Instructions: Students have been guided in the individual aspect of developing a mock
research inquiry on a topic of interest. This final assignment aims to create an annotated
bibliography on a topic related to a domestic or international human diversity-related
issue on the macro level. This activity will allow students to explore issues about human
behavior and diversity issues as a starting point in developing a research inquiry for the
near future.
Students will choose at least five peer-reviewed research studies (journal articles) related
to your topic of interest on human diversity from a domestic or international (macro)
environmental perspective. Articles must be recent (within the last five years) and
relevant to an area of interest. The article selected must use a qualitative research method
or a combination of qualitative and quantitative research.
For each article selected, students will create an annotated bibliography using the
questions below as a guide for their annotations. See APA Manual (7th Edition) page 61-
67 for sample student paper for proper APA formatting.
1. What is the specific human diversity practice issue of consideration covered in the
selected articles? (5 pts.)
2. Identify the research question regarding diversity as applied in this article using
supporting statements. (5 pts.)
3. Identify and define the population that is the subject of this research article and
why you believe this is an important human diversity issue in social work
practice. (5 pts)
4. What were the research findings of the study and their implications for social
work practice for you as a student? What is your interest in this research topic as a
social work student? (10 pts)
