Leadership styles of principals – transactional theory
This is a section I need for my literature review. The focus is on principals and how the transactional theory was used prior to the pandemic. Sources should be withing 3 years and only national research articles. Please utilize forms of research that shows a study and all that it entails (participants, location, purpose, results, and findings/conclusion. Below is the rubric for the entire literature review.
Review of the Literature
(Approximately 30 pages)
The learner assures that this section of Chapter 2 should be approximately 30 pages. (Thirty pages reflects a typical literature review length and is a recommendation, not a rule). The purpose of the minimum number of pages is to ensure that the overall literature review reflects a foundational understanding of the theory or theories, literature and research studies related to the topic. A well-written comprehensive literature review that reflects the current state of research and literature on the topic is expected and will likely exceed 30 pages. Literature reviews are updated continuously. This is an ongoing process to dissertation completion.
The learner describes the phenomena being explored in the study discussing the prior research that has been done on the phenomena.
Themes or Topics: The learner discusses and synthesizes studies related to the dissertation topic. May include (1) studies focused on the problem from a societal perspective, (2) studies describing and/or relating the exploring related phenomena (qualitative), (3) studies on related research such as factors associated with the themes, (4) studies on the methodological approach and instruments used to collect data, (5) studies on the broad population for the study, and/or (6) studies similar to the study. The themes presented, and research studies discussed and synthesized in the Review of the Literature demonstrates understanding of all aspects of the research topic, the research methodology, and sources of data.
The learner structures the literature review in a logical order, including actual data and accurate synthesis of results from reviewed studies as related to the learner’s own topic. The learner provides synthesis of the information, not just a summary of the findings or annotation of articles.
The learner includes in each major section (theme or topic) within the Review of the Literature an introductory paragraph that explains why the topic or theme was explored relative to the overall dissertation topic.
The learner includes in each section within the Review of the Literature a summary paragraph(s) that (1) compares and contrasts alternative perspectives on the topic and (2) provides a synthesis of the themes relative to the research topic discussed that emerged from the literature, and (3) identifies how themes are relevant to the dissertation topic and research methodology.
The learner provides additional arguments for the need for the study that was defined in the Background of the Study section.
The learner ensures that for every in-text citation a reference entry exists. Conversely, for every reference list entry there is a corresponding in-text citation. Note: The accuracy of citations and quality of sources is verified by learner, chair, and content expert.
The learner uses a range of references including founding theorists, peer-reviewed empirical research studies from scholarly journals, and governmental/foundation research reports.
The learner verifies that all references are scholarly sources. NOTE: Websites, dictionaries, publications without dates (n.d.), are not considered scholarly sources and are not cited or present in the reference list.
The learner avoids [GCU1] overuse of books and dissertations.
Books: Recommendation: No more than 10 scholarly books that present cutting edge views on a topic, are research based, or are seminal works.
Dissertations: Recommendation: No more than five published dissertations should be cited as sources in the manuscript. (This is a recommendation, not a rule).
The learner writes this section in a way that is well structured, has a logical flow, uses correct paragraph structure, sentence structure, punctuation, and APA format.
[GCU1]When citing books and dissertations this implies that you have read the entire book or dissertation. Be mindful of this as you select sources. Dissertations are not considered peer-reviewed research, so limit the number of referenced dissertations to 3-5 total.
