LC-7320: Critical Review of Research B

The Critical Review of Research - Final (CRR-B) follows the completion and approval of the CRR-A. The purpose of this part of the learning achievement is to ‘tell the story’ of the resources which were analyzed in the CRR-A through the presentation of a narrative review of those sources. This narrative review may be organized around: themes apparent among the sources cited, specific methodological approaches used, a historical account of how the field has developed, or another appropriate way of making sense of the resources reviewed and the field they represent. This narrative account may also consider the articles reviewed through the lens of a larger theoretical idea (for instance, feminist theory, critical race theory, or discourse analysis). The CRR-B should comment on surprises encountered while undertaking the review, omissions apparent in the field, or inherent biases which color the way the topic has been studied to date. It should also include a discussion of the implications of what has been found for further research The conclusion should include the student’s reflections on how the project has helped them to refine or understand their topic area and how it will affect their potential dissertation focus and methodological approach. In completing this Learning Achievement, students should demonstrate competency in: 1. Exploring a field of study that is relevant to leadership and change literature and identifying relevant resources which inform a specific review question of particular interest to their research. 2. Presenting a comprehensive scholarly search of a range of literature and carefully documenting the search process. 3. Understanding research design as it applies to a chosen area of interest and categorizing research in a table of each article reviewed [e.g., author, title, year, journal, research question(s), method, primary finding(s)] critique. 4. Presenting the project with the quality of writing appropriate for doctoral level work and a review of literature.
