Q Assignment #1 - Identify original, empirical research, review it, and critique it! Assignment #1 will be spilt up into five small "chunks". In this chunk you only have to identify an article that fits the criteria. You will revisit this same article in Assignment #1 parts B, C, D and E! So, make sure you find the topic of the article interesting. The combination of all of these, A-E is a thorough analysis of an original research article. The parts could be combined to start you off on your way to an annotated bibliography or literature review of your own. Assignment #1B Original Research Article - Literature Review Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to summarize previous literature on a topic using your Assignment 1A article literature review. Reviewing the current literature on a topic of interest is one of the first steps in the research process. You will not be asked to create an entire review of the literature (called a literature review). However, you will demonstrate that you can identify the literature review section of your article - NOT the original research, the previous research that your article discusses as the framework or basis of their own research. In a complete literature review, you would repeat this process many times and then write up a coherent essay about the state of research on your topic. Skills: You will work with online databases to identify a peer-reviewed original research article. You will identify the literature review in that article. You will learn to summarize what the article is discussing as previous literature. Knowledge: You will begin to gain knowledge about the topic of interest that you would like to study further - perhaps in Capstone (in a real literature review you would continue this many times over until you felt you understood the state of the topic entirely). Task: 1. Use online databases – through the library – to identify a peer-reviewed, original, empirical research article on the topic of your interest (Assignment #1A). 2. Once you have identified the article fits the criteria (peer-reviewed, original research, and is actually readable), save a pdf of the article. (Assignment #1A) 3. Previous readings regarding literature reviews and annotated bibliographies as a guide, be sure to address the following items using complete sentences. There should be NO quoted material – part of the assignment is improving summarizing, and paraphrasing skills. Each of these areas should be addressed in complete sentences. 4. Upload BOTH your identification and summary of the literature review AND of the article (I know you did this in 1A, please do it again). 5. Write a short essay, about 100-300 words that addresses the following: • o ? What was this author’s take on previous literature/studies on the topic? ? Was the current research filling some “gap” in the literature? Why did they want to do more research or think more needed to be done? Criteria: You must address all items noted above in a coherent and well-written essay. A complete rubric is found below. Be sure to upload BOTH your essay and your original article. Below are some helpful guideposts as you write the critique. Do not follow these prompts at the expense of following the outline above. The outline above is more comprehensive; however you should check that your critique does the following: • Summarizes the relevant literature - as noted in the article. Discusses how this study fits into the existing literature. • PLEASE REVIEW everything from the Holosko Chapter module including the following videoLinks to an external site. for additional information about how to do this assignment!
