Outline and literature review

There has not been much progress made this week on the project. I am anticipating feedback on the outline. Should I post the outline to the blog? I was waiting because it is over 10 pages. Please let me know if I should post it or a link on the blog site. I continue to search for additional articles for the literature review. I am currently searching for information about “social constructivism.” If anyone has ideas, please let me know. I have found one book that explains it well. In the past day I started to write the literature review from the summaries written for the midterm. This process is going well but slow… So, for now I will continue to work on this literature review.

Thanks for suggestions and ideas.

Literature Review Continues...

This week is very busy as I continue to search and review articles for the literature review. Thank you Hussain for your feedback last week. I have searched under those key words but my problem is locating a study that researched these variables in similar ways. It has been a difficult task. When searching just feedback, I usually obtain many articles but it relates specifically providing feedback for written (paper and pencil) paper assessments and not PBL or scenario based assessments. However, I am going to go to the library now and continue my search. Thanks again for your feedback. Have a great week!

Literature Review starting...

This past week has been a little slow as I am currently working on the draft of this research and preparing for a conference. Currently I am working on the literature review and having problems locating a study with a similar experiment and similar variables. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Even though I have not found an “exact” match, I am finding research articles with that have one or more similar variables that can be used.
Have a great week.
