Remember, not all sources and articles in the UAGC Library are educational, so please refer to the Instructor Guidance for further tips and information on locating scholarly, peer-reviewed journals this week.

RefWorks
Part of research is tracking and maintaining all the articles and other sources needed for your research. RefWorks is a tool available to UAGC students to help them save and organize resources for current and future research. Additionally, you can save your article notes (i.e., the information you included in the template used for the Week 2 discussion) using RefWorks. Review the RefWorks Notetaking and Peer-Sharing Guide (Links to an external site.) for more information. If this is your first time using RefWorks, review the following resources:

Using the ECE660 Week 2 Action Research Proposal Literature Evaluation Template, download the ECE660 Week 2 Action Research Proposal Literature Evaluation Template, similar to the one you used in this week’s discussion, and complete the requirements below. Remember, in your final action research proposal, you will convert the information you added to the tables in the template into paragraph form.

Select two scholarly, credible, or peer-reviewed full-text articles related to your area of focus and research questions.
You may use the article you reviewed in this week’s discussion as one of the two resources required for review and evaluation.
Summarize your area of focus and the associated problem statement or situation for your action research proposal.
Restate your research question.
Part 1: Article Summary Tables

For each article, complete one table with the following information below. Each section must be complete and add relevant information related to the article.

CRAAP Test: Evaluate each article for currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose.

Relevance to Proposed Study: Appraise how the study relates to the challenge or situation you want to improve in your action research proposal.
Part 2: Literature Evaluation Table

Complete the summary table after completing each of the article summary tables. The purpose of this table is for you to synthesize information from the articles you reviewed to determine how each will inform your action research proposal, specifically focusing on the interventions and qualitative and quantitative instruments.

Literature Evaluation Table: Use the literature evaluation table to organize your decisions regarding which interventions and instruments are the most relevant to your action research proposal based on your two article summaries.
Part 3: Relevance, Terms and Application

Identify one early childhood theory that could be used to support your proposal.
Define research-related terms.
Describe what intervention you would suggest and why.
Research and Resource Expectations
A minimum of two scholarly, credible, or peer-reviewed sources, in addition to the course textbook, are required.
Next Steps
Review your assignment with the Grading Rubric to ensure you have achieved the distinguished performance levels for each criterion. Submit the assignment for evaluation no later than Da.
