Literature review

Part 1:

Conduct a literature review to explain a potential topic of interest (1-3 pages).

Provide a suitable working title that captures the essence of the topic.
Describe the topic you wish to explore for your dissertation-in-practice research. Your description of the topic can be broadly or narrowly defined. The essential requirement is that your description and explanation is sufficiently detailed so that somebody reading this will have a clear understanding of the central message you are attempting to convey.
Explain why the topic is personally and/or professionally relevant to you.
Your topic description must be supported by at least five peer-reviewed articles published within the past five years related to your selected topic. Do not include book chapters, books, editorials, white papers, trade magazine articles, or non-peer-reviewed sources.

Part 2:

Create an annotation for each of the five articles that you located in Part 1. Begin each annotation with an APA formatted reference. Then, annotate the source with a block paragraph. The annotation should be double spaced, 200-250 words.

The following prompts can be used to craft the summary of the annotated sources:

Provide a brief synopsis of the main points made in the article.
What was the problem the researcher(s) addressed?
What was the purpose of this research?
What are the research questions?
What research design and methods were employed in this research?
What were the findings or results of the research?
Conclude with your assessment of the overall quality of the article and the implications for future research.

Part 3:

After completing Parts 1 and 2, reflect on what insights you have developed about your topic. Summarize and discuss key themes that emerge from the articles that you reviewed to illustrate what you have learned (1-2 pages).

To address each component of this assignment, be sure to structure your presentation clearly using appropriate headings and subheadings.

Tips
Reminder: If you have not yet done so, be sure to schedule a time to conduct a video chat or phone conversation with your professor sometime within this first week of the course to receive feedback on your research interests and to help refine your ideas into a workable topic. You may want to consider scheduling this call after you receive feedback on your first assignment so that your professor can address any questions you may have.

Pretend your instructor knows nothing about the theories so you need to thoroughly define, explain, and describe the theories to make sure they understand. Describe the example with enough specific detail that the connection to the theory is clear.

Lives Well Lived

It is important that you review the readings and videos about theories prior to completing this activity. You need to have a clear understanding of the theories before attempting to apply them to the examples presented in this activity.

After you watch the video “Lives Well Lived”, complete the following worksheet. Tips for success:

  • Pretend your instructor knows nothing about the theories so you need to thoroughly define, explain, and describe the theories to make sure they understand.
  • Describe the example with enough specific detail that the connection to the theory is clear.
  1. Define life review and/or reminiscence processes. This concept comes from the 8th stage of Erikson’s psychosocial theory. Then provide one example from the film. (1 pt)
  2. Explain what Erikson’s 8th stage of development is (ego integrity vs. despair). Then provide 2 examples from the film of someone demonstrating they are in this stage. For each example, include your thoughts on what the person’s resolution to this stage might be (i.e., is it integrity OR despair) and explain why you think this is their resolution. Provide specific support from the film that illustrates the chosen resolution. (4 pts)
  3. Define the concept of Historical Context (which is a part of both the Life Course Theory and the Age Stratification Theory). Provide 2 examples of historical context from the film and explain how it has (or might) influence the person’s aging experience. (2 pts)
  4. Define age norm. Then, provide an example from the film of an elder either confirming or defying an age norm. Be sure you explain what the specific age norm is and if the elder in the film is confirms or defies it. (1 pt)
  5. Choose another theory from the course (e.g., life course theory, activity theory, gerotranscendence, bio/psycho/social theory, etc.). Define that theory. Then, provide an example of that theory from the film. Be sure to specify how/why the example you provide illustrates that theory. (2 pts)

Trauma Therapy Approach

4.RETERM PAPER
• Final R (25% of Final Grade) paper – 10 to 12 pages in length describing how student would address a particular trauma survivor using the material learned in class. This will include a rationale for what model or models of trauma therapy student selects, interventions student would use, and ways to determine effectiveness. APA format is required. (See Outline below)

TRAUMA THERAPY APPROACH– Term Paper – Outline

10 – 12 pages double-spaced; pages must be numbered; you must use APA format throughout the paper. A rubric will be given to guide your work.

Identify a person from a fictional or non-fictional book, movie, or tv series who has survived a traumatic experience.
Describe this individual, including: (Please talk about Marilyn Monroe)
• A bio-psychosocial history of the person. Be sure to address any gaps in your knowledge of the person’s history. For example, you might not know about the person’s family of origin, cultural identity, or childhood trauma. Identify and describe traumatic experience(s) that the person survived.
• How does the trauma appear to have impacted their life with both positive and negative effects.
• Discuss the person’s positive and negative coping methods.
• Include a timeline of the person’s development of when the trauma occurred and any difficulties they experienced.
3. Choose one or more of the models that we studied this semester and how you might work with the person to address any posttraumatic issues or symptoms. Provide a rationale for the model you have chosen – why this model for this persons.
4. Describe two interventions you would try with this person, and discuss how you would determine the effectiveness.
5. Using APA format, cite references in the text and provide a reference list at the end. Papers with incorrect format will be graded down a half grade.

Explicitly discuss one cognitive theory and one cognitive concept or milestone. Explicitly discuss one socioemotional theory and one socioemotional concept or milestone.

Breakfast Club

Instructions:
The purpose of the movie analysis paper is to apply information learned in class to a film or documentary. As you write your paper, focus on your analysis of the movie as it relates to the developmental theories, concepts, and milestones, and avoid a basic summary of the movie. I’m familiar with each movie—focus on examples and analogies that relate to theories, concepts, and milestones of development.

Organization of any paper is an important first step. I’m offering two structural options to ensure you don’t leave out any important parts. As you discuss the theories, concepts, and milestones, remember to discuss the related developmental stage using examples from the movie. Regardless of which option you choose, here are the must-include pieces for every paper:
Explicitly discuss one biological theory and one biological concept or milestone.
Explicitly discuss one cognitive theory and one cognitive concept or milestone.
Explicitly discuss one socioemotional theory and one socioemotional concept or milestone.

A few important points:
1) know the difference between a theory and a concept or milestone, 2) know the difference between biological, cognitive, and socioemotional. To help you with these components of the paper, look to your textbook and the words used for description. Is the word “theory” in the title (e.g., Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory)? Then it’s a theory. If not, it is likely a concept or milestone. Also, use the chapter organization to help you determine if a theory, concept, or milestone represents a biological, cognitive, or socioemotional process.
One of the primary reasons that students lose points is that not all parts listed above are included in the paper. To help you remember, choose one of the following structures for organizing your paper.

Option 1: Structure your paper with a heading (bold lettering) for every theory (three total) and concept or milestone (three total).

Option 2: If you prefer a more fluid approach, rather than using headings, as you discuss each of the theories (three total) and concepts or milestones (three total), bold each (e.g., Piaget’s Cognitive Theory, Egocentricsm) in the text. Using this approach, I should see bolded words throughout your text that will easily alert me to each of your theories, concepts, or milestones. Once you bold a theory, concept, or milestone once, you do not need to bold the words subsequently.

Overall, your paper should be a MINIMUM of three COMPLETE pages. Avoid excessive margins and follow the guidelines of APA formatting (information available in Blackboard). Remember to edit because you are expected to write at a college level. Also, pay special attention to avoid plagiarism. Always cite (APA style) information you gathered from a source.

Create a professional presentation of 10 to 15 slides (not including title and reference slides), using a digital tool of your choice. Discuss the role of attachment, developmentally appropriate interactions, and environmental factors in the developmental process.
