The instruction for this assignment follows: Theoretical Section: This section should contain 4 theoretical articles or books centered on two well established theories that may guide your dissertation research. Examples of “well established theories” include the following: Maslow’s (1954) Hierarchy of Needs, Vygotsky’s (1969) Social Constructivism, Knowles’ (1980) Adult Learning Theory, etc. Please be aware that books do not need to be included in the binder, only a review form on the book. All pieces should have completed “Theory” review forms that are clear, concise and approximately one page in length. For example, Dr. Szapkiw’s dissertation topic was the effectiveness of the use synchronous and asynchronous technologies for online learning; thus, she might have chosen the following research article on a theoretical framework for distance education: Garrison, D. R., Anderson, T., & Archer, W. (2001). Critical thinking, cognitive presence, and computer conferencing in distance education. American Journal of Distance Education, 15(1), 1-24. She might have also included a book from one of the primary theorist on constructivism since this theory of learning is often associated with effective online learning: Vygotsky, L. S. (1978). Mind in society. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.
