• Conclusions drawn from the data that
relate to your work
• Methods/design that may inform your work
on the topic
• Limitations of the source
• How does this add to or inform your topic?

Example A
Rubin, A. (2012). Technology Meets Medical Education: Envisioning a Practical
Future Forum on the Future of Technology in Education. Journal of
Medical Education 3, 301-322.
This article looks at online learning from the perspective of graduate
level medical education instead of looking at medical education from the
perspective of online learning. Several categories of technology use are
discussed, noting the present situation and future possibilities. Most
prominently discussed is the idea of using interactive medical diagrams
using new programs and technology.
Five other powerful uses of technology in medical education are
listed, and factors that are necessary to fulfill the potential of technology
are considered. Some concerns about the integration of online learning
into medical education are also included as well as a brief closing
restatement of the dilemma. The study examines pilot programs across
five different medical schools in the U.S. and Canada.

Example B
Cusatis, C., & Martin-Kratzer, R. (2010). Assessing the state of medical
education in AAMC-accredited and non-accredited medical programs.
Medical Educators, 64, 356-372.
Through surveys, the authors assessed medical education in the United States,
from both AAMC-accredited and non-accredited programs. Results indicated that
few programs offered a grant-writing course specifically for the novice researcher.
Instead, most relied on general education requirements and segments of core
medical writing courses to provide students with grant writing and research skills.
The average medical student's grant-writing skills were rated as "poor" or "fair" by
70.2% of school deans.
A lack of room in the curriculum was the most commonly cited constraint to the
implementation of grant-writing courses, although others, such as conflicts with the
scheduling and logistics, and the limiting effect of accreditation standards on the
curriculum, were also documented. The article is interesting and accessible, but it
relies almost entirely on self-reporting in the surveys, it is subject to bias and
dishonesty in the responses. This is useful in seeing an example of survey
methodology to guide my own project.

Example C
Starks, B. C., Harrison, L., & Denhardt, K. (2011). Outside the comfort zone of the classroom.
Journal of Nursing Education, 2, 203-225. doi:10.1080/10511253.2010.517773
This paper explains how service learning can be a valuable part of a student’s academic
career. Service can be tied into a course and takes students outside of the classroom for a
non-traditional, active learning experience that can impact not only their education, but their
personal and professional lives. Examples of service learning in a nursing context are
provided for other educators to encourage them to explore service learning projects in their
own courses.
Their examples support my proposal to demonstrate that learning can be achieved in
non-traditional ways, and service learning can have a larger impact that regular classroom
study. The examples and background in this article describe how teaching and learning has
changed over time, and provides important perspective and context to inform my topic.
Their method of implementing service learning in their nursing program can serve as a model
for me to design a service learning course in my institution.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 From the assignment: Write an annotation for each source. These annotations should be single-spaced and should include an overview of the study and succinctly evaluate the source’s argument, sources of evidence, methodology, and conclusions specifically focused on the underlying causes and factors associated with your POP and their relation to the POP. The annotation should also indicate the primary audience of the work and the constructs used.
  • #9 Focusing on Step 5 today, writing annotations.
