Question 2: Practical Application

For question 2, you are required to discuss the application of relevant theory and research to real life situations, considering social, cultural, and ethical issues as appropriate. You are expected to compose responses solving specific problems and discuss implications of your ideas for application with a broad range of issues in the field. My field of specialization is Sports Management (Women Leadership in Sports….My dissertation concept will be The impact or influence of females coaching male teams) Referencing at least five peer-reviewed journal articles, respond to the following questions: How can a theory guide or inform practice? What are the issues involved in translating theory into practice? Identify at least an additional five peer-reviewed articles (published in the last 5 years) and address how one of the theories you discussed in question 1 has actually been applied. Consider, for example: Are the applications premised upon an accurate understanding of the theory and its scope? Do the applications "go beyond" what the theory claims? Is the reasoning linking application and theory sound? Learning Outcomes: 2. Critique existing research and design a methodologically sound approach to research in the academic specialization(s).
