ARTICLE IS PROVIDED BELOW IN THE FILES ALONG WITH THE RUBRIC
Research article related to the content we are currently discussing, read it, and write a 2 page synopsis and interpretation of the findings.
Within synopsis your two page analysis you should:
Provide a brief overview of the authors’ findings and conclusions. What was the purpose of the study? Who were the participants? How was the study conducted? What were the results? What were the authors conclusions based on the results?
Identify the practical application(s) of the study. Your analysis should be your interpretation and thoughts about the article. Within this section of your analysis you should identify what the findings of this study mean to you in the real world. How does this research inform you as a future professional? Be specific in your comments, writing “it would be useful” or other similar statements will not be graded favorably. Did you agree with the authors conclusions? Did you find the research to be relevant (i.e. was it an important subject to investigate?)? How might you use the findings in your future physical education lessons?
After finding an article of interest to you write the full A.P.A citation in your paper (examples below). The citation does not count as part of your two page requirement. Next read the paper, focus your time on reading the abstract, introductions, findings and discussions/conclusions. Unless you are interested in the methodology (i.e. how the researchers collected the data) you may skip those sections, we are primarily interested in the application of the research.
