Why is internal consistency such an easy way to assess reliability from a methodological perspective?
15. If you obtained a reliability estimate of 0.80 on a test, how would you interpret it and use the test?
Second set of questions
1. If a Kendall’s coefficient of concordance of 0.70 is obtained, what type of data has been analyzed and what can be concluded about the reliability?
2. If a Cohen’s kappa of 0.70 is obtained, what type of data has been analyzed and what can be concluded about the reliability?
5. What is reliability generalization?
B. Compare and contrast inter-rater, test-retest, parallel-forms, and internal consistency reliability. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? (Yes, feel free to re-use material from your answers to the Kline questions.)
C. Is Snyder’s (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale reliable? Defend your answer. Be sure to define “reliability” and discuss Snyder’s choice(s) of measures of reliability.
D. Is Snyder et al.’s (1997) Children’s Hope Scale reliable? Defend your answer. Be sure to discuss Snyder et al.’s choice(s) of measures of reliability.
E. What can someone learn from this assignment that can be applied to evaluating research articles on your topic and selecting a measure to use in answering your research question of how internet addiction would lower the academic performance of students.
