Depending on whether you are seeking a DBA or a PhD, it is of paramount importance that you identify an overall organizing structure in the literature using either a conceptual framework (DBA students) or theoretical framework (PhD students). As previously mentioned, it is important to be able to relate the issues discussed within the review to theory or other frameworks that already exist in the field. This will allow you to show how your study will contribute to practice and/or theory. For this assignment, you will identify how your literature review fits within a conceptual framework(s) or theoretical framework(s) within your specialization.

As you have been collecting and reading your scholarly sources thus far, you should have been noting the conceptual or theoretical frameworks used by the authors. This was part of digesting the information within a scholarly source that you worked on in Weeks 2 and 3. In addition, you have been working to form themes in developing your outline in Week 4 and noting what frameworks were used within each theme/(sub)topic. In Weeks 5 and 6, you summarized, critically analyzed, and synthesized the literature you collected thus far. All the while, you also continued to collect additional scholarly sources, write, receive feedback on your writing, incorporate that feedback, and continue on. In other words, you have been partaking in the iterative process of writing a literature review. This assignment is geared toward further honing your literature review by helping you determine the conceptual or theoretical framework that you will use to couch your paper.

Look back at the scholarly resources you have read thus far. Describe the conceptual and/or theoretical frameworks used by the authors.
Compare and contrast how your topic relates to each of those frameworks used.
Based on your analysis, which framework best applies to your topic? Note that you may find that none of the frameworks seem to really fit your topic. This is a normal part of the writing process. If you find this is the case, please explain how the frameworks in your sources do not fit your topic. This should help illuminate where you should search in the literature to find a framework that applies to your study, which you can then discuss here.
Justify why this conceptual/theoretical framework applies to your topic area and literature search. Also ensure your chosen framework reflects your degree type.
Discuss how the framework interweaves into your literature review.

An undergraduate psychology degree provides you with some flexibility when selecting a career. The knowledge of how people think, develop, and behave, as well as the interpersonal skills gained from a BA in psychology may lead to work in the field, but also prepares you well for careers in the fields of public service, marketing, or management, among others. Because most professional careers in psychology require further education, those who do not wish to pursue graduate degrees may need to broaden the scope of careers they are willing to consider.

 

In M1 Assignment 2, you explored your career interests and identified three careers that seemed best suited for you. In this assignment, you will conduct a mock job search and report your findings using the “Job Search Data Bank” form. (I chose anesthesiologist, dermatologist, and neurologist)

 

Mock Job Search

 

Select one of the three careers you identified and discussed in M1 Assignment 2 and conduct a job search for actual openings in your area. If you are willing to eventually relocate, you may choose openings elsewhere as well. You may choose to use at least one source or all of the following sources to find available positions in your chosen career of interest:

 

• Local newspaper ads (online or printed editions) (Oregon)
• Networking websites such as LinkedIn
• Networking with colleagues, peers, or other contacts
• Your state employment office
• Listings on professional organizations’ websites

 

Refer to the “Job Resources” document to find additional online sources relating to online job searches.

 

Job Search Data Bank

 

Click here to download and review a copy of the “Job Search Data Bank” template. Provide the results of the mock job search you completed for this assignment by filling out the table in the template.

 

• Begin by summarizing your career interests. Briefly describe what you concluded from Module 1 about the types of positions best suited to your career interests. For example, if you are most interested in a career as a psychologist, would you prefer to pursue a position in a clinic, a private practice, or a nonprofit organization? Would you prefer to specialize in working with children? Do you hope to have a research or teaching position instead?
• List at least four positions you found during your job search. These four positions should match the interests you identified in Module 1.
  • Describe each position fully, providing as much of the available information as possible from the ads. Copy the ads and paste them into the table.
• For each identified job opening, indicate the likelihood of your being eligible for the position upon graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree.
  • If you would be ineligible, specify what additional training or education you would require to qualify for the position.
  • Indicate whether you are willing to pursue that additional training or education.
  • Describe the amount of time, the cost, and other resources you think you would need to invest to become qualified.
• Put the information in your own words. Place quotation marks around the portions you have quoted from the ads. Cite your sources using APA style in-text citations and a reference list in APA style below your table in the “Job Search Data Bank” template provided

Way back at the beginning of the semester, I asked you to think about both your experiences writing and yourself as a writer. You considered questions such as whether or not you like writing and what your strengths and weaknesses as a writer are. As we come to the end of the semester, I want you to ithink about how you feel about writing now and how you view yourself as a writer. Have any of your feelings or perceptions changed? Do you have the same sense of your strengths and weaknesses? Do you feel that you have made any improvements or that you have new strategies for approaching writing assignments?

Please note that, as the first paper was not a fishing expedition for comments about how much you love to write, this exam is not a fishing expedition for testimonials about how much of a difference this class has made for you. One semester is only a beginning to writing growth, and I’m not looking for you to blow smoke up my skirt, so to speak.

I want you to think about the work you have done this semester. Look over your drafts with your peers’ comments and with my comments. Look at the final papers you submitted. Think about the kind of changes you made. Write an essay in which you reflect upon your composing process and your development as a writer, thinker, and scholar over the course of the semester. Just as you have evaluated and critiqued the work of others over the semester, you will now apply those analytical skills to your own writing.

Really reflect on the work you’ve done this semester. You will apply what you have learned about effective writing and your own writing process to discuss (1) the texts you have composed over the semester (particularly the choices that you made regarding their initial composition and the revisions you made) and (2) your development as a writer (or lack thereof if that was your experience). As a guideline, consider the following suggestions taken from Portfolio Keeping when writing your introduction:

•&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ; Talk about specific revisions you’ve made and the improvements and changes that you want readers to notice.

•&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ; Demonstrate what the work you have done this semester illustrates about you as a writer, student, researcher, or critical thinker.

•&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ; Acknowledge the readers-respondents who have influenced your portfolio pieces and describe how.

•&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ; Reflect on what you’ve learned about writing, reading, or other topics of the course.

•&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ;&νβσπ; Include specific examples or passages from your workshop drafts or final drafts.

The essay should have an introduction that promotes the reader’s interest and gives some idea of the paper’s content. You must, as always, present a clear thesis. The thesis for this assignment should convey an evaluation of your work and development, and you must, as always, develop your thesis through logical organization and connect its various subpoints with sufficient transitions. You must also provide sufficient evidence from a variety of sources (i.e. your drafts, finished essays, peer and instructor comments) to support your claims and appropriately attribute and cite those sources.

Why are we doing this?

In completing the essay assignments this semester, and in interacting with your instructor and your peers throughout the writing process, you should have learned that effective, sustained, formal writing is ordinarily well planned and involves considerable effort. To demonstrate your growth as a writer, your understanding of your composing process, and your appreciation of rhetorical choices (particularly your own), you will compose a final essay that discusses your work and experiences this semester.
