Day 15 - APA

Recently, in class, I was given an exercise in which I was to write an action research report in formal writing using APA formatting, specifically text, charts, tables, numeration, citations. In completing the exercise, I created a document in APA format that summarized my findings. My document contains an introductory paragraph that includes a restatement of the research questions. Additionally, my document contains a paragraph that describes the sample in terms of gender disaggregation and introduces and explains chart one. Chart one, which follows the APA rules for Pie Charts, is a pie chart that displays the percentage of gender disaggregation. Within that same paragraph, a description of the mean scores by gender disaggregation is presented in correlation with table one, which follows the APA rules for tables, as it introduces the mean scores by gender disaggregation for both the pre-test and post-test.Within that same paragraph, my findings for research question one are presented as well. Moreover, my document contains a paragraph that describes the sample in terms of classification and introduces and explains chart two. Chart two, which follows the APA rules for Pie Charts, is a pie chart that displays the percentage of classification. Within that same paragraph, a description of the mean scores by classification is presented in correlation with table two, which follows the APA rules for tables, as it introduces the mean scores by classification for both the pre-test and post-test. Foremost, my document contains a cover page, as seen on the APA homepage, and reference page, as seen in the APA format for references.
