– According to Jones (1998), "Students often had
difficulty using APA style, especially when it was
their first time" (p. 199).
Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty
using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does
this have for teachers?
APA Format
– Jones's (1998) study found the following:
• Students often had difficulty using APA style,
especially when it was their first time citing sources.
This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many
students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask
their teacher for help. (p. 199)
APA Format
• Paraphrasing
– According to Jones (1998), APA style is a difficult
citation format for first-time learners.
– APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time
learners (Jones, 1998, p. 199).
