ASSIGNMENT 2: ARTICLE CRITIQUE 2

Assignment 2: Article Critique

The purpose of this paper is to critique the methodology used by the authors in a paper.

The selected paper for critiquing is entitled “Exploring Variation in Student Academic

Performance: Can Achievement in an Immersive Case Study Project Predict Exam Score in an

Introductory Accounting Course?” The paper looks to determine if student achievement in the

classroom affects academic performance. The paper uses repeated measures ANOVA

methodology in the analysis of the data collected. This makes it suitable for critiquing for this

assignment.

From the article, the authors, Lyman and Olvido (2020), do not explicitly explain why

they chose to use repeated measures ANOVA for this study. However, from the knowledge of

repeated measures ANOVA, one can easily understand why Lyman and Olvido (2020) used this

method. According to Salkind (2010), it is appropriate to repeated measures ANOVA in

experiments that require measuring the dependent variable(s) of the same subject or object

several times. The measurement of the variables is taken at different time periods under different

conditions. For this case, the authors studied "whether student achievement in an immersive

classroom case study might affect subsequent academic performance” (Lyman & Olvido, 2020).

The dependent variable was the exam, measured multiple times in various terms (summer, fall,

and spring academic terms).

In terms of appropriateness, I believe that using repeated measures, ANOVA was the

most appropriate choice for the authors. As indicated in the article, the authors show that they

studied one of the dependent variables (exam) under different conditions over time. The authors

applied the following repeated measures of the ANOVA model.
