Week 3 Annotated Bibliography

As I was reading the literature for my questions, I found that my question has started to change and be more focused on the importance of having an in-depth classroom management plan. My first question was based on effective classroom management skills for energetic students. As I started to read the literature, I was not able to find evidence towards my question. When I narrowed my search to effective classroom management techniques, I found a lot of resources. These are a few articles I found. I will continue to read more articles and add them to my research. The first article was a guide on how to read research articles and what information to look for. This article helped me when I started reading the literature. I would not read articles unless it had an Abstract and Introduction. This guide was very helpful.

This article explains what to look for in a research study article. If these components; Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and References are not in the article, then it is not a research study article. It also explains how to read a research study article. Instead of reading page by page, first is to read the introduction, then the ending for the hypothesis and skim the discussion throughout the article. The last part suggests reading the whole article first page to last for deep comprehension understanding This article will be helpful.
