Concept analysis is an approach used to clarify the meanings of terms and to define terms (concepts) so that writers and readers share a common language. Concept analysis should be conducted when concepts require further clarification or development. A method commonly seen is the Walker and Avant Method.

This assignment is a two-part small-group activity. As a group, this week you will choose a concept to be used to complete the analysis. Each group must submit through email their concept choice to the instructor for approval by Day 2. On receiving approval of the concept choice, the group can begin the analysis process. Review the required reading and the elements of Walker and Avants Method. The assignment will include an APA-format paper that will be completed in two parts (Step 1 of this paper is typically 6-8 text pages). The first part will be completed this week and will include an introduction to the concept and purpose statement in the introduction, followed by the aims of the concept, uses of the concept, and defining attributes. In Week 8 you will complete the APA paper, which will include the second half of the analysis.
