Question 2: Practical ApplicationYour dissertation research must contribute to theory. Your research and the theory to which it contributes may or may not have a practical benefit or application. There is no doubt, however, that there is a theory in your dissertation topic area that does have a practical application.Part 1Referencing, at least, five peer-reviewed journal articles or scholarly books, discuss views on the relationship between theory and application or practice. How can a theory guide or inform practice? What are the issues involved in translating theory into practice? Be sure to keep in mind the various conceptions of theory you discussed in Question 1.Part 2Referencing, at least, five peer-reviewed journal articles, fully describe a theory of current interest in your topic area. A theory is currently of interest if there are articles published on it in the past five years. This theory may or may not be the same as the one you examined in Question 1, Part 3. Describe a current view of the theory, not the founder’s view or a classic view. Your answer should be no more than three pages long.Part 3Identify at least five scholarly articles (published in the last 5 years) that address how the theory you discussed in Part 2 has actually been applied. (Draw on your response to Part 1 in order to define what you mean by an application of theory to an actual problem or situation.) Critically evaluate the appropriateness of the uses to which the theory has been applied. Consider, for example: Are the applications premised upon an accurate understanding of the theory and its scope? Do the applications “go beyond” what the theory claims? Is the reasoning linking application and theory sound?The structure of your paper should be as follows:Title pageBody (12-14 pages, no more or less; APA Style; use appropriate headings for organization of the paper)References (APA Style)References Requirements:Part 1 at least five peer-reviewed journal articles or scholarly books.Part 2 at least five peer-reviewed journal articles.Part 3 Identify, at least, five scholarly articles (published in the last 5 years).For a total of 15Note that all articles should be from within the last past five years failing to use the requested resources might result in the rejection of the order.
