JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW of current research in an area of organizational trends in the education
ASSIGNMENT TWO (30 points):
JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW
The articles reviewed for this assignment must report the results of current research in an area
of organizational trends in the education or human services environment. The article must be
directed at a scholarly audience.
The review must be on an article reporting structured research, that is, one with variables,
statistical analyses, relationships among variables, etc. The article may be about
any organizational trend/topic you choose. The key to this assignment is to demonstrate your
analytical and research capabilities by specifically linking the procedures discussed in the article
to the concepts addressed in this course.
To ensure proper content and quality, a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journals must be included
in the analysis, and to the extent possible, a majority of your sources should be less than two
years old. Your paper will be 6 to 8 double-spaced pages 12 pt. font.
NSU Alvin Sherman Library
Through the library, you have access to hundreds of databases and each database
contains different types of information sources including scholarly journal articles, e-
books, dissertations, newspaper articles, streaming videos, and more. When researching
a topic, you should look for information in library databases. To get to the library
databases, start on the Alvin Sherman Library homepage, which is nova.edu/library/main.
On the homepage, you will see two buttons called “Databases by Name” and “Databases
by Subject.” If you don’t know a specific database to use, click on “Databases by Subject”
to find a category that best matches your topic. For example, if you were looking for
articles on standardized testing, you would want to select the category for “Education”
so you could view all of the library’s education-related databases.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are REQUIRED to access the ProQuest – Education Database to
search for academic/scholarly sources for this assignment. Sources from other
sites/databases CANNOT BE USED.
NOTE: Reference list should follow APA 7th edition format guidelines. Remember, every
assignment must include the FCE title page. See appendix.
