Critical Skills Assignment 6
Critical Skills:
For this week’s critical skills assignment you will be learning how to create a research question and how to both find and evaluate the strength of scholarly articles. This week your outcomes will be
- Proficiency at searching for sources using the University of Mount Olive Moye Library website
- How to narrow a broad topic into a research question
- How to evaluate the strength of research using the PROVEN method of evaluation
This week you will be uploading a single word document which contains your research question and 3 individual copies of the PROVEN evaluation method worksheet from each of your 3 selected sources from the library.
Whether we read an article that mentions “Economic Recession” or “Global Warming”, we are introduced to new information everyday and need to be able to learn more about it and formulate questions to help us delve more deeply into a topic. Before beginning to search for sources for a research topic, you need to formulate your general topic as a research question, i.e. the question that you are trying to answer with your research. Since you probably know little about your topic at the beginning of your research, you may have difficulty formulating a research question. In that case you will benefit from doing some preliminary research to find more details about your topic in order to know how you want to narrow or focus your topic into a specific question.
Part 1: Formulating your research question:
Watch the video here for more information on how to perform a preliminary search and formulate a research question using our University of Mount Olive Moye Library Resources:
You will submit a word document with your specific research question. You will include 3 citations using APA formatting that will provide more detailed information to answer your specific research question. The research question is yours to develop! Do a preliminary search to find out more information to “hone” in on one research question you can get more specific information about.
Example of research topic to research question:
General research topic: Separation anxiety
Research question: How does a parent’s behavior and attitude affect the onset, intensity and duration of separation anxiety in a child?
General research topic: Hunting
Research question: How does wildlife management including hunting impact population levels of white tailed deer in North Carolina?
General research topic: Recession
Research question: Does the unemployment rate correlate with economic recession?

Parts 2,3, and 4: PROVEN evaluation method and worksheets
You will download and save the Critical Skills Assignment 6 TEMPLATE from the Moodle shell and will use the PROVEN method to evaluate the 3 sources that pertain to your research question. Each of your sources MUST be found using the Moye Library databases.
