Research Literature Review (Competency 1, 4, and 7) This assignment builds on the problem statement and research questions assignment. Complete a literature review that includes both quantitative and qualitative studies and that builds the background and significance for your research question(s). This review should be organized around concepts that are important for understanding the topic and how these concepts relate to social work practice. The review should be 5-6 pages and end with research questions as well as testable hypotheses. Note those references and other relevant materials (e.g., tables and charts) SCWK 603 10 of 19 will not be counted towards the 5-6 pages. Please be sure to include your revised problem statement which will function as the introduction to your proposal. This assignment should be based on no fewer than 12 peer-reviewed journal articles or sources. Depending on your topic, the articles and sources cited should include both quantitative and qualitative research studies—based on analysis of empirical data. Students may include up to 3 articles that are a review of existing research (e.g., systematic reviews, meta- analyses) or a formulation of a conceptual framework based on a thorough literature review. All articles and sources should be properly cited and referenced using APA format. It is important to select and review your research articles carefully. Assessment of this assignment will be in part based on how thoroughly you have reviewed and critiqued the selected articles. A synthesis of the cited articles that justifies the relationship of independent variables to explaining or predicting your dependent variable(s) is necessary for developing a framework for your proposed research question. Furthermore, noting the strengths and limitations of the studies reported in the articles, as well as specifying how your research question(s) build upon existing research, is a necessary component to justifying your research question(s).
