O knihe

A growing number of both established and newly developed doctoral programs are
focusing on the preparation of practitioners rather than career researchers.
Professional doctorates such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of
Education (EdD), Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), Doctor of Professional Studies
(DProf or DPS), and the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) are, in fact, just a few of the
professional doctorates being offered today. Professional doctorates are the fastest
growing segment of doctoral education.
The nature of the dissertation and the process of completing a dissertation can be quite different in a professional
practice doctoral program but there are few resources for both students and faculty involved in completing and
mentoring such dissertations. This book was written specifically for students and faculty involved in professional
practice dissertation work. It addresses both the tasks and procedures that professional practice dissertations have
in common with dissertations in "research" doctoral programs as well as the tasks and issues that are more
common in professional practice doctoral programs. For example, negotiating entry into applied settings and
securing the cooperation of practicing professionals is covered, as are alternative models for the dissertation
(e.g., the "three article dissertation" or "TAD"). The book also covers tasks such as getting IRB approval for
applied dissertation research conducted in the field and how to propose and
carry out studies based on applied and professional models of research. This
book, written by three experienced mentors of professional practice
dissertation students, is the comprehensive guide for both students and
faculty.
