pursue a doctoral degree in education.
Education is one of the most important fields in the world because it shapes the minds of students, young and old. Education is responsible for grooming individuals for society, teaching them necessary skills for life. The learning experience is more than just scholastic, as social skills become more and more important to contemporary society.

The education system in the United States deals with young children who have less structure in their home lives than earlier generations. Especially in the inner cities, more and more children are sent to school without a proper grounding in life skills and communication. In a conversation with a school board member from such a place, I learned that some children showed up for their first day of school without even knowing their full names. This is cause for growing concern as schools are now forced to educate children in basic….

According to De Valero (2001), "Given the high costs associated with graduate education, the current national climate of diminishing resources for higher education, and an increased competition for these resources between undergraduate and graduate programs, understanding and examining the factors that affect students' ability to complete their degree requirements in a timely manner and considering the implications of these factors becomes crucial" (p. 341). In this regard, Neumann (2005) reports that, "The reasons for length of time to completion and non-completion rates are important considerations for universities and governments," and notes that: "Concerns about slow time to completion relate to the commitment of staff and other resources for extended periods, the desirability of concentrating graduate studies in a reasonable time period, the possibility that information obtained in the research may become obsolete before completion of the thesis, and delays in researchers moving on to other projects" (Neumann, 2005,….

pursuit of my doctoral studies. The course really mapped out a lot of the things that it will take for me to achieve my goals. The first thing is just to understand the process of getting a dissertation. This is not as simple as sitting down and anging out a long-form essay. This is a completely different process and this course has een instrumental in me getting a much clearer understanding of what this process is going to look like for me.
The literature review is something I had to really take to heart. I learned a lot aout what it takes to e a scholar. It starts with the literature review. If you had asked me at the start of this course, I would have told you that the literature review was the foundation of the dissertation, ut it's actually the foundation of scholarship. The lit review is how….

Introduction Capture interest:
The importance of doctoral identity cannot be overemphasized. By the end of doctoral education, students must have skills, knowledge, habits, and values that are consistent with their professional role.
Context:
Doctoral identity, also referred to a professional identity, denotes “the relatively stable and enduring constellation of attributes, beliefs, values, motives, and experiences in terms of which people define themselves in a professional role” (Smith & Hatmaker, 2015, p. 547). This identity indicates to others that an individual possesses a unique set of skills and abilities. The development of professional identity is facilitated by a number of factors, including individual, interpersonal, and institutional factors (Gardner, 2009; Baker & Pifer, 2011). Gardner (2009), Baker & Pifer (2011), and Smith & Hatmaker (2015) provide valuable information on doctoral identity formation.

IV. Illustration of the Impacts of Advising on Retention Issues

Retention issues may very well become a conflict of interest in that staff might desire to retain students as their proficiency develops however: "...that is an unfortunate conflict between your desire to maximize productivity in ones' own research and in the duty as a mentor to provide support for the student's timely progress. The primary obligation is the education of the students. (the Mentor as Faculty Advisor, nd paraphrased)

Summary & Conclusion

The adviser provides an invaluable type of assistance to the master's and doctoral student in the process of earning their college degree. This type of assistance optimizes the positive learning experience of students. Students will need assistance in choosing their coursed, the specific discipline chosen, the degree or combination of degrees, the student decides to obtain and finally students need assistance and guidance in the….

Annotation
This article sought to demonstrate the relevance of lifespan models to industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology. The article specifically shows how the selective optimization with compensation (SOC) model can be applied in three I/O psychology areas: organizational-level functioning, leadership, and work-family conflict. The SOC model provides a framework for understanding “an individual’s successful development process across the entire life span” (Baltes & Dickson, 2001, p. 52). Successful development is shaped by the individual’s stage of life as well as personal and cultural factors. This model is based on the assumption that an individual’s physical, mental, and environmental resources are limited at any given point in time. Accordingly, the individual must effectively allocate the limited resources through “selection, optimization, and compensation techniques.” According to Baltes & Dickson (2001), I/O psychologists….

drivers endure a multitude of work-related health issues due to the nature of their work. They drive consistently long hours. They must be weary of potential accidents, and do not receive high pay. This can lead to a higher than normal employee turnover rates, which lends to a lower quality of service for customers. esearchers have aimed at identifying what specific work-related health problems plague bus drivers.
esearch shows bus drivers often suffer from high blood pressure and musculoskeletal pain in the form of neck and low back pain. This may be due to constant vibration while driving and an ineffective seat and bus driver cabin. Another potential cause for these illnesses is the constant stress of the job. Bus Drivers cite the risk for potentially aggressive passengers and bad weather conditions as major stressors.

This dissertation is meant to show through interviews with bus drivers and managers and a literature….

Worldview Statement
A cornerstone concept of pop psychology, the left brain/right brain divide is "largely bogus," (Lombrozo, 2013). However, the metaphor of left brain/right brain does somewhat accurately allow us to classify people into those whose worldviews are governed by logic and reason versus those whose worldviews allow for a greater degree of impulse and emotionality. My personal worldview is thankfully somewhere between these two extremes. Too much left brain emphasis leads to rigidity and an inability to welcome new ideas, whereas too much right brain focus may lead to superstition and poor decisions.

The left brain/right brain metaphor demonstrates the need for fusing qualitative and quantitative research methods. Social scientists who discount the relevance or validity of qualitative methods can be considered left brained in their worldview. As important as quantitative analyses are, social science research does not always lend itself to quantification. Human beings are not robots. Human behavior cannot….

Analysis Role of Theory in Context of Qualitative Doctoral Business Research
Introduction
Models and theories produce the basis upon which empirical inquiries are built. Empirical research is not only concerned with data variations (with respect to what is going on in the globe) but also with testing whether such data is in conformity with the theory or model (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007). It is also our intention to progress existing theories or even come up with new ones on the basis of existing ones and on the basis of freshly acquired empirical evidence. Generally two strategies for carrying out quantitative research exist. The first strategy involves formulation of hypotheses by researchers based on previous research information and testing those hypotheses against available empirical data through a process called confirmatory research. Confirmatory research is used to either reject or….

Terrorism
Intelligence, counterterrorism and protection, and subjects for investigation appear to be relevant, interesting and worthy of detailed examination. The research traditions allowed in mainstream educational systems provide different avenues of approach to examine these ideas. The purpose of this paper is to examine the ideas of terrorism through the lenses of the five research conditions: narrative, grounded theory, phenomenology, case study and ethnography. Additionally, I will propose three different topics for doctoral research and determine why each of these approaches warrant inquiry.

Before examining terrorism, it is a most important challenge to define the term. The defining of this word is perhaps the greatest source of confusion included in this type of research inquiry. How is terrorism related to intelligence and protection? While these are fashionable catchwords of the day, it seems important to link the phrases and terms with concrete and realistic symbols that can be understood by the general….
