Project description
Kindly, within 6000 word limit I want to critique three research articles; one Qualitative, one Quantitative and one Mixed methods. You find attached articles and the learning outcomes that must be met. Additionally, you will find guidelines for helping you to meet these learning outcomes. Moreover, you will find in the attachment a copy of a previous work for the same module from a previous student. It will help you to structure your writing. it is just an example. Later, I will try to add some instruction that I will get from my tutor. So,Please, let me have the outlines for your writing as soon as possible to discuss it with my tutors in order to maintain their requirements. – – – – –
The main focus must be on those three articles, not on the topic of simulation only. So, you will critique each article separately just like the attached example. Then you will make a comparison between them in term of the quality of methods, process and result. At the end you will make a discussion about articles finding. I know that you are going to read the articles deeply ——-
This is a critical appraisal, so you must use critical appraisal framework to guide your critique. You find attached framework, it is Hek and Moule (2006). You need to answer its questions according to Research books criteria. For example, when you critique the title you may say” despite that the title is short, it remains informative” (XX, 2009). You need to reference each point in your critique. I assumed that you need to use many of research books.

Critical Appraisal Framework
Purpose of the study
0 Is the knowledge sought readily available?
Is there and important reason for the research to be undertaken?
Are the potential outcomes of the study realistic?
I Was the researcher(s) appropriately qualified/supported to undertake the
research?
Are there any concerns about any funders of the research in relation to the
process of the research described?
Research problem and research questions
Is the problem significant and researchable and have all potential ways of
solving the problem been considered?
0 Are all research questions and hypotheses developed directly from the
problem?
Did the research place unethical or unrealistic demands on participants?
Literature search
0 Was there are search of good range of literature?
0 Was there a Search strategy with named databases and key search terms?
0 Was the review balanced and not biased?
0 Was the literature critically appraised?
0 Was any conflicting evidence clearly presented?
0 Did the literature review provide rationale and direction for the research?
0 Were any limitations of the literature identified?
Sample selection
0 Was an appropriate sampling strategy used?
0 If a random sample was select4d, was it genuinely random?
0 Were any biases in the sample group identified?
0 Was the target population identified in a quantitative study?
0 Was there a clear account of how participants were recruited and selected to
take part in the study?
0 Was there any coercion in recruiting participants?
0 Was there clear evidence that participants gave informed consent?
0 If the participants were vulnerable, has this been clearly considered in the
study?
I Was the research reviewed by a Research Ethics Committee?
0 Were any governance issues dealt with appropriately?
Were all the participants accounted for throughout the study, i.e. did the
numbers add up?
