Research is a term with many connotations. Use the reading for this Section to write a paper on doctoral research that embraces your goals for your research. Into that view, integrate the concepts of validity and reliability and the function of critical thinking/logic.
Support your paper with 2-3 resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 3-5 pages not including title and reference pages.
References: Minimum of 2-3scholarly resources.
An ongoing assignment throughout this course will be the development of an annotated bibliography on topics of interest. Ultimately, these annotations will form the starting point for your doctoral Literature Review.
Your annotated bibliography entries should be of two types: those that relate in content to potential research topics of interests to you and annotations that relate to the content of this course.
For this first assignment, please submit 3 complete annotations of your choosing. Your Instructor will provide feedback that you should use on all future annotations.
During Weeks 2-7, you should produce at least 2 but not more than 4 annotations. These annotations should become more focused as the course proceeds. These annotations (a minimum of 15) will be submitted as part of the Signature Assignment in Activity 8, not on an Activity-by-Activity basis.
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.
