In a Word APA document, write a narrative summary using the Concept Mapping Knowledge Base / Research Methods on three pages (two content pages, 1 conclusion page), proposing a possible solution to a specific problem that identified in your workplace (Be specific in your answers). Also, describe the merits and limitations of perseverance and determination.
Instructions and definition of what a mapping is:
Structure: Concept mapping is an effective symphony of efficiency, not movement or wasted energy based on your problem statement.
Structuring your concept / mapping research according to a reader’s logic means examining your work and anticipating what the reader needs to know, and in what sequence, to grasp and be convinced by your argument as it unfolds. The easiest way to do this is to map your research ideas through a written narrative summary. This story will give you a preliminary record of your ideas and allow you to constantly remember the reader’s needs to understand your idea.
Concept map research asks you to predict where your reader will expect background information, counterarguments, detailed analysis from a primary source, or a change to material from the secondary source.
Try doing your research mapping like this:
Express your research in a sentence or two, then write another sentence saying why making that statement is important. In other words, indicate what a reader could learn by exploring the claim with you. Here you are anticipating your answer to the “why” question that you will eventually develop in your conclusion.
Begin your next sentence like this: “To be convinced of my claim, the first thing a reader needs to know is …”. Then say why that is the first thing a reader needs to know and mention one or two pieces of evidence that you think will justify the case. This will allow you to begin answering the “what” question. (Alternatively, you may find that the first thing your reader needs to know is background information.)
Begin each of the following sentences like this: “The next thing my reader needs to know is …”. Again, say why and name some evidence. Continue until you have plotted your investigation.
Your concept mapping / research should naturally take you through some preliminary answers to the basic questions of what, how, and why. However, it is not a contract; the order in which ideas appear is not rigid. Concept mapping is flexible; evolve with your ideas.
