Critical Analysis of Research Paper

The selected paper must have published in a research journal (search through
Google Scholar: www.scholar.google.com and must have been conducted not
earlier than 2015. It must be relevant to STEM. Presenters must obtain the full
paper of the research report, provide an electronic copy to all members of the

presentation.

The discussion must include the following key components: (a) background of
the study (or introduction); (b) methodology; (c) results and discussion; and (d)
conclusions and recommendations. To aid critical analysis, presenters must be
able to discuss answers to the following guide questions:
1. What makes the study interesting? What aspect of the research made you
decide to present it to the class?
2. Was the research design used appropriately based on the purpose and
concept of the study? If not, what research design could have served the
purpose better?
3. What research opportunities does the study present (aside from those
which may have been recommended by the researchers)?

The presenters are also required to submit a paper containing their answers to
these questions before they start the discussion.
The presentation must not exceed 10 minutes including time for the reporters to
accept questions from the rest of the class.
