Description
This annotated bibliography will consist of an introduction, followed by two quantitative article annotations, two qualitative article annotations, and two mixed methods article annotations for a total of six annotations, followed by a conclusion. Submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation. Each annotation consists of a summary, analysis, and application for the purpose of conveying the relevance and value of the selected source. As such, annotations demonstrate a writer’s critical thinking about and authority on the topic represented in the sources.
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 precursor for gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review.
- For quantitative research articles, confirm that a quantitative research design, such as a quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study.
- For qualitative research articles, confirm that a qualitative research design or approach, such as narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, or phenomenology, was used in the study.
- For mixed methods research articles, confirm that a mixed methods research (MMR) design was used in the study. There are several design classifications in MMR; some examples of MMR types or families of design are parallel, concurrent, sequential, multilevel, or fully integrated mixed methods design.
- A one-paragraph introduction that provides context for why you selected the six research articles you did: two quantitative, two qualitative, and two MMR.
- A reference list entry in APA Style for each of the six articles that follows proper formatting. Follow each reference list entry with a three-paragraph annotation that includes:
- An application as illustrated in this example
- An analysis
- A summary
- A one-paragraph conclusion that presents a synthesis of the six articles.

Teaching Methods: Annotated Bibliography
The use of literature in research is essential in informing researchers’ approach and
knowledge on a topic. My topic of interest is the different learning methods used in different
contexts to boost effectiveness in learning. As such, my selection of articles is based on a few
learning methods mainly the flipped classroom, group learning, and the use of technology. The
articles selected here reflect success in implementing nonconventional learning approaches and
hence are useful in informing my research on the same topic. The articles are grouped into
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research and annotations highlight their focus and
application.
1. Quantitative Studies
Ling, W. N., Bin Ghazali, M. I., & Raman, A. (2016). The effectiveness of student teamsachievement division (STAD) cooperative learning on mathematics achievement
among school students in Sarikei District, Sarawak. International Journal of
Advanced Research and Development, 1(3), 17-21.
This article sought to find the effectiveness of Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD)
learning strategy in mathematics in Malaysia. The researchers organized students into the
experimental group and a control group and conducted pre-test and post-test utilizing the STAD
learning strategy. The basis for this research was the effectiveness of collaborative techniques in
enhancing comprehension in mathematics. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that
STAD was more effective than conventional means of learning and hence the study encouraged
its adoption for mathematics education.
The research question and the overall relation of the research to existing knowledge are effective
in this study. The authors clearly outline the need for more innovation in mathematics education

hence the study. Moreover, the sample size of 35 students was sufficient for the results since it
modeled a typical classroom. However, a larger sample would need to be used if the results are
to be applied nationwide or even regionally. Also, the findings are reliable due to rigorous
research e...
