For your doctoral degree at CTU, you are writing a dissertation that is practice-oriented because you are progressing toward completion of a practitioner doctorate. The practitioner doctorate is normally expected to produce practice-oriented dissertations that may apply an existing theory to a domain of practical knowledge (though this is not always a requirement). The emphasis is on investigating a research area that is of professional interest to the doctoral student.

Reflect on the progress that you have made on your proposal thus far. In your Primary Response to this Discussion Board(DB) assignment, respond to the following questions

• How does your proposed study help to answer a question related to a practice-oriented problem of importance in your field and concentration?
• How has this question changed or evolved from when you first began this journey? Describe your process of discovery.
