    This document provides a worksheet to guide the summarization of research articles. It outlines the key sections to examine, including the introduction for the problem and purpose, methods section for sample and procedure details, and results section for answering research questions and hypotheses. Two example summaries are given demonstrating how to concisely describe the important elements of quantitative studies, such as the sample, variables measured, and major findings. Questions are provided to systematically review articles and assess their relevance, explanations, and remaining issues.

    Worksheet for describing research

    When examining an article to develop a description, there are places in research studies to look for
    information. In well-crafted journal articles, the problem and purpose statements are..clearly stated
    in the introduction to the article. Information about the sample, population or participation is
    ..midway through the article in a method (or procedure) section, and the results are often reported
    toward the end of the article. In the results sections, look for passages in which the researchers
    report information to answer or address each research question or hypothesis. The following
    example(s) are paragraphs summarizing the major components of a quantitative study..much like the
    paragraph might appear in a ‘review of the literature’ section of a…journal article (Creswell, 2003,
    p. 42).

    1...surveyed 369 mgrs in 83 business units by using Spreitzer’s 12-item questionnaire for
    empowerment & Rusbult’s 6-items questionnaire for job satisfaction [and found].. a
    significant positive correlation [.72] between psychological empowerment and job
    satisfaction (UT Student Draft, Spring 2006 Semester).

    2….tested…a three-dimensional model clustering thirty-six academic areas into hard or soft,
    pure or applied, life or non-life areas as a predictor of chairpersons’ professional
    development needs. Eighty department chairpersons located in four state colleges and one
    university of a Midwestern state participated in the study. Results showed that chairpersons
    in different academic areas differed in terms of their professional development needs
    (Creswell, 2003, p. 42).

    Answer these questions as you read an article (Dunn, 1999, p. 129)


    1. What is the research question addressed by the article?
    2. What is/are the hypotheses?
    3. Describe the most important procedures used to test the hypotheses
    4. Clearly, and briefly summarize the major findings of the study.

    Answer these questions after you read an article


    A. Your Assessment
    What explanations does the author use to account for the findings of the study?
    Do you think that the author’s explanations are valid and reasonable? How do the
    explanations relate to the methods used to test the hypotheses?

    B. Integration
    How does this article fit into your project? Does it support or not support your project
    hypothesis? Does it support other research you are reviewing?

    C. Remaining Issues
    Are their important issues that this article does not address/resolve? How do these issues
    relate to your project?
