Community Based Intervention

233
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

The Scientific Method

255.0K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

The Scientific Method

64.0K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Parental Involvement
  • Science Communication

Background:

  • Parental engagement in STEM is crucial for student interest but often hindered by confidence, language, or cultural barriers.
  • Teacher Enrichment Initiatives (TEI) gather teacher feedback on parental involvement during science nights.
  • This feedback informs the development of science night training programs for educators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the implementation of a Science Night program in a majority-minority elementary school.
  • To assess the impact of teacher-developed, TEI-supported science nights on parental engagement.
  • To identify factors contributing to the success of school-based STEM outreach events.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative, single-case study approach was used.
  • Data collection occurred during the inaugural and third year of the Science Night program.
  • Teacher feedback and program attendance/engagement metrics were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Science Night attendance increased from 700 (2016) to 800 (2018).
  • Parental engagement in hands-on STEM activities rose from 46% (2016) to 62% (2018).
  • Teachers utilized program data to secure grants for sustaining the annual event.

Conclusions:

  • Science Nights serve as an effective mechanism for promoting parental engagement in hands-on STEM activities.
  • Teacher input and involvement in designing the science night model are critical for program success.
  • This model can be replicated in diverse elementary school settings to foster STEM interest.
