Among other things she has written, I want to in the
writing acknowledge that like her Braun and Clarke thematic analysis of data
also appeal to me as well because they propose a very systematic way of data
analysis for my own qualitative research question “In the NSW context, what
instruction strategies for high school teachers use to cater for students with
learning difficulties and disabilities & that analysis method is fitting to
analyse my qualitative research question which is an online qualitative survey.
4.    
Depending
on what is more relevant to Tracy’s post, you might like to write on Miles
and Huberman or Content Analysis to compare it to Baun and Clark for analysis or
provide critical view on what she has written according to the text (Chapter 10,
see attached)
5.    
You
will need to have 2-4 references (APA 7), needs to be current in the last 10
years and have to be peer -reviewed.
Hope
this helps.
I
have also attached Chapter 10 of my textbook which is where the forum post is
supposed to be related to in here.

For this assignment, you will find me TWO articles that offer t-tests as a statistical technique.  Then answer the following questions about BOTH articles.  Please cite each article in APA format, must be peer-reviewed, within the past 5 years, etc.
1) Offer a brief description of the study (100 words approximately)
2) is the t-test an independent or dependent test? 
3) what is the dependent variable being compared?
4) What did the authors set as the level of significance?
5) What were the t-tests and p-values? Is the result statistically significant? Briefly explain your answer.  
6) Do the researchers offer information on mean, degrees of freedom, standard deviations, etc? What is the significance of adding this information? How does it help us to understand the two sets of data?

instructions from the professor:
The following link shows what the professor is looking  for in a critique 
https://www.uis.edu/learning-hub/writing-resources/handouts/learning-hub/how-to-review-a-journal-article
Critiques must be one to two (1-2) full pages of writing, excluding cover page. The entire document must be in APA formatting, but no author’s note or abstract is required. That means 12 point font, one inch margins, double spacing, page headers, and a standard APA cover page (see APA examples in module)- but you don’t need an author’s note or abstract. APA adherence will be part of your grade! Don’t use bullets or lists in your critique- it should be in paragraph form using full sentences. You don’t need any external resources for this aside from your article. 
Professor also stated the following: 
“I will be grading your critique based on how well you cover the issues brought up on that website. Really take the time to pick an article that you think is well written and analyze every aspect of it- from the title, to the way they present their research question, to the way they wrote their methodology, to their use of subheadings, to how they wrap up the paper in a thoughtful conclusion. Look at their use of language- consider how they present the process they went through. Does everything make sense to you? How could the author(s) have done better? Read it a few times if you can. Be critical! Even great articles have weaknesses, and even boring/monotonous articles have good points. Remember, you are not critiquing the study, but the actual article itself. This is also not a place to just summarize the article or give your opinion about the topic.”
**I will be providing the article for you to write the article critique**
