Based on the results of your analyses, how would you answer the question: “What is the meaning of social change for Walden graduate students?”

Self-Reflection—Has your own understanding of you as a positive social change agent changed? Explain your reasoning.

Based on your review of the three articles on social change, which one is aligned with your interests regarding social change and why?

The Week 10 Assignment is focused on social change.  Here are a few things to note:

  1. This week’s course materials explicitly provide the RQ that all students should use for the Week 10 Assignment:  What does social change mean to Walden graduate students?
  2. Think about how you would write a purpose statement that aligns with this RQ, based on what we learned earlier in the course and my previous examples in the Announcements.
  3. We will interview 1 peer who is a Walden student or Walden graduate for this Week 10 Assignment.                                                                                             (I will use the name Clyde Singleton he is a Walden Student )
  4. We will transcribe and code this interview.
  5. Use the Yob and Brewer questions from the article, found in the Appendices of the article.

Preparing:  To prepare to write this paper, do the following:

  1. Completely disregard everything from the Week 4/8 papers—none of that belongs here.
  2. Complete, transcribe, and code your peer interview where you used the Yob and Brewer questions.
  3. Go back and retrieve your discussions where you coded:
  1. Two scholar of change videos
  2. Material from the Walden social change website.
  1. Obtain the RQ provided to you in Week 7: What does social change mean to Walden graduate students?
  1. THIS IS THE RQ THAT YOU NEED TO USE
  1. Write a purpose statement.
  1. By now, you should all be able to take this RQ and write a purpose that aligns:
    1. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore…
  1. Write a short problem statement
  1. We know that the RQ and purpose is focused on what social change means to Walden students, so write a problem statement about the need for social change, broadly speaking, and the need to address social change in education

Writing: To write this paper, do the following:

  1. Write a paper that includes the following elements.  Use this outline/headings. See the rubric as well

RQ

graduate students? 

Role of the Researcher

Describe your role in data collection and as a researcher. Be sure to mention that you, as a qualitative researcher, are the data collection instrument, among the other instruments involved in the study.  Be sure to address bias.

Data Sources

Data sources should be described as: scholar of change videos, Walden social change website, and peer interview

Instrumentation

Remember, you are the data collection instrument.  The Yob and Brewer questions are also an instrument

Data Analysis

HINT:  You have multiple sources of data here, but think about coding for the purpose and RQ only.  It is not necessary to code for EVERYTHING.  Code for ideas related to your RQ.  Also, consider all of the data, from different sources, together as THE data for your research.  Code them together, big-picture, instead of coding one source of data independent from the others.  Describe how you coded.

 

Results

Describe your results/ themes.  Remember, themes need to be full statements/ideas.  HINT: 

Your themes need to answer the RQ.

Trustworthiness:  (a) credibility, (b) transferability, (c) dependability, and (d) confirmability.

HINT: Discuss each of these and provide sources as well as indicated how you addressed them in your study.

Summary

          Summarize the results and meaning of social change for Walden students
