ARTICLE REVIEW QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Choose 1 quantitative article from your Topical Reference List Assignment and compose a 2-page review of it. Your review must include 2 sections: (1) a summary of the article, and (2) a critical analysis of the article. The article must be from a peer reviewed journal and written in the last five years.
Your summary must include:
• The purpose of the study
• A description of participants/sample
• The research design (experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, regression, etc.)
• The method of data collection (survey, test, questionnaire, etc.)
• A statistical analysis (t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), chi square, Pearson product moment correlation, Spearman rho, etc.)
• The results
Your analysis must include:
• Opportunities for further research not already stated in the article
• Threats to validity or rival hypotheses not already discussed
• Other original insight or criticism
• Implications of the findings
See your textbook if you need more help evaluating your article.
NOTE: If the article you selected does not identify how the data was statistically analyzed (e.g., t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA etc.), it is likely that this article is either not a quantitative study or not an actual research report, but a summary of a study, in which case you must select another article.
