For this question, you will develop an Annotated Bibliography with the six peer-reviewed research studies that address a problem of practice in your organization or profession. These six articles will include two quantitative studies, two qualitative studies, and two action research studies. For each study you will summarize the main findings and evaluate the quality, strengths, biases, and limitations of each studys components. Your Annotated Bibliography will conclude with two sections: (a) methodological comparison in which you compare your two quantitative studies and two qualitative studies to your two action research studies for striking methodological similarities and differences, and (b) a practical applications section in which you describe what you learned from the six studies that can be applied to action research study proposal.
Area of Interest: Instructors are to find it a challenge to effectively engage students in the online sessions

[Important Writing Instructions]
[This assignment needs be written in the third person voice. Do not write in the first-person voice (I . . .). There should be none of you and your voice in this assignment or the course project. Do not use awkward language such as
The researcher . . . or
The learner when referring to yourself. Do not refer to yourself. Do not write in the second person voice (writing that uses or implies the language
you or
your).]
[Always present studies and other literature with past tense verbs (APA 7th ed. section 4.12 pp. 117-118); for example: Smith (2020) conducted . . . Scholarly writing is meant to be read and interpreted literally. Therefore, please avoid slang, colloquialisms, anthropomorphisms, and conversational writing (refer to APA 7th ed. pp. 113-125). Instead, be clear, precise, and accurate in your writing.]
[At the doctoral level, most of your writing should involve summarizing or paraphrasing the literature. However, for an assignment like this one in which you are asked for the research questions, you can use direct quotes but use them sparingly. For direct quotes with fewer than 40 words, put quotation marks around the quoted text and include within the in-text citation, the authors name, year, and page or para. number from which the quote came. For direct quotes with 40 or more words, put in block format (See APA 7th ed. pp. 272-273 for guidance and examples) and include within the in-text citation, the authors name, year, and page or para. number from which the quote came.]
[Do not write with bullet points. Instead write in complete sentences developed within coherent paragraphs. Write clearly and concisely. Use transitional language to smoothly move the flow of the thought along throughout.]
[Apply APA formatting rules and adhere to APA writing style guidelines.
Here are two important self-assessment final steps to help ensure you do as well as you can with the assignment: When you complete your draft, read it aloud to yourself. This step can catch typos, grammar errors, awkward writing, etc. For a final step self-assess your assignment by reviewing the corresponding scoring guide and compare the profic
