An important component of scholarly writing is the use of evidence to support an academic argument. An academic argument is your position, claim about, or interpretation of a topic. Your position should be supported by evidence from the sources you read. For instance, if you want to argue that the age at which children move out of their parents’ house in a particular country is decreasing, you need to provide a source that supports this claim. This resource could be a reading from class, an article that you found on your own in the Walden library, or data from a government website, to name a few examples.

You may be wondering: But what about my experiences? While true that this course and others in your program will ask you to examine your own life and experiences, these reflections should also be connected to concepts you are learning about. For instance, you might examine how your adolescent experiences can be explained by developmental theory, or what the literature says about how your culture’s perspective on early childhood education compares to others.

As you move further along in developing your writing skills, you will become more adept at incorporating evidence to support an argument in your writing. This Skill Building Activity will guide you through this process.

USING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT AN ARGUMENT

RESOURCES

Review the “Using Evidence in Academic Writing" podcast and “How to Use Evidence from the Literature to Support Your Assignments” video. Consider how you will increase your scholarly skills by incorporating evidence from the literature in your future Discussions and Assignments. Review the article “Can Parents Be Both Individualist and Collectivist?” Based on this article, take a position on whether parents can be both individualist and collectivist and use the article to support your argument.

Based on the article you read and in one paragraph, take a position on whether parents can be both individualist and collectivist and use the article as evidence to support your argument. Make sure you use proper APA style and format for your citations and referencing.

Before submitting your final assignment, you can check your draft for authenticity. To check your draft, access the Turnitin Drafts from the Start Here area.
