Overview

For this assignment, you will provide a synthesized review of the scholarly literature and address the theoretical foundations or practice orientation for your study. Your supporting evidence should include:

• Primary orientation.
• Efforts to address the problem.
• Synthesis of evidence.

Your project questions should illuminate the gap in literature and align with topic, problem, and evidence.

Refer to the Virtual ResidencyLinks to an external site. Campus page for your PhD or Professional Doctorate program's Project Plan Guide. Remember, the Project Plan helps you develop the details of your project. Your work will be viewed through multiple lenses, including those of instructors, peers, the existing literature, and other sources. You should seek out opportunities to improve and refine your work. As you deepen your understanding and add detail to your project, you should expect to make several revisions throughout and beyond this course. Doctoral project planning is an iterative process, with each revision often inspiring further revisions until everything is aligned. These iterations are a necessary and customary part of the doctoral journey.

Instructions

Use your Project Plan Template and guide to complete the following:

Supporting Evidence

• Explain how the proposed study will add or contribute to a better understanding of the theoretical foundation of the problem or contribute to a better understanding of practice.
• Explain the proposed gap supported by scholarly literature or the practical implications of the proposed study.
• Synthesize a review of the scholarly literature to expose, explain, and analyze previous scholarly efforts to address the project or problem.

Project Questions

• List one or more project questions that align with the topic, problem, and supporting evidence within the program.
  • Include a list of terms and definitions that relate to the program, topic, problem, gap, program, and project framework.
• Describe your target population.
• Describe the background for your study and how your question relates to the background of the study. Discuss previous studies and demonstrate exactly how your project (answering the question, applying to practice) will advance the scientific knowledge base on this topic. Consider the following guidance:
  • Questions should be appropriate for the knowledge gap and current state of knowledge (supporting evidence).
  • Questions are cast using the variables or phenomena under study. The variables or phenomena in the questions are identical to the variables discussed in the problem and specific theory gap.
  • Questions are explicit in naming the type of relationship or phenomenon under study.
  • When answered, questions will make a contribution to theoretical or practical foundations. The contribution to the academic field and to the theoretical foundation must speak to how the relationship among the variables or to the phenomenon addresses the knowledge gap previously identified.
