If you break down the task into smaller parts, you will notice that you must: 1. consult relevant references, 2. summarise and integrate what you learn from these references in a proper scientifically written document, and 3. reference the sources that you used appropriately according to the APA 7th edition guidelines. 2024_S1_ASS 01 5 PART 1: For the first part of the task (consulting relevant references), we provide several references that you can use and include in your literature review. Use at least 5 of the references we provided and do your search to find 2 or 3 additional scientific, relevant and recent sources to add to your literature review and the reference list. It is recommended that you use the 2 or 3 additional articles to conceptualise and contextualise your literature review within a distance education institution. Clarke, O., Chan, W. Y.

We know that some students find this to be a daunting and difficult task. Writing does not come naturally for many people. We have many styles of writing – a note to a partner, a love letter to a romantic partner, a memo to a boss, an email to a friend, a report to colleagues, and then there is academic/scientific writing – in a class of its own! To assist you with this written part of the assignment, we provide additional material on scientific writing as an additional resource uploaded in the folder for Assignment 01 on the HMEMS80 myUnisa website. The additional material ranges from some fun exercises to guiding steps and helpful hints and we hope that exploring the different facets and problems typically associated with writing will help you to produce quality academic writing as an output for this assignment! Also, review the checklist for academic writing included at the end of the additional resource to finalise and evaluate your writing before you submit the assignment. The format of the literature review should include at least the following aspects/headings (Adapted from the Week 2 Resource 8 document): Frontpage and table of contents 1. INTRODUCTION – provides an overview of the context and background to the topic. An introduction should provide an overview of what the rest of the document entails namely to “set the scene” for what is to come. 2. VARIABLES - Identify the variable/s. Each variable should be identified first and then defined under a heading. 2.1 Variable 1 2.2 Variable 2 3. PREVIOUS RESEARCH – this includes a variety of research related to the variable/s; it includes exposing different viewpoints, that is, which views concerning the variable/s did you find corresponding and which ones did you find to be contradictory? And what does the literature say about the relationship between the variables and maybe, other variables? 2024_S1_ASS 01 7 4. PROBLEM STATEMENT 4.1 Flowing from the discussions in the literature review identify the research problem – formulate the research question. 4.2 Highlight how the existing body of knowledge (as presented in the literature review) links to the identified research problem (research question). 4.3 The need/value/motivation for the research.
