    EPSY 715: Understanding Research in Education


    Evaluating Two Research Articles (Group Submission)
    Reflection

    This was a group project for EPSY 715, which is a KU Master’s Degree course that

    deals with understanding research in education. This particular assignment was an opportunity

    to evaluate two research articles with my classmates: Trevor Patterson, Parker Watson, Charity

    Rodriguez, Brendan Holba, Anne Mendoza, and Traci Dewert.

    The purpose of this project was to research and evaluate two articles, specifically we

    needed to correctly identify the research paradigm used by the study’s author, identify the

    research questions the study addresses, determine if the study is quantitative or qualitative,

    determine whether theoretical or procedural sampling methods were used, identify the specific

    type of theoretical or procedural sampling, identify the target of the methods, determine the

    type of measurement and methods used to collect data, and to evaluate whether the type of data

    collection are appropriate including a comparison with other types of data that could have been

    used and identification of the questions left unanswered by the data.

    As a result of our hard work and dedication, I received almost full marks on the first

    article and full marks on the second article with helpful feedback from Professor Robyn

    Malmsten. There was not feedback to improve or work on the second article, so I chose not to

    revise. There was feedback to correct answers to the first article evaluation; these edits can be

    seen as highlights in the assignment document. Additionally, I did review the rubric to

    determine if there was any further work I would like to incorporate. I also checked for

    grammatical and structural errors. There were none, and so in this I made sure to examine the

    project carefully to determine if there was any other changes I wanted to make that might

    improve the product.

    Through this course, specifically this group project, I was provided with an opportunity

    to evaluate each part of two existing research articles, from the paradigm to the methods, etc. I

    can now appropriately and confidently identify all of these characteristics within a research

    article and determine if this is appropriate based on extensive evaluation. This course has

    prepared me, as a special educator, to connect to scientific research methods (designs and
    procedures) on a deeper level. Overall, I better understand the application of these methods to

    the educational setting. I have developed my skills for critically evaluating published research

    and for conceptualizing and designing a research study to address a specific question.
