Discussion 2 – Organizing an Introduction
Wk 4 Discussion 2 – Organizing an Introduction
Please refer to this week’s learning materials. They are intended to help you engage effectively in this discussion.
A social science journal article’s introduction “is like a blueprint and a map: it lays out the itinerary of an article’s path of logical travel…and are organized and structured into predictable patterns” (Shon, 2015, p, 41).
Locate 1 research study on your topic in your field of study published in a peer-reviewed journal article from the University Library and read the introduction.
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
How do the authors organize the introduction? Do the subheadings and article’s discussion follow the “blueprint and map” outlined in the introduction?
As you reflect on what you have learned about writing an introduction, what might you do differently in writing introductions as you progress through the dissertation process?
Review others’ posts and substantively respond to at least 1 of your course colleagues in 150 words. What are some similarities and differences from what your colleagues stated about introductions? Did you draw any new conclusions about the importance of how to organize an introduction? Use peer-reviewed literature in the University Library and the Learning Activities folder to substantiate your discussions.
