Reminders for Reviewing the Literature.
Hi--Just a reminder here to fill in the information we posted for you in the Literature Presentation for each lit review article you read. Please make sure that the majority of your articles are researched based. In other words, they will have a literature review in them, be peer reviewed, and present original research. If you use the site I gave you: http://www.ncte.org, most of the articles will meet this criteria.
You may use one or two books in your lit review, but we want the majority of your work to be articles.
It would be helpful if you would post on your blog:
I. Your inquiry question (Please have Janelle, Jeannine, or Joyce coach you and approve your final question.) If you need to e-mail me, you can e-mail me at jeanninehirtle@gmail.com or hirtle@hawaii.edu
2. Descriptor words you are searching to help you find articles to answer your questions.
3. 10-15 article analyses (using the format we worked on together in class)
Once you have this completed (and remember you are doing one to two articles a day for 7 days) then you are ready to move on to writing your literature review.
Reread your question.
Reread your articles analyses.
At the end of each article analysis, ask yourself, "What have I learned from this article that will inform me so that I can better understand my question so that I may design a research study?"
You should have a list of sentences that pull out emerging "themes" from the literature.
For example, if my question were "How might I better support children who have limited literacy in their homes?"
The articles I read might cover a range of issues surrounding this question. I pull out these issues and then write a justification for conducting the study that I want to conduct. I would support the arguments in my justification with points from the literature review. I would make sure these points were synthesized and cite the authors who provided the synthesis.
To get good models for these literature review, study the research articles you are reading. They have been peer-reviewed and will have excellent literature reviews.
If you would like to look at some of my articles for the lit reviews, please find them at http://www.aace.org.
Please make your literature review three to four pages or 750-1000 words.
Document with APA style. There are excellent directions and good models on this site: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
You must use internal documentation (not foot notes) and provide a reference list at the end of your literature review.
