At this early point in the course, you are asked to ″jump right in″ and utilize the online library to locate an appropriate scholarly journal article that presents research concerning your topic. Note that you may access the APUS Online Library and get help with scholarly research from the school. The APUS Online Library has a great orientation video to help you get started. The APUS Online Library also provides a specific guide for how to research in the library. Keep in mind that scholarly research involves solving problems. If your article does not present qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods research then you do not have an appropriate research article. Again, for the purposes of this assignment, you want to intentionally find a research article that contains one of the three methods of research: qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Save the article to your computer to have as a reference and also to attach to the assignment when your paper is completed. 3. Write a short paper that demonstrates a brief analysis of the scholarly research article you selected. Was the research method used to solve the problem qualitative or quantitative, or both? What instruments were used to answer the problem? Was there a sample used? If so, how was the sample selected? • State the hypothesis/questions or objectives. Were they stated clearly? • Are there any probable sources of error that might influence the results of the study? If so, have they been controlled? • What were the statistical or evaluative (quantitative/qualitative) techniques used to analyze the data? If so, were they appropriate? Note: There are many scholarly articles in appropriate journals that inform your topic. However, not all of them will describe research that evaluates data. Make sure that your selected article includes the evaluation/analysis of data. If you are unsure, this is the time to contact your professor and discuss it. • Summarize the results. How clearly were the results presented? • What are the limitations of the study? Are they stated? • Summarize the conclusion(s). Are the conclusions presented clearly? Does the data support the conclusions? Does the researcher over generalize the findings? • How can the results and conclusions presented in this study be applied in your particular field of study or work environment?
