Task Summary
In this paper, you should identify and outline specific themes in the literature review for the study. As you critically review and synthesize the research literature, you should also discuss the rationale and the theoretical significance of the study. You make an argument based on the research literature, to support the need for the study. The paper should include an assessment of the theoretical, conceptual frameworks, evidence-based practices, and/or controversial issues of the research. An abstract is NOT required. However, an APA references page is required. There is a five page maximum for the literature review. There should be a minimum of at least 15 references, majority of which should come from peer reviewed journal articles.
According to the APA manual, literature reviews are critical evaluations of material that has already been published. In a literature the author:
Defines and clarifies the problem
Summarizes previous investigations to inform the reader of the state of research
Identifies relations, contradictions, gaps, and inconsistencies in the literature
Suggest the next step or steps in solving the problem (APA, 2009, p. 10).
Please the APA manual for further information on how to write a literature review.
You may organize the content of the literature review in any way but be sure to include the following content:
Introduction – Have an introductory paragraph to communicate the importance of the issue. Why should this issue warrant attention? You could cite the statistics on the number of people that are affected by the problem and the effects of the problem on well-being. Discuss the importance of your research topic. Develop these ideas further in subsequent paragraphs. What are the controversies in the field? Make clear which studies fall on either side of the controversy. If there are no controversies, you should describe the research themes in your area of research. You are expected to reference research in the introduction (6 points).
Evidence Based Practices – Survey, discuss, and analyze the evidence-based interventions used in the proposed study. Assess and critically evaluate the interventions and the outcomes of those studies. You should make a direct connection of the research literature to the proposed intervention and outcome measures. Because of page limitations, the focus of the presentation should be on the results of the studies rather than a description of the methodology. (12 points)
Critical Analysis & Synthesis – As you survey and analyze the research literature, be sure to integrate, synthesize and critically evaluate the current literature. What are the gaps in the research and how will your research contribute to the conceptual and clinical literature? What is the importance of your research question? (12 points)
Theory & Practice Model – What is the specific theory that guides the intervention? How does the theory explain the changes in the DV? Analyze the problem using the tenets of the theory by integrating specific concepts of the theory into your explanation. How does the theory help us understand your client’s problem? How does the practice model affect the selection of the a) assessment procedures and intervention; b) the measurement of the dependent variable/variables? (12 points)
Research Question & Hypothesis – Identify your research question (based on the protocol that we had discussed in class), and hypothesis/hypothesis in your concluding paragraph. Your research question should be written in a neutral manner. (6 points)
