Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sources 1 8 Assignment Instructions

Overview

You will complete two annotated bibliography assignments during the course that will serve as the research foundation of your final paper. You will submit the first one in this module and the second one in module 4:

Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sources 1 8 Assignment (8 sources)

Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sources 9 Assignment (8 sources)

Instructions

Each annotated bibliography must follow the current APA format and include the number of scholarly sources required in the assignment title.

You are to include eight references with full citations and annotations in this assignment. You may use the references that you used in the Course Project: Develop a Topic Assignment. You will need to create a different syntheses table (or tables) than you used in the Develop a Topic assignment because the headings will be different in the final draft/final paper. There are sample templates included in the module for this, or you can create your own using an Excel spreadsheet.

At least five of the scholarly resources you provide for each assignment must be current and published in the last five years. The others must have been published within the last 10 years. These must be empirical, peer-reviewed journal articles and professional books. All sources must be directly related to your research topic.

Place your topic at the top of page 2 of the annotated bibliography. Under the topic, write the full citation for the reference, followed by the annotation. The text in the annotations must be indented so that the authors last name is the only text that is flush left due to the hanging indent required in current APA format.

Each entry should include:

1.An APA formatted reference.

1. An annotation summarizing the main points in the reference.
2. A statement of how the information will be beneficial and contribute to the final draft you will be writing in the Course Project: Final Paper Draft Assignment and the final paper in the Course Project: Final Paper Assignment. The explanation of how you will use the information in your final paper should be written in 1stperson. What benefit does this source provide? What section might it contribute to? Do you see any interplay between this source and others you have selected? In what section of my paper can I use this information?

In the resources summary, focus on the purpose of the research study/reference and the findings/conclusions. You do not need to include the details of the research study, such as the number of participants or the research method used. The annotations are designed to help you and your instructor better understand how your sources connect to your research topic. The summary of the main points of the reference should be written in 3rd person. No in-text citations are needed in the summary because all of the information is from the reference you are annotating, and the citation is above the annotation.

Note: Do not cut and paste from the references, as this constitutes plagiarism. Most of the time, this occurs as an innocent oversight on the part of the candidate. Regardless of the reason, in the event of plagiarism, you will receive 0 points for the entire assignment per Liberty Universitys policy on academic dishonesty.

Formatting Requirements

Each annotated bibliography must have a title page with a running head and page numbers, following the current APA professional format.

No abstract is required. No reference list is required.

Each annotation must be 150 words.

• Annotations must be organized alphabetically, by reference.

Important Notes

• In addition to these instructions, consult the grading rubric for details on grading and quality. Refer to the Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sample located under the Assignment Directions in this module for a sample paper that is written and formatted correctly.
• A research paper is not a summary of the main points of each source written in separate paragraphs. When information is synthesized, the reference information from all of the different scholarly references is combined. You put together the ideas and findings to put your voice (the writers voice) to the overall points being explained. You must keep track of and document the information used in each section of the paper by taking notes as you read and then transferring your notes into a synthesis table.
• As you read and annotate references, you will start to see different themes or subtopics emerge. An effective way of documenting information for these different themes and subtopics is to use a note-taking method and then move your notes into the table. This will assist you in synthesizing or combining the information from the different references when you write the final draft. This was explained in the Develop a Topic Assignment. There are sample synthesis tables that you can use in this module, or you can use an Excel spreadsheet. You can move the information from the synthesis table you created for the Develop a Topic paper into the synthesis table (or tables for this assignment).

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Research Design Project: Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Pre-Matrix Table Assignment Instructions

Overview

The main assignments for this course are wrapped into the Research Design Project. This project has three pre-matrix tables that will inform three matrices. Each table and matrix address basic and applied research that is quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, action research and/or program evaluation. For each table, you will be finding education research articles on the same topic using the specified research design(s). For the matrices, you will be identifying methods information and critiquing the studies. This assignment helps you learn how to evaluate research, identify the main components of good research, and start building your literature review. You will use the articles approved in Modules 2-4 during Modules 5-7.

