Integrating SOBTH Doctoral Networking Resources with the Doctoral Capstone Guidebook

The SOBTH Doctoral Networking Resources have been integrated into the Doctoral Capstone Guidebook, which is now more enriched by content and advice from professional networks, faculty, and peers, to enhance the quality and relevance of the capstone project.

Chosen Video or Webinar

1. Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks Webinar Recording

I’ve selected a theoretical and conceptual framework webinar. This webinar has been selected to provide a better understanding of the different types of frameworks that can be utilized in research and capstone projects. It speaks about theoretical, conceptual, and applied frameworks (Capella University, 2024). This resource is designed to increase the understanding of what the purpose of a frame is, and how it is used in Research and in Academic and Professional Practice.

2. DHA Learner Huddles: Gaps in Practice Webinar Recording

I’ve selected areas where there are no practice videos. It was chosen for this video to complement the current knowledge of the elements of a Capstone project – purpose statements, questions about the project, and gaps in practice (Capella University, n.d.). It offers instruction on the effective way to communicate these in an accurate and succinct way. The video aims to help students come up with better and sound research proposals.

Main Points or Key Concepts

1. Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks Webinar Recording

The webinar contains a number of key concepts and main points. Theoretical, conceptual, and applied frameworks have a bit of a difference in their areas of application. Webinar offers information about different uses of several frameworks for various disciplines such as dissertations and capstone work (Capella University, 2024). It offers guidance on choosing and/or adapting rules that meet the needs of a specific project. The webinar includes a question-and-answer section where the moderator will answer questions from the viewers and present extra content.

2. DHA Learner Huddles: Gaps in Practice Webinar Recording

The presenters emphasize creating succinct and apt purpose statements and posing questions for Capstone projects in the video. The project question should be related to the problem, purpose, and identified gap in practice (Capella University, n.d.). The video also highlights the importance of choosing a specialism where there is a gap that the practitioner or publications have to fill. The problem statement, purpose statement, project question, and the gap in practice are the four key elements to the coherence of a research project.

Elements of Doctoral Capstone Guidebook

1. Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks Webinar Recording

The matching of the key topics in the webinar to the sections of the guidebook suggests that the topic was identified and how related it was to each of the sections of the guidebook (ORS Office of Research and Scholarship, 2023). The webinar addresses the fundamentals of research, such as what questions should be asked, how to approach the research process, and the researcher themselves. These topics correspond with the parts of the guidebook, according to which questions that are supposed to be answered in a project, the justification of the selected methods, and the author’s role and existing biases are mentioned.

2. DHA Learner Huddles: Gaps in Practice Webinar Recording

The ideas presented in the video relate to a few chapters of the Doctoral Capstone Guidebook. The WritingLab (Office of Research and Scholarship) identified the following elements of the sections to be of immediate interest for the writing process: Problem Statement, Purpose Statement, Project Questions, Gap in Practice (ORS Office of Research and Scholarship, 2023). With the assistance of these sections, the students get the chance to identify problems—general and specific—that their project aims to solve, formulate purpose statements that outline the objectives of the project, and formulate clear project questions.

Reflection on Connections Between Resource and Doctoral Capstone Guidebook

1. Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks Webinar Recording

The material presented in the webinar and the guidelines discussed in the Doctoral Capstone Guidebook are very similar. This aligns with the guidebook’s suggestions to identify a specific and clearly worded project question that is compatible with the purpose statement and the chosen method. In the guidebook and webinar, the method choice and his/her reasons for choosing it are highlighted.

2. DHA Learner Huddles: Gaps in Practice Webinar Recording

The video’s ideas meet the requirements and recommendations in the Doctoral Capstone Guidebook, as illustrated below. They share the same characteristics in that they both involve the problem statement, purpose statement, project questions, and identified gap in practice. These elements are highlighted in the video to indicate that they should be well co-ordinated and consistent – which is also the main theme of the guidebook.
