Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing exercise and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Complete a review of the article attached. An example is attached as well.
Format of Article Review:
- Write the source at the top of the page in APA format. Include a few parenthetical citations throughout your review. Use direct quotes sparingly. Only use a direct quote if the exact phrasing of the original material is crucial to your point and you are unable to paraphrase.
- Answer these questions about the study, however, write your article review in paragraph format and do not include these questions as headings (again, use the Example Article Review as reference).
- Provide an introduction to the study.
- What is the research question/purpose statement offered by the author(s)?
- Who were the participants? Include demographic items such as age, gender, location, year in school, etc.
- What was the procedure? How was the study conducted (survey instrument, interview, or a review of historical/archived data)?
- How was the data analyzed? What quantitative statistical methods were used if the study included surveys? What qualitative methods were used if the author(s) conducted interviews?
- What were the results/ findings?
- What are the implications of the study? How do they relate to your overarching topic in physical education, administration, exercise science, or sport? (Remember you must stay in third-person writing here.)
