Homework: Annotated Bibliography
A. Use the Walden library databases to search for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research articles from peer-reviewed journals on your topic of interest.
B. Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate the methodology section in the article to be sure that it describes the appropriate research design.
a. For quantitative research articles, confirm that a quantitative research design, such as a quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest-posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study.
b. For qualitative research articles, confirm that a qualitative research design or approach, such as narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, or phenomenology, was used in the study.
c. For mixed methods research articles, confirm that a mixed methods research (MMR) design was used in the study. There are several design classifications in MMR; some examples of MMR types or families of design are parallel, concurrent, sequential, multilevel, or fully integrated mixed methods design.
C. Prepare an annotated bibliography that includes the following:
a. A one-paragraph introduction that provides context for why you selected the six research articles you did: two quantitative, two qualitative, and two MMR.
b. A reference list entry in APA Style for each of the six articles that follows proper formatting. Follow each reference list entry with a three-paragraph annotation that includes:
o An application as illustrated in this example
o An analysis
o A summary
c. A one-paragraph conclusion that presents a synthesis of the six articles.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
