WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

This workshop is designed to introduce the process of planning, researching, and drafting a literature review. As part of this focus, this workshop will address how to read sources critically and writing reviews that place these sources in the context of their field. This workshop will also suggest a variety of organizational patterns for literature reviews and address some major revision concerns and methods for citing sources appropriately. Other important components in this workshop include enhancing literature search skills, mapping and analyzing ideas and critical evaluation of literature. Managing secondary (or critical) resources in a given field is one of the most challenging and frustrating tasks faced by researchers. Researchers must learn a range of skills to effectively marshal and organize their research as soon as possible. One of the skills which is vital in analyzing secondary literature is the technique of questioning. As such, we must look for research and writing strategies for managing this material. By breaking this process down into six steps and incorporating Socratic method of questioning, we can begin to unpack some important aspects of secondary literature review and analysis. This workshop is designed to help participants do so.

OBJECTIVES:

• To help you to critically assess research materials.
• To help you understand and apply Socratic questioning method which is a type of pedagogy in which a series of questions are asked not only to draw individual answers, but also to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand.
• To guide you on how best to use the literature in making an argument
• To guide you on the research & writing strategies for managing secondary literature.

LEARNING OUTCOME:

At the end of the workshop, participant will have acquired the following knowledge and skills:

• Apply research and writing strategies for managing the related literature.
• Able to examine core maps to formulate an arguments scheme and reasoning pattern in order to use these to determine ‘what is known’ about the topic.
