Defining Scholarship
Defining Scholarship
(Defining Scholarship)
A hallmark of your education at Walden University is your development as a scholar-practitioner. As a doctoral student, you have been actively engaged in scholarly activities that support your growth as a scholar-practitioner. As you continue to develop, implement, and evaluate your EBP project, you will be applying scholarship as you translate research into practice. A key element of scholarship is dissemination.
As you prepare for this Discussion, consider the role of evaluation and dissemination in scholarship. If research is not disseminated, can it be considered scholarship?
To prepare:
- Reflect on the definitions and criteria for scholarship presented in the Learning Resources.
- Consider AACN’s definition of scholarship and their vision of the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in furthering nursing scholarship.
By tomorrow Wednesday 11/5/18, write a minimum of 550 words essays in APA format with at least 3 references from the list of REQUIRED READINGS below. Include the level one header as underlined below:
