For this Discussion, you will evaluate the purpose statements in
assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the
alignment of theory, problem, and purpose. You will also
explain your position on the relationship between research and
social change.
Alignment means that a research study possesses clear and
logical connections among all of its various components. To
achieve these connections, researchers must carefully craft the
components of their study such that when they are viewed
together, there is a coherent interrelationship.
As you read the authors’ purpose statements, consider how well
the intent of the study, and its connection to the problem and
theoretical framework, is presented. Also consider if the
purpose statement reveals the study’s potential for engendering
positive social change.
As you know, social change is a distinguishing feature of
Walden University’s mission. Positive social change implies a
transformation that results in positive outcomes. This can
happen at many levels (e.g., individual, family systems,
neighborhoods, organizations, nationally and globally); and
positive social change can occur at different rates: slow and
gradual or fast and radical.
With these thoughts in mind, refer to the
Journal Articles
document for your assigned articles for this Discussion.
By Day 4
Post
a critique of the research study in which you:
Evaluate the purpose statement.
The
Purpose Statement Checklist
serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to
the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion
post.
Analyze alignment among the theory, research problem, and
purpose.
Explain your position on the relationship between research and
social change.
