Literature Review

Question:
I am having problem organising my chapter 2. how do you start and end your chapter 2? if you don't mind sharing with me..

Azamri's response:
Salam,
I think LR is on theoretical foundations as well as on related past studies. For the former identify TF of your study and present the background, what's the latest idea about it. For related studies, have a look at your research questions and list out findings relatede to your RQs. But bear in mind, LR is not series of findings but rather conceptualisation of the findings. That means, please organise findings according to thematic order, for example motivation, strategies, challenges or uqalitative, quantitative and survey research or any sort of sensible organisation that you might think of. It would be helpful to browse through past theses, have a good look at Resource centre at Ed Fac main buiding, net to comp. lab.

Follow-up question:
Thank you bro. so , Chapter Two, start with the throretical foundation, for example self directed learning.what is the theory, how it came about and what research has been done using this theory? ok...so, the CONTEXT of the study (cancer, surviviorship issues, spirituality, culture, blah-blah) , all these are not theoretical foundation of the study, but the context..and setting...where do you write this in your dissertation?
