PUA5302 Unit VII Research Paper

Unit VII Research Paper

This research paper will be submitted in this unit and will be the basis for the final assignment in Unit VIII. Critical analysis is a central process in all academic work. It involves thinking critically, which is applying rational and logical thinking, while deconstructing the information that you research/study. When we think critically, we are thinking actively. This means that we do not passively accept everything we read and hear, so that we can question, evaluate, make judgments, find connections, and categorize information. It means we remain open to other points of view and are not blinded by our own biases.

1. Begin by selecting a topic to research. The research paper requires a public administration topic selection that focuses on an ethical scenario that confronts you in public administration.

2. What is the problem that you want to investigate? State the problem as a question.

3. Why does this problem interest you?

4. What does the literature say? Find three to five research-based articles about the topic as a literature review.

5. What did you learn about this topic in relation to addressing the problem that you researched? What new knowledge, recommendations, or proposed solutions have you uncovered?

6. Develop your conclusions. As you have completed the work in this course, you have noticed themes in the unit lessons, the assigned readings, and the assignments. Now, you will combine that knowledge with your personal examples and previous experiences to construct your research paper.

Your research paper should include the following structure:
