Download or read book How To Read And Critique A Scientific Research Article Notes To Guide Students Reading Primary Literature With Teaching Tips For Faculty Members written by Foong May Yeong and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the explosion of information and knowledge in the field of Life Sciences, adapting primary literature as materials in course work as part of active learning seems to be more effective in improving scientific literacy among science undergraduates than the pure transmission of content knowledge using traditional textbooks. In addition, students also read research articles as part of undertaking laboratory research projects useful for preparing them for graduate school. As such, a good grasp of reading and analytical skills is needed for students to understand how their research project contributes to the field that they are working in. Such skills are being taught at UK and USA universities. In Asia, this approach in teaching has not yet been as widespread, although similar ideas are beginning to be used in education. Written as a quick guide for undergraduate students and faculty members dealing with scientific research articles as part of a module or research project, this book will be useful, especially in Asia, for students and faculty members as the universities look to incorporating the use of scientific research articles in their undergraduate teaching.For Life Science students, the first time they encounter a primary literature can be rather daunting, though with proper guidance, they can overcome the initial difficulties and become confident in dealing with scientific articles.This guidebook provides a structured approach to reading a research article, guiding the reader step-by-step through each section, with tips on how to look out for key points and how to evaluate each section.Overall, by helping undergraduate students to overcome their anxieties in reading scientific literature, the book will enable the students to appreciate better the process of scientific investigations and how knowledge is derived in science.

This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journal articles form the bedrock of social science, but they can be unfamiliar and intimidating to students. This brief, introductory guide helps readers appreciate the rigor and pitfalls of research by comparing it to more ordinary ways of knowing. Each chapter focuses on a key aspect of articles, demystifying step-by-step the complexities of social research. Harris encourages readers to avoid naivete (accepting research findings as simple Truth) and cynicism (dismissing research as hopelessly flawed), and instead adopt a critical perspective that appreciates the strengths and weaknesses of any piece of scholarship. A new chapter on research design explores how scientists choose a broad approach to study a topic, which impacts subsequent research decisions. Exercises throughout allow readers to practice the highlighted techniques in class discussion, short assignments, or a major writing project. Comprehensive yet succinct and accessible, the second edition of How to Critique Journal Articles in the Social Sciences equips students with the confidence to read and understand social research for use in their education, careers, and personal lives.
