write mini research paper
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Prompt:
Mini Research Report: Formulate some significant questions or issues related to the mission of
your project, program, or organization that most captures your intellectual interest. Identify one
main question and read at least two scholarly articles to help you understand that issue or answer
the question. In your paper, begin by raising the question or issue and why it interests you. Describe
your own work project experience and how it might help you answer or respond to that question.
What key terms has your experience allowed you to redefine or think in more complex ways about?
What are you starting to realize about the question or issue with which you began? Use the two
scholarly articles to extend your thinking about this question or issue. You will need to represent their
arguments as well as analyze them, pointing out what each argument clarifies from your own
experience and for the theoretical understanding of these issues that you are beginning to develop.
These scholarly articles need not “prove” the truth of your own thinking. They are there to help you
think through the complexities of the question and to add depth to your key terms. You will need to
cite these articles in a bibliography at the end of the paper. Conclude with a description of what you
know remains unresolved for you in your thinking. What has yet to be realized? How might you
extend, direct, or apply what you have learned (e.g. through further research, coursework, a pilot
capstone project or other study.)
Note to help writing:
My own work project experience is with the NYU Abu Dhabi Teaching Learning and Development Lab. You can formulate questions related to child socio-emotional development in psychology in different cultures. I am studying children and mothers with Arab backgrounds so the approach may need to be different .
