Study Notes
- Nctrc certification allows individuals to practice in therapeutic recreation.
- Faith involves believing before seeing.
- Hope is not an effective strategy.
- APIE is an acronym: Assessment, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.
Reliability vs. Veritably
- Reliability: consistency of results under the same conditions.
- Veritably: truthfulness or factual accuracy.
- Something can be reliable without being entirely truthful.
Reliability vs. Validity
- Reliability: consistency of measurement.
- Validity: accuracy of measurement.
Scientific Research
- Galileo Galilei: a father of modern science, contributed to astronomy, physics, and mathematics.
- He helped establish the scientific method.
- He supported the heliocentric theory
Heliocentric Theory
- States that the Sun is at the center of the universe, and planets revolve around it.
Empirical Evidence
- Information gathered through observation, experimentation, or measurement.
Evidence Based Practice
- When talking, use "I think" instead of "I feel."
- Observable data = Empirical Evidence.
- Two primary ways to get observable data in assessment: observation and interviews.
Assessment vs. Evaluation
- Assessment: examining current state.
- Evaluation: primarily occurs at the end.
Crime Statistics
- Empirical evidence from secondary sources.
Sleep
- Sleep is essential for health.
Logic
- Logic is essential.
- There must be a logical connection between assessment and programs.
Purposes and Uses of Client Assessment
- Individual client information.
- Initial baseline assessment for treatment planning/program placement.
- Monitoring progress (formative evaluation).
- Summarizing progress (summative evaluation).
