research article assignment

re The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with how researchers apply the scientific method and then present their research. Task Find a social science research article from an academic journal. The topic of the article should be of interest to you. Using the research method steps page (also in the module) as a guide, find and write out the following from the article: ● The hypothesis (quantitative research) or problem to investigate/question to explore (qualitative research) ● The variables in the hypothesis or investigation ● The method(s) used to gather data (research design) ● How the variables were operationalized (measured) ● What the researcher(s) found and how the results were presented (tables, graphs, charts, writing) ● The conclusion of the study (results, implications, limits to the study, etc.) ● the reference in APA format Criteria Use the LibGuide (Links to an external site.) https://bc.instructure.com/courses/2097584/pages/research-method-steps http://bellevuecollege.libguides.com/soc101cox/databases http://bellevuecollege.libguides.com/soc101cox/databases to help you find an article and determine if it is a scholarly article. View the information on the relevant topics using the menu on the left. You can check Anatomy of a Scholarly Article (Links to an external site.) for more information on the type of article you are looking for. The research article you select does not need to be from a sociological perspective, but does need to be from a social science perspective. This includes sociology (of course), psychology, anthropology, economics, political science, and others. (see https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/socsci/ (Links to an external site.) for the list of social science disciplines here at BC) Each one of the points listed above can be a separate paragraph. Some paragraphs will be longer than others. Be sure to include enough information so that the purpose of the study, how the study was done, and the results of the study would be clear to anyone reading it, regardless of that person's familiarity with the research method. For more information on how to do APA formatting see the writing help resources page. If you use a citation/reference generator, be sure to compare it to appropriate formatting (Purdue Owl (Links to an external site.) is one of my favorite sources for this) because the generators often get a part of the reference wrong. http://media.capella.edu/interactivemedia/informationLiteracy/anatomyScholarlyArticle/wrapper.asp http://media.capella.edu/interactivemedia/informationLiteracy/anatomyScholarlyArticle/wrapper.asp https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/socsci/ https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/socsci/ https://bc.instructure.com/courses/2097584/pages/writing-help-resources https://bc.instructure.com/courses/2097584/pages/writing-help-resources https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_articles_in_periodicals.html https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_articles_in_periodicals.html For information on how to view the rubric see: How do I view the rubric for my assignment?
