Assessment
Instructions
Preparation
For this assessment, you will submit the current draft of your literature review for feedback and grading.
Do not organize the paper by referencing each article in order one by one. Your task is to synthesize conceptual information pertinent to the research question; this is the information that you extract from the articles selected and thematically review and summarize.
Plan to identify articles and research that:
- Describe an area of research.
Describe the area of research chosen and justify the choice.
- Summarize sources applicable to the theoretical background of the chosen topic.
Provide information about theoretical underpinnings such as empirical or behavioral or constructivist and humanistic orientations of the literature reviewed.
- Summarize sources applicable to the history of the chosen topic.
Shed light on the historical context and dominant themes in the evolution of the topic; connect common themes and discuss counter opinions.
- Summarize sources applicable to best practices for engaging in research.
Describe data collection strategies, research procedures, and approaches for conducting and reporting research.
- Summarize sources that add significance and relevance to the knowledge base of psychology.
Indicate how the chosen sources help investigators identify topics that are well understood and other topics that represent gaps in the knowledge base and the need for further study.
Create a scenario that illustrates the need for new research. - Identify practices and research guidelines that address respect for individual differences and diversity.
Address individual variation and diversity within and across groups.
- Organize and summarize sources thematically.
Your task is to present current considerations important to investigators and to indicate ramifications for stakeholders that rely on the current knowledge base. Use illustrative examples to explain and highlight key concepts. Good reviewers share with their audience evidence-based assessments of the current state of knowledge.
This assessment is one component of the integrative project. It is expected that you will continue to refine this literature review before submitting the final project.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
[Note, the Final draft of Chapter 1 is typically written after the entire project has been completed and just prior to the Abstract. It is completed in assignment 4 and includes a description of the research problem and an explanation that describes how the research problem led to the current research question. In the introduction you will summarize briefly what is known so far about the phenomena under investigation; describe what needs to be known in order to advance the knowledge base; address briefly the major themes identified in the literature review; summarize the design approach, identify whether it is qualitative or quantitative; summarize briefly the expected results; summarize implications for the research community; and apply ethical principles and standards of psychology to the research proposal. The introduction section is added before the Background of the Study. It is important to understand that the project is iterative. You will work on, change and refine all elements of the project. In your initial submission, begin to provide an evidence-based rationale for each of the sections listed below.]
Background of the Study
What do we know so far about the area of the literature that you reviewed?
What do you think we need to know to advance the knowledge base?
How will this new knowledge serve the stakeholders (scientists, care providers, families, patients, institutions) that may in turn be served by implementation of new developments?
Statement of the Problem
Identify the gap in research or the need for additional research in your area.
Purpose of the Study
Why does the problem deserve new research?
Are you resolving inconsistency in previous research? Extending the reach of a theory? Solving a social problem?
Significance of the Study
Describe the significance of the proposed investigation by explaining how the results promise to advance the scientific knowledge base. In three sentences or more, explain how this inquiry is original.

The purpose is to answer the research question. State your Research Question in the form of a question in the introductory paragraph for Chapter 3. As you prepare this section of this chapter review the characteristics of Qualitative Research Questions:
1. Qualitative Research questions ask for description and interpretation of phenomena through the identification of socially constructed themes and categories.
2. Qualitative questions address concepts associated with thoughts, feelings, and actions that are not necessarily accessible with empirical methods of measurement.
3. Qualitative data take the form of stories, narratives and observations.
4. Qualitative questions identify the target population and phenomena under consideration.
5. Qualitative questions do not test empirically measured data.
Research Question
Conclude the introductory paragraph to Chapter 3, by writing out the Research Question. Add your constructs.

OVERVIEW
Synthesize conceptual information pertinent to the research question; this is information that you extract from the articles selected for this review. Submit a draft literature review.
Note: Developing a research proposal requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in sequence and must be completed in order. You may only turn in one assessment at a time. Subsequent submissions should include highlighted changes.
Literature Review
A literature review is a classification and evaluation of what scholars and researchers have written on a topic, organized according to a guiding concept, application, or practice, such as the topic that you have selected to develop your Integrative Project (Research Proposal): Chapters 1–5. Your objective is to demonstrate your ability to recognize significant and integral information, to synthesize and evaluate that information, and to provide a description, summary, and critical evaluation of each work. The purpose is to offer an overview of significant literature published on your topic. The process of finding, reviewing, synthesizing, and writing the literature review provides greater definition to the theoretical framework and gives you a strong foundation from which to work when developing your actual application or intervention.
Your Literature Review (CHAPTER 2) should include a conceptually organized synthesis of the results of the review that clearly delineates what is known, what is not known, and what is controversial regarding your topic or area of practice. The process will also give you a strong foundation from which to work when developing your methodology in CHAPTER 3.
It may be helpful to use the following questions as you review the literature:
· What findings are pertinent to your specific issue?
· Are the concepts key to the research as you prepare the Literature Review?
Analyze the relationships among the related studies instead of presenting a series of seemingly unrelated abstracts or annotations. “The introduction should motivate the study. The reader should understand why the problem should be researched and why the study represents a contribution to existing knowledge” The study should be motivated by its scientific importance.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Determine the scientific merit of the professional literature. Evaluate sources applicable to the history of the chosen topic.
. Summarize sources applicable to the theoretical background of chosen topic.
