his week, you will submit the annotation of two qualitative research
articles on a topic of your interest. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded
theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research
designs or approaches used in qualitative research.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three
respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three
components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an
annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on,
the source topic. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated
bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources
accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation
for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a
background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a
particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in
preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a
dissertation.
