Based on what you learned from the readings while developing the concept map, what are some gaps in literature that you identified? Summarize briefly (you
may use bullet points for statements with citations) what is known about your topic, following with a statement(s) of what still needs to be researched.
Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer
reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations.
For your reference, I am a healthy, white 34-year old female from Kentucky. I am extremely active and spend a lot of time working out and eating healthy food.
Also, I am a college professor in the Exercise Science department and own an online fitness and nutrition coaching business. My dissertation topic is the
effect of daily vs. weekly check-ins for adherence in an online fitness & nutrition coaching program ). Please refer to this link for further explanation regarding
my dissertation topic ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/15iP494heIzm9H7gTWdo_Gs7Y3QErlDBWicy7Zdl51n0/edit)

Concept mapping as developed by Novak (Novak, 1998; Novak & Cañas 2006) is a graphical tool used to represent links between ideas. Ideas are written in
boxes and linked with arrows carrying explanatory legends. The ability to construct a concept map illustrates two essential properties of understanding: the
representation and the organization of ideas. Halford (1993) states that “to understand a concept entails having an internal representation or mental model
that reflects the structure of that concept” (p. 7). A concept map is an attempt to make explicit such a mental model so that it can be reviewed with others
(Chang, 2007). The construction of concept maps is an excellent way to offer a preliminary organization of knowledge and to structure your understanding of
how you will approach your dissertation topic.

Create a concept map with a list of references for the preliminary literature review of your dissertation proposal topic (See:

Follow these steps to create a concept map: (I have attached a preliminary concept map for my topic)…
