Part 2) Using the literature- Annotated bibliography

Using the literature searches you conducted in Part 1) you must:

1. Select three pieces of peer-reviewed literature (that you found using your searches).

2. Write a short, annotated bibliography for each source using the University Annotated Bibliography Info Sheet published by the Academic Learning Centre (which is located in the eReading List).

3. Write a short overview of the actual or potential implications of the three pieces of peer-reviewed literature on the four (4) phases of emergency and disaster management (that is, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery). Your short overview will be up to 250 words.

**Three pieces of peer-reviewed literature-

Assessment 2:

Title: Research in action

Task Description In assessment task two, you will explore a series of concepts related to research and their application. This task consists of multiple parts, and your response to this assessment task is based on your engagement with the unit content and broader academic literature.

Part 1) Ethics activity Carefully consider the following scenario and then complete the table located in the Assessment Task Two Template. Important note: you will not be completing the project or collecting the data mentioned in the below scenario, you are simply completing the Assessment Task Two Template (located in the Assessment Tile in Moodle).

Ethics Scenario The project team (from assessment task one) have completed the project report, and you have been given funding to complete a small pilot research project. The pilot project aims to gather insights into volunteer recruitment and retention and use those insights to make recommendations for enhancing practice in volunteer recruitment and retention in emergency and disaster management contexts. Two volunteer groups involved in emergency and disaster management in the local area have agreed to participate in the research project. Importantly, you are a member of one of those two groups (you are a member of the local Rural Fire Brigade) and as part of your project role, you will be one of the two people collecting the data.

The pilot project will collect data from two groups, including: 1. current volunteers from the local Rural Fire Brigade (of which you are a member), and 2. current volunteers from the local arm of the Red Cross.

The data will be collected using semi-structured interviews. You and one other project team member will conduct the semi-structured interviews.

Ethics Activity Instructions You and your colleague are writing the ethics application form, which must be approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) before you can commence the pilot research project. As part of the ethics application, you must identify what risks might be present for those participating in the semi-structured interviews and how the identified risks will be mitigated or managed. Based on the above scenario, you must provide: 1. An analytic summary, including references of the semi-structured interview (as used in qualitative research). 2. Two ethical considerations that the ethics committee will be concerned about based on the scenario above. 3. Strategies, including references that you would use to mitigate or manage the identified risk. 4. A short analytic summary, including references which addresses the following question: “Would the ethical considerations identified for the above scenario be a factor if the data was collected using a survey that was emailed to Rural Fire Brigade and Red Cross members and was completely anonymously, that is, you and your colleague would not know who in particular completed a survey?” Justify your response.

Remember, you must use the Assessment Task Two Template, which is located in the Assessment Tile in Moodle. Part 1) of assessment task two will be no more than 1500 words in total.

Part 2) Research literature analysis In Part 2), you will select one (1) peer-reviewed journal article from the list of articles provided in the Assessment tile of the Moodle site. The chosen article must come from the list provided (called - Assessment Task Two Article List, which is located under Assessment Task Two on the Moodle site. The articles are also located in the Reading List) and provide responses to the below: 1. What is the research question or question(s) addressed in the chosen article? 2. What is the gap in knowledge that the article addresses? 3. Identify and provide an overview of the research method/s used. 4. Outline one strength and one possible weakness (with references to support) associated with the chosen method/s. 5. Name one ethical issue (with references to support) that would have been relevant in undertaking the research reported in the article. 6. Outline one strategy (with references to support) that could have been used to mitigate the impact of the identified ethical issue. 7. What are the key findings of the research reported in the chosen article? 8. How could the findings from the chosen article be utilized to improve an area of emergency and disaster management practice?

Your Part 2) response will be no more than 1000 words in total.
