Evaluation of the Study

Part II: Evaluation of the Study

An evaluation of each study should answer questions such as: What parts of the study seemed to be particularly well done/effective, and what parts might have benefited from a different approach or additional information? Were the results significant, and do their conclusions seem appropriate?

Part III: Evaluation of the Article

The evaluation of each article itself should answer questions such as: Was there sufficient information about the subjects, the research, the experiment, etc.? Was it well written or were there parts that were

confusing? Did the authors conclusions and suggestions for future research make sense?

Part IV: Conclusion

The conclusion for each article should answer questions such as: What did you learn from reading this article? How would the information in this study help a teacher or other professional work with the families of children with disabilities? How could the information be used to help you work with English Language Learners who also have disabilities and their families? How would you improve or extend this research?
