For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page document following the directions given below.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate 6 peer-reviewed articles that could be used for the literature review portion of the research proposal.  The articles should fall into the following categories:

• 2 quantitative studies
• 2 qualitative studies
• 1 mixed-methods study
• 1 theoretical or research design of your choice

For each article, cover the following points in 250–350 words:

• The problem to be studied
• The rationale for the study
• The type of research that was conducted (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods)
• The data collection strategy
• The data analysis tools that were used
• A summary of the findings
• A statement of how this article will support your proposed study

Present your work in a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document that follows the following format:

• Reference the source in APA format.
• Follow the reference with a single block paragraph of 250–350 words comprising your annotation (summary, evaluation, and reflection).
• The whole block should be double-spaced and indented.
• Repeat for the next article—don’t forget that your articles should be listed in alphabetical order just as you would on a standard APA reference page.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
