Overview
Use the provided “Deep Dive Summary Template” document to provide a brief written summary of your research study. Your summary should be between 1-2 pages, single spaced and can be written in an outline or bulleted format. Upload your completed summary to the “Deep Dive Source SUMMARY”
I will include the deep dive summary template as well as the critera down below. I will also add the source and the article-reserach study that I will be using down below.
Research-supported response SUMMARY
| Criteria | Comments | Points |
Research Summary 1. What research question(s) did the study address that will help you answer the question you chose? What did the researchers hypothesize that they would find? If the researchers did not report a specific research question or hypothesis, please state that. | Comment | /3 pts |
Research Summary 2. What are the important characteristics of the research sample? How large was the research sample (number of participants)? How old was the research sample? Where did they find their participants? And if this is a treatment study, was there comparison group(s)? | Comment | /5 pts |
Research Summary 3. What research methods did the researchers use to conduct their study? How did they measure their variable(s) of interest (surveys, blood tests, etc).? How often and/or when did they assess their participants? | Comment | /5 pts |
Research Summary 4. What were the result(s) of the study that are directly relevant to the question you chose? Many of these studies may go beyond the question that you’re trying to answer. For this assignment, please focus only on the result(s) of the study that are specific to the question you chose. | Comment | /3 pts |
Research Critique & Conclusion 1. 1. Strengths: What did you like most about your source study, and why? In other words, what did you feel that the researchers did well and/or what led you to decide to use this as the research source for your response? Do make sure to also explain why each characteristic you identified is a strength (i.e., why is it a strength?). Note: In this case, we are looking for strengths related to research design, methods, and analysis, and not how they wrote or organized the paper. (3 points) | Comment | /3 pts |
Research Critique & Conclusion 2. Limitations: What did you not like about your source study, and why? Alternatively, what do you wish that the researchers had done differently and/or what lingering question do you have after reading the study? Do make sure to als explain why each characteristic you identified is a limitation (i.e., why is it a limitation?). Note: In this case, we are looking for limitations related to research design, methods and analyses, and not how they wrote or organized the paper. (3 points) | Comment | /3 pts |
Research Critique & Conclusion 3. Summary: What conclusion were you able to draw based on the research you found? In other words, what answer did you arrive at based on the research you found? |
