HOMELESSNESS AMONG WOMEN VETERANS

Assignment 2: Theoretical Perspective and Literature Review For this assignment the student is expected to (a) construct a literature map, (b) identify a theoretical perspective, and (c) write a study-by-study literature review. The following guidelines, along with a review of the chapter titled Reviewing the Literature and the library training, will assist in the completion of this assignment. Be sure to review the automated presentations in Module 5 on the Use of Theory. Literature Map A literature map is a visual presentation of the theory and major sections and subsections related to the problem statement. There are two major types of maps: a hierarchical and circular design. For this assignment you are to construct a modified version of a hierarchical literature map (see Figure 3.7, pg. 96 for example and example on next page). Use the following diagram below as a starting point:Be sure to include the in-text reference following each of the categories within the map, and then provide the full reference at the end of the assignment. Include a brief introduction to the map. Review the example for further clarification: The literature map illustrates the problem (need), improving teacher self-efficacy in the classroom, as being grounded in Bandura’s (1977) social cognitive theory. Teachers are generally distinguished as novice and experienced. Within this framework, major categories are hierarchically delineated such as burnout, academic achievement, the environment, and job satisfaction. Example map: Theoretical Perspective The theoretical perspective (sometimes referred to as the theoretical framework, lens, or foundation) can be located in the discipline-based literature. The theory is typically identified once the student has identified the problem statement and reviews the discipline-based literature for the background and significance of the problem. After examining recent studies that have addressed the problem, one overarching theory should be identified. Use the following script to write out the theoretical perspective: The theory based on the problem of___(problem) is grounded in the ___(theory and name). This theory was originally developed by ___(name and year) and was primarily used to study ___ (identify topics where this theory was applied including sources). The theory of___(theory name) indicates that___(discuss premise and propositions of theory in several sentences). Literature Review A study-by-study literature review provides a detailed summary of each study as indicated by the major theme represented in the literature map. Each study is presented in a manner that leads the reader to the next study using transitional techniques. Review the examples and descriptions of study-by-study reviews provided in the chapter titled Reviewing the Literature. Novice Teachers The need to improve teacher self-efficacy in the classroom Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977, 1997) Experienced Teachers Sources of Efficacy Information e.g., verbal persuasion (Labone, 2004) Antecedents of Teacher Efficacy (Moran & Hoy, 2010) Teacher Efficacy and Burnout (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2010; Egyed & Short, 2006) Academic Achievement (Wheatley, 2002) Conditions and Environment (Schunk & Meece, 2006) Collective Teacher Efficacy (Goddard & Goddard, 2006) Job Satisfaction (Blackburn & Robinson, 2010) Identify a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed research articles derived from primary sources. Use only Primary sources and do not use Secondary sources (see Figure below for explanations). 10/9/2015 Homelessness among Women Veteans http://academicassistersblog.com/homelessness­among­women­veteans/ 3/4 Source Definition Example Primary Report of scientific discoveries, experiments, and/or clinical trials. The results are factual, not interpretive. Published results in any refereed journal or book of specific research studies, scientific experiments, or clinical trials. Secondary Analyzes and interprets research results, scientific discoveries. Publications about the significance of research or experiments, clinical trials in magazines, websites, or news media. Use the following guiding points to assist in the presentation of each study:?Include headings and subheadings ? Provide a detailed description of the study including the problem statement ? Discuss the intent or implied objectives of the study ? Explain the design and approach to collect the data ? Provide a summary of the results ?Include transitional statements linking one study to the next Following the study-by-study review, a concluding or summary paragraph should be included. Summarize all the major themes and the primary results of the findings. Briefly discuss how the review sets the premise or foundation for the presentation of a purpose statement and research questions. Also, briefly discuss whether or not the ensuing study should be quantitatively or qualitatively oriented. The presentations in Module 5 will help with this clarification.

Prepare a Case Analysis on the topic of Strategic Management.

The Case Analysis should be a minimum of 3 pages long, double-spaced. Check
for correct spelling,

grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and usage. Citations should be in APA
style.

Case Analysis Question: What is Strategic Management, and why is it critical
to the success of an

organization in meeting its goals and mission?

Your analysis of this case and your written submission should reflect an
understanding of the critical

issues of the case; integrate the material covered in the text; and present
concise and well-reasoned

justifications for the stance that you take.

Case Analysis Criteria: Your Case Analysis should consist of:

4 | P a g e

? A brief analysis of the situation and pending-decision problem, as
presented in the case, and

as relevant to your answer. This should be exceptionally brief and you
should assume the

person reading the Assignment is familiar with the details of the case.

? Identification of the major issues surrounding the organization or
individuals involved with the

organization.

? Identification of alternate courses of action to address the issues
identified.

? The decision or recommendation for action, with the appropriate supporting
arguments.

? The Case Question is designed to guide the direction of your analysis in
the case. Your

analysis should address and ultimately answer the question.

You may discuss your Case Analysis Assignment with the class and Team
Members (and you are

encouraged to post on the Discussion Board), but you must submit your own
original work.

Case Analysis Tips: Avoid common errors in case analyses, such as:

1. Focusing too heavily on minor issues.

2. Lamenting because of insufficient data in the case and ignoring

creative alternatives.

3. Rehashing of case data — you should assume the reader knows the case.

4. Not appropriately evaluating the quality of the case's data.

5. Obscuring the quantitative analysis, making it difficult to understand.

Typical “minus (-)” grades result from submissions that:

• are late.

• are not well integrated and lack clarity.

• do not address timing issues.

• do not recognize the cost implications or are not practical.

• get carried away with personal biases and are not pertinent to the key
issues.

• are not thoroughly proofread and corrected.

Directions for Submission: Before you submit your Case Analysis, you should
save your work on

your computer in a location that you will remember. Save the document using
the naming convention:

CIS 500 Term Paper Mobile Computing and Social Networks

Question
	
erm Paper Mobile Computing and Social Networks
Due Week 10 and worth 200 points
There are thousands of iPhone Apps, iPad Apps, and Android Apps that have been developed to perform a myriad of tasks and processes. Initially, most of these applications were games intended to be played on mobile devices. The popularity of these applications led businesses to ponder whether some of their business process applications that run on desktop platforms and the Web could be redesigned to run on mobile devices. The answer was a resounding yes!
For example, Nationwide developed the Nationwide® Mobile, a free iPhone App that allows its insurance policyholders to file a claim on the spot when an accident occurs. The application can snap pictures of the accident and attach them to the claim data and upload the claim information to a server. This reduces the length of time to process a claim filed this way. Nationwide competitors have followed suit and developed iPhone, iPad, and Android applications of their own. Policyholders can receive messages via Facebook or Twitter.
Other business processes that have been reengineered as a result of mobile computing include Quick Response (QR) codes which have replaced onedimensional bar codes. They are read using mobile devices, accepting credit card payments from an iPhone, iPad or Android device, depositing checks using an iPhone without visiting a bank, and many more.
Write a ten to fifteen (1015) page term paper in which you
Assess the effectiveness and efficiency mobilebased applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload to a processing server without users having to use a desktop system.
Evaluate benefits realized by consumers because of the ability to gain access to their own data via mobile applications.
Examine the challenges of developing applications that run on mobile devices because of the small screen size.
Describe the methods that can be used to decide which platform to support, i.e., iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone, or Android.
Mobile applications require high availability because end users need to have continuous access to IT and IS systems. Discuss ways of providing high availability.
Mobile devices are subjected to hacking at a higher rate than nonmobile devices. Discuss methods of making mobile devices more secure.
