Study Notes
Main Purpose of Research
- Supports system and knowledge building.
- Avoids duplication by identifying existing research.
- Provides background information relevant to the research problem.
- Expands information access and enhances interpretation.
Review of Related Literature (RRL)
- Aims to discover what is known and what remains to be explored regarding the research question.
- Facilitates comparison between current study results and findings from previous research.
- Involves assessment of research addressing specific questions.
- Encompasses a systematic process and is typically authored by experts in the field.
Types of RRL
-
Traditional or Narrative RRL
- Critiques and summarizes existing literature in a conversational format.
-
Systematic RRL
- Employs a defined approach to evaluate literature comprehensively.
-
Meta-Analysis
- Applies statistical methods to analyze and aggregate findings from multiple studies.
-
Meta-Synthesis
- Utilizes non-statistical methods to integrate findings qualitatively.
Characteristics of Good Quality RRL
- Comprehensive: Provides understandable and exhaustive coverage of the topic.
- Up-to-Date: Incorporates timely and relevant research.
- Systematic: Follows an organized approach in literature examination.
- Reproducible: Results and methods can be replicated by others.
- Free from Bias: Maintains objectivity, avoiding subjective influences.
- Well-Written: Organizes information clearly for better comprehension.
- Sum of Its Parts: Breaks down complex information into detailed components.
- Clearly Selected: Focuses on accessible and relevant literature.
- Accurate Reference: Cites appropriate and suitable sources.
Factors Affecting RRL
-
Research Background:
- Complexity of the problem affects the ease of RRL collection; simpler projects yield more resources than complex ones.
Sampling Techniques
- Involves selecting subjects or participants from a larger population.
Approaches to Sampling
-
Probability Sampling: Random selection of participants.
-
Types:
- Random: Equal chance of selection for all.
- Stratified: Population divided into subgroups for targeted sampling.
- Cluster: Groups are formed based on similar characteristics.
- Systematic: Participants chosen based on a numbered list.
-
Types:
-
Non-Probability Sampling: Selection based on specific characteristics rather than randomness, targeting unique attributes.
