During the past 7 weeks you have been learning how to formulate a research plan, hopefully for your dissertation. The final assignment for RES/709 has 3 components:

  1. Identify a theoretical and/or conceptual framework to frame your study. What existing theories, concepts, or models are relevant to your study?
  2. Use the SPL Model to identify the significance of your study for scholars, practitioners, and leaders in your professional field.
  3. Polish and refine your Research Outline Template by carefully going over all feedback to ensure the feedback has been incorporated. Compare and contrast the formatting of your Research Outline Template to the original.

Incorporate the feedback and recommendations you received from your course colleagues for the following and add to your research plan.

  • Wk 8: DQ1 for the Framework section
  • Wk 8: DQ 2 for the Significance of the Study section
