Articles need to be published within 10 year in peer-reviewed journals that relate to the topic.

Guidelines for Article Summary[1]



Author(s). (year). Title of article. Title of Journal, Volume (Number), pages.         

                                  

Research Problem/ Purpose

This is generally the statement(s) that lays the premise of a research article.
Sometimes, it could also be in form of the background of the study.
This will be the section in the article that explores why the research was conducted in the first place


Research Questions/ Hypothesis

This is the actual question/problem that the author(s) decide to explore in the article.
This is generally laid out in the form of questions.
Sometimes, you may need to infer the questions.
Hypothesis is rare in a research paper, but you might find that too.


Paradigm/Theoretical Perspective



This is a general framework that defines a “point of view” within a discipline. For example, if an article talks about how the context and environment affected the language and literacy development of a young child, most probably, the article was based on a “sociocultural framework.”
In very general terms, one can also understand this as the philosophy used by the author(s) to explore the phenomenon mentioned in the research question. Or, how you would use your philosophy to explain how a child learns a task.


Focus of Literature Review



Every article will have a review of the literature in the field. The purpose of this literature review is to find out what kind of research has already been done so that we do not just replicate existing studies (unless there is a need to explore the same issue using different parameters—settings/participants/methodology, etc.). 
Secondly, this review helps the author(s) identify what kind of work still needs to be done.
For this section, you will briefly summarize what the authors have reviewed. Use the heading in the review (if the authors use headings) as guidelines to identify the significant ideas.

In at least 3 paragraphs post, consider how the protagonists demonstrated or failed to demonstrate ONE of the following quotes from Margaret Wheatley.

Quote 1: "A system is created when individuals realize they have neighbors, and that they would do better to figure out how to live together than to try and destroy each another. Thus, systems form through collaboration, from a realization that you need another in order to maintain your life. The recognition that individuals need each other lies at the heart of every organizational system."

Quote 2: "Because the organization falls apart, that same system now is capable of reorganizing itself into a new mode of being. It is changing because it understands the world differently. It reorganizes itself from new interpretations, new meaning. It re-creates itself from new understandings of what's important. For change to occur there must be a change in meaning."
