I choose the research study on, Exploring How Intervention Characteristics Affect Implementability: A Mixed Methods Case Study of Common Elements-Based Academic Support
in Child Welfare Services. The study focus is on the implementation and interventions of strategies of Enhanced Academic Support (EAS) for adolescents and children between the ages of 12 through 18, along with the child welfare services (CWS) in Norway. Workers for child welfare services were able to give and or help with Enhanced Support toward the families by doing home visits or where the
families wanted the seasons to take place. Six months of follow up with the families is when this research study was provided.
The purpose of this study was to help close knowledge gaps in subjects like reading and math in children and adolescents. Also, to see if EAS or Out-of-school-time academic (OSTA) is beneficial to children is CWS. A handbook was made for the practitioners and managers. “The handbook is 32 pages and details the basic structure of EAS, core elements and components, key determinants of success, adaptation alternatives, suggestions for between-session assignments, and examples of “tips and advice.”
The handbook also includes brief material that supplements core elements and components, such as guidance for carrying out activities (e.g., brief paired reading instructions), educational material to use in sessions and give to parents, family planners and an EAS goals tracker, and information related to the research project
(Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen
, Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021).” OSTA is the inventor of the handbook and the research study. OSTA interventions where a combination of parent training in positive academic involvement, home learning support, and structed academic tutoring to child for example paired reading.

The characteristic of this group of children between the ages of 12-18 years of age in need of academic interventions within CWS. In Norway, eight out of ten children in CWSs struggle academically (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). Unfortunately, this study did not target the biggest population of children in CWSs, or elementary school children living in the home with their biological parents. There are 24 practitioners and supervisors with one family that are in this study. "Their professions were child welfare educator (n = 9), social worker (n = 6), Family therapist (n = 2), education specialist (n =
2), social anthropologist (n = 1), and social educator (n = 1). Nine out of 21 eligible (three lost to turnover) participated in the qualitative interviews (42.86%). All participants in the qualitative sample participated in the quantitative sample (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021).”
The hypothesis of this study is that EAS and OSTA interventions are beneficial to children in CWS in Norway. There are a total of four concepts that were used in this research: Feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and intervention usability. The intervention was made flexible so practitioners could incorporate the elements of EAS to the family needs while providing academic help. •
"The four elements of EAS are delivered to families in six sessions
over a period of six months with support and follow-up between sessions" (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). After each season with the family practitioners were asked to complete a 5-to-10-minute text survey to provide feedback on EAS.
Then we come to the semi-structured focus group that lasted roughly 2 hours for the initial interview with four of the participants. Three out of those four participants went on to have
an second interview which lasted roughly a little bit over 2 hours. The educated practitioners for CWS were interested in seeing if these interventions were implementable for CWS. There were

also two telephone call that where recorded: one was roughly 37 minutes long, while the other was roughly 52 minutes long. The interviews could be like at like a focus group in terms of a common goal of improving CWS with EAS.
The research question that was found within this mixed methods study were as follows:
1.
How feasible, appropriate, acceptable, and usable is EAS perceived to be by practitioners and supervisors in Norwegian CWSs?
2.
What characteristics of EAS influence its implementability, and how?
3.
How can the implementability of EAS be improved?
Mixed methods analysis provided both qualitative (descriptive) and quantitative results while implementing EAS. This made it so it was easier to understand the characteristics of EAS influenced by the research. The implementability index of EAS scored 75.33 (SD=15.57) out of 100 (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). The data that was collect is as followed:
Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) of child welfare services (CWS) scored 78.54 (SD=14.10).
Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) score 71.88 (SD=22.16).
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) score 82.50 (SD=18.30).
Usability scores 67.78 (SD=16.32).
These scores show that EAS is implementable for most families and CWS. Participants said the best part of the project was the flexibility they were able to use in EAS. Homes with more serious cases involving violence were viewed as more challenging to establish EAS. The participants in this study felt that in the more serious situations that they needed to get an handle

on that before gently introducing EAS to the family. The ways that made EAS considered flexible were tailoring practices and processes, and flexible cross-domain integration. There were parents along with practitioners that believed the school system could work together and focus on helping tutor children in certain areas of studies for academic success. “Compatibility and perceptions about relevance seemed to influence opinions, with the skeptic participants finding tutoring outside the scope of their work, and more as a responsibility of schools" (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). The quantitative samples in this study unfortunately the data was too small to have a proper implementation. Ways future studies could have an impact on this type of research would be by having more families participate and having more interventions. EAS core elements that are used are beneficial and can be looked further into for future case studies. This study has given me more knowledge regarding children in child welfare services and
the importance of helping the children achieve academic success. Even with the sample sized being small for both quantitative and qualitative data. The core elements being home learning, parental involvement, positive reinforcement used in EAS and OSTA. Will have a major impact on children, their families, and the practitioners working for and with child welfare services. This
study opens doors to future studies from school counselors to teacher to engage in EAS.

how is the statment a good example of why qualitative methodologie is more valuable in advancing cross-cultural research?
I think qualitative methodologies are very valuable in advancing cross-cultural research. Qualitative methodologies are used in cross-cultural research by cultural anthropologist for what are called ethnographies. Ethnographies involve observation and field-work within the cultural context and require descriptive qualitative analysis. Some of the advantages of studies involving two or three countries compared to studies that involve ten or more countries are a more concentrated and have a smaller study group. Another advantage is being able to report various cultural variables as it relates to the study and qualitative data. A few disadvantages of studies involving two or three countries compared to involving ten or more countries are the potential for inaccurate results if it does not include the entire population.

Is Data analysis methods: description of the data analysis methods is clear and appropriate?
Thematic analysis was utilized in which themes from the data of the interviews, questionnaire, and phone call were identified by grouping similar answers into larger categories. Major themes emerged in the process of grouping. These themes were then organized into minor themes. Open coding, or initial coding was utilized for the data where fragments of data such as keywords, incidents, etc. were studied closely for analytic import. "Initial coding continues the interaction that you shared with your participants while collecting data but brings you into an interactive analytic space (Silipigni Connaway, L., &, Radford, M.

Because statistical software plays such an important role in modern statistical applications, many studies have
encouraged the use of technology in statistics courses. The Guidelines for the Assessment and Instruction in
Statistics Education (GAISE) (Aliaga et al., 2005) project was funded by the American Statistical Association to
examine needs for college level statistics courses. One of the six recommendations from GAISE is the use of
technology for developing conceptual understanding and analyzing data. A survey was sent to students at 100
different universities across the United States to access the relationship between ease of learning the statistical
software program SAS and a student's currently level of SAS proficiency. The results of the survey are published
in Jackson et al., 2011, in the International Mathematical Forum journal and are shown below.
