PSY 560 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

This assignment will be your first milestone as you begin to work on your final project, the theoretical analysis. In Module One, you selected a theory from the list of approved theories for the theoretical analysis. Milestone One is an outline of the Background and Basics of the Theory section. You do not need to complete a full draft of this section; only an outline will be accepted. Please do not submit a rough draft.

This rubric will help you develop your outline for this assignment. Be sure to refer to the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document to review the full assignment that you will submit in Module Nine and to see how your outline will be fleshed out later in the course. This will help you understand what needs to be included in your outline. Use the information you have been collecting in your annotated bibliography to support you in this milestone.

Prompt

For this assignment, you will write an outline of Milestone One of the final project. The outline will list key points of the historical overview of your selected theory, review key points about the theory’s historical development, identify the key theorist(s) associated with the theory, and discuss how the theory is used today.

  1. Milestone One: Background and Basics of the Theory
    1. Provide a historical overview of your selected theory, including relevant historical events that influenced the theory.
    2. Analyze the historical development of the theory based on when and where it was developed. Consider what the prevailing theories of the time were. How does this theory relate to the earlier theories?
    3. Identify the key theorist (theorists) associated with this theory. Provide the relevant biographical information and historical events that may have influenced the theorist’s work and led to the development of the theory.
    4. Articulate the key concepts of this theory as conceived by the key theorist(s). Support your response with relevant research. Be sure to include primary sources and noteworthy or historically relevant research.
    5. Discuss how the theory is used today, identifying key differences from its initial application. What key concepts in the theory have changed over time, and how has the theory’s role changed?

What to Submit

Your outline must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Use the Milestone One Template. Include a reference page with any sources cited in APA format.

Note that the grading rubric for this milestone submission is not identical to that of the final project. The Final Project Rubric will include an additional “Exemplary” category that provides guidance as to how you can go above and beyond “Proficient” in your final submission. This assignment is about creating an outline of this section, and the final project directions are to flesh out this information. Build on your outline as you start working on your final project.

Milestone One Rubric

Criteria Proficient (100%) Needs Improvement (80%) Not Evident (0%) Value
Background and Basics of Theory: Historical Overview Provides a historical overview that expands upon the historical events that influenced the theory, including additional supporting relevant research Provides a historical overview that influenced the theory but does not reference supporting relevant research, or the historical context contains inaccuracies Does not provide a historical overview of the selected theory 18
Background and Basics of Theory: Historical Development Analyzes the historical development of the theory and supports it with relevant research Analyzes the historical development of the theory, but analysis is not supported by relevant research, is cursory, or contains inaccuracies Does not analyze the historical development of the theory 18
Background and Basics of Theory: Key Theorist(s) Identifies the key theorist(s) associated with the selected theory, including relevant biographical information and historical events that influenced the theorist(s) and development of this theory Identifies the key theorist(s) associated with the selected theory, but the overview is cursory or contains inaccuracies Does not identify the key theorist(s) associated with the selected theory or provide a historical overview 18
Background and Basics of Theory: Key Concepts Outlines the key concepts of theory, including supporting research Outlines a partial list of the key concepts of the theory or does not include supporting research Does not outline the key concepts of theory 18
Background and Basics of Theory: How the Theory Is Used Today Discusses how theory is used today, identifying key differences from its initial application Discusses how theory is used today, identifying differences from its initial application, but response is cursory or contains inaccuracies Does not discuss how theory is used today or identify differences from its initial application 18
Articulation of Response Submission has no major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization Submission has major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that negatively impact readability and articulation of main ideas Submission has critical errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that prevent understanding of ideas 10

[Note: Create an outline for this section of your final paper using an outline format. Outline format should include bulleted information with letter or number labels to indicate organization strategy.

The outline does not need to include full paragraphs.

The outline must include in-text citations for resources you intend to use in that section. Failure to use in-text citations suggests that there is no research-based support for that portion of the paper, which is likely to lead to grade penalties for that section of the rubric.

Please do not change the order of the content that is required for the assignment. However, you may add extra paragraphs for sections that require more information based on the content you wish to convey.]

References

[Notes:

References must be in alphabetical order. The list of references must be on a separate page.

Use the most recent edition of the APA manual to format the references.

If you include the electronic location, give only the shortest, most direct link to the actual article. Include only the direct URL to the article.

Use only primary sources for your references. Ask the library for assistance in locating recent primary sources for your papers.

References must all be primary sources: scholarly, professional, academic, and peer-reviewed journal articles. Other sources are not acceptable for academic research and referencing and are not to be used for this class, such as magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, dictionaries, Wikipedia, other wikis, blogs, non-scholarly websites, or any non-scientific sources that do not provide quality researched materials (any source that does not use credible sources to support the information in the document).

For every reference in your list of references, your paper must also include the corresponding in-text citations. Make sure all citations correspond with the references and vice versa.

All references must be cited.
