9. The literature review is a critical look at the
existing research that is significant to the
work that you are carrying out.
10. A critical analysis of existing research in
your field;
it highlights both the strengths and
weaknesses of existing research
Allows you to gain a critical understanding
of your field
11. Opportunity to think about what has been done in
your field; opportunity to think about the
similarities, patterns, trends and also differences
across the existing research
By identifying strengths and weakness, you will
be able to think about what has not/needs to be
done in your field
The gap in the literature is your justification for
your research
12. - Literature review as an outcome: appears
in the final draft of your thesis as part of your
introduction or as a separate chapter.
- Literature review as a process: critical
engagement ( thinking, reading, and writing)
with relevant research on your topic. It is a
crucial and formative stage of your thesis
journey.
13. LITERATURE REVIEW can help you:
•Focus on your research question
•Develop your research methodology and data
collection procedures
•Identify a conceptual framework for your
research
•Identify gaps in previous studies
•Identify flawed methodologies or theoretical
approaches
•Identify controversies in the research literature
•Provide a check for testing your findings and
conclusions
•Help you make meaning out of your findings.
14. 1. provide background information

research
18. a. Focus
-Sort and categorize information
-Eliminate irrelevant information
b. Type
- -Theory, methodology, policy,
qualitative, quantitative
c. Scope
d. Academic Discipline
23. Start with an overview
Decide on organizing principles (themes,
trends, methodology, chronology,
controversies – usually a combination of
some of these)
Use headings for the different sections of the
review
Provide summative signposts of where your
argument is leading
Summarize your review/highlight ‘gap’ in
24. Tips for clear writing:
Clear introduction: overview of topic, aim of
review and structure
Clear paragraph structure
Make sure the subject of your sentence is clear
Don’t assume knowledge
Make sure key terminology and difficult ideas are
always explained thoroughly (ask your yourself:
does it make sense?)

4. Help readers contact the sources of ideas
easily
5. Permit readers to check the accuracy of work
6. Save researchers from plagiarism
28. 1. Integral: The author’s name appears in the
sentence.
Example (author-date system): Lillis (2001) argues
that both tutors and students often lack explicit
knowledge of the conventions governing the
construction of academic texts.
2. Non-integral: The author’s name appears outside
sentence.
Example: Both tutors and students often lack explicit
knowledge of the conventions governing the
construction of academic texts (Lillis, 2001).
29. If it’s not your own idea (and not common
knowledge)—DOCUMENT IT!
- Paraphrase key ideas.
- Use quotations sparingly.
- Introduce quotations effectively.
- Use proper in-text citation to document the
source of ideas.
- Maintain accurate bibliographic records
30. Citing Sources: Things to
Avoid
- Plagiarism
- Irrelevant quotations.
- Un-introduced quotations.
31. - A criminal act of stealing
intellectual property subject for
penalty or imprisonment.
- To steal or purloin from the
writings of others
- To appropriate without due
acknowledgement of the author.
32. American Psychological Association (APA)
uses the author-date method of citation. The
last name of the author and the date of
publication are inserted in the text in the
appropriate place.
When referencing or summarizing a source,
provide the author and year. When quoting or
summarizing a particular passage, include
the specific page or paragraph number, as
well.
CITATIONS IN THE TEXT
33. One work by one author:
In one developmental study (Smith, 1990),
children learned... OR
In the study by Smith (1990), primary
school children... OR
In 1990, Smith’s study of primary school
children…
34. Works by multiple authors
First citation: Masserton, Slonowski, and
Slowinski (1989) state that...
Subsequent citations: Masserton et al.
(1989) state that...
For 6 or more authors, cite only the name
of the first author followed by et al. and the
year.
35. When a resource has no named author, cite
the first few words of the reference entry
(usually the title). Use double quotation marks
around the title of an article, chapter, or Web
page. Italicize the title of a periodical, book,
brochure, or report.
For example:
- The site seemed to indicate support for
homeopathic drugs (“Medical Miracles,” 2009).
The brochure argues for homeschooling
(Education Reform, 2007).
Works by no identified author:
36. Two or more works in the same
parenthetical citation:
Citations of two or more works in the same
parentheses should be listed in the order
they appear in the reference list (i.e.,
alphabetically, then chronologically).
Several studies (Jones & Powell, 1993;
Peterson, 1995, 1998; Smith, 1990)
suggest that...
37. Specific parts of a source
Always give the page number for quotations or
to indicate information from a specific table,
chart, chapter, graph, or page. The word page
is abbreviated but not chapter.
For example:
The painting was assumed to be by Matisse
(Powell, 1989, Chapter 6), but later analysis
showed it to be a forgery (Murphy, 1999, p.
85).
38. If, as in the instance of online material, the
source has neither visible paragraph nor
page numbers, cite the heading and the
number of the paragraph following it. This
allows the reader to locate the text in the
source.
For example:
The patient wrote that she was
unimpressed by the doctor’s bedside
manner (Smith, 2006, Hospital Experiences
section, para. 2)

46. Thesis Statement: Service-learning programs implemented in American
undergraduate universities since 2000 have not only proven beneficial for the
individuals or organizations being served but also for the participating students by
offering opportunities for academic, emotional, and social growth.
Prior studies have identified many benefits
for educational institutions from service-learning
programs. These benefits include positive perceptions
of the university by the community (Miron & Moely,
2006), enhanced student retention rates (Eyler et
al., 2001), positive teaching and learning outcomes
such as greater student involvement and
participation in class (Caruso et al., 2007), and
increased opportunities for meaningful research
and scholarly activities (Strand et al., 2003).
Summary
of key
research
47. In this study and related research, the
individuals serving are university students who are
collaborating with the community partner. The
studied benefits to individuals serving include
cultural awareness sharing (Crabtree, 2008), as well
as networking opportunities and application of
classroom learning to real-world issues (Bowen et
al., 2009). Ultimately, service-learning stimulates
student learning and engages students in their
surrounding communities. Service learning creates
new goals for students such as personal
development, career development, moral
development, academic achievement, and
“reflective civic participation” (Lamb et al., 1998).
These types of projects allow students to utilize
material learned in the classroom to improve
societal conditions
Evaluation
and
application
to thesis/
topic
48. Integrating concepts and theories
learned in the classroom with everyday life
makes students more capable of highlighting
the importance of each course. Additionally,
material learned in business courses can be
applied to benefit the community through a
variety of tangible services, such as business
planning or marketing new programs. Service
learning is an excellent way for students to
apply their course lessons to real-world
situations and concurrently benefit the
community.
