Introduction
___ Start at top of page (in Word: Insert tab Pages Page Break). Each Chapter, References, and each Appendix shall start at the top of the page.
Recording of Syllabus Part 3 Capstone Plan
3.B. Chapter 1
(1 point)
___ write an introductory paragraph. The first paragraph in Chapter 1 is simply an introduction paragraph that sets the stage for your topic. It does not have a heading. Keep the bolded headings intact and write your own text underneath each one. Delete the instructions afterwards and submit a clean (only with your own work) document in Blackboard.
Background of the Study
(2 points)
___ the background of the study is what led you to recognize your topic as an important one in TK-12 classrooms on a larger scale. The Background of the Study should contain two citations to support your thoughts. These citations should only come from peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last ten years.
Statement of the Problem
(1 point)
___ the statement of the problem is an area of concern that exists in classrooms or schools that interests you as an educator. It is not dependent on you doing any research; it can be found in many classrooms. However, it may be a problem that you encounter with your own students. See Assignment 1 of SPD695 to get you started.
Purpose of the Study
(1 point)
___ the purpose of this study is to teach a NEW measurable behavior (skill); it should not be about decreasing undesired behaviors (where we can use behavior management strategies, which were targeted in earlier courses).
___ the purpose of the study has to match your research question like a mirror image, so the same verbiage you use in the purpose of the study has to also appear in your research question.
Audience
(1 point)
___ who will benefit from your findings?
Significance of the Study
(2 points)
___ in one paragraph, describe why your proposed research is important. Address how your study will expand our current understanding or fill gap in the research literature.
___ explain why your study will be important to its targeted population or other educators who are teaching your targeted population. What is the impact of your study if it were to be carried out and published – who would care and why? You will support your one or two main ideas about it importance with two APA citations from peer-reviewed articles or scholarly books, published in the last 10 years.
Research Question
(2 points)
___ state your RQ in a question format. Use the required format of your Capstone RQ. You are not trying to identify which interventions are best, etc. Instead, you should have already decided on an intervention, model, strategy, or instruction to research more in-depth in this course.
___ you can add in your RQ the level of prompting that the target behavior is required to be performed, e.g., independently, hand over hand, with picture prompts, when provided with sign language prompts, when the teacher provides.
___ if not specifically stated in the RQ, compose a sentence that identifies how you measure the dependent variable/behavior (e.g., percentage correct, responses per minute, errors to criterion, etc.)
NOTE: Make sure your Capstone RQ follows one of these formats and includes all the highlighted variables.
How effective is [this method of teaching] (independent variable) in teaching [X number] of students with [Y-type of disabilities] in or of [in elementary/high school/ 5th grade OR of 10-14 years-old] to [behavior or skill to be taught] (dependent variable)?
Other possible formats:
How effective is __________in teaching _______students with _________ in ________to _________?
Can _______be effective in teaching _____students with _________ in _______ to ________?
Is ________effective in teaching _____ students with_______ in ______ to ____________?
Assumptions
(4 points)
___ assumptions are what need to be in place for someone to replicate your study, like the fact that the teacher has extensive professional development training in the intervention area or that the principal has given permission for the study, etc.
___ you can make a paragraph with sentences, or you can list the assumptions in list (see below APA acceptable formats for a list), as long as you compose a preceding sentence in front of the list and you write your list in sentences (not just short phrases).
Limitations
(4 points)
___ limitations are what you, as a researcher, cannot control in the study, such as the number of years that teachers have been in the classroom, the teachers’ attitudes towards RTI strategies, the educational level of the parents, or the students’ medications that affect their attention spans.

Dissemination strategies are ways to develop recommendations to make a change or changes based on evidence that is effective, strong, compelling and provides consistent results (Melnyk, Fineout-Overholt, 2019). As nurses, we utilize scientific research and evidence based practice to guide us in our practice. When we incorporate dissemination approaches, tools and strategies, we professionally inform our team of new technology, practices or other information, in an effort to provide high quality healthcare to patients (Melnyk, Fineout-Overholt, 2019).
Two dissemination strategies I would be inclined to use are 1) nurse team meetings, such as huddle and 2) utilization of a PowerPoint presentation with EBP data (Gallagher-Ford, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Stillwell, 2011). I am a people person and enjoy connecting with others. I also appreciate and encourage input from others, therefore this active engagement is an effective way for me to discuss a project. PowerPoint presentations are an effective way to present evidence based practice information, without overloading the listener with too much data (Gallagher-Ford, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Stillwell, 2011). It is visually appealing. The presenter enforces the information by talking about it, showing the colorful slides and perhaps added pictures for additional enforcement (Gallagher-Ford, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Stillwell, 2011).
