Assignment:
Use the Cybrary to choose and evaluate at least two educational research journal articles that discuss similar research problems (for example, one of your research articles may discuss 4th grade reading comprehension after school programs and another one may discuss 4th grade reading class motivational tactics) . The articles you select should contain the following core components: Introduction, Literature Review, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Compare and contrast these articles.
Write a 4 to 5 page graduate level, APA-formatted paper that addresses the following:
1. What are the focuses/topics of the articles you have selected?
2. What is the primary research question or hypothesis of this research project? How are they different?
3. Discuss the research articles the authors cite in the articles. Do you think one author has a better literature review than the other? Why or why not?
4. Discuss any differences or similarities in the perspectives presented in each article.
5. Compare how the two articles collected the data.
6. Were the studies valid and reliable?
In your opinion, which study proved its conclusion more effectively? Why?
I am having a hard time period, but to begin I don't even have a clue as to what two things I should research let alone how to affectively communicate what is being asked here. I need to understand clearly how to break this down.
