● 8 Steps of a Literature Review for the Individual Assignment


1) 1 Research Question
- Define: 1) The 1 Independent Variable
2) The 2 Dependent Variables
3) Their relation to each other (positive, negative, undefined).


2) 1 Theory
- Choose a Theory you understand
- Explain the Theory in such a way that any reader of intelligence can understand it
- Define the gap in the Theory you are going to fill


3.1) 3 Theoretical Constructs
- Define the 3 Variables using existing research


3.2) 3 Variables
- 1 Independent Variable & 2 Dependent Variables
- Introduce each Variable
- Define what distinction is made between the Variables


4) 2 Extrapolations
- 1 Extrapolation for each Dependent Variable (2x1)
- What does the theory suggest about the link between the variables?


5) 6 Research Articles
- 3 Research Articles for each dependent variable (2x3)
- Use only peer-reviewed research articles from academic journals
- For each article describe: 1) Purpose of the study
2) Sample (Type of participants & size of sample)
3) Where the study was conducted
4) Results


6) 2 Hypotheses
- 1 Hypothesis for each Dependent Variable (2x1)
- Define Hypothesis like you Research Question; Same variables, same relation
- Example:
“The relationship between a positive attitude to learning and learning behaviour is positive.”
