Instructions:
Write a literature review of an important topic of inquiry in your field. Choose a research area of interest and conduct a thorough search of recently published academic articles in this area. Be intentional and specific in the area you wish to explore/investigate to conduct a focussed and refined literature search. Include only articles in academic journals – search for them using online academic databases and the reference lists of relevant articles. Read the articles carefully, several times if necessary, to make sure you understand each study. Please use as many South African documents as possible
A literature review typically includes:
a. Introduction, which describes the context in which your topic is situated and explains its importance;
b. Synthesis, which summarizes key aspects of prior studies;
c. Evaluation, which analyzes and appraises prior studies in terms of their theoretical underpinnings, methodologies, results, interpretations, and conclusions;
d. Justification, which identifies major themes or knowledge gaps in prior studies and provides a rationale for your intended work or guidelines for future work on the topic; and
e. Conclusion, which recaps the main findings from the literature review and explains how these findings inform policy, research, and practice or how your work will address the knowledge gaps.
Please be weary of plagiarism. This will be put through a plagiarism checker.
