STATISTICS

The literature review in a dissertation serves to illuminate the research gap and thereby justify the necessity of the study and the proposed study methodology. Though this purpose remains consistent across all methodologies, the structure of the literature review section of a qualitative dissertation often differs slightly from that of a quantitative dissertation. For example, literature reviews in quantitative dissertations are dominantly constructed around the variables while those in qualitative dissertations can be constructed in many ways. In this assignment, you will contrast the structures of a qualitative and a quantitative literature review and consider a rationale for those differences.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • Review the Vangilder (qualitative) dissertation. (ATTACHED)
  • Review the Wigton (quantitative) dissertation. (ATTACHED)
  • APA style is required for this assignment.
  • You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Directions:

Write a paper (600-750 words) in which you contrast the structures of the qualitative and quantitative dissertations referenced above and provide a rationale for the differences. Include the following in your paper:

  1. A clear description of the primary differences between the structures of the literature reviews.
  2. A rationale for the observed differences. What factors contributed to the differences the structures of these literature reviews?

Subjectivity Essay

/in /by

1. The assignment should be about 5 pages in length. Follow an APA format to structure your paper and provide references if using any outside sources (besides class presentations or personal notes). You do not need to have a cover page.

2. You are free to structure the essay in a way that works for you, but these are some of the components I am looking for:

(a) Introduce your research question for the class project, and briefly talk about the population that you intend to study.

(b) Why did you choose to study this topic? What drew you to it, what motivates you to learn more about the topic?

(c) What is your position as the researcher here vis-a-vis your participants? What is your social location (gender, ethnicity, race, socio-economic status, education, etc.), your personal experience, or any relevant background in comparison to the participants you are studying? How do you think that will influence your study of the subject (e.g., building rapport and trust?)

(d) What are the qualities of ‘researcher as an instrument’ (refer back to Padgett, Chapter 1 and the Voice thread presentation from Week 2, “Introduction to Qualitative Research”) and how do you plan to bring these qualities to your research?

(e) What is the cultural component of your proposed study? What are some assumptions you may have about the population and the topic? Where do you fall on the staircase model of intercultural communication (refer to the Voice Thread slides for Week 3)? What elements in the cultural iceberg are you setting out to explore?

/in /by

Using Evidence-Based Practices

/in /by

Using Evidence-Based Practices

For the first part of this discussion, address the following, using your readings and other resources you have identified to support your position:

  • Identify a presenting issue that is typically seen at your fieldwork site. This might be something like trauma, grief, chronic illness, domestic violence, and so on.
  • Locate at least one article in the current professional literature that discusses evidence-based approaches for working with this type of issue.
  • Summarize the key points of the article in your own words (do not use any direct quotations):
    • Describe the article’s position on the most effective approaches or interventions that can be used when working with clients who present this type of issue.
    • What is your own response to these findings? Are these the types of interventions used at your fieldwork—or that you would consider using yourself?
    • What other approaches do you think might also be effective when working with these presenting issues?
    • Support your ideas with reference to the literature or specific examples of your own experience in working with clients.

RE: Discussion 1 – Week 11

Thoughts about your future career goals

Continuing professional development is the aim to advance my future career goals. The start began with the self-assessment, which enhanced my understanding of my strengths, characteristics, skills, values, and interests. I plan to deepen my knowledge of grant writing by attending training sessions, attending online conferences, and finding videos on leadership to help develop and enhance my skills and knowledge more effectively and make a change. I am considering volunteering to get network opportunities and widen my professional network. My aim in moving into a leadership or management position is to display characteristics with integrity, modesty, and being a servant leader, whereas performing confidently in my ability to learn and master my skills to accumulate new knowledge. Also, I plan to keep my support network close. I think sometimes leaders get lost and forget their way, which later affects their leadership. Being an effective leader, connecting and respecting others, and standing by the values and principles can be beneficial for the staff, stakeholders, and community. However, a challenge to expect is a “conflict between personal identity and role identity, which contributes to the high rate of burnout among nonprofit leaders” (Austin, Regan, Gothard & Carnochan, 2013, p. 382). Continuing to make time doing what I like, such as taking a break, family time, and exercise, is very important to keep and incorporate daily to alleviate stress to enhance ongoing thriving team building as an effective leader.

RE: Discussion 1 – Week 11

It seems that as I progress within the program, I find myself wanting to transition into a leadership position. However, I want to become a leader that advocates for change. The agency I am currently employed at does not individualize caseloads. Every case is based off the same goals and that is primarily to ensure the clients continue to have utility assistance. As a leader, I want to bring more outcomes to my clients besides paperwork. I would like to think that I could make a change and not just have a title. I would be more interested in becoming a leader rather than a manager. I am also interested in staying within the healthcare aspect of social work.

A social work administrator has its benefits but is also faced with challenges. Some of the challenges that an administrator may face is being able to manage the different roles within the agency. The administrator will have to be able to multitask, sometimes with extraordinarily little time. This can be overwhelming for the administrator because it may seem as if they are being pulled in different directions. The benefits of being a social work administrator is that I would be able to set goals and expectations for the agency (Jones, 2017). This will show that I am taking the necessary steps to implement change within the agency.
