2. Interpretation
3.  Critique

Author's voice: The interpretation: seems that this trend may be related to demographic changes in the late 90s. Many sociological studies from that period noted a trend of population decline linking it to lower birth rate. Some current research attributes the fall in university entrants to this demographic change.

By interpreting the author's explanation and the source, one can conclude that there are changes in the number of students who are involved in education in two opposite trends. There has been a short trend of increase in the number of students in universities after the financial crisis of 2008. After this short increase, however, the number of applicants for 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 courses was respectively 25% and 28% lower than for the previous academic years due to demographic reasons, which dominated the trend of numbers of students  in long terms.

Critique: The explanation fails to take account of significant recent economic changes such as the 2008 financial crisis and the introduction of university fees.

Claim means writer's own opinion of the topic. Each claim need reliable and enough sources to support.
2. How do you know if a source is trustworthy?
 It should be recently sources and it have to be link with the research.
3.How many sources should you have in the literature review?
If we want to get higher point we have to use more than 12 sources. (at least 16)
4. How many types of support can you think of?
- Data and statistics (quantitative support)
- Examples (qualitative support)
- Quotes (expert opinion)
- Citations without details (agreement from expert)
- Logical explanation (usually talking about research gap)
5. What is 'Synthesis'?
Agreement across studies strengthens support for claims. This is particularly helpful for weak support and it is kind of connecting.
6. What is the difference between ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ support?
Strong supports have specific descriptions, e.g. quantitative support and qualitative support, they show specific statistics, data and examples to explain the research findings. Moreover, the quotes from expert opinion are likely to be authoritative and convincing. On the other hand, weak supports refer to citations without enough or specific details.
7. How can you make weak support stronger?
To make the supports stronger, they need to focus entirely on each claim and be organized in methodical and logical sequence.
8. What advice can you give about using quotes?
- Use specific quotes (qualitative or quantitative support)]]> 2020-05-27 06:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/zgsjxjoezpitct76/wish/596192717 usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/zgsjxjoezpitct76/wish/596192838 Conclusion features：Summarising important points of the review ；Evaluating the current state of the literature；Identifying significant flaws or gaps （also summarised from the main body）；– Linking your research （How will your research address the gap）
Introduction：
1. Establish what your topic is
2. Give your reasons
3. Explain the organisation (outline)
4. State the scope (Is anything going to be left out? Are you focussing on any area in particular?)
--This will be your research gap
1)You will be repeating yourself somewhat from your introduction to your research proposal.
2)1 to 2 sentences for each of these is fine.
Main body
The main body organisation depends greatly on your research.

In general, it should:
1.Be organised by theme/topic
2.Show the link between your research focus and the broader literature
3.Move from general to the specific
1) Broad general theories
2)Specific cases & examples
3)Your research gap
What is the purpose of the headings?
Moves from general to specific

How do you choose them and write them?
1.What are the problems?
2.Use techniques
3.The most common tips that teachers have for their students
4.Making use of resources
Common Problems with Using Computers for Study
Techniques for Using Computers Effectively
Tips for Avoiding Online Distractions
 Resources for Further Study
From last week..
• Identify factors promoting/barriers to the successful
delivery of e-learning programmes
– Lit review: General topic information
• Evaluate critically models and frameworks relevant to
supporting academic staff in coping with e-learning
– Lit review: Specific information to do with your focus
• Explore staff views and practices related to e-learning
preparation, including promoting factors and barriers
– Methodology
What should the final heading and the conclusion include?
fianl heading:
conclusion :
1.Summarising important points of the review
2.Evaluating the current state of the literature
3.Identifying significant flaws or gaps---also summarised from the main body
4.Linking your research --How will your research address the gap
