1. The articles you are supposed to finding and reviewing should be peer-reviewed.
Not all articles are peer reviewed. Please make sure they are. Here is how you should do so.
Click here: A-Z Databases (kean.edu)
Scroll down to “psycinfo”
click on “Advanced search”
Scroll to where it says “peer reviewed” and check the box next to it.
Go back up and search for the articles
Tip: You can also select “choose databases” and then “select all” if you want more results to show up.
2. Please upload all articles along with your papers. In the past, students have used chat-gpt, which generated articles which didn’t even exist. As a result, papers will not be accepted unless they are
accompanied by the PDFs of the articles you found. If Canvas won’t let you upload them with your paper, just email them to me, no problem. This is not a difficult activity.
Attached is a very rushed, but I believe useful resource for writing your next two papers. If you read this and follow it, assuming you understand your articles properly, you should improve after reading this document. 
By the way, you do not necessarily have to discuss applying the information to public policy for the next two assignments. Let me know if you have any questions.

1.    
Write a forum reply to Tracy’s post.
2.    
It will need to be between 300 to 400 words.
3.    
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.

Assignment:
This assignment will give you experience in generating an experimental question and hypothesis by extrapolating from the research article, “Long work hours, weekend working and depressive symptoms in men and woman: findings from a UK population-based study” – Weston, et al. 2019
After developing a research question*** that expands upon their findings. You will then design an experiment to answer your new question and write a full APA-Style Introduction, Method, and Expected Results.
*** To further extend this research study, I would question whether the salary of the person causes any difference in the symptoms of depression or stress ***
Instructions:
– Define and develop your IV(s) and DV(s) needed to answer this question. Think about what is needed for each section of your methods (participants, materials, procedures). How will you manipulate the IV(s), how will you measure the DV(s)? Who will your participants be? What will you have them do? What will you use to measure their responses?
– Develop a specific hypothesis and rationale. What do you think the outcome of your experiment would be if we actually did it? Why do you think that would be the outcome?
– Write an Introduction Section in APA style that uses the previous research you found to summarize relevant background information and incorporate the research questions, hypothesis, and rationale you developed
– Write your Method Section in APA Style using headings, subheadings, and citations where appropriate.
– Write your intended statistics and Expected Results section in APA Style
Paper should include:
1. APA Style Title Page
2. APA Style Introduction Section
3. An APA Style Method section with the following subsections: Participants, Materials, Procedures.
4. An APA Style Expected Results section with details regarding which statistics you would run for this experiment, and how you expect the results to turn out. Include a figure (bar graph or line graph) to demonstrate these expected results
5. APA Style Reference Section

Here you will submit the final paper for your Issue Background Project. The pape

Here you will submit the final paper for your Issue Background Project. The paper is roughly 12 to 16 pages in length, double-spaced, cited in APA format. You should have at least ten sources and your paper should cover roughly the following questions. These questions are not hard and fast, but should be present in any good exposition of your issue area. What is especially important are the connections you draw between the issue and the themes from this course. 
Elements or sections that could enhance this paper include:
Introduction – you can use some (with refinement) of the content from your identification assignment.
Description of the issue – What is it? What is the history of the issue? Where and when did it start? What are the impacts?
Stakeholders – Who impacts this issue? Who is impacted? How are they impacted? What would they have to say about it?
Current Policies – Is government doing anything about it? 
The Ideal Outcome – What does success look like for this issue? What conditions would have to be present to consider the problem solved?
Any other information you find relevant.
All claims should be backed by reputable sources and all sources should be cited properly in APA citation style. Your paper will be uploaded to Blackboard in (.doc or .docx) format.
The most successful assignments will have:
Answers for all prompts above.
Made appropriate changes based on feedback from the professor.

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.”

The practitioners at the inner-city community-based HIV clinic noticed over the past year there has been a dramatic increase in the number of black adolescent girls who have been diagnosed with HIV. They wondered why that was happening and whether there were any interventions that address the unique needs of this population that might help lower the HIV infection rates in this population. The team came together to do an EBP project to determine what was in the literature and found very little addressing this issue. Therefore, the team decided to conduct research.
Compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research. 
In this scenario, for what aspects of the issue would you use a qualitative research approach and for which aspects would you use a quantitative research approach? 
If you wanted to use the strongest quantitative methodology possible, what type of research study would you construct? Describe how sampling impacts the strength of the study design.
