Literature Review

Literature Review

Reference of previous studies that relevant to the project.

• Literature studies are information reviews obtained from journals, books, proceedings and past studies for a recent study.

• It is a systematic process that requires research and skills in finding, collecting, reading and formulating information in detail as it provides an idea and direction on the problems being studied.

• In the process of conducting a literature study, a researcher will identify the findings of other researchers in the field to be studied.

• The reference used must be related to the project/research focus. The amount of reference materials required is at least THREE (3) scientific references published in the preceding period of 5 years. The main elements to be taken into consideration in making reference analysis are:

  1. • 1. looking for similarities;

       2. looking for inequality (contrast);

       3. give views (criticsize);

       4. comparing (synthesizes); and

       5. summarize (summarize)

• When we write a literature review, it usually consists of 3 main sections:

  1. Introduction section that describe the topic of the review.

  2. Body section which contain the discussion of sources.

     • In the discussion, students should:

       1. Be clear of the items that need to be discussed. It can be a variable or a technique or different design decisions.

       2. Make comparisons and give technical comments. Summary of the comparison could be tabulated or shown in graphs to clarify the differences.

  3. Conclusions from the discussion of sources and recommendations (if any). The main point in the conclusion of the literature review would be the clarification and emphasis of the gaps (unexplored/unsolved problem in the field) and the contribution of the student’s project.

• Kajian literatur merupakan ulasan maklumat yang diperolehi daripada jurnal, buku, prosiding dan kajian lepas untuk sesuatu kajian terbaharu. Ia merupakan satu proses sistematik yang memerlukan penelitian dan kemahiran mencari, mengumpul, membaca serta merumus maklumat dengan terperinci kerana ia dapat memberikan idea dan hala tuju mengenai permasalahan yang sedang dikaji.

• Dalam proses membuat kajian literatur, seseorang penyelidik akan mengenal pasti dapatan-dapatan penyelidik lain dalam bidang yang akan dikaji. Rujukan yang digunakan mestilah berkaitan dengan fokus projek/kajian. Jumlah bahan rujukan yang diperlukan adalah sekurang-kurangnya TIGA (3) rujukan ilmiah yang diterbitkan dalam jangka masa 5 tahun terdahulu.

• Elemen utama yang perlu diambil perhatian di dalam membuat analisis rujukan adalah:

  1. mencari kesamaan (compare);

  2. mencari ketidaksamaan (contrast);

  3. memberi pandangan (criticsize);

  4. membandingkan (synthesize); dan

  5. meringkaskan (summarize)
