Return to the library to gather 5 more scholarly research articles. This will bring your total gathered articles to a minimum of 15. It will be important for you to have true research articles (all research elements as covered in Week 3) to use in this assignment. See the Quantitative and Qualitative outlines below. For this assignment, compile an annotated bibliography using the template provided. Your annotated bibliography will include five entries. You can choose any of the 15 research articles that you have gathered to date. Be sure to make use of your new note-taking skills when preparing the information in the annotated bibliography and follow APA form and style in preparing the bibliographical information. For each entry, include the following: type and purpose methodology conclusion evaluation Length: 5-7 pages, not including the title and reference pages References: Minimum of five annotated references. Outlines for Completing the Annotations The following are suggested outlines for completing the annotations. They include brief questions that can be used as a checklist for critical reading of the scholarly research articles. You should know the meanings of all the italicized terms used in the outline starting with the similarities and important difference(s) between quantitative , qualitative , and mixed methods research designs. Annotations provide excellent practice with the language used to discuss research. The annotations should be written in a narrative format using clear and concise language. They should not be answers to the questions posed below (those are for locating information), nor should they be a series of quotations from the article, nor should they be composed of one or more bulleted lists of information. For a quantitative study, address the following: Type and Purpose What specific type of study was it? What was the purpose of the study? What was/were the hypothesis/ hypotheses of the study? Methodology What was the research design of the study? What were the variables (dependent and independent) used in the study? What was/were the method(s) of data collection ? What was/were the method(s) of data analysis ? Findings and Conclusions Were the findings based on the analysis of the data? Were the conclusions based on the findings? Evaluation What limitation(s) were mentioned by the author(s)? What is the relationship of the study to similar research? What is the usefulness of the study for your purposes? For a qualitative study, address the following: Type and Purpose What specific type of study was it? What was the purpose of the study? What was/were the research questions that framed the study? Methodology What was the research design of the study? What was the population and sample used in the study? What was/were the method(s) of data collection ?
