TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS REGARDING MENTORING WITHIN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES

  • Review of the literature (Chapter II): The review generally identifies and discusses the research topic, theme and/or point that the researcher wants to emphasize. It is not merely a summary of the literature, but a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis and synthesis that places the topic in the context of work in the field. Most of the studies discussed in literature review should be from scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles within the past five years. Doctoral dissertations, peer-reviewed conference publications,technical reports, and book chapters can also be used as secondary sources but check for credibility of the source. Seminal research articles (e.g., theoretical frameworks) can be more than 5 years old. Review of Literature should be written in past tense as past research studies are reviewed. The sections in evaluation rubric are aligned to the requirements in dissertation guide. Chapter II should include:
    • Clear identification of gap(s) in the literature leading to the research study.
    • Historical and/or legislative background of the research topic.
    • Detailed description of the background or context of the study in terms of the problem statement, research purpose and research questions.
    • Review of primary constructs and/or variables to be investigated and the related theoretical and/or empirical research conducted in the past related to the research question(s) and/or hypotheses under investigation.
    • Development of a Conceptual and/or Theoretical Framework. Detailed discussion of the alignment of the framework to the study purpose, constructs, and research questions.
    • Literature-based rationale for the choice of concepts, constructs and/or variables and theoretical frameworks employed in the study.
    • Discussion and comparison of the results and limitations of prior research studies related to the research question(s) and/or hypotheses.
    • Summary of major research findings in review of literature through a concept analysis table, particularly with emphasis on those research studies that most influenced your research questions and study methodology.