Instructions

You will submit 2 documents for this assignment:

• RDP: Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Pre-Matrix Table
• Zip-file with all of your articles (Naming convention: RDP QUAL MM Articles)

For the RDP: Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Pre-Matrix Table, you will

1. Select 3 research study articles published in a peer-reviewed journal related to your topic of interest.
   1. All articles must be educational studies published within the past five years.
   2. All articles must be on the same or connecting subject matter.
   3. Articles cannot be literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses or meta-syntheses, any other type of review or synthesis, longitudinal studies, instrument validation studies; all research evaluated must be original/single empirical research. Reports and dissertations are not allowed as they are not peer-reviewed journal articles. .

• Each of the 3 articles should have a different research design. You must select:
• For 1 and only one of your article searches, you are required to use artificial intelligence (AI) to find and verify your article.
• Be sure to download every article and save it in a folder on your computer. You may be asked to produce the article if the instructor has any issues downloading it. This will also ensure that the article is real!

1. Basic Research Article Qualitative (QUAL-B)
2. Basic Research Article Mixed Methods (MM-B)

And 1 of the following:

1. Applied Research Article Qualitative (QUAL-A)
2. Applied Research Article Mixed Methods (MM-A)

NOTE: Applied research cannot be using the action research design

a.You may only use M365 Copilot, LUs approved source for AI.

b.You may ONLY use AI to complete the components in the pre-matrix table for that single study.

c.You will identify for which research design component you used AI and include a copy of your conversation after your reference section in the template.

d.Please remember that AI is not always correct and you have to use your knowledge gained for the week in determining whether AIs information is usable or if you have to reprogram.

e.Remember to download the article!

Microsoft Copilot Software As a student, you have access to this tool as part of the Microsoft 365 software package. You can also access it from your myLU account > IT Marketplace > Scroll down to Microsoft 365 Software (under IT Marketplace Software).

HELPFUL INFORMATION

For help finding articles in general, refer to the Read: Suggestions and Tips for Determining Research Designs in the Learn section of this module for more information.

Any sections requiring textbook support must use the textbook from this course.

For help determining the research design for qualitative research (e.g., narrative, grounded theory, case study, phenomenology, ethnography), refer to the Read: Qualitative Research: Common Types of Data Collection, Analyses, and Research Design

For help determining the specific mixed methods research design used, please use your textbook readings, PowerPoint slides, videos, and the Read: Qualitative Research: Common Types of Data Collection, Analyses, and Research Design in this module and the Read: Quantitative Research: Common Types of Analyses and Research Designs in the previous module.

It is highly recommended that you search for articles in your capstone interest area. Additionally, higher-tiered journals are preferred over lower-tiered journals as they provide better information from top experts. The link to the tiered rankings can be found in the Resource section of the assignment description.

Using the provided Research Design Project Qualitative and Mixed Methods Pre-Matrix Template, provide the following information in a paraphrased format.

In the table

Research Designs: Basic, Applied, and Evaluation

	Basic	Applied
Purpose	Purpose is to acquire or produce new knowledge or expand on existing knowledge based existing theories and previous literature	Purpose is to find solutions to practical or specific work-related problems by exploring the value of basic research knowledge (for decision-making in schools and policymaking)
Theoretical Connection	Theory selected to test a hypothesis (quantitative) or frame (qualitative) a research study	Existing theory, models or guidelines is selected to address the problem being explored
Types	Types can be exploratory, descriptive, or explanatory as the goal is to understand and explain things. Sometimes it may look like program evaluation, but it is an efficacy study	Types can include action research, research and development, and program evaluation studies (effectiveness/impact) where the goal is to solve a problem. Program evaluation judges the program, its strategies, or its processes to improve effectiveness and/or efficiency to see if it is meeting the needs of a school/school district
Findings	Findings are more generalizable to larger populations	Findings are more pertinent to the demographics of the sample studied
Designs Used	Quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods used to design study and determine sampling, data collection, and analysis. Usually in an artificial setting such as a laboratory or a highly-controlled authentic setting	Quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods used to design study and determine sampling, data collection, and analysis. Usually in an authentic setting like a classroom or school
