Week 4 Assignment
To Complete
Using the doctoral study document, you selected previously, write a 2-page paper.
In your paper you provide the following:
- Select two, of the 10 rubric items, to analyze for the doctoral study you selected. ( “Teacher Perceptions of Virtual Learning on Academic Success in Early Childhood Education”)based on The show of evidence of early childhood teachers struggling to work with technology with young children.
- Identify at least one example from your doctoral study (in attachments)that is supported by each rubric you selected.
- Briefly describe how rubrics provide a foundation for quality and how the student should aim higher in their study.
- Write your analysis, and provide APA citations and references to support your analysis.
- BELOW ARE THE 9 RUBRIC CATEGORIES USED TO REVIEW A COMPLETED PROSPECTUS:
- Student Self-Check: Revisions are part of the doctoral process but checking to ensure all requirements have been met can reduce the need for multiple revisions. Please review the rubric requirements in its entirety and check to ensure all have been fully met in your prospectus. If anything needs to be strengthened, make those revisions prior to submitting to Taskstream/MYDR for formal review.
- Rubric Standard #1 | Complete > Does the research plan contain all the required elements?
- Rubric Standard #2| Meaningful > Has a meaningful problem related to practice been identified in the research literature, and local site if applicable? Addressing the stated problem should be the logical next step, building on what is already known, and staying within the student’s area of professional practice.
- Rubric Standard #3 | Justified> Is evidence presented that this problem is significant to the discipline and/or professional field, and local site if applicable? The prospectus should provide relevant statistics and evidence and other scholarly facts that point to the significance and urgency of the problem.
- Rubric Standard #4 | Grounded > Is the problem framed to enable the researcher to either build upon or counter the previously published findings on the topic? For most fields, grounding involves articulating the problem within the context of a theoretical or conceptual framework.
- Rubric Standard #5 | Original > Does this capstone have the potential to make an original contribution? Addressing the problem should result in an original contribution to the field and/or local site.
- Rubric Standard #6 | Impact > Does this study have the potential to affect positive social change? As documented in the Significance section, the anticipated findings and project, if applicable, should have the potential to support the mission of Walden University to promote positive social change.
- Rubric Standard #7 | Feasible > Can a systematic method of inquiry be used to address the problem? The tentative methodology demonstrates that the researcher has considered the options for inquiry, selected an approach that has the potential to address the problem, and considered risks and burdens placed on research participants.
- Rubric Standard #8 | Aligned > Do the various aspects of the research plan align? To ensure a solid foundation is built at the prospectus stage, alignment is needed among all study elements including the problem and purpose statements, evidence, framework, research questions, and methodology.
- Rubric Standard #9| Objective > Is the topic approached in an objective manner? The framing of the problem should not reveal bias or present foregone conclusions.
