Dissertation Development Template

Description

In RES-815 you selected five empirical articles to begin working on your proposed dissertation topic. In RES-820, you will refine that work to further develop your topic using the Dissertation Development template.

For this assignment you will select 10 new empirical articles on your proposed dissertation topic to annotate. You will then answer questions about the components of your proposed study. Note that while the questions are similar, the template is different than the one you completed in RES-815. For this assignment, your answers should demonstrate the growth and development of your project.

Directions:

Use the Dissertation Development Template to annotate 10 new empirical articles for your proposed dissertation topic.

Each article selection must be published within the last 5 years.

** I’ll attach my Dissertation so you’ll have an idea of the topic. Only the attached “Template” needs to be completed though **

Complete the reflection section that follows the annotated bibliography in the template to do the following:

1. State how the potential topic aligns with your program of study and emphasis.
2. Justify the feasibility of the intended study.
3. Write a problem statement for your proposed study using the guidelines in the template.
4. Briefly defend the need for the proposed study.
5. Propose a conceptual/theoretical framework for the intended study.
6. Reflect on the significance of the proposed study.
7. Defend your selection of articles and annotation
