For this assignment, you are going to organize your summaries into your introduction and literature review.
There is one criterion in the Research Proposal Rubric along with the description in order to receive a 3: Exceeds Standards, it is:
1) Introduction: Problem, Significance, & Purpose of the Study
Presents a significant research problem related to education or topic with relevance to education. Articulates clear, reasonable research questions given the purpose, design, and methods of the proposed study. All constructs and variables have been appropriately defined. Propositions are clearly supported from the research and theoretical literature. All elements are mutually supportive.
There are two criterion in the Research Proposal Rubric along with the description in order to receive a 3: Exceeds Standards, they are:
1) Literature Review: Organization
Structure is intuitive and sufficiently inclusive of important constructs and variables of the proposed study.
2) Literature Review:
Narrative integrates critical and logical details from the peer-reviewed theoretical and research literature. Each key construct and variable is grounded to the literature. Attention is given to different perspectives, conditionalities, threats to validity, and opinion vs. evidence.
Outline for writing your small-scale literature review:
Introduction (15 points)
The introduction is used to establish the context of your review to the reader. Be sure to use the three areas (Problem, Significance, and Purpose of the Study)as subheadings in your Introduction. To establish the context, it is important to do the following in this opening paragraph:
Problem: Define the topic of your study and provide any background information that helps your reader to understand the topic.
Significance: Explain your reason (perspective) for reviewing the literature on this topic.
Purpose of the Study: Explain the purpose of your study, why it is important to you and end include your your research question(s) that will be addressed.
Body (20 points)
This section of your paper begins with an explanation of how you have organized your literature review and describes findings from articles that provide answers to your inquiry question. Before you begin this section, be sure that you have sorted your articles into different themes based on the articles’ findings (sometimes called results). After you sort your articles, it is important to give your sorted groups a descriptive name. The names of the sorted articles will become your headings for each of the paragraphs that you write in the body of your review. To write the body of your small-scale literature review, it is important to include the following:
Write an introduction paragraph for the body of your review. This paragraph tells the reader specific information on how many articles you reviewed and how you sorted the articles into common themes based on the findings (results).
This will be a paragraph that describes the first theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the second theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the third theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
Summary (10 points)
This is the last paragraph of your literature review. In this paragraph, it is important to summarize the main findings from the articles that you reviewed and to point out the information that you found particularly important to know that helps to answer the research question(s) that you established in the Purpose of the Study. Try to conclude your paper by connecting your research question back to the context of the general topic of study.
