c. This will be a synopsis of the main findings of your paper.
d. Consider this an abridged version of your full paper.
3. Introduction
a. Although not labeled with a heading on your paper, this section will introduce your problem and provide your specific research question that will be developed throughout the paper. Use information from the Identify a Problem written assignment.
b. Defend the importance of the topic. Give a broad overview of the scope of the work you are reviewing. Clarify what learning theory you arelooking at and the importance it has in your educational field.
c. It is always best to place the research question at the end of the introduction. This serves as a transition into the rest of the paper, which supports the research question.
4. Headings
To ensure that your paper meets the requirements of the rubric, the following elements must be clearly identified with headings. (Remember that there is no heading for the introduction.
a. Literature Review
When reading through your sources, you want to remember that you are looking for the "big picture," not a collection of random, separate articles. You are looking for common themes and patterns in the research as a whole.
Synthesize the references in order to show that several references support the points you are making about the topic. You are combining what the different experts in the field have published about your topic. Do not write a summary of one reference at the time as you did in the annotated bibliographies. The more you can show that several references support a specific point, the more support you have for it.
b. Learning Theory Association
Identify the learning theory or theories that serve as the foundation for your topic by discussing foundational principles.
Align the topic throughout the section with the learning theory or theories
c. Define Key Terms
Define terms that will be important for your study
d. Gaps in the Research
What areas of your topic are still in need of further research? (Usually, this can be found in the very last section of academic journal articles, labeled "future research.")
e. Biblical Worldview
From a biblical worldview perspective, what are the issues with the learning theory or theories you have discussed?
Identify from the Sire text the worldview most appropriateto the influential founders(s) of the learning theory.
Offer alternative ideas which incorporate a solid biblical worldview perspective. The use of Scripture is appropriate in this section.
f. Conclusion
Your conclusion must relate to the introduction in some way so that your paper displays coherence.
If your introduction included a metaphor, quote, theme, etc., it is appropriate to integrate that again.
5. References
Include at least 10 scholarly references, and make sure at least 6 of those references are scholarly journal articles. Variation of references is important; use at least 1 book, 1 academic journal, and 1 online source.
