Article Critique Template

Format your article critiques in a double-spaced Word document as follows:

Title page

2–4-paragraph summary of the article

The last paragraph denotes the analysis section and begins with the words,

“The following information depicts how this study uses the ______________________ approach:”

and is followed with bulleted statements, just like Creswell & Poth’s work in the textbook.

· First evidence statement (with or without citation from textbook)

· Second evidence statement (with or without citation from textbook)

· Third evidence statement (with or without citation from textbook)

· Fourth evidence statement (with or without citation from textbook)

Article Critique Assignment Instructions

Overview

Creswell and Poth (2023) state, “We have always felt that the best way to learn how to write a qualitative study is to view a number of published qualitative journal articles and to look closely at the way they were composed” (p. 135). Thus, you will be given the opportunity to examine articles about two different research approaches and write critiques about each of them in two separate modules/weeks (the first one in module 3:week 3 and the second in module 5: week 5).

Instructions

First, you must select a research approach that you would like to understand better from the Creswell and Poth textbook:

· Narrative (Appendix A)

· Phenomenological (Appendix B)

· Grounded Theory (Appendix C)

· Ethnography (Appendix D)

· Case Study (Appendix E)

Choose one of the above research approaches for the first critique and select a different approach for the second critique. You cannot do the same approach for both critiques.

After selecting the approach you want to study, read the corresponding article (e.g. one of the appendices in the textbook) for that approach and the accompanying textbook summary of the approach you selected (pp. 135-153).

Next, you must choose a research article that corresponds to your selected research approach from the lists in Chapter 4 of the text.

· Narrative (pp. 86-87)

· Phenomenology (pp. 95-96)

· Grounded Theory (pp. 105-106)

· Ethnography (pp. 113-114)

· Case Study (pp.122-123)

NOTE: You MUST choose an article from the text, found in the list above.

Critique this article by following Creswell and Poth’s written model and the format in the template provided. Reread how Creswell and Poth carefully interject quotes from the article into their clear and concise article summaries to help you write your own summary.

· Remember: The First Article Critique is due in module 3: week 3 and the Second Article Critique is due in module 5: week 5

· Please see the Article Critique Template for specifications on length

· Follow APA formatting

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
