Abstract

This chapter guides the reader through the thought processes and practices needed to successfully create a literature review that supports their project. It is important that the reader understands the purpose of a literature review and how to make connections between it and other parts of the research project. This chapter provides specific search strategies for research into parental involvement. Because everything on a topic cannot be included in a project, this chapter outlines strategies for deciding what should be included in or excluded from a literature review.
