Case Study 2

 
R.1 Abstract of Qualitative Research Article
 
Overview: 
The term “abstract” is a homophone which can mean one of two scholarly writing activities. One, is the abstract that you will write to introduce your dissertation. The other meaning is a shortened writing assignment whereby you write a condensed summary of an academic journal.  For this assignment, we will focus on writing a scholarly abstract of a qualitative journal. More information about writing an abstract can be found via the web resource “Writing Scholarly Abstracts.”
 
Directions:
View the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment. Create a 2 and half page single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published qualitative scholarly article related to your mock dissertation topic/research question.
 
Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research.
 
Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order:

1. Bibliographic Citation – use the correctly formatted APA style citation for the work as the title of your abstract, displaying the full citation in bold font.
2. Author Qualifications – name and qualification of each author conducting the research
3. Research Concern – one paragraph summary of the reason for the overall research topic
4. Research Purpose Statement AND Research Questions or Hypotheses – specific focus of the research
5. Precedent Literature – key literature used in proposing the needed research (not the full bibliography or reference list)
6. Research Methodology – description of the population, sample, and data gathering techniques used in the research
7. Instrumentation – description of the tools used to gather data (surveys, tests, interviews, etc.)
8. Findings – summation of what the research discovered and the types of analysis that were used to describe the findings (tables, figures, and statistical measures)

 
 
R.2 Abstract of a Quantitative Research Article
 
Overview: 
The term “abstract” is a homophone which can mean one of two scholarly writing activities. One, is the abstract that you will write to introduce your dissertation. The other meaning is a shortened writing assignment whereby you write a condensed summary of an academic journal.  For this week, we will focus on writing a scholarly abstract of a quantitative journal.

Directions: 
View the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment.  Create a 2 and half page single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published quantitative scholarly article related to your mock dissertation topic/research question. Additionally, this assignment functions just like assignment R.1 only it reviews a quantitative article instead of a qualitative one.
