Literature Review

 

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't been on any of the Module 3 zoom sessions. I have a class whilst they're on but I have been keeping up to date with the recordings and everyone's projects sound incredible and also very different, not just in topic but methodology and theoretical framework.

I have bullet pointed under each sub heading in the critical review with everything I want to include based on where I am so far. I must admit I am really struggling from turning these into actual sentences. I feel like I have some sort of block in the way. Probably fear of getting it wrong. As I would say to my students version one is better then version none but my brain just doesn't want to play ball.

I think my biggest areas of concern are the literature review. I feel like everything I mentioned in Module 2 is still relevant for Module 3 but I'm unsure how to adapt it and also add the plethora of new literature I've been guided to in Module 3. I wondered if anyone had any ideas on this? I've gone into the full scope of research undertaken by a few key researchers which has been interesting to see how they have progressed and developed in their research journeys as suggested by Helen. I am just struggling to collate this into a relevant yet not over the top chunk of information.

Sheahan mentioned she had watched something with Braun and Clarke, which I believe was the same webinar I had signed up to for Thematic Analysis. I found it super informative and they discussed the work in quite an informal way. I also enjoyed their opening introductions and made notes for our oral presentation. It made me think about inclusivity as Carol is looking into. I would definitely recommend their website and the webinar for anyone who is thinking about this as an area of focus.

I hope you are all well and hope to speak to you all soon. The recordings are really comforting in that you are all such an encouraging, supportive group of people.
