Historical Alignment Tool (HAT) — MS Word Table Version
Introduction: The importance of alignment between dissertation research components as you create a dissertation prospectus is critical to your success. Every decision that you make relative to one of the components should be thoughtful and deliberate in order to ensure that it aligns with the components that both precede and follow it. To do this well often takes a number of iterations as you research, gather, digest, and analyze new information about your research topic. Purpose:
The purpose of the Historical Alignment Tool (HAT) is to support the creation of your dissertation prospectus by documenting both the developmental evolution of and the alignment between your chosen dissertation research framework, design/methods, and possible societal implications. See the “R03S01_HATdefinitions.doc,” found in the online classroom, for more information.
Use: The HAT will provide iterative documentation of your rationale for making key research design/methodology decisions. Since these decisions will be informed by the content of Residency 3, the HAT should be updated at the end of each Seminar, to either: 1) validate your existing choices, or 2) explain how new knowledge or thoughts have informed changes in your dissertation research design and methodology. Continue updating this as you continue to explore your dissertation topic after Residency 3 is completed. See “R03S01_HATdefinitions.doc” for a matrix that details component development support at Residency 3 Seminars. See the online classroom for more details about submitting your completed HAT at the end of Residency 3.

of this study is to determine the relationship between how people walk on the wall and how
often people fall off the wall. Is there a significant relationship between the manner in which people walk on the wall and the number of times people fall off the wall? Theoretical Rationale for Change
