Unit 4: Critiquing Qualitative and Quantitative Research In the paper, setting up your research critique in APA format is expected. Note the margins, running head, title and level headings. Although your paper might be set up in a different manner, it is necessary to use level headings so that information is organized neatly and logically. Below I am providing just one way you might use APA format based on the grading rubric for unit four to assist you in creating a logical and critical evaluation of our two research articles. I hope this does help.
Evaluating Research Titles We discussed the in our seminar how to use the text book to critically analyze the title of the articles. You can state the title, summarize the title, or quote the title if you so desire. Please remember if you summarize, quote or paraphrase, you need to cite the author and year at the end of the referred information. For articles with more than two, you can add the “et.al” after the initial citation of all the author names.
You know that you will evaluate the research title of both articles, place them under the same major heading and then critique each under its own subheading. This takes up space in the paper, but is very easy to follow for the reader.
Quantitative Research Article Continue following the grading rubric setting up your headings for each graded block. For some blocks you might want to combine such as adding your critique of problem, purpose and hypotheses into one major section. Just be sure to address each component. Do not leave anything out that will cause you to miss points. The grading rubric is your friend and is a very simple way to construct your paper outline.
