Summarize in your own words the following article sections: Background/Literature Review, Purpose of the Study, Methodology, and Results.
(***Note*** The questions under each heading are there only to give you an idea of the content you may write about in each section. In your own words, paraphrase the following sections of the article:
Background/Literature Review
What background of the research did the author(s) discuss to lay the groundwork to
explain the reason they conducted the study?
Purpose of the Study
What did the author(s) state as the purpose or aim of the study? What gap in the
research was the author trying to fill?
Methodology:
How was the study set up? What was the hypothesis and null hypothesis? What was
the independent variable(s), and the dependent variable(s)? Was the study
qualitative or quantitative? What was the population being studied? How did they
select a sample? Was that sample representative?
Results:
What did the researchers find from conducting the studies? Were their findings
statistically significant?
Discussion:
Why were the findings important? What are the findings relevant to? Were there
limitations to the study? What future research did the researchers suggest?
Your Critique:
What are the studies critiqued for? Did they use sound research design and
methodology? Were their samples selected in a way that would not introduce an
intervening variable? Were their sample sizes large enough so that the results
from the sample could be generalized to the larger population from which the
sample was selected from?
IV. Provide the reference in APA format for the article at the bottom of the document under the headingReferences, centered on the page.
