TO PREPARE
- Review the Literature Review Assignment resources in the Week 8 learning resources.
- Review Appendix D appraisal Tool Selection Algorithm found in Bissett et al., (2025) pp. 224-227. This tool will assist you in the decision making process of selecting pre-appraised, single study, and/or anecdotal evidence.
- Note: Be sure to review Appendices B, E1, E2, E3, G2, and H in the Bissett et al., (2025) text. These appendices are also found in the Week 8 learning resources. You will be required to complete and submit Appendices B, G2, and H for this Assignment.
- Select an organization with which you are familiar and a practice or organization issue which needs addressing.
Note: You may reuse organizations and/or issues that you selected earlier in this course or select new ones. - Consider possible practice questions to address the issue you selected. Ask yourself:
- Why is it a problem?
- What has been done about it?
- What is the gap in practice?
- Select one practice question to develop using Appendix B.
- Using the Walden Library, search the evidence to identify 15 or more recent peer-reviewed articles (within the past 5 years) related to your practice question.
Note: Use Appendices E1, E2, E3 to help you search, but you do not need to submit these for grading. - Using Appendix H, grade the evidence and select the 10 articles with the strongest evidence ratings.
Note: if you have more than 10 articles that you deem worthy, you can enter up to 15 into Appendix H. - Using Appendix H, synthesize the 10 articles you selected.
- Using Appendix G2, enter all relevant information about the 10 articles you selected and synthesized.Note: This is a three-part Assignment. By Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G2, and H found in the Week 8 learning resources.
THE ASSIGNMENT
For this three-part Assignment, you will submit three items as follows:
Part 1: Submit your completed Appendix B, which demonstrates your fully developed practice question.
Part 2: Submit your completed Appendix H, which demonstrates your grading and synthesizing of the evidence you identified. Note: You will complete Appendix H before Appendix G2, despite being out of order alphabetically.
Part 3: Submit your completed Appendix G2, which lists the relevant information about the evidence you selected.
Note: These resources were previously presented in Week 8 and 9.
