systematic review methodology,

Task List:

“Systematic Review” Project

Step 1: Review and Refine the Research Question

Review your resources on the following topics:

• 1) systematic review methodology, then
• 2) article synthesis in systematic review, then
• 3) thematic synthesis

Step 2: Assess the Quality of the Evidence

• Quality Assessment board to post your own quality assessment of your REA evidence and then be a second reviewer of the quality of the articles selected (the other student stated that he is generally agree with my approach of TAPUPAS, and he thought that I did a transparent and replicable search, data extraction of the chosen articles)
• The client (the ABC University) will want evidence of the reliability and validity of your findings. Transparency and rigor are the hallmarks of any systematic review.

Step 3: Code Your Data (I will do the coding myself later, please do the write up for me)

Review the evidence compiled by your team as well as your notes on coding for:

• Qualitative research
• first cycle coding , and
• second cycle coding

Your notes on within-case and cross-case analysis and analytic memoing is important as well.

• review your doctoral resources on describing and analyzing studies for a systematic review
• Provide an integrated analysis of the individual REAs with respect to the current research

question, aggregate: weigh and synthesize the evidence and a writeup of the findings.

Step 4: Conceptual framework (see page 31 in the document named as “Project 2”)

• create a conceptual framework that clearly integrates the concepts and relationships

discovered during the organizational analysis and preparation of the consultant proposal from

the findings from the individual REAs from Project 2.  (Doc 2: Project 2”)

Step 5: Develop Practice Recommendations

Based on your conceptual framework and the other work you’ve completed thus far,

generate a set of at least three practical recommendations that includes the following:

• identification of the risks in implementation
• practical considerations regarding gaining acceptance for the recommendations

It will be helpful to review your readings on closing the research-practice gap, particularly refers to “Evidence-Based Management: The Possibilities of Interpretation.” (Follow the guidelines of Evidence-Based Management in consulting work to develop recommendations)

• I have attached the 6 out of the articles which I find them useful (higher marks in the TAPUPAS) for my REA. Please use those as reference and for this part of recommendation.

Marking Scheme

• Apply knowledge gained from a systematic review of relevant evidence to the practitioner decision-making process.
• Address the epistemological concerns of relevant organizational stakeholders, with respect to evidence synthesis.
• Make and implement data-driven decisions.
• Foster an evidence-based mindset in an organization.
• Develop a conceptual model within a particular domain.
• Identify the theory (-ies) to be modeled.
• Name the components of the theory (-ies).
• Represent correctly the concepts as elements of a graphic model.
• Represent correctly the relationships as elements of a graphic model.
• Demonstrate the concepts and relationships of the graphic model in a narrative form.
• Develop solutions to the management practice problem consistent with the range of
• potential courses of action suggested by a theory.
• Identify possible solutions to the problem consistent with a chosen theory.
• Evaluate the solutions based on their application to the problem and the range of
• appropriate actions that could be taken consistent with the theory.
• Evaluate the solutions based on possible intended and unintended consequences.
• Recommend the solution or solutions that will be most effective and have the fewest potential drawbacks.
• Justify the solution or solutions you selected based on research and/or evidence.
