What is a topic that will motivate you to want to explore it further? Try to focus in as much as possible. For example, if you are interested in education for gifted children, you may want to focus on the advantages/disadvantages of homogeneous grouping of gifted students. Why is it an exciting topic for you? Research Questions and Hypotheses. What are the similarities and differences between research questions and hypotheses? How should a researcher determine the use of a question or hypothesis? Create a research question that aligns to your chosen topic and then create a corresponding hypothesis. Make sure to identify and explain the similarities and differences in your own question and hypothesis. Research Topic. Once your research topic has been approved by your instructor, write a three- to five-page paper (excluding title and reference pages) and discuss what aspect(s) of your chosen topic interests you most. Write three research questions or hypotheses that correspond to the topic. You may use the questions/hypotheses you developed in this week’s second discussion if they pertain to the approved topic. Discuss the process by which you selected and formed your research questions and hypotheses and the challenges you experienced in writing them. Make sure you identify how you applied the rules of educational research while developing your research topic. Include your assessment of the principal types of educational research and determine what type of research your topic will align with best. Your paper must be formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center and your approved APA style guide. Make sure to use at least two scholarly sources to support your application of educational research. Week 2 Pros and Cons of Literature Sources. Describe the pros and cons of different sources of literature including the library, online libraries, academic journals, and World Wide Web resources. Also, discuss the differences between primary and secondary sources and why it is important to focus on primary sources in your literature review. For your topic, list two primary sources and two secondary sources that you are considering using. Provide links or reference information for both. Managing Literature Sources. Explore online resources such as WebNotes and Zotero. What services do they offer? What are the benefits of each? What are the pitfalls? In addition, create an account using the RefWorks tool located on the Ashford Library website. Become familiar with all of the features RefWorks provides. Describe three of the features that you found useful and how you would use each. Explain how RefWorks can assist you in reaching your educational goals. Critical Thinking Questions.

In a two- to five-page paper, address the following questions using specific examples from your professional experience and cite the primary text when possible: a. Describe what you consider to be the advantages and disadvantages of a computer search of ERIC and other databases, as compared to other search methods? b. Based on what you discovered in the CIJE (Current Index to Journals in Education) article abstracts, why is it often necessary to locate and read the original articles or papers rather than rely on the information in the abstracts? c. Why are secondary sources a good place to begin looking for information on a topic? What are the most valuable traits of secondary sources? What do you consider to be the major limitations of secondary sources? d. Which library holdings are usually considered to be primary sources of information? e.
