Even this module has a bibliography—you will find it right at the end, giving you a good idea about writing and formatting a bibliography. Study the following examples thoroughly, and apply them (where applicable) to present your references (minimum of five): • Entries in the bibliography should appear in alphabetical order. "Cronbach, LJ. 1980." should appear before "Cronbach, LJ & Furby, L. 1970". "MacPherson" should precede "McArthur". • Source references to articles should be given by first citing the names of all the authors, followed by the year, the title of the article, the unabbreviated title of the journal, the volume and issue number, and the applicable pages. For example: Johnson, DW & Johnson, RT. 1993. Gifted students illustrate what is not cooperative learning. Educational Leadership, 50(5):60–61. In book references the surnames and initials of all the authors should be given, followed by the year of publication, the title, the edition (if there is more than one edition), the place of publication, and the publisher. For example: McMillan, JH & Schumacher, S. 2010. Education research: evidence-based inquiry. (7th edition.) Boston: Pearson. (5) TOTAL:100
