This chapter will provide information and background on my chosen topic and explain why it is currently relevant. Furthermore is will also explain the aims and objectives of the literature review.
"This literature review will use a selection of available documents on the topic, which contain information, ideas, data and evidence written from a particular standpoint to fulfill certain aims or express certain views on the nature of the topic and how it is to be investigated, and the effective evaluation of these documents in relation to the research being proposed."
o Review of related literature: In what ways does the literature review support the need for this study?
The researcher will look at different methods and decide which should use to gather the information required to answer the hypothesis questions. These methods may both include quantitative and qualitative approach such as interviews, questionnaires, conducting experiments or gathering data through statistic. After choosing appropriate methods, the researcher will investigate possible ethical implications, validity and reliability of the data collected.
The following step will determine the research method and identify and formulate the necessary details for the ensuing research,
The authors selected research articles and other writings from the field for review and analysis. There methods were thorough. There intent was to integrate the findings that had already
I have been hired to conduct a research project for university here in Washington DC. I will be meeting with my University clients to explain the research strategy that I will be developing. This strategy is critical for the success of the research project; I will help my client understand what research strategy is and how to prepare a report that addresses the following topics. First I will discuss how research topics are selected. I will then discuss the importance of the purpose statement and explain how research questions and hypothesis are developed. I will then discuss the null and alternative hypothesis and how they support the research effort. I will also discuss how research effort will be measured and
A hypothesis is not a question, but rather it is a statement about the relationship between two or more variables. A research question is a question that the research project sets out to answer. In fact, a research study may set out to answer several questions. Be a qualitative research study, the following two research questions that underpin the study, and also needed to be answered by the
When conducting research, a researcher may choose to the three different methodologies that include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methods to analyze the data collected. These three methodologies all have differing ways of reaching a conclusion in a research study. For example, Quantitative research uses deductive or confirmatory scientific method; it is used primarily as a source of description, explanation, and as a way to predict an outcome. Quantitative research was built on the basis of quantitative data, used almost always as the analysis of variables. The results of these kinds of theories relies mostly on measurements, are statistically driven and the goal is to generalize the results of the study.
A literature review is a summary about previous studies on the topic, Conducted at the same time as defining the research question
Secondary resources might include a literature review of books, newspapers, articles and information from databases. Data gathering is significant as it is the basis for findings and conclusions, which are then used to make recommendations. When gathering data, it is important to pay attention to ethical data collection requirements and practises.
The following research questions are delineated from the literature review, and are the central focus of the study and analysis:
Through the extensive use of literature review, the researchers have attempted to answer the following research questions:
A review of the literature provides more detailed information on the chosen topic. Its purpose is to give the researcher knowledge that will form the foundation for his or her study and therefore, the information must be related to the topic. Not only does it provide basic information on the variables in the topic but also covers various relatable studies conducted in the past; how, where they were conducted, and the conclusions that the researcher(s) came to. Literature can be obtained from a wide variety of sources; newspapers, journals, databases, books, encyclopedias, digital sources, and much more. Information obtained in this section helps the researcher understand the magnitude of the problem defined in the first stage, recognize any consequences and gaps that other researchers may have not filled, and identify potential strategies to combat the problem. It serves as a secondary source of information. Based on
This section on literature review is focussed on various models and theories that are relevant to our study.
