27

LiteratureReview ReadGuidelinesintheAssessmentsfolder (iLearn) • Read the LiteratureReviewTaskQuestionand Guidelines carefully before the first tutorial ReadtheUnitOutlinefor • Late penalties o All extensions through ask.mq.edu.au

─ NeedtoemailapprovalstoSeniorTutor([email protected])

• Word length – 1500 words • Academic Honesty – Turnitin o Submit by topic 28

LiteratureReview WhydoaLiteratureReview? Anindependentresearchtask– the first step before undertaking research • What is known already? • How convincing is the evidence? • Appropriate sources in context of information overload • What are the gaps? Learningtothinkandwritelikeapsychologist/researcher • Core competency for graduates • Think developmentally, not short-term, course by course • 1st step in Honours or MRes research 29

LiteratureReview • Read the assessment rubric carefully • See the assessments folder on iLearn page

• Choose your topic and start research early – “hunting and gathering” phase • There is too much information – when you start feeling swamped – organise/limit/integrate - start processingthematerial • Be selective – you only have 1500 words o May need to limit scope – explain scope in intro o Be careful to use reliable academic sources • ExampleLiteratureReviewsareavailableoniLearn; and we will go through steps for an example question on the next few slides 30

LiteratureReview EXAMPLEQUESTION You are asked to prepare a critical analysis of developmental outcomes for children after inter-country adoption compared with domestic adoption. In your review: 1) Outline the theoretical explanations that have been proposed as to whychildrenadoptedfromothercountriesmay or may not be moreatriskforpoordevelopmentaloutcomes; 2)Criticallyevaluate the research comparing outcomes – comment on study designs, confounding variables, study strengths and limitations 31

LiteratureReview THEPROCESS • Identify the keywordsin the question • Collect your “data” – peer-reviewed academic papers – read carefully • Managingyour“data”- create “folders” – group/categorise; exclude those that are not relevant - ? Make a table • Intellectualwork: Read, annotate, think, sort, re-sort (metabolise) • Identify your argument o How does this paper fit with the theory part of the question? o How is this study similar to/different from others? o What conclusions can you draw from this study in relation to the specific questions? o Can you use examples to illustrate your points? 32

LiteratureReview HOWDOICRITIQUEESTABLISHEDRESEARCHERS? • It is important to demonstrate “critical thinking” • When you read research, note that the authors will critique other research in their introduction & their own research in their discussion o Hint: look for the word ‘limitations’ in the Discussion; and the word ‘strengths’. Often there is a paragraph on each. 33

LiteratureReview HOWDOICRITIQUEESTABLISHEDRESEARCHERS? • Be discerning,balanced,respectful ‐ Avoid negative, nit-picking and sweeping statements Butalso • Be skeptical –don’t take things at face value – ”Researchshowsthat“ o Which research? o How consistent? o How recent? o Evidence to the contrary? • Questionassumptionsand whether conclusions follow logically from evidence • Considermethodologicalissues–samples, generalisability, ecological validity, study design, measures 34

LiteratureReview

ANALYSIS/SYNTHESIS:Thecooking Once you have the ingredients, it’s how you put them together….. The importance of integratingandorganising the “data” you collect – you need to do more than collect and report to score a high mark e.g., group the studies ? (say) age of children ? longitudinal vs. cross-sectional ? studies that support a particular proposition vs. those that don’t…… ? studies that use a particular approach to measurement ? Studies that focus on x or y as the outcome

35

LiteratureReview

Dos

Don’ts

Use paragraphs to structure your argument

Use the first person “I” “My”

Use segue/link sentences between paragraphs

Ignore spelling and grammar checks

Use simple language

Use jargon, overly long sentences

Use active voice

Use contractions and acronyms

Engage in ”cautious”/”tentative” language – e.g., “suggests” rather than “proves”

Use too many adjectives and adverbs e.g., “dramatically” , “urgently”

Research Has the student found relevant, peer-reviewed literature from reputable academic journals and relevant books, and selected the most pertinent material in order to address the specific questions?

Evidence of wide reading; balanced report of research from most relevant studies; recent research is included as well as reviews and meta-analyses when appropriate.

Reasonable selection of relevant studies. May fail to report most recent research or may report some research that is not directly relevant.

Limited research and reading around the topic; inappropriate source material cited e.g., opinions, nonpeer reviewed material, material that is not directly relevant.
