Literature Review: Body
Details:
In the previous
assignment, you created an outline of the literature review (Chapter 2) for
your dissertation. The next step is to draft the body of the literature review.
The body of the literature review is its primary segment. It is here that the
actual review of the literature takes place. In this assignment, you will
construct a draft of the body of the literature review (Chapter 2) for your
proposal and dissertation.
General Requirements:
Use the following information
to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
- Refer to the
most recent dissertation prospectus template in the DC (dc.gcu.edu) for
details and criteria for the literature review (Chapter 2).
- Instructors
will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended
that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order
to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for
successful completion of the assignment.
- Doctoral
learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The
APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.

3- For
each empirical article, state the article title, the author, the research
question(s), the research sample, the research methodology, the gaps in the
study (what questions does the study raise?), and the research findings of the
study. For scholarly, non-empirical articles, state the article title and

4- Identify
at least three sub-themes that relate to each theme (six sub-themes total).
5- Identify

articles, state the article title and author, and provide a brief contextual
summary of the article.
7- Select

- Inferential
statistical tests for hypothesis testing (used to determine if the null
hypothesis is retained or rejected).

significance set by the researcher to test the hypothesis.
- Results of
the statistical tests performed (Was the result of each statistical test
