Part II (50 marks)
- (a) Formulate an initial literature search. Your search terms chosen should align with your research questions. Describe and explain your decision-making process in terms of the search terms chosen, search engines used, search strategies adopted, and potential literature sources found. (8 marks)
- (b) Examine and discuss how you would use your initial search results to refine your project’s research questions. You are to show SIX (6) records of references selected from your literature search diary using the literature search record template (MacNaughton & Hughes, 2009) shown below.
|
Search term(s) used |
Location of work (name of database, e.g., ERIC, EBSCO, ProQuest) |
Author, title, year, etc. (Use APA 7th ed. referencing style) |
My summary in point form (e.g., theory, methods, participants, ethics, findings) |
My question(s) and connections to other works (similar, different) |
(c) Review the 12 selected references from your literature search after refining the first draft of your research questions. These 12 selected references that may include the 6 records in Part II-b, should be the most relevant to your teacher research project. Present the bibliographical data and a succinct write-up of each of these 12 selected articles in a separate appendix.
(d) Draft a brief literature review (not more than 500 words) with relevant key themes, clear argument and succinct writing that will support your research project to answer the research questions.
