Learning Activity:
Select two of the articles provided in Module III on D2L and decide how would you explain to a
classmate your criteria for determining rigor / whether or not you consider the research
effective (and applicable to practice) or ineffective (and therefore less useful in guiding
practice)?
Authors
Effective / Ineffective
Rationale
If a qualitative article is chosen, rigor is
demonstrated in trustworthiness,
confirmability, transparency, transferability, etc.
If a quantitative article is chosen, rigor is
demonstrated by values for the reliability of
measurement tools, and various types of
validity of measurement tools.
