In the unit introduction, we mentioned the importance of critical thinking skills in applying evidence-based solutions to create desirable outcomes in psychology. In Unit 2, we began locating and evaluating high-quality research to support our practice in the field of psychology. In this unit, we add critical thinking tools to our repertoire to further critique research and its relevancy to our research questions and practice. Evaluate one of the articles you located for your Unit 7 assignment, using Paul and Elder's (2007) Elements of Thought that you explored in the studies. Then respond to the following questions:
· From what point of view is the author writing?
· What is the main concept the author is attempting to express?
· How are the author's claims supported by data and evidence?
· How is the article relevant to your research question and the field of psychology?
· What might occur if you implement the ideas in the article in your psychology practice?
· How could you integrate the use of Bloom's in this analysis to further critique your psychology research?
