Assignments
Elevator Speech (topic, question, rationale)
Background of Your Study: 4-6, double-spaced, summary of research design (from pilot study/ORLD 6500)
Conceptual Framework: graphic representation; drawn from prior studies; conceptual literature and/or practice/experience
Data Analysis Assignment: based on learning contract – demonstration of data analysis capabilities, coding scheme, findings, interpretation, synthesis and preliminary recommendations

– Topic: I was trying to learn about the journey of becoming a diversity practitioner (i.e., an external diversity expert/consultants or the lead internal diversity person in Fortune 500 Corporations)...
– Question: Because I wanted to … capture the key experiences that represented the competency development process (i.e., how they learned what they know, can do and disposition needed to operate effectively in the role) in an emerging field of practice with few established canons…
– Significance: In order to help… senior executives charged with hiring diversity practitioners, as well as individuals in the business of preparing future diversity practitioners, benefit from the experiences of this select group of pioneers who were shaping the state of the practice at the time of the study (1999 to 2001).

Start with Prior Studies
Use core research question(s) to guide search
Devise “key word” search strategy and track results
Focus on “peer review” articles first, then move to “dissertations,” and conference proceedings, etc.
Record problem/purpose statements, research questions/hypothesis/method, areas of areas of literatureliterature review; findings, and implications for further/future research [review references for patterns]
Result: summary of “what is known” about your topic, and grounded areas of needed exploration

Anatomy of a Concept
Exploring Literature for Insight & Understanding…
Meaning: definitions, principles and assumptions (key thinkers); “literal” – What does the dictionary say? What do selected theorists say? Implications for your study?
Origins: evolution of the concept; theoretical foundations; contextual awareness of current usage.
Elements: major/key “components” of the concept; related concepts.
Relationships: connections between components; how they come together to enact the concept.
Analysis: similarities and differences amongst key thinkers-based on all data collected above; critiques and gap; implications for your study.
Using Software…Using Software…Dealing with Volumes of Data

The case for “data displays”
Knowledge Retention Research Reveals…
People retain 90% of what they say and do
People retain 80% of what they see, hear & read
People retain 50% of what they see and hear
People retain 20% of what they hear
People retain 10% of what they read
