Week 8 Assignment – TA

This is the feedback for the quantitative that you did

 

This is a very good submission. You went beyond summarizing by discussing strengths (multicenter design, standardized measures) and limitations (dropouts, institutional differences, need for long-term follow-up). Greay Critical Thinking.

Avoid unsupported statements.For example:

“The article advances nursing education literature by the emergence of a new trend…”

This is a broad claim. It would be stronger if connected directly to the article’s findings or cited with evidence.

Be more specific in the analysis.Instead of saying:

“Standardized competency measures…”

You could identify the actual assessment instruments or explain how competency was measured. 

 

 

Annotation of a Qualitative Research Article

Submit: Annotation of a Qualitative Research Article

This week, you will submit the annotation of a qualitative research article on a topic of your interest. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.

An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source topic. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.

An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.

Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.

Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance.

It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeSummary

26 to >23.3 ptsEXCELLENTPaper provides an excellent overview of all important information from the source, including the topic of the source, the methods they employed, the theoretical or conceptual basis of the study, and the conclusions.

23.3 to >20.7 ptsGOODPaper provides an overview of the important information from the source, although some aspects of the summary (e.g., descriptions of the methods, the theoretical or conceptual framework, the conclusions) are less detailed than others.

20.7 to >18.1 ptsFAIRPaper provides only a cursory review of the source. Several important domains are either missing altogether or are insufficiently explained.

18.1 to >0 ptsPOORPaper provides little to no information about what the source was about. The source’s topic, methods, framework, and/or conclusions are either absent or very unclear.

26 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCritique

26 to >23.3 ptsEXCELLENTPaper provides a thorough and dispassionate critique or analysis of the source, addressing both its good and bad qualities. The critique addresses how aligned the research question is to the existing body of knowledge, the appropriateness of the theoretical or conceptual framework to the study, the sufficiency of the methods and design, and the generalizability/transferability of the results in other contexts. The paper also provides a critical analysis of the social change implications of the study’s findings.

23.3 to >20.7 ptsGOODPaper provides a critique of the source, addressing both its good and bad qualities, but does not cover all important aspects of the source (e.g., might be missing a critique of the methods, designs, framework, or conclusions).

20.7 to >18.1 ptsFAIRPaper provides a critique of the source but is missing several important domains or some of the critiques are emotionally laden, not dispassionate.

18.1 to >0 ptsPOORPaper’s critique is inappropriate. It is either based on a weak understanding of the source’s methods, or it is not based on empirical evidence (e.g., it is based on an emotional reaction to the source’s content).

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeApplication

26 to >23.3 ptsEXCELLENTPaper provides a clear justification for how the source is applicable to one’s research question/research interests. The paper addresses the extent to which the source’s topic is similar to one’s research interests, how the source’s method is applicable to one’s research, and how the source helps to guide one’s own research. Overall, the application of this source to one’s research is very clear.

23.3 to >20.7 ptsGOODPaper provides a justification for how the source is applicable to one’s research, but there is some uncertainty about how the source provides a framework for one’s research (e.g., the connection between the source’s method, framework, or conclusions to one’s research is not clear).

20.7 to >18.1 ptsFAIRPaper provides some justification for how the source is similar to one’s research, but its application is unclear.

18.1 to >0 ptsPOORThere is very little connection between the source and one’s research interests. There is little to no explanation about why the source was chosen or how it will inform one’s research plan.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeWriting

22 to >19.7 ptsEXCELLENTPaper is well organized, uses scholarly tone, follows APA Style, uses original writing and proper paraphrasing, contains very few or no writing and/or spelling errors, and is fully consistent with graduate-level writing style. Paper contains multiple, appropriate, and exemplary sources expected/required for the assignment.

19.7 to >17.5 ptsGOODPaper is mostly consistent with graduate-level writing style. Paper may have some small or infrequent organization, scholarly tone, or APA Style issues, and/or may contain a few writing and spelling errors, and/or somewhat less than the expected number of or type of sources.

17.5 to >15.3 ptsFAIRPaper is somewhat below graduate-level writing style, with multiple smaller or a few major problems. Paper may be lacking in organization, scholarly tone, APA Style, and/or contain many writing and/or spelling errors, or shows moderate reliance on quoting versus original writing and paraphrasing. Paper may contain inferior resources (number or quality).

15.3 to >0 ptsPOORPaper is well below graduate-level writing style expectations for organization, scholarly tone, APA Style, and writing, or relies excessively on quoting. Paper may contain few or no quality resources.
