Phase III: Making Connections
The phase of the assignment is to write a 6-8 page paper situating the two studies you reviewed in your own experience and exploring connections to the work you are conducting in your RING. Please discuss your own perspective about the relevance of the research you reviewed. Possible areas for discussion may include:
- which inquiry tradition is more aligned with your own beliefs about knowledge and how people come to know?
- how do your own experiences shape your critique of the articles and how you might apply any results?
- how might you step out of your preferred way of knowing and consider the question from alternative viewpoints?
- how does your learning from this assignment inform the work you are doing in the RINGS?
- What are possible practical applications of these articles?
Phase IV: Integrating Ideas
The final version of the praxis assignment integrates the draft developed in Phase 3 (total 7-10 pages), with a brief paragraph describing what changed as a result of the peer review process.
