Reflection:
In ITEC 7470, five article analysis' were completed to demonstrate the ability to use a variety of research techniques and decide the quality of different articles based a multitude of factors. These article reviews demonstrate the continuous learning element because they show that I know how to conduct research, which allows me to gain new knowledge and be able to apply them to my beliefs and theories on education.
Through the completion of these artifacts, I learned how to analyze academic articles to make sure the results from the article was conducted in an appropriate manner so I could then make the educated decision to trust the results and apply them to my perceptive or decide the article lacks merit due to the testing parameters. If I could change these artifacts, I would add to the implications sections. The articles all had a variety of implications that can apply to a variety of educational settings, but the implications I originally drew did not cover all the implications possible. These article reviews can impact faculty development because they show teachers best practices and provide them ideas on how to improve their classroom environments in a variety of ways. The impact can be assessed by talking with the teachers who read the article reviews to find out if they made any changes to their educational practices.
