Assignment 2: Action Research Plan- 40%
You are required to design a comprehensive action research plan that explores your focus area that you have discussed in your literature review. Your plan must include the following components and headings:

 Cover page (title and author’s name)

 Introduction- what it is – i.e. the nature of the focus area;

 Significance- why is the investigation of this topic important for you as a graduate teacher and for the wider educational community; why is it important for primary education and/or professional practice

 Background- the most salient information from your literature review on the topic; this is not new work – it is essentially a summary of the Conclusion statement from Assessment 1: Literature Review.

 Research question/s- the specific question to be examined (a clear and concise statement of the aspect of the focus area you will be exploring, stated as a question, along with appropriate sub-questions and definitions/ explanations).

 Method- a detailed description of the approach and methods you will use to answer the research question/including the type of research, your data collection techniques, your data analysis procedures; (the type of research you are undertaking; how you will undertake the research, including non-technical descriptions of data collection and analysis techniques).

 Research ethics- a clear statement regarding the ethical considerations you would need to take into account throughout the project – including the Department of Education and Training (DET) policy, permission and informed consent. You also include a discussion of any potential ethical dilemmas associated with your research and how you would deal with these; a comprehensive statement about the ethical issues for your proposed investigation and how these will be attended to.

 Action- a discussion of how you might go about taking action as a result of your potential findings. Outline how you might implement any potential changes to practice.

 List of References – 10 references are sufficient

NOTE: The length of the plan should be no more than a maximum of 3000 words not including cover page, appendices and references and should be referenced according to APA 6th edition.

Order Description

Using relevant theories and models critically evaluate and analyse the leadership of a 21st century leader of a (business, government or not-for-profit) organisation. If you were in the position of the leader, what could you do to be a better leader and make a stronger impact on the followers and on the situation?

For this assignment you can select a leader from a large or a small organisation. You can select a leader from your own organisation or one that you are familiar with. It could be a CEO of an international organisation whom you have read about in the newspapers/biographies, or a family member who runs a small business with a few staff members. The choice of leader and organisation is yours.

Write a report in which you cover the following:

A clear description of the leader, the organisation/industry, and situation/context.
An evaluation of the leader by referring to concepts and theories covered in the subject (e.g. style, behaviour, traits, attitudes, power) and by referring to relevant examples and mini-cases in the textbook (where appropriate).
A discussion of how you would lead differently if you were put in the same situation/s as the leader and how you could make a stronger impact on the followers and on the situation/s.
It is important to demonstrate your knowledge about Leadership and to clearly reference your sources. Read about Leadership in journal articles (using AIB Online Library), books (including the textbook), business literature, etc. Note the sources and use them throughout the report.

Remember that pure description and paraphrasing is not sufficient. A good report will clearly take an analytical approach and demonstrate application of leadership concepts/theories.

In order to do well you need to structure your discussion appropriately, use good references, and clearly link recommendations to description and analysis presented earlier in the report.

This assessment is an individual assessment (ie this is not a group assessment). Please ensure you avoid collusion and other practices which compromise individual assessment work. (Refer to the Academic Integrity Policy available on AIB website)

Behavioural Economics and the Car Industry
Type: Paper
Learning Objectives Assessed: 1, 2, 3, 5
Due Date:
19 May 16 23:00
Weight: 30%
Task Description:
Imagine you have been asked to give a presentation to a meeting of the Motor Traders Association of Queensland about the significance of behavioural and evolutionary economics for the automotive sector. Your task is to write a full-text version of the presentation that you would give at this meeting. Imagine that your presentation is to take about 30 minutes to deliver. Given this, your draft should be about 4000 words in length, excluding references.
Your presentation draft should be typed double-spaced, with a reference list at the end that sets out your sources and any suggestions for things that might be useful for your audience to read if they want to learn more on this topic. It should be submitted as a Word document so that the word count for the presentation text can be checked.
To decide whether you are making appropriate reference to any sources within your draft presentation, you should imagine that you would actually present the text verbatim to your audience in a professional, authoritative but engaging manner. Hence you should be avoiding the repeatedly including (Author, Date) references at the ends of sentences and write it more as you would have done had this been an exam question (it was an exam question in 2015 and was done very well, though on a smaller scale). You can use footnotes, where necessary, to point to particular references (e.g., ‘see Earl, 1986, chapter 7’, but it would also be perfectly possible to say, for example, ‘Last year, two Nobel Prize winning economist, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller offered a very critical view of the motoring trade in their book Phishing for Phools; they argued that ….’ (and then just give the full publication details in the list of references).
Note that this presentation need not be purely about vehicle retailing. Your audience might also be interested in what you can say, from the standpoint of behavioural and evolutionary economics, about the competitive process between the vehicle manufacturers.

