RES 850 Module 5 DQ 1
At this point you
should be narrowing in on potential topics for your dissertation. The specifics
may not be targeted but you should know the general area you wish to research.
Using the topic area you are considering, explain how the measurement concepts
discussed in the text and readings could be used in your research. Why is it
important to know the variables within your research study? What type of
measurement instrument might you use for your study? Explain the benefits and
possible drawbacks.
RES 850 Module 5 DQ 2
In “The Practice of
Social Research,” Babbie (2013) suggest the following research question as a
simple example: Are social sciences teachers, natural sciences teachers, or
arts teachers more beloved among students on a college campus?
To answer the research
question, you might observe throughout a semester the attendance rates for a
key course in each of the groups; review end of course surveys and compare
average instructor ratings among the groups; or compare the number of cards,
letters, and gifts received by faculty members in each group at the end of a
semester.
Use Google or a search
engine of your choice to conduct an internet search using the search question
“What is alignment in research?” Select several sources from the search results
list and read about alignment. Given the information in your reading, which of
the methods suggested above may be good choices (align well with) and which may
not bring about the desired results for the study Babbie suggested? Why? What
does your consideration of these options tell you about operationalization and
alignment? Why is that significant?

RES 850 Module 8 Assignment Literature Review Resources
Details:
Successful completion
of a doctoral dissertation requires significant amounts of independent reading
on the research topic. This allows the doctoral learner/researcher to become
familiar with the scope of the topic and to identify gaps or tensions within
the existing literature on the topic. These gaps and tensions become the source
of the dissertation research. In this assignment, you will read and annotate
potential sources in your dissertation field of interest. Those demonstrating
the most merit to the best of your understanding of the topic at this time
should be added to your RefWorks list for potential inclusion in the literature
review section of your dissertation.
General Requirements:
Use the following
information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
1.
Locate the assignment
submission for “Literature Review Resources” from your previous course. You
will be adding to this document to begin building a running literature review.
2.
It is recommended that
you engage in this activity throughout the duration of this course.
3.
Instructors will be
scoring your submission based on the number of unique sources identified in the
list submitted.
4.
Download the resource
Literature Review Resources Tool and use it to complete the assignment.
5.
Doctoral learners are
required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is
located in the Student Success Center.
6.
Refer to the resource,
“Preparing Annotated Bibliographies,” located in the Student Success Center,
for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.
Directions:
Read at least 10
empirical articles in your general dissertation field that you have not read
previously.
