The paper observes that many postgraduate students worldwide face numerous challenges when creating their dissertations. The challenges include a failure to formulate the research problem, craft a concise topic, structure the dissertations, professionally present the collected data, to name a few. To address these problems, the paper examined how critiquing and replicating research articles by university students could be useful instructional methods for teaching research skills. The study used document analysis and observations to examine how this method could enhance students’ understanding of the research process. The importance of this research is that it reveals how published, reputable research articles can be useful teaching aids in the teaching of research methods courses. The study suggests guiding questions that should assist students to critique research articles. |
