Reader 7 - Literature Review and Action Planning

Out of the 3 handbooks, I have found this the most engaging and understandable. Perhaps it is all the work we have done previously, that has laid the foundations for this final stage in our BAPP journeys, that has helped.

To help my self and my fellow BAPP er's on their journey, I have picked out key points that have helped me get started.

Purpose of review (Hart 1998)

• distinguish what has been done from what needs to be done
• discovering important variables
• gaining a new perspective
• identifying ideas through relationships, establishing context

A review may become an important element in analysing your findings. Findings may agree or oppose current debates.

Relevant questions to refer to-

Who is the author/publisher of the text?
