,Section A - Introduction TO Literature Review
Q1.
A doctoral candidate plans a systematic review on the impact of flipped classrooms in
higher education. According to the 2026 PRISMA guidelines, which element is
MANDATORY for the review protocol to be registered prior to data extraction?
A. A detailed risk-of-bias assessment plan B. A predefined search strategy and
inclusion criteria
C. A list of anticipated subgroup analyses D. A plan for handling missing outcome data
Correct: B - A predefined search strategy and inclusion criteria
Rationale:PRISMA 2020 (and 2026 updates) require that the review protocol specify the
search strategy and eligibility criteria prospectively to reduce bias. While risk-of-bias and
subgroup plans are important, they are not the core registration requirement. Registration
ensures transparency in methods.
Q2.
In a meta-analysis of educational interventions, the Q statistic is significant but I² is 35%.
Which interpretation best reflects the current 2026 guidance?
A. There is no heterogeneity; proceed with a B. Heterogeneity is low, but the significant Q
fixed-effect model. suggests unexplained variance.
C. The between-study variance is high, D. The Q statistic is underpowered; I²
warranting a random-effects model. should be ignored.
Correct: B - Heterogeneity is low, but the significant Q suggests unexplained variance.
Rationale:I² of 35% indicates low-to-moderate heterogeneity, but a significant Q suggests
that even low heterogeneity may be statistically meaningful. The 2026 guidance emphasizes
interpreting both measures together, not relying solely on I² thresholds.
Q3.
When conducting a literature review on culturally responsive pedagogy, which theoretical
framework is BEST suited to analyze how power dynamics shape educational practices?
A. Constructivist learning theory B. Critical race theory
C. Social cognitive theory D. Systems theory
Correct: B - Critical race theory
Page 3
, Section A - Introduction TO Literature Review
Rationale: Critical race theory explicitly examines how race, power, and privilege operate in
educational systems, making it ideal for analyzing power dynamics. Constructivism focuses
on individual meaning-making, social cognitive theory on observational learning, and systems
theory on interconnected components-none center power as directly.
Q4.
A researcher screens 1,200 abstracts and selects 150 for full-text review. To ensure
inter-rater reliability per 2026 standards, what is the MINIMUM proportion of abstracts that
should be double-screened?
A. 5% B. 10%
C. 20% D. 50%
Correct: C - 20%
Rationale:Cochrane and 2026 guidelines recommend double-screening at least 20% of
records to calculate agreement and resolve discrepancies, balancing reliability with efficiency.
Lower percentages risk missing disagreements; higher may be impractical.
Q5.
In a realist review of mentorship programs, which synthesis approach is most appropriate
to explain 'what works, for whom, and in what circumstances'?
A. Thematic analysis B. Framework synthesis
C. Configurational analysis D. Rapid evidence assessment
Correct: C - Configurational analysis
Rationale:Realist reviews focus on context-mechanism-outcome configurations, and
configurational analysis is the synthesis method that identifies such patterns. Thematic
analysis is too descriptive; framework synthesis is for theory-driven but not necessarily realist;
rapid evidence assessment is a time-saving method, not a synthesis approach.
Q6.
A review team uses the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) to assess study quality.
Which design is correctly paired with its MMAT criteria?
A. Qualitative study: appropriateness of B. Randomized controlled trial: blinding of
qualitative approach participants
C. Cross-sectional study: follow-up rate D. Case study: use of multiple data sources
Correct: A - Qualitative study: appropriateness of qualitative approach
