Based on this week’s readings what would be the best strategies for developing your research question and literature review that you have learned?
Please refer to posted assignment rubric.

Our course textbook, Tappen (2015) will assist us with the identification of a research topic as a part of this week’s assignment and taking the time to review the associated literature that will also correlate with our proposed research topic. Has anyone given thought to their research topic?

One sound word of advice is selecting a topic that will be of interest to you as an individual. From a personal viewpoint, researching a topic that is of interest to you is far better than painfully suffering through a subject matter that may be horrific or has no relevance. This would cause you to submit work that may have minimal effort as opposed to a robust assignment that one may be passionate about in their field of expertise.

This week please take the time and read Chapters one and chapters two in Tappen (2015). Once the readings are completed and you gain an understanding, please answer the discussion post (make sure you understand the grading rubric for the discussion post – refer to your course syllabus) that is due on Saturday night at 2359. Remember initial posts are 250 words and at least two responses of 150 words each are required with references to support your statements.

So, let us begin with a focus on stages of assembling a research study. According to Tappen (2015), the following components were identified:

Identification of an interesting problem
Problem exploration or interest area to find out what is known
Definition of the research topic
Generation of question or hypothesis
Conducting the study
Analyze the results
Reporting the findings

How To Choose A Research Topic For A Dissertation Or Thesis (7 Step Method + Examples)

Regarding the literature review, I always like to ensure that I am utilizing superior levels of evidence to support my intended research. For example. I am developing a thesis about what type of evidence do I wish to include to establish my credibility as a researcher? Would you support an article from Wikipedia as opposed to a scholarly publication from Yale University? You want to select a scholarly publication from a higher level of evidence in comparison to a weak publication.

While yes there will be a significant amount of reading. You want to gather as much data as possible to review and eliminate the weaker sources that you found. Keep searching until you have exhausted your options. Source credibility is most important to ensure that the best level of evidence is available. We want to ensure that sources such as CINAHL, PubMed/MEDLINE, and ProQuest just to name a few (Tappen, 2015).
