YOUR GUIDE

A Literature review provides an overview of what has been written about a specific topic. The review of literature includes practically all the information and data which are authoritative and relevant to the topic of the study as in the case of research and similar scholarly undertakings. The literature can cover a range of sources, namely:         

Journal articles Monographs Computerized databases Conference proceedings Theses and dissertations Empirical studies Government reports and reports from other bodies Historical records Statistical handbooks

Since there are varying sources from which you can deduce, base and derive literature review, here are some questions that can help lead you to your choice. 1. Have you clearly indicated the scope and purpose of the review? 2. Have you included a balanced coverage of what is available? 3. Have you included enough materials to show the development and limitations in this area? 4. Have you included the most recent and relevant studies? 5. Have you indicated the source of the literature by referencing accurately? 6. Have you used mostly primary sources or appropriate secondary sources?

Why do a Literature Review? Literature reviews may be great way to help you come up with enriching your research idea. There are also means of ensuring that your idea/s has not been researched on by someone else. Hence, there is a need to conduct a literature review. Dempster and Hannah (2016) provide some reasons why a review is done. These are the following: 

To indicate the research that has been conducted in the area before, to ensure that you’re not ‘reinventing the wheel’.





 

To demonstrate that you’re aware of important and recent studies in your study area. This way, you ensure that you haven’t missed an important study that makes your research idea seem less brilliant than you first imagined. To ensure that you havent missed literature detailing a novel way foryou to conduct your study is , or pointing you to a data-collection tool that is most appropriate for your study. To explain the theoritical background to your proposed research project. To demonstrate your ability to critically analyze the literature in your study area. This indicates that your research idea is based on a good understanding of previous research in the area, and it also demonstrates your ability to highlight the existing gap or any disagreements in the research areas that your study addresses.

Kinds of Literature Reviews After having answered the questions above and having known the reasons for doing a literature review, you should notes the kinds of literature review. These are the following: Traditional. Also referred to as narrative literature review, it provides a quick overview of current studies. It helps explain why your study is important in the context of the literature, and can also help you identify areas that need further research. Whittemore

swer a g rigorous,

e current m areas

1. Materials must be as recent as possible. This is important because of the changes that are going on. Sources to be looked into must give information that are attuned to the time frame indicated in the study. 2. Materials must be as objective and as unbiased as possible. Avoid data and materials which are extremely one-sided.

3. Materials must be relevant to the study. Whatever kind of materials is needed to explain or support the study must have a bearing on the topic. 4. Materials must not be too few but nor too many. Use your discretion on how much or many to include but there should be enough materials included for the researcher to be able to offer insights on the study. The availability of materials will also be a determining factor.

Types of Sources The other element in selecting relevant materials for the literature review is the types of sources with which you have to be familiar with. Searching for information related to the research being undertaken needs time to and much thought. The sources can be classified into the following: 1. Primary Sources- publications in which researchers report the results of their studies. Findings are communicated by the authors directly to the readers. Most materials that fall under this type are journals which are usually published monthly, quarterly or bi-annually. Each article deals with a particular research or study. 2. Secondary Sources- publications in which authors describe the work of others ( Fraenkel & Wallen ,2008). Textbook is a familiar example of this type. This is also used for different courses offered in the curriculum. Other examples used are encyclopedias, research reviews and yearbooks. Using Computer for Literature With the easy accessibility to the use of computers, they have become one of the rich sources for writing a review of literature. They are available in school libraries and most public libraries. Various online computer terminals are linked to one or more retrieval systems that draw from a number of databases. A most commonly used database is Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). Information that can be located are from data that date back to 1966. Printouts can be obtained from the search engine for the desired references. A vast reservoir of information on all sorts of topics is the World Wide Web (WWW) which is part of the internet. You can locate information on various topics with just a few clicks of the mouse button. A literature review will try to look for as much material as possible of this existing research. It will review major scholarly books in the relevant area, but will also take a keen interest in journal articles, which in many subjects give more up-to date material. Preparing a literature review thus involves: 

Searching for reliable, accurate and up-to date material on the topic or subject 5

    

Reading and summarizing the key points from this literature. Synthesizing these key ideas, theories and concepts into a summary of what is known Discussing and evaluating these ideas, theories and concepts Identifying particular areas of debate or controversy Preparing the ground for the application of these ideas to new research
