Description
Journal Critiques: Assignment Guidelines
Purpose
- Reinforce training and development concepts, specifically various traditional and technology-enhanced training methods.
- Apply knowledge by reviewing journal articles related to specific course topics.
Prep
What you’ll need to complete this assignment:
- Identify 1-2 sources for relevant journal articles. (Reach out to your professor for assistance with this step.)
- Identify 3-4 topics related to training modality and the use of technology in training and development. (Remember the purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concepts in this course, specifically related to traditional and technology-enhanced training methods.)
Process & Product
- Leverage library resources to locate at least 3 articles published within the last 1-5 years. (Contact your professor for assistance with this step if you have any questions. Please also reach out to Library Services at your home campus for access to a database of journals/articles and any support needed with database access.)
- You will prepare 1 critique for each journal article reviewed. Each article must address the topic(s) of training modality and/or the use of technology in training and development. (The title of the article does not have to use any of these terms, nor do these topics have to be the exclusive focus of the article. However – the article must address training modality and/or technology in some capacity, and this should be explicit in your review.)
- Need a jumpstart? If you need help coming up with topics, it may be interesting to start with any emerging research and/or data related to the shift to remote training during the global pandemic. (Possible keywords: remote training, online training, virtual training + pandemic, covid, etc.) This is up to you! You are welcome to explore a wealth of topics as long as they address training modality and/or technology.
- You are to include the following content in each of your article critiques. (See also Critique Format below.)
