This work will discuss a critical analysis of two articles that will be used within my research proposal. As requested, I will review two articles that will represent the following: Both articles require two distinct research disciplines of qualitative and quantitative methods; furthermore, the articles must represent two paradigmatic assumptions; the selected articles fall within quantitative and post-positivistic, qualitative and constructivist methods and paradigms; each article will be analyzed to review the Critical Analysis Methodology; Research questions; Using theory or other frameworks; Definitions, Limitations and Meaning; Methods and Procedures; Quality and Rigor; Researcher and positionality. The analysis will provide a combined analysis for both articles reviewed. Critical Analysis Methodology The first peer-reviewed journal article is titled “Race Is Not Neutral: A National Investigation of African American and Latino Disproportionation in School Discipline” (Skiba, Horner, Chung, Karenga-Rausch, May and Tobin, 2011). The purpose of the article speaks to the disproportionality of minority students being disciplined more frequently and with more severe sanctions. It has also been reported that a cultural mismatch leads to poor teacher judgment of minority students. As part of the investigation, it was confirmed that records and statistical analyzes reported that discipline was being applied at disproportionate levels. This article falls within the methods and paradigm of quantitative and post-positivistic research. The second peer-reviewed article is titled “Integrating Cultural Competence and Core Values: An International Service-Learning Model (Hayward & Charrette, 2012). The purpose of the article is to describe an innovative educational model...... half of the article ......onroy, S.A. (2003). A path for interpretive phenomenology.
