ERSH6200E Assignment for Chapter 3 1 Think about the role of the literature review in a qualitative and in a quantitative study, and answer the questions that follow. 1. Suppose you are planning a qualitative study to examine the problem of attrition from an online doctoral program. Describe the role of the literature review in this qualitative study. In a qualitative study the role of the literature review is to modify or support the existing literature. 2. Suppose you are planning a quantitative study of the factors that predict attrition from a doctoral program. When should you complete a literature review for this quantitative study? Before or after determining your research hypothesis or research questions? In a quantitative study, the literature review should occur in the beginning before determining your research hypothesis or research questions as it provides a rationale for the direction of the study. It is not advisable to choose a topic that is too broad, but often learners' initial topics are too broad. Sometimes students have difficulty applying search terms. For practice in narrowing a search, suppose that you are interested in the effects of teaching children strategies to learn from text. 3. An initial ERIC ( https://eric.ed.gov/ ) search for “ strategies and children” yields more than 22,710 sources, even when limiting to peer-reviewed only. You realize that you are most interested in the effects of teaching learners to summarize text information. Go to the ERIC database using the link above and search for the keyword term strategy training . Limit to peer-reviewed only by checking that box. How many sources were returned? 8,432 4. Narrow your search to include only sources since 2018. How many sources were returned? Hint: You can click on Publication Date   "Since 2018   (last 5   years)." Alternatively, you might try using these terms in an Advanced Search and limit the publication date from 2018 to the present. 1,911 5. Narrow the search further to include reading as a search term. How many sources were returned? Hint: You can further narrow the search by searching for strategy training reading . 573 6. Narrow your search further to target only journal articles.

ERSH6200E Assignment for Chapter 3 2 I used ERIC to search my topic and received 835 results to review. I would narrow my search by selecting peer reviewed articles and searching for articles under the education level of high schools. To see a larger quality of articles that may be of more value, I would search for articles from specific sources, descriptor, publication date, and publication type.
