RESIDENCY 2 First ASSIGNMENT: Aligning Research Components Matrix: This is a working document for you to start and revise during the residency sessions as you work towards alignment.We don’t expect you to know now what will be your dissertation focus.Start with something close to your interests. Align the components as you develop your thinking. We expect your final dissertation will be different after many more iterations. The boxes will expand as you type.  (See Guidelines and Rubric below).    Name: Residency   Cohort:Cohort Leader:    College/School:    Specialization:    Working Title for your Dissertation (12 words or less):    Problem Statement Aligned Research Design   Dissertation Prospectus Rubric Quality   Indicators Meaningful,   Justified, and Impact (related to specialization} Original Grounded Feasible   and Objective    Research Components to Align Social Problem of Significance in the Field What is the   social problem? Why is it important to address?  What   stakeholders would care? You can use   citations.  Background/Literature Review List key words and search terms   to explore. Add at least 3 empirical references below. Research Problem / Meaningful Gap in Literature What researchable problem   relates to the broader social problem in column 1? What might not have been   researched about it? (Gap) Possible Research Question(s) Theories or Conceptual Framework Add at least one citation here   and reference at end. Tentative Method of Inquiry List possible   method and provide 2-3 sentences justifying the choice.   Fill in each section as you develop ideas.  Seminar 1 Seminar 2 and 3 Seminar 1 and 4 Seminar 4 Seminar 5 Seminar 5   Initial   idea(s) during seminars 1-5               Peer   and Faculty feedback and networking:Gather feedback on your idea from at   least one faculty and one peer at residency. For example:Peer   in my program suggested x, y, z.The   faculty who I met with at advising recommended a, b, c. Due to faculty   feedback regarding my methodology I changed it to a quantitative design so it   is more aligned to my problem and research question.               Final   Response:Enter your “final response” in each column based   on the feedback you received.  If the information did not change   enter it here as well so the alignment is clear—do not leave any item blank   and do not list “none”.               Reflection   & Next Steps: Reflect on your next steps for each   component (column) based on the feedback and what you have learned during   Residency 2. What do you need to do to prepare for Residency 3 (e.g. Read, annotate,   network, build skills, use resources, etc.}           How you might network to find available data sources   or feasible data collection sites?   REFERENCES: (APA Format) At least three empirical articles and one   theory book or article. GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENCY 2 FINAL ASSIGNMENT: You will develop the Final Assignment during each of the Residency 2 sessions.Residency 2 sessions were designed to help you learn how to develop and align research components. The columns in the Final Assignment are the components needed in a research study. These components correspond to the topics in the Residency 2 seminars: Social Problem or Significance in the Field - Seminar 1 Background / Literature Review - Seminars 2 and 3 Research Problem / Meaningful Gap in the Literature - Seminars 1 and 4  Possible Research Question - Seminar 5 Theories or Conceptual Framework - Seminar 5 Tentative Method of Inquiry - Seminar 5 The rows in the Final Assignment represent the iterative process of developing your research ideas. To complete the Final Assignment, there are four actions:  1st row: Write your initial ideas/thoughts for each item.  2nd row: Gather feedback from others on those items.  3rd row: Finalize your thoughts about each item. 4th row: Reflect on what you need to do to move forward.
