Application of ideas: Constructing your own literature mapConstruct a literature map for the area of education that you are interested in researching.
Guidelines for helping you to construct a literature map:
-
identify emerging themes from your reading and write each of these on separate post-it notes to create headings
-
stick these onto a large piece of paper and highlight the key terms on each
-
look through your sources (paper based or electronic) searching for these key terms
-
make lists of the authors (and possibly relevant page numbers) who refer to one of the emerging themes on a post-it and stick next to the appropriate heading
-
repeat for each of the emerging themes
-
move the post-its around and explore how the different themes link together
