Preparing for the Literature
Review: Developing an Annotated Bibliography (Continued)
In Week 4, you developed an annotated
bibliography citing literature that supports your dissertation topic. This
week, you will add to that annotated bibliography by including research articles
that use a similar theoretical foundation and data collection methods to what
you are proposing for your study. To prepare for this Assignment, find a
minimum of two peer-reviewed articles that use a similar theoretical foundation
to what you plan to use, and two peer-reviewed articles that use the same type
of data collection and/or data analysis methods that you plan to use in your
dissertation.
The Assignment (2 pages):
·
Submit annotated
citations for the four new articles you have identified for your bibliography.
·
Include a brief
summary of how each of these articles informs what you hope to accomplish.
Note: For ideas on how others have handled the Literature Review
and Annotated Bibliography, you might find it useful to browse through the
dissertations in the Walden Library and see how others have approached these
sections.
