Please identify an EMPIRICAL article for a research article critique on some topic related to educational psychology. You can use the chapter topics for possible areas of educational psychology to consider.
You need to write a critique that follows APA formatting with a title page and a References page. The References page must have your article cited correctly in APA style. Do NOT rely on your word processing citation generator. It will probably be wrong.
PLEASE NOTE: You MUST upload a pdf or a link to your article to receive credit.
Without the article, you will receive NO credit for this assignment. There is no specific length for this assignment, but since you need a title page and a References page, you will have at least three pages.
You may write your critique in essay format or outline format as long as you address all parts of the assignment.
