Article Review
Article reviews provide you with an opportunity to gather
relevant references on interesting topics that you can contribute to the
development of your identified field of study or area of interest. For this
assignment, you will utilize and locate two action
research articles that focus on school improvement initiatives. As you read
these articles, consider if the researcher adhered to the Dialectic Action
Research Spiral model (p. 26). Your article review should consider and include
the components below.
·
Write a summary of the article. Include the
purpose of the article, how the research was conducted, the ethical
considerations that were followed, the study’s results, and any other pertinent
information. Examine the relationship between action research and school
improvement initiatives. Include the purpose of the article, how the research
was conducted, what the results were, and any other pertinent information.
·
Discuss the meaning or implication of the
results of the study.
·
Compile an analysis of a documented action
research project identifying critical action research components. This is where
you offer your opinion on the article. Discuss any flaws with the article, how
you think it could have been better, and what you think it all means.
·
Discuss how the author could expand on the
results, what the information means in the big picture, what future research
should focus on, or how future research could move the topic forward.

Discuss how knowledge in the area could be
expanded.
