We have chosen an evergreen journal article for the group presentation of literature review. The article is entitled "Classroom Social Climate and Student Absences and Grades" by Rudolf H. Moos and Bernice S. Moos. This article was surfaced when we did our research on Rudolf Moos.
What I notice about this article, which was published in 1978, is that it doesn't make use of many types of statistical analysis but focuses mainly on correlation. In comparison with the other group presentations, the recent journal articles tend to use various types of statistical anyalysis to support the study. This also surfaces the point that over the years, more types of statistical analyses have been developed to enable researchers to conduct more in-depth study of their research questions.
Though the article is old, there is value in studying it as it is linked to Moos' development of the Classroom Environment Scale (CES) which gave rise to the development of other related tools and studies. In fact, in many research articles on classroom environment, there is often some links to Moos' studies on CES.
The preparation of the literature review and participation in my classmates' presentations have also led me to understand the flow in research articles, particularly in the area of statistical interpretation and implications of the studies. The hands-on and discussion with group members help a lot!
