Essay
Research Question: What are the micro and macro drivers of poverty for an individual? Using the assigned research question, evaluate and synthesize the existing evidence. A comprehensive analysis includes but is not limited to areas of strengths (evidence) and areas of
future research (gaps in the literature). Based on your literature review, propose a testable hypothesis. *You may define the individual as a child, adult, or a specific community. Fully describe the population using objective data. Perform a thorough literature review and synthesize peer-reviewed articles exhibiting critical analysis at the doctoral level. In your analysis, include a Biblical perspective on poverty in your chosen community
Essay
Using the research question: What are the micro and macro drivers of poverty on an individual and the theory: Bronfenbrenner Model, write a literature review that explains the theory and apply it to the problem and potential solution. This is a critical analysis of the theory, not a
discussion of the background and history of the theory. Note: this paper is not the literature review in Week 1. This is a theoretical paper using the same research question from Week 1
Essay
Using your topic of interest, perform a comprehensive literature review to develop your research question. Based on your literature review, propose a research question and testable hypothesis. Fully describe the population using objective data and show the burden of the problem. Who cares about the issue, why do we need to address it? Perform a thorough review of the
literature and synthesize peer-reviewed articles exhibiting critical analysis at the doctoral level. In your analysis a include a leadership response from a Biblical perspective. Use scripture to support your response.
Essay
Using your chosen research question: Select an appropriate and well-established theory that can be effectively applied to the challenge noted in the research question in the assignment in Module 3. This is a critical analysis of the theory, not a discussion on the background and history of the theory.
Essay
Using the proposal from Module 5, develop.
1. A 1-2 page research method proposal that explains a potential qualitative study design.
2. A 1-2 page research method proposal that explains a potential quantitative study design.
As you consider both quantitative and qualitative study designs, it is expected that you modify your current research question as needed to promote the study design. You should include but not be limited to data sources, sampling methods, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and statistical/qualitative software for data analysis. As you should be aware, the research question determines the study design, methodology, and type of analysis.
*Systematic reviews or meta-analyses, literature, or integrative reviews are not acceptable research methods for this assignment. The use of these methods will result in a zero.
Essay
Using your chosen research question, theoretical framework, and previous instructor feedback:
Please write a 4-5 page paper using the selected and appropriate research question and theory. This is a detailed and comprehensive literature review that supports the research question and testable hypothesis. The theoretical analysis should reflect a thorough understanding of the theory and how it explains the problem and potential solution. Your written communication should reflect scholarly expertise appropriate for upper division collegial work to include critical analysis, application of information, correct use of terms, and grammar/spelling.
Essay
Critique the assigned article. Your critique should be two to three (typed double spaced) pages (about 500 to 750 words) that
adequately address all areas as outlined below. Please do not submit a summary of the article. Each of the required items below must include an example from the article that supports your responses. Generalized statements will not be sufficient in this assignment. It is imperative that you demonstrate careful attention to detail in your reading by providing a doctoral level attention to the details in your writing.
Essay
Using your proposal from Module 5 and Module 6 with related Instructor Feedback, modify your work. Highlight the changes with red font to clearly show the changes to the reader. Submit a revised draft of Chapter 1 and proposed either a quantitative or qualitative method to examine the study objectives.
