Article Critique
The practice of quantitative research not only involves statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the understanding of statistical techniques related to real-world applications. You might not become a quantitative researcher nor use statistical methods in your profession but as a consumer, citizen, and scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you to become a critical consumer of research, which will empower you to read, interpret, and evaluate the strength of claims made in scholarly material and daily news.
For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to ANCOVA.
To prepare
- Review the Article Critique Assignment Guide in the Walden Library, listed in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
- Search the Walden Library for a quantitative article that applies ANCOVA.
BY DAY 7
The Assignment
Write a 3-4 page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the following prompts:
- Why did the authors select ANCOVA in the research?
- Do you think this test was the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
- Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
- Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?
- Use APA 7th Edition
Requirements: | .doc file | Discussion | 3 pages, Double spaced
Hi please use the public Walden database to find the article and use APA 7th edition. Attached is some info on ANCOVA if you need.

Answer preview
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is the statistical examination of the mean values’ differences for the dependent variables concerning the independent variable while considering the effects of uncontrolled variables. The uncontrolled variables are those variables that are present in research, but they are not being studied, but they nevertheless affect the variables under study. When there are no covariates in a study, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine the relationship between the variables under study. In the research at hand, the aim was to understand patient satisfaction for those suffering from heart failure and are in usual home healthcare while others were on telehealth. This discussion justifies why ANCOVA was used, the appropriateness of ANCOVA in the study, usage of tables, and interpretation of the tables.
