Quantitative Approaches

Quantitative Approaches

Instructions

Read chapters 4 and 5 in Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Method Approaches (2018); chapters 3, 5, and 13 in Practical Research: Planning and Design; chapters 1 and 14 in Preparing Literature Reviews: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches. Review all other materials listed.

Using the quantitative research question developed in Workshop One, the articles analyzed in Workshops Two through Five and the draft summaries, write a synthesized literature review. Synthesize a minimum of 16 research articles. Use the TEMPLATE found in the resources above and the sample review as a guide.

You are not presenting everything about each study that you have read. Rather, present only the parts of the articles/studies which are applicable to your study.

Begin with an introduction section (Example: This is a review of the literature and research findings related to the perception of nursing as a call or as a choice by those who have been registered nurses over varying lengths of time.), and follow with sections and subsections (entitled specific to your problem), according to the rubric below.

Use the resources shared throughout the course, especially those in Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Method Approaches (2018), chapter 2, Practical Research: Planning and Design, pages 67-70, and the checklist in Preparing Literature Reviews: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches (2016),pages 116-124 and the examples on pages 149-166.

KEY: The lit review is NOT an annotated bibliography, rather it is a synthesized presentation of the most recent and classic studies addressing your question focus, written in a scholarly manner.

It is difficult to give a page requirement because it will depend to some degree on the amount of literature available on the chosen topic. Most literature reviews are minimally in the range of 15 – 20 pages and are larger to accommodate a more complex question.

APA comprises 70 points in the rubric and will consider the points in the Horton fuideline (see Resources list above). An APA Reference page should be included at the end of the review.

When you have completed your assignment, you will submit three documents:

Submit your Literature Review into Dropbox by day seven of the workshop (TurnItIn enabled).

Submit your completed Spreadsheet of Articles Reviewed into the same Dropbox.

Submit your completed Spreadsheet of Research Study Analysis into the same Dropbox.

Please carefully read the rubric below for the necessary inclusions in your literature review/ content according to the rubric. You should use APA formatted headings throughout your paper which correlate with the bolded criteria below. All areas must be included. If there are some areas that do not apply to your particular literature review and proposed research study then you must explain the rationale for why that area is left out and confirm via literature.
