Project description
As part of this module you are required to submit a research plan and an ethics form, 20% weighting.<\/p>\n

Please note that the project plan you submit does not bind you to doing your dissertation on this topic, however, if you choose to, you can develop it into a dissertation.<\/p>\n

When writing your project plan, you need to keep in mind the marking criteria:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Title
\u2022 A literature Review
\u2022 Hypothesis
\u2022 Justification of a chosen methodology
\u2022 An awareness of ethical issues that might be involved \u2013 fill in the ethics form
\u2022 An estimated timetable or Gantt chart
\u2022 Style \u2013 correct referencing, grammar, academic style<\/p>\n

It is anticipated that you should be able to cover the required criteria within 1000 words.<\/p>\n

What is a literature review?
A literature review requires you to conduct a literature search for relevant material which should include research-based evidence. As well as showing that you can identify and understand the key points, you should compare key themes and arguments on specific content. Your search for the relevant literature should lead you to a greater understanding of what has been written on a specific topic and where the gaps are. You may find that there are different viewpoints that your review must reflect.<\/p>\n

Writing a literature review
Producing a literature review is best thought of as a three-stage process:
a) The literature search
Finding the relevant data.<\/p>\n

b) The literature review
Critically read and draw conclusions from the literature.<\/p>\n

c) Write up
Present the discussion and analysis of your conclusions.
The literature search
Find the relevant data from the following sources:
\u2022 Journal articles (from online databases or written articles)
\u2022 Official web-sites [e.g. The Department of Health, The World Health Organisation ]
\u2022 Up-to-date books or chapters in edited books
\u2022 Newspaper reports \u2013 not tabloid<\/p>\n

Searching for relevant literature takes time;
\u2022 Try to refer to the original source if possible (avoid citations);
\u2022 Avoid non-academic internet sources \u2013 non-peer reviewed material from the World Wide Web is not always an appropriate resource for an academic assignment.<\/p>\n

When reading and drawing conclusions from the literature, keep a record of literature reviewed. Actively read the material, asking questions such as:
\u2022 What are the key\/recurring themes?
\u2022 Are there any gaps in the literature?
\u2022 Does the literature identify areas for future research?<\/p>\n

More detail
1. Introduction
\u2022 What is your aim?
\u2022 Why is this topic a contemporary issue?
\u2022 What are the key theory\/concepts you are going to discuss?
2. Literature Search Results
\u2022 Discuss key themes\/topics\/articles;
\u2022 Compare and contrast the literature (does the literature make similar points or are there differences?)
\u2022 Does the literature make theoretically and methodologically sound points?
\u2022 Identify limitations in the literature. NB: Remember! Adopt a critical perspective.
3. Hypothesis \u2013 must be clear. State direction and null hypothesis.
4. Complete the ethics form \u2013 as covered in Merryn\u2019s lecture
5. Conclusions
\u2022 Summarise the key findings within the literature
\u2022 Summarise the main points you have made
\u2022 Draw your final conclusions
\u2022 Make suggestions for research questions\/hypotheses<\/p>\n

Specific guidelines
\u2022 Paginate (number the pages)
\u2022 Use Verdana (Minimum font size 12)
\u2022 Justify the text
\u2022 Use 1.5 spacing
\u2022 Submit through Turnitin \u2013 online, in the correct folder.<\/p>\n
