Abstract

Describe the research problem and why it is important. Identify the purpose of the study.

State the theoretical foundations or conceptual frameworks, as appropriate. Summarize the key research question(s), and state them in declarative sentences rather than as questions. Describe, concisely, the overall research design, methods, and data analysis procedures (include sample size and selection criteria). Identify the key results, conclusions, and recommendations that capture the heart of the study (for the final study only). Conclude with a statement on the implications for positive social change, who would benefit from the research, and in what specific ways those individuals or groups would benefit. Do not exceed one page. The abstract should be one double-spaced paragraph with no indentation and no references or citations. For more guidance on writing this paragraph, consult the abstract assistance materials on the Center for Research Quality website.

Dedication

This is an optional page for a dedication. If you include a dedication, use regular paragraph spacing as shown here (not centered, italicized, or otherwise formatted). If you do not wish to include this page, delete the heading and the body text. The dedication page is generally limited to one page or less.

Acknowledgments

This is an optional page for acknowledgments. It is a nice place to thank the faculty, family members, and friends who have helped you reach this point in your academic career.

If you do not wish to include this page, delete the heading and the body text, but leave the section break that you see below this text.

No page number appears on any of the pages up to this point.

Table of Contents

Use this table of contents (TOC) as an example of what one looks like. This TOC has all the headings that are currently in the template. When it comes time for creating your own TOC, RIGHT CLICK anywhere in the Table of Contents, select UPDATE FIELD, then select UPDATE ENTIRE TABLE or UPDATE PAGE NUMBERS ONLY, and click OK.

The table of contents will be generated using the style tags from the template; you will also be able to automatically update the TOC, both added headings and page numbers.

List of Tables

When you update the list of tables by right-clicking on it, the table number and title will come in without a period between them; you will need to manually add that period after all table numbers, as shown for Table 1. In addition, the title will retain the italics from the narrative when the List of Tables is updated. Once your list is finalized, select the entire list and change it to plain type. See Instructions for the EdD Doctoral Capstone Templates document for more sample tables.

List of Figures

The List of Figures is not set up to automatically update. If you have figures in your document, type them in manually here, following the example above. Hit the tab key to insert the dot leader, then type the page number.

Alternately, see Instructions for the EdD Doctoral Capstone Templates document for instructions on how to update the List of Figures.

Appendix A: Title of Appendix

Insert appendix content here. Appendices are labeled with letters rather than numbers. If there is but one appendix, label it Appendix, followed by the title, with no letter designation. Reference each appendix in the narrative chapters in the order it appears at the end of the document.

The appendices must adhere to the same margin specifications as the body of the dissertation. Photocopied or previously printed material may have to be shifted on the page or reduced in size to fit within the area bounded by the margins.

If the only thing in an appendix is a table, the table title serves as the title of the appendix; no label is needed for the table itself. If you have text in addition to a table or tables in an appendix, label the table with the letter of the appendix (e.g., Table A1, Table A2, Table B1, and so on). These tables would be listed in the List of Tables at the end of the Table of Contents.

If you include in an appendix any prepublished materials that are not in the public domain, you must also include permission to do so.

Appendix B: Title of Appendix

Insert appendix content here.
