ACTIVITY 2
CONDUCTING LITERATURE REVIEW SEARCH
Introduction
Literature review is the process and product of examining published material. It is a comprehensive
compilation of what is known about a phenomenon. Typically, this is the second section in a research article
or book, after the introduction but before the methodology. The literature review provides the background
and the context on which the research is conducted. It lays out the foundation of the study.
There are two reasons to perform a literature review. The first is found in the process of reading
what is present in the field. You need to be familiar with the terminology of a field and what prior research
and experiments relate to your own work. Maybe you can adapt your study to answer questions that others
are having trouble with. The second reason is that writing down what is happening in the field gives readers
a basic understanding of current research and points out the gap your research is going to fill.
In doing a literature review, the researcher should determine what research already has been
investigated in his area of interest. The relevance and justification of the reviewed literature to the present
study-local or foreign should give a balance presentation being conducted in various readings.
The review of literature provides the theoretical framework for how the study will be structured, helps
to frame the research question into a research hypothesis, and identifies what will be studied and measured
in the study.
Unit Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of the exercise, the students (should be able/are expected to):
Assess literature critically for what is known and unknown about their research problem.
Identify research designs and methodologies for conducting similar study.
Teaching and Learning Activities
Instruction: Conduct a review of related literature and assess it critically by summarizing what is
known or unknown from previous studies. Also, examine the methodologies and identify concepts
and methods that can be used in conducting your research study.
Review Questions
1. What are the specific problem(s) or question(s) to be addressed in your literature review?
● Do the undergraduate nursing students who received clinical training have higher knowledge
compared to the students who received an online teaching approach?
● How do online and traditional learning differ from each other when it comes to the development
and application of skills?
2. What general reference tools did you use to conduct your search? (List specific electronic databases
consulted.)
- ScienceDirect
- PubMed
3. What search terms did you use?
- Nursing Skills
- Online Learning of Clinical Skills
4. List all questions you hope are already answered by previous research.
● What are the effects of online learning to the skills development of nursing students?
● Does online learning give enough satisfaction for nursing students to learn in clinical settings?
5. Describe what is known about your research problem from previous studies and reference books.
● Online learning is also recognised now by most higher education institutions as one method to
deliver a less resource intensive teaching product (McCutcheon et al., 2015; Means et al., 2010).
● However, systematic reviews have indicated a lack of available evidence to support the blended
learning approach to teaching clinical skills in healthcare education. (McCutcheon et al., 2015;
Dearnley et al., 2013; Rowe et al., 2012).
● The development of these skills can also facilitate their participation and acceptance of clinical
supervision throughout their careers (Rigby et al., 2012; Staun et al., 2010; Carver et al., 2007).
● The results of this study are consistent with previous studies that report lower levels of student
satisfaction in relation to online-only learning which has been related to a lack of social presence,
instructor feedback and a failure to consider the students’ learning preferences (Seiver and Troja,
2014; Chen and Wang, 2009).
● Online learning has progressed from the early forms of distance education that were based on
correspondence type courses, video conferencing and educational television programmes (Zhao
et al., 2006).