Criteria & Marking:
Marks will be awarded for:
(i) Evidence of the extent of relevant reading that has been undertaken, both in terms of breadth and depth (10 marks);
(ii) Insight and creativity evident in applying theoretical literature to the automotive sector (12 marks) ;
(iii) Quality of writing and suitability) for verbal presentation to the target audience (6 marks);
(iv) Accuracy and consistency of referencing (2 marks).

Submission: To be submitted via Blackboard as a Word file. Do not submit in hard-copy form.

Answer the following problem using the IRAC method.
Brom and Alma Garrett have just bought a brand new Audi Quatro with some of the money that Brom has received from his parent’s inheritance. He always parks it in the driveway so all the neighbours can see it.
A group of local troublemakers were sitting around in Bill’s garage next door to Brom’s house on Saturday evening. Bill doesn’t like getting his hands dirty these days, as he’s a high ranking member of the Deadwood Riders, a well known biker group in town, but he’s always on the lookout for easy money.
“Hey Jane, I’ll tell you what.. I know you’re having some mortgage difficulties now that you’re on your own with the kids, if you put your skills to good use and steal that Audi for me, I’ll pay the overdue balance for ya..”
“Yeah okay…there’s $4300 owing, you’d better pay the lot Bill…and I want it in cash on delivery.”
“Of course Jane, no worries”. Says Bill, knowing he’s got himself a great deal.
Just before Jane heads over to where the Audi is parked, her little brother Charlie comes up to her and says: “Hey Jane, I’ve got this new laptop program that works on all the new Audi’s, it will let you by-pass the alarm system much quicker..”
“Wow Charlies, that’s awesome, thanks”.
“I’ll have to come and work it for you though, but after that I’m outta there, I don’t want no trouble..” Charlies says.
“Sure Charlie, thanks”.
Jane picks her friend Sophia up on the way. Jane actually only owes $3300 on her mortgage, so she agrees to give Sophia the extra $1000 for her help.
Jane and Sophia, meet Charlie at the Audi. Charlies bypasses the alarm system, and leaves. Sophia keeps watch while Jane gets in and starts the car. Sophia gets in and they speed away.
A few minutes later Sophia loses her nerve. She’s on bail at the moment, and knows if she gets caught she’ll probably end up having her bail revoked.
“Pull over, I can’t be a part of this”.
Jane tries to talk her into staying, but Sophia won’t hear of it. Jane lets her out, and she walks home.
Jane hands the car over to Bill, gets the money and leaves.
A few days later Police are making enquiries about Jane around town. Charlies quickly calls Jane and tells her to come over to his place, a large acreage out of town. “You can stay out here with me until it settles down” says Charlies. Jane gratefully accepts.
What sort of criminal responsibility will be attributed to each person if they are caught?

Results assignment body will address the criteria as outlined in the guidelines (above).

In no more than 500 words, identify three (3) key themes from your data. Summarise each theme fluently, in your own words, in paragraph format using past tense. You can use headings and subheadings to designate these themes.

STRESS
The data shows that stress was a factor … as was the case for Participant A and B
They voiced this as:
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant A
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant B

This indicates that….

PEERS
The data shows that peers—- was a factor … as was the case for Participant C and D
They voiced this as:
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant C
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant D

This indicates that….

HEALTHY CHOICES
The data shows that stress was a factor … as was the case for Participant A and C
They voiced this as:
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant A
“Xxxxxxxxxxxx —————————————–Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” Partcipant C

This indicates that….

Drawing on the ‘voice’ of your participants, use carefully selected quotes to illustrate the themes as they may have said similar things. Or participants may have voiced contradictions or contrasts, thereby drawing out tensions in your data.

There is no limit to the number of quotes that can be used, but look at published journal articles to see what is the normal ‘balance’ between author description and use of quotes. These quotes are not included in your word count.

Do not list each interview separately highlighting their respective themes. Your analysis needs to be a synthesis of the data as an aggregate.
Do not include links to the literature in your results section. Appendices
In your appendix attach the following: 4 FACESHEETS and 4 TRANSCRIPTS
* Facesheets for all interviews or focus groups – the template is found in the Assessment Resources folder on FLO.

* Interview / focus group transcript(s) with preliminary data analysis

These attachments are non-graded, but they form an essential component to pass the assignment as they provide evidence that you have carried out the essential steps in the data collection and analysis
