Another thing that we discovered is about Literature Review. It is like a new thing for me. During my Foundation year, I have not done anything on so-called "Literature Review". To be frank, I really have no idea about Literature Review. After I came to UKM and went through this Computer in Education course, I got some ideas on what is Literature Review.
What is Literature Review?
According to WIKIPEDIA, A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work.
Simai Haji Mati was quoted saying that literature review should be referred to as reviewing and analyzing the work of literature in relation to the specified topic in research.
Most often associated with academic-oriented literature, such as a thesis, a literature review usually precedes a research proposal and results section. Its ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and forms the basis for another goal, such as future research that may be needed in the area.
A well-structured literature review is characterized by a logical flow of ideas; current and relevant references with consistent, appropriate referencing style; proper use of terminology; and an unbiased and comprehensive view of the previous research on the topic.
In a nutshell, I think Literature Review is like "works" done by previous authors about the particular topics. So, it is like a reference to us if we are doing any research on something. SO now, I already have an idea on what Literature Review is.
