Select one applied research, action research, mixed methods, or program evaluation peer-reviewed research study published in an article related to your topic of interest. All articles mustbe of educational studies conducted and published in the United States or Canada withinthe past five years. Because applied research could be either quantitative or qualitative, youmust be able to distinguish the correct characteristics to include the correct components; it mustbe true applied research (meaning the research findings are providing solutions to a problem).You may not use meta-analyses, meta-syntheses, or longitudinal studies; all research evaluatedmust be original.After thoroughly reviewing the study in the selected article, compose a full three-page review(not including the required title and references pages). Brevity is crucial as it forces you toinclude only the most essential information.
