WRITING A LITERATURE REVIEW - UWA STUDYSmarter Survival Guide

https://www.uwa.edu.au/students/-/media/Project/UWA/UWA/Students/Docs/STUDYSmarter/HM3-Writing-a-literature-review.pdf
- Begin reading broadly around your topic. --> Gradually, focus in on particular texts. --> Eventually, find the gap that you can help fill.
- What should you be trying to achieve? Your literature review should:
1) place your research in a historical/theoretical context,
2) show how your research relates to previous studies and why it is important,
3) examine ‘landmark’ i.e. momentous or key papers in your field,
4) identify and critically discuss key theoretical or methodological controversies,
5) compare and contrast different authors’views on your research topic,
6) identify the areas that still need to be researched (the gaps in knowledge),
7) establish the need for your research, and
8) ensure your voice is clearly evident inyour critiques and throughout the review.

The Literature Review: A Few Tips On Conducting It

https://advice.writing.utoronto.ca/types-of-writing/literature-review/
- In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. As a piece of writing, the literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis).
- A literature review must do these things:
1) be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question you are developing
2) synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known
3) identify areas of controversy in the literature
4) formulate questions that need further research
- A literature review is a piece of discursive prose, not a list describing or summarizing one piece of literature after another. It’s usually a bad sign to see every paragraph beginning with the name of a researcher. Instead, organize the literature review into sections that present themes or identify trends, including relevant theory. You are not trying to list all the material published, but to synthesize and evaluate it according to the guiding concept of your thesis or research question.

Writing an Annotated Bibliography

https://advice.writing.utoronto.ca/types-of-writing/annotated-bibliography/
- In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a concise summary of each source and some assessment of its value or relevance.
- Selecting the sources: define the scope of your research carefully so that you can make good judgments about what to include and exclude.
- Summarizing the argument of a source: identify its thesis (or research question, or hypothesis), its major methods of investigation, and its main conclusions.

How-to Guide: Writing an MA Thesis in the Social Sciences

- 그 주제에 대해서 항상 읽고 싶을 정도로 정말 관심이 가는 연구문제를 선정하라. 익숙하다는 이유로 선정하지 말라.
(So how does one go about choosing a question? I tell my MA students at King’s that they need to begin by choosing a topic that really excites them.
In choosing your topic, the subject matter needs to be so compelling that you want to read about it all the time. If you are already bored after a few days of reading, cut your losses and choose something else. If you try to stick it out, you will dread working on your thesis.
Do not choose a topic simply because you are familiar with it already. You will be bored by the subject and your boredom will show through in your writing.)

10-11월: Choose a topic.
12-1월: Read about the topic. Write 2-3 potential potential research questions (addressing contested positions in the debate, or that fill a gap in the literature.) 문헌 속의 쟁점이나 공백에 응하는 잠정적 연구질문 2-3개 작성.
1-2월: Choose a research question. Refine. (This is the tricky part. You’re looking for something that is broad enough to stimulate your interest, but narrow enough that you can actually offer a satisfying answer.) [교생 가기 전까지 여기까지를 목표로...]
2-4월: Read widely around your topic. (Now is the time to read as much of the scholarly literature on your topic as you can.)
2-4월: Map out existing scholarly debates surrounding your question. (literature review 작성) + Refine your research question.
5월: Determine how your argument/thesis fits in with (or argues against) what has already been said in the academic literature.
5월: Marshal appropriate evidence
5-6월: Outline + Detailed Outline(The first outline should be 1-2 pages. It should include all of the major sections that are specific to your thesis, and 2-3 sentences on what you will discuss in each section. ... The second outline you write should be as detailed as you can make it- down to the paragraph if possible.)
6-8월: Keep reading about your topic.
6-9월: Write. Write. Write. (Remember to stay focused on your research question. Your job is to provide as clear and compelling an argument as possible.)
At this point, you will probably struggle. As I recently said to one of my students: An MA dissertation is hard- and I expect you to struggle. It is your job to decide which set of theories apply best, whether you should integrate case studies or separate them out, whether the reader needs more background information to make sense of your argument, etc. A good chunk of the learning takes place IN THIS STRUGGLE. Don’t try to take a shortcut through your learning process- push through it. If you try something and it doesn’t work, you will need to rewrite it. It’s that simple.

오창택. (2009). 연구논문주제의 탐색방법. 한국사회복지지원학회.
1. 전공분야에 대한 개인적인 관심: 무엇이 자신의 지적 호기심이나 흥미를 강하게 유발시키는지 검토 ("연구논문의 작성은 연구자로 하여금 시간뿐만 아니라 금전과 같은 물질적인 비용과 인내나 노력 등과 같은 비물질적인 비용을 적지 않게 투여하게 만든다. 또 때로는 연구를 진행하는 과정 속에서 연구자는 크고 작은 어떤 난관에 봉착하여 논문작성을 순조롭게 진척시키지 못하는 상황에 직면하기도 하며, 극단적인 경우에는 논문작성을 중도에 포기하는 것이 더 나은지를 고민하게 만드는 상황에 처하게 되기도 한다. 연구주제의 탐색에서부터 논문작성의 완료에 이르는 연구의 전 과정에 걸쳐 열정과 정성이 강도 높게 뒷받침 된다면, 연구수행 중 당면할 수 있는 여러 문제점들은 대부분 무난하게 극복해 나갈 수 있을 것이다."[p.32])
2. 과거의 개인적인 경험: 직간접적인 실무경험을 통해 터득한 지식은 연구주제 선정의 훌륭한 기반
3. 주변 현상에 대한 관찰: 문제의식을 갖고서 주위에서 일어나는 특정 사건이나 현상을 예의주시하여 분석해 보고 그 결과를 면밀히 검토
4. 기존의 지식체계: 선행연구들의 제언, 불일치성, 연구방법, 재생가능성과 확대가능성, 특정 현상에 대한 기존 이론이나 지식의 설명력 등을 비판적으로 검토하여 연구주제를 선정
5. 문제해결에 대한 사회적 요구: ex. 언론기사를 통해 저소득층 아이들의 인터넷 중독현상이 심각하며 이러한 현상에 대한 해결방안이 사회적으로 시급히 요구된다는 것을 인지하고, 이를 기반으로 연구주제를 선정
6. 평소에 축적한 아이디어: 특정 현상과 관련하여 의문점이 생겨나거나 문제점을 발견할 때마다 꼼꼼하게 기록하는 습관을 가져야
7. 연구동향: 동료, 선배, 지도교수, 해당 관심분야의 전문가 등과 대화를 나누어 보고, 학술대회나 공청회에 참석하여 활동해 보며, 그리고 주요 학회지의 목차, 최근 연구문헌의 참고문헌, 전산화된 논문초록이나 색인집, 다른 분야의 연구문헌 등을 면밀히 검토
