at least 1 peer-reviewed article reference per question each question at least 300 words. Preferably 1 page per question. No direct quotes in references
1.describe how you currently perceive scholarly literature. How have your perceptions changed given the information presented in your textbook on this topic? How do you know if the research is objective, accurate, authoritative, current, and relevant? How comfortable are you with critiquing research? What is peer-review and how it is relevant to the integrity of scholarly literature?
2.how is original thought developed and transformed by the time the writer gets to the third draft? How does the addition of citations increase the credibility and establish the academic voice of the author? Explain.
ex 1 I believe that daily drinking of alcohol must be stopped because it will lead to major health problems and premature death in young people and adults.
ex 2Daily drinking of alcohol should be avoided because it can lead to social and health issues, as well as premature death (Root, 2018). There must be more awareness created to inform people of the dangers of alcohol.
ex 3According to Larson (2017), alcohol abuse is a condition that is affecting families directly or indirectly in the United States (Wilson, 2017). The numbers have continued to steadily increase for the past 10 years (Smith, 2019). The number of alcohol related deaths with young people are disheartening. According to Silk (2020), the number of accidental deaths involving motor vehicles is “200% greater” than it was 10 years ago, even though there have been concerted efforts to raise awareness through state sponsored media campaigns, as well as legal deterrents, such financial penalties and incarceration (p. 164). At the same time, the number of alcohol related illnesses has increased leading to premature deaths in adults. Worth (2018) has noted a spike in liver disease with adult males from 45-60 years old. The increase in deaths from both populations are preventable and is an issue that must receive more attention to ensure the health and safety of young people and adults using alcohol.
3. Some literature reviews read as “book reports” that simply provide a string of summaries of the articles reviewed. How is synthesis different than summarizing? How does developing and employing the skill of synthesis improve the quality of the literature review? Explain.
4 Every household has a junk drawer (or some similar place) that serves as the “catch all” for items that have no designated place. Go to your junk drawer and randomly retrieve three items. Write one paragraph that summarizes the three items. Then write one-paragraph that compares and contrasts the three items. Finally write one paragraph that synthesizes the three items. Post the three paragraphs. What challenges did you experience in synthesizing the three objects? How do the skills of summarization, comparison and synthesizing differ? What questions do you have about synthesis techniques?
5.What considerations must be given to the selection of a quantitative methodology for a research study? Based on what you know now, which of these considerations do you believe are the most important? Why?
6.What are the important markers to look for when critiquing a quantitative study?
7. What considerations must be given to the selection of a qualitative methodology for a research study? Based on what you know now, which of these considerations do you believe are the most important? Why?
8 Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative research. Why is it important to have more than one kind of methodology available to conduct research?
9.Often, raduate learners mistakenly believe that a feasible research project can be developed based on personal experience or an attempt to solve a problem that is personal to them. Although, passion for the project is important to the impetus of the discovery process, ultimately a topic must emerge from problem spaces that exist in an empirical research literature. Why do you think this is the case? How does the reliance on literature serve the needs of a researcher and the research project?
10.Why is it important to defend your position? How does an argument allow for a scholarly conversation?
11How does your potential topic( technology integration in education) emerge from an important problem that needs to be investigated, that is, what is the benefit of studying this specific problem? How do the empirical sources that you have read argue why the problem needs to be investigated? How does the literature review process influence the development of the argument for your potential study?
12 Need for Study, Significance, and Theoretical Framework, how does reading literature and in particular reading a literature review section contribute to formulating a clearer understanding of these three concepts? Explain.
13. how do you intend to independently expand your list of resources in preparation for defending your topic selection? How will this work eventually develop into your research proposal? What is your plan to use the upcoming courses to continue to develop your literature review? Explain.