Strategies that I do not wish to use include email or texting and the use of pamphlets. Email and text messages do not always convey what the writer wishes to reader to understand. This form of communication is very informal and may get lost before it is even seen. There can be confusion about what is needed to make a change. Pamphlets are a waste of paper. There are so many words on the pages, and the reader often loses interest due to the fine print. Pamphlets often end up in the garbage, so I do not feel this promotes a best practice for patient care (Mick, 2017).
Barriers to the choices I made include a delay in presenting information that needs a change, due to individual schedules. If any part of the team of nurses are on vacation, out sick or have a different schedule, there is a delay in presenting the information and a further delay in implementing evidence based practice change. Other barriers to the nurse team meetings are the behavior of nurses who do not think there needs to be a change (Gallagher-Ford, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Stillwell, 2011). For example, nurses who believe that the way things are done work just fine and do not want change. Another barrier is not enough education on EBP. Staff may not understand EBP or how to implement it (Gallagher-Ford, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Stillwell, 2011).
While I do enjoy using Power Point Presentations, the microphone and computer equipment needs to work appropriately. To overcome issues with PowerPoint Presentations, the individual or team presenting the information should be available early to test the equipment, ensure the presentation is accurate and complete, then correct any problems prior to the presentation (Mick, 2017). Have an agenda for each member and work to stay within the confines of that agenda. Other barriers to overcome include the facility culture, whether it is one of civility or uncivil. Nurses who are encouraged to utilize EBP can overcome barriers through personal research, as well as daily practice and on the job learning (Mick, 2017). This on the job learning provides an avenue for nurses to incorporate change into their daily practice, so that it becomes natural (Mick, 2017). When nurses see the patient benefit from these practices, they are more inclined to continue the practice and encourage others to do the same.

[order_calculator]Specific Guidelines:
You are responsible for writing up an ACADEMIC style, twelve to fifteen page long paper (content), using APA (preferred) or MLA format that incorporates at least TEN sources.
The primary goal of this paper is to focus on one (or more, if you choose to (in their intersectionality) Globalization Concept(s), Issue(s), and Mechanism(s) for a particular setting (e.g., in any region of the world) on an example of an existing (and, advisably, urgent) issue in the area of your interest, AND use research to illuminate the depth and complexity of the concept/issue and argue your case of solving it.
Recommended FORMULA:
Begin with an interesting and powerful introduction (between 1 and 3 pages):
Begin by stating your theoretical research question. (E.g., refer to the globalization phenomenon you find fascinating, relevant, and paradox. Identify the relevance and salience of the issue to communication discipline).Very briefly refer to the literature that leads to your research question. You will need at least 10 academic sources for this paper. Refer to your research question and demonstrate why this is an important question.
Introduction of data (1 paragraph):
Flow into the data you will use to answer the research question. (E.g., an actual case study would be of use here) Explain why these data are appropriate for answering the question.
Overview of data (1 paragraph to a couple of pages):
Give an overview of the data so people who are unfamiliar with it will have a sense of it (this might include historical context).
Overview of analysis (1 paragraph):
Provide a brief overview of your analysis or your analytical categories. Preview findings that will answer your research question.
Presentation of analysis (the bulk of your paper9-11 pages):
Present your analysis, using as a structure the major findings or the major categories that emerged (i.e., conceptual schema). Within each category, present what youve found and give a few examples to support your idea. When you want to use quotes or theories of others as support, do not begin paragraphs with the quotes or discussions of the theories. Begin by making the point you want to make, and use others theories or quotes to support your ideas. Your thesis statements of paragraphs should be about what you want to say and not echo someone else. Your basic task here is to show your reader how you moved from your data to your claims.
Conclusion (1 to 2 pages):
Provide the theoretical answer to your research question. Tell the contribution you are making to the field. Do not simply summarize your findings. Transcend your data and answer the research question theoretically. (E.g., you will move beyond your particular case study here and address the umbrella aka meta subject of communication and globalization).
Note: As we go through the semester try to find an issue or topic that you have passion for and want to explore in depth. Use your short response essay (draft) to guide you your academic voice and your research focus.
Use Communication Studies journals as your credible sources including The Western Journal of Communication, Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, Howard Journal of Communications, Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, Research on Language and Social Interaction, Southern Journal of Communication, Communication Monographs, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, and Womens Studies in Communication).
Use of a Communication Claim/Argumentative Thesis (In this paper, I argue) is essential.
The paper should include: a separate and FORMAL Title page, 13 pages of written content, plus a References (APA style) OR Work Cited page (MLA style), so 15 pages TOTAL.
