Theoretical Framework Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Identify a Theoretical Framework which the student would like to explore as having significance to their future practice as a DNP. This can be a theory the student identified earlier as potentially having significance for their phenomenon of interest. The theoretical framework could be one the student identifies upon exploring identified DNP projects which spark interest. The theory could also be one in which the student simply wants to explore for future use. List the theory/theoretical framework as the "heading" for each annotation.
Complete a Literature Review. Once the theory has been identified, the student will conduct a literature review looking for scholarly articles in peer reviewed, academic journals in which the theory was applied or explored. The chosen article could be one in which the theoretical framework was used to support a claim or thesis where evidence was presented, introduced in a DNP project, or one in which a theory was used in a research report or evidenced based practice.

Choose Three (3) Scholarly Articles to Review for the Annotated Bibliography Development. From the literature review, three scholarly articles should be chosen for the development of an Annotated Bibliography. The articles should either be written about the theoretical framework or the article should demonstrate application of the theory in research or evidence based practice. For each of the three chosen articles the student will use the "Source Evaluation Matrix," to evaluate each article. Read each article then rate each article in the seven categories of the evaluation matrix: Authorship, Publisher, Currency, References, Writing, Bias, & Relevance. Rating is stronger on left and weaker on the right. The student will focus on where the article is strongest and weakest and include this in the annotation assessment. PLEASE NOTE: You are required to submit the completed Source Evaluation Matrix for each article in the submission link as an attachment.
From each of the three chosen articles, the student will develop an Annotated Bibliography (3 total) including:
Name of the theory/theoretical framework being explored ____/5 points.
The article citation in APA format ____/15 points.
Annotation (150-225 words (max) including the Summary, the Assessment and the Reflection).
Summary: Include what is the most important results or findings of the study, future directions, any limitations. The summary should allow the reader a brief understanding of what the article was about and its importance for their future research needs (75-100 words) ___/25 points.
Assessment: Include your evaluation based on the "Source Evaluation Matrix." Focus on where the article is strongest and weakest (50-75 words) ____/25 points.
Reflection: Include your thoughts on the value of this article. Did you find the article useful or not related to your theory and the application to practice. Why or why not? How valuable would this article be for someone else with a similar topic or project? (25-50 words) ___/20 points.
