presentation. You will note that the presentation provides an introduction to
inductive and deductive reasoning. Dr. William Trochim explains further the
differences between Deduction and Induction in
the Web Center for Social Research Methods (Trochim, 2006). Choose a journal
article on a topic in your field or a topic about which you are interested.
Then, write a one-page critique of this article. UAGC’s Writing an Article Critique describes the
process of critiquing an article and provides an example (UAGC, n.d.). You
should summarize briefly your author’s thesis and how he attempts to prove his
thesis. You should analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s study
methods as well as his presentation of his results. (To do this, be sure to
analyze the mechanics of the author’s study. What method did the author use to
test his hypothesis? Were there any flaws in this method? For example, did he
utilize a representative sample that was large enough that the results of the
study could be generalized to the population?) Within your critique, explain
whether the author of your article answers his questions using inductive or
deductive reasoning and provide a brief one-sentence explanation of why this is
inductive or deductive reasoning.
