- Program Outcome
Program Outcome number one (1): Synthesize educational issues related to information literacy resulting in the creation of new practices.
- Name and Description of Each Artifact
1.) Annotated Bibliography Entries 2-12 (u09a1): EDD 8332 – Program Planning and Evaluation in Adult Learning Settings. Completed on 06/09/2019.
2.) Action Research Study Report & Literature Review (u08a1): EDD 8304 – The How-To of Becoming an Action Researcher. Completed on 08/31/2018.
- Purpose of the Artifacts
The annotated bibliography artifact served several purposes. First, it provides a full collection of researched sources (books, articles, and documents) that are directly related to my proposed project. The collection of these sources will allow me to easily retrieve necessary resource materials during my doctoral process and Capstone Project. Another purpose for the annotated bibliography is also the option of utilizing it within a research document, which will inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of resources cited. For this artifact I gathered and researched (12) peer reviewed books and articles relevant to my Capstone Topic, providing a brief, but thorough description of authors theoretical approach on the topic.
The Action Research Study Report & Literature Review artifact served the purpose of educating me on how to utilize my skills to become a scholarly researcher to address and describe in documented form through the research principles (Introduction, Method, Results/Findings, and Discussion/Conclusion). A nine-page research paper was constructed with an introduction describing an issue for research (Improving and Motivating Students to Read). Using the research principle method, a collection of related authors on the issue were compared on similarities and differences in a Literature Review.
- The Artifact as Evidence
