Is it ok in APA style when writing the table label to include the chapter number as well? For example, Table 2.1 where 2 stands for chapter 2.
I need this for my MA thesis. I am in the field of linguistics if that helps (particularly teaching a foreign language).
This is an example from the list of tables:
Table 3.1: Participants’ gender. 21
Table 3.2: Participants’ age. 22
Table 3.3: Participants’ L1. 22
Table 4.1: Reading comics and motivation to read more in Arabic. 37
Table 4.2: Anxiety when reading comics vs. other text forms. 38
Table 4.3: Reading comics and fear of reading in Arabic. 39
Thank you so much!
I did not use any indicator of the chapter in my Tables headings. For example:
LIST OF TABLES
TABLES
Table 1 Overall Plan of the Project Work…………………………………………...55
Table 2 Trustworthiness of the Study….……………………………………………63
Table 3 Sample Sentences with Collocations from Log Files………………………
Look at my attachment please.
The APA style manual does not address this, simply saying "Number all tables and figures with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are first
mentioned in text..."
So this may be a question for your adviser about the expectations of your school.
In my own dissertation, 15 years ago, I did NOT include chapter numbers as part of figure and table numbering.