Grammar, organization, use of research, and uniqueness of contribution and/or argument are considered as part of the grade.
Use Double-spaced, 12-point New Times Roman font. From the get go, keep this paper in mind; chat with me about it by email or in person.
NO LATE PAPERS will be accepted.
General Guidelines:
For ALL papers and assignments in this course, you should keep the topic within the realm of Communication Studies.
Grammar, style, research, unique contributions and organization are considered as part of your evaluation/grade for all writing. A (Creative side: Academic side) TITLE should appear on every essay/paper. Finally, work to integrate and cite source material including communication journals, academic articles, and other related and credible academic texts.
AVOID using Wikipedia or .coms for ethos in your essay/paper (its a starting place, if anything); rather, use COMMUNICATION JOURNALS, academic books, and related academic journals from other related disciplines to boost your academic ethos.
AVOID copying and pasting from books/websites/sources without formally citing that work in an appropriate academic manner. If you use a source to help you write up your essay, formally cite it in text of the essay.

[order_calculator]Making a change can be great, but how we communicate this plan can influence how it will be received. The success of introducing technology into any system, especially a school system, is dependent largely on how the plan is communicated. Who do you talk to first? Where do you start getting buy in? In this module, we focused on communication and public relations. Create a communication plan to announce the adoption of podcast into your local public school or your place of employment. Identify and expand on the best practices in podcast from the last module and make all the necessary decisions. Who will make them, what are the best practices they will utilize, where will they be in the curriculum, etc.? Anticipate the questions you will have from your teachers, students, administrators, and parents. Then, take a look at the steps from WikiHow (located in the Learn material for Module 4) and develop your own communication plan. Be sure to include a timeline!Please use current APA format in citations. There is no minimum page count for this assignment, but it should have enough to fully complete each step from WikiHow.

[order_calculator]1) Objective: You will create an applied-learning project in the form of your choice that reflects your creative interests as well as the historians expectations in primary and secondary source research. The subject matter can be one of your choice, but it must fall within this courses subject and geographic scope: American history to 1865. In its final form, this project should be of such a high quality that it could be consumed by general and/or academic audiences.
2) Options: While the format is up to you and your creative interests, you must clear the project with me before beginning. You are welcome to write a traditional history research essay if you like. But your applied-learning projects can go beyond that form. Here is a list of suggested options: podcast, documentary, lesson plan, slide presentation with voice-over, play, musical piece, game (board, RPG, video game), website, digital archive, academic poster, historical fiction, or legislative proposal. Feel free to suggest other options as well.
3) Research Requirements: Your research must be based on original research conducted with primary sources. Your selection of sources should reflect your creativity and willingness to investigate different kinds of historical materials. This means going beyond Google and locating research repositories around the world. For starters, refer to the Internet Modern History Sourcebook which is posted on Canvas. Regardless, the number of sources and size of the project should be cleared with me before beginning. As a baseline, I expect you to have at least three substantive primary sources and five substantive secondary sources to ground your project.
4) Project Requirements:
a) Argumentative Foundation: All projects must take an informed argumentative stance that reflects critical interpretations of the available evidence and scholarship.
b) Historiography: Your project must be well grounded in the scholarly work already done in your selected or related field, and audiences should know where your research fits in the body of already published work.
c) Body of Evidence: This is your best chance to convince your audience that your argument is sound. Be sure to consider some of the following questions: Is it organized logically? Am I analyzing the evidence (explaining why it happened or why it is significant)? Am I analyzing it appropriately? Am I making sense of my evidence in a way that is sensitive to the subjects already-existing literature? Is my evidence useful or relevant (or am I including it simply because I did the research)? Are there any exceptions to my presented arguments or evidence?
d) Conclusion: This is your final effort to sell your argument.
5) Managing Sources:
a) Citation: You may use the citation style of your majors discipline: MLA, APA, or Turabian/Chicago.b) Bibliography: You must attach a complete and correctly styled bibliography or works cited list to your paper, indicating every source you used in preparing your project.
c) Quotations: Only use quotes to illustrate your points; dont use them to make your points for you. Be sure to analyze all of your quotes in a way that explains to the audience why they are significant enough to be added to your project for color. Also, be judicious with your use of lengthy/block quotes. If it feels like you are simply filling space, then you likely are. Remember, I am more interested in your intellectual constructions.
d) Visual Aids: If it is appropriate for your project to construct/include tables, graphs, images, timelines, or other illustrations, then do so. Quantitative studies usually demand representative tables. Pictures and portraits can effectively humanize and personalize studies. Just keep in mind that sizable visual aids will not go toward your page count for written assignments
