Peer and Faculty feedback and networking:
Gather feedback on your idea from at least one faculty and one peer at residency.

For example: Peer in my program suggested x, y, z. The faculty who I met with at advising recommended a, b, c. Due to faculty feedback regarding my methodology I changed it to a quantitative design so it is more aligned to my problem and research question.

Final Response:
Enter your “final response” in each column based on the feedback you received.

If the information did not change enter it here as well so the alignment is clear—do not leave any item blank and do not list “none”.

Reflection & Next Steps:

Reflect on your next steps for each component (column) based on the feedback and what you have learned during Residency 2. What do you need to do to prepare for Residency 3 (e.g. Read, annotate, network, build skills, use resources, etc.}

 

 

 

 

 

 

How you might network to find available data sources or feasible data collection sites?

REFERENCES: (APA Format) At least three empirical articles and one theory book or article.

GUIDELINES FOR

RESIDENCY 2

FINAL ASSIGNMENT: You will develop the Final Assignment during each of the Residency 2 sessions. Residency 2 sessions were designed to help you learn how to develop and align research components.

The columns in the Final Assignment are the components needed in a research study. These components correspond to the topics in the Residency 2 seminars:

· Social Problem or

Significance in the Field

– Seminar 1
· Background / Literature

Review

– Seminars 2 and 3
·

Meaningful Gap in

the

Research Literature

(or Research Gap) – Seminars 1 and 4

· Possible Research Question – Seminar 5

· Theories or Conceptual

Framework

– Seminar 5

· Tentative Method of Inquiry – Seminar 5

The rows in the Final Assignment represent the iterative process of developing your research ideas. To complete the Final Assignment, there are four actions:

· 1st row: Write your initial ideas/thoughts for each item.

· 2nd row: Gather feedback from others on those items.

· 3rd row: Finalize your thoughts about each item.

· 4th row: Reflect on what you need to do to move forward.
