Select and critique one peer-reviewed article from a professional journal (no older than six years) related to assessment, assessment instruments, ethics, or test development which includes a statistical analysis. Follow APA 6th edition format when writing your review. Attach a hard copy of the full text article with your paper with this assignment. See the scoring guide in Appendix B for full details.
Requirements: When addressing the questions asked in the scoring guide, cite evidence from your article as support for your statements. For example, when addressing the question “Were data qualitative or quantitative?” a simple statement that the data were quantitative is not sufficient to receive the score point. How do you know the data were quantitative? What evidence from the article lets you know the data were quantitative? Reference specific sections, tables, paragraphs, etc., from the article as support for your statement. (It is possible to answer each question in the scoring guide within one or two well-constructed sentences. Each subsection in part Can be answered within one or two paragraphs.)
How to write an abstract in APA format
Begin a new page. An abstract page should include a page header. On the first line of the abstract page, center the word “Abstract” (no bold, formatting, italics, underlining, or quotation marks).
Beginning with the next line, write a concise summary of the key points of the research done. Do not indent. The abstract should contain at least the research topic, questions, participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. Possible implications of the research and future work that could be connected with the findings can also be included
