The Introduction, Thesis Statement, and Annotated Bibliography Assignment
I chose to consider researching on adult literacy as well as funding for general and STEM programs for my essay.
I chose the two topics because they are concerned with the same thing, Education. As an individual who enjoys learning, I would like to reduce the level of illiteracy in the country. Students should be encouraged to learn things that they have a passion for, and this can be promoted through the STEM programs. I narrowed down to the STEM program because it can be used in our public school systems as well as in adult education.
To analyze sources to determine if they are credible and scholarly, I first look at the year a publication was done and if it has been reviewed by anybody. Google scholar is also a reliable site where all the peer-reviewed scholarly articles, publications, and books can be found. Web pages that end with “org” or “net” usually provide credible information as opposed to those that end with “com” as they may be biased. I would also use the C.R.A.A.P method or just read through the entire information and determine if it is credible. If you chose to use Ashford Library, it can help you determine if it was a peer-review by making that selection when choosing a topic or subject in the library of Ashford University as well.
From the Ashford Library, the first article I came about is Basic Reading Skills and the Literacy of America’s Least Literate Adults written by White, Sabatini, and Kutner. This article is credible as it uses literacy tests to people who are sixteen years and older and explains its findings in detail (Baer et al., 2009). Also the article, How Minority becomes Majority: exploring discursive and rationalized shifts in the adult literacy conversation explains how lives can change if people decided to go back to school (Ntiri, 2013).
Scholarly articles should be used as support material because they provide information that is based on facts and researchers and case studies mostly back them. This ensures that the information provided can be trusted as the authors are named.
