Critiquing Research
13554This week you are responsible to read each of the following research articles and begin critiquing them by filling out the first four sections on the Article Critique Form. (APA reference, Purpose, Hypothesis or Research Question, and Theoretical Framework). USE A SEPARATE ARTICLE CRITIQUE FORM FOR EACH ARTICLE. You will finish a complete article critique form for each of the research articles by the end of the course. Your goal in these critiques is to evaluate whether the details of the article demonstrate that the research is valid, reliable, and useful for evidence-based practice (EBP), or that the research was poorly done and should not be trusted for use as EBP. To receive full points for the critiques, you must thoroughly evaluate each category and give evidence for your answer.
Helpful Hints:
If you do not find evidence of a certain critique item, can you glean what you need to know from the body of the work? Sometimes authors do not explicitly give the reader information, but an astute reader can read between the lines.
You may be able to glean information from the opening of the article or the abstract. However, be careful. The body of the article may say something completely different. You will be responsible for finding the true details from the whole article.
Think outside the box. Sometimes researchers describe their methods or thought processes in ways that make them look good, but there is something not quite right. Think about the fact that responsible data collection must account for every detail. There is also NO ROOM for human bias in evaluating data. When you process the articles, think about what could have gone wrong. Did the authors account for human error? You will be evaluating these kinds of things in weeks to come, but it is not too early to consider them.
Each of the critique items should be written as paragraphs with complete sentences. If you use quotes from the article please place them in quotation marks, but you do not have to use in-text citations. This form is considered a personal document for evaluation purposes and the proper APA reference at the top is all of the citation that is needed.
If a critique item is not covered at all and cannot be gleaned from the body of the article, make a statement to this effect in a complete sentence.
