To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the same article you were assigned to last week. For example, if you were assigned to Article A last week, continue with Article A this week. (Remember also to review the article to which you were not assigned so that you can respond effectively to one colleague who read the other article.)
Review Chapter 2 and pp. 79–87 of Chapter 4 in the course text, Research Design and the “Literature Review” media segment.
Review the annotated journal article “Examining Contextual Factors in the Career Decision Status of African American Adolescents,” which is annotated to reveal how the literature is used.
Look to the Use of Literature Checklist for more guidance in analyzing and evaluating the author’s use of literature in your assigned article.
Locate where in each article that the literature is used. For example, is it used as background, in a literature review, or in the conclusion? Why is the literature located in a particular part of the article?
Determine if the literature is used to introduce a problem or a theory, or to direct readers to the research questions and hypotheses.
Evaluate the use of literature in each article.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis and evaluation of the author’s use of literature in your assigned research article.
