How do i start my literature review?

Question

My project is based on evaluating practice within an early years setting?

Answer 1

well as an Early Years student who just finished and handed in her dissertation i would say to start, but by no means the best way to start your literature review is with a quotation epitomising what a literature review is. Thereby this quotation serving as a reminder for you what you should be focusing on for your dissertation.
Then start with an introduction, explaining what you are going to do, poiniting out and significant research, explaining each paragraph, etc, etc, basically how you would a nromal intoduction.
Then just flow from there, just make sure it flows, and that you have wide source of referencing.

Good luck, enjoy the literature review, and don't panic!!!!

Answer 2

I would suggest -

Write top level headings. Under each heading write main points, quotes etc along with any comments you make.

From this you should have a rough idea of what what you want to say and be able to formulate your literature review.

If you haven't done any reading yet - Take a key article, actively read it (i.e. highlight key points and annotate it with your comments), then use the references to get more articles and continue doing this (actively reading then using the references) until you have a broad range then do the above. You could also also find a service, such as web of science (I am not sure whether this covers your area) that allows you to search for other texts that cites a particular reference

Good luck

Answer 3

Begin your lit review by assembling a comprehensive bibliography consisting of both books and articles from scholarly journals on your topic.

Read and then write a short summary each book and each article. Your summaries need not be in narrative form. They could be using bullet points, or any other form that you use in notetaking. But be sure to note each author's central argument, and the position he or she takes IN RELATION TO the other books and articles you have read.

When you have done all this, you can begin writing your lit review. Sometimes lit reviews are written chronologically, other times they are written using separate categories relevant to the topic under study. Choose which seems best to you.

When writing your lit review, be sure to identify the argument of each book or article, and SPECIFY the particular ways in which that author agrees or disagrees with other authors.

In the end, your lit review will set you up to make your own argument, in which you will agree with certain authors and disagree with others.

Best wishes to you.
