Download or read book Completing a Professional Practice Dissertation written by Jerry W. Willis and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of both established and newly developed doctoral programs are focusing on the preparation of practitioners rather than career researchers. Professional doctorates such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of Education (EdD), Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), Doctor of Professional Studies (DProf or DPS), and the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) are, in fact, just a few of the professional doctorates being offered today. Professional doctorates are the fastest growing segment of doctoral education. The nature of the dissertation and the process of completing a dissertation can be quite different in a professional practice doctoral program but there are few resources for both students and faculty involved in completing and mentoring such dissertations. This book was written specifically for students and faculty involved in professional practice dissertation work. It addresses both the tasks and procedures that professional practice dissertations have in common with dissertations in "research" doctoral programs as well as the tasks and issues that are more common in professional practice doctoral programs. For example, negotiating entry into applied settings and securing the cooperation of practicing professionals is covered, as are alternative models for the dissertation (e.g., the "three article dissertation" or "TAD"). The book also covers tasks such as getting IRB approval for applied dissertation research conducted in the field and how to propose and carry out studies based on applied and professional models of research. This book, written by three experienced mentors of professional practice dissertation students, is the comprehensive guide for both students and faculty.

The dissertation process can be an arduous task, but this step-by-step guide uses a published dissertation as its foundation. Writing a dissertation does not have to be a complicated process to complete. Consequently, this book will provide the necessary insights that can assist in demystifying the critical components of a well written and thought out dissertation. I wrote this book because I understand the significance of working towards earning a doctoral degree can be challenging to navigate. While on the doctoral journey, I went through the trials and tribulations of rewriting and rewriting until committee members and academic quality reviewers approved the chapters. Since completing the journey, I wanted to help others navigate the rigors of pursuing a doctoral degree. After talking with another doctoral peer, the suggestion was made that I should author and publish a book based on the quantitative methodology. As a result, this book provides step-by-step guidance on how I completed my dissertation. The significance of this book is that it gives detailed information on how to develop paragraphs, sections, chapters, which will eventually culminate in a completed proposal or dissertation. Since completing the doctoral journey, I thought to author this book was ideal timing, while the process of writing a dissertation was fresh in my mind. During the writing of this book, it was an exhilarating feeling because, as I thought about what to write, a multitude of memories were experienced. Some of the memories not so good, but others were great such as passing the dissertation defense and then being called Dr. Waddell afterward. I want to take the time to acknowledge everyone that was a part of my journey. There are too many people to thank by name, but they all know that I appreciate the support and assistance to become Dr. Carey D. Waddell. Finally, it is my sincere hope that with some of the step-by-step guidance from this book will help you become Dr. [insert your name].

The students who do not get their degree are most likely in a terminal ABD state. The personal and career consequences of a terminal ABD can be devastating. To respond to this problem, Dr. Jill Blackwell, a successful Dissertation Chair and Dissertation Consultant wrote the book of how to finish your dissertation. The red book contains templates for hard to understand dissertation sections, concrete and specific instructions for developing the study and manuscript, and samples of all dissertation sections for students to go from blank pages to a completed dissertation in a short amount of time. Specific instructions and samples for both qualitative and quantitative methods and their designs. The focus is on the essentials.

Other books in this category may not contain enough concrete information to result in action. This book is different. The goal is to empower the graduate student, get things right the first time, and develop the dissertation manuscript to get it approved.

Download or read book A Step by Step Guide on Writing the Dissertation written by Amanfi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a significant step towards helping doctoral learners write better proposals and the final dissertation. The book walks the learner through all the sections of my dissertation and describes, paragraph-by-paragraph, how each section may be written succinctly and correctly. Although my original dissertation was a qualitative single case study, students can relate the step-by-step directions in the book to their own qualitative studies regardless of their specific research design. Although all learners pursuing qualitative studies would benefit from the book, those pursuing a case study design, or a descriptive design would benefit the most. If you are planning to use the thematic data analysis in your qualitative doctoral research, you will find this book most helpful. I also recommend that you get the 4-Step Thematic Data Analysis with MAXQDA textbook for the complete, step-by-step walk-through of how to analyze your qualitative data. In this book, Chapters 1 through 3 are aimed at those working on the Prospectus and on the Proposal whereas Chapters 4 and 5 are aimed at those working on the final Dissertation.
