The Literature Review was the main paper/project for the Research Methods course. My literature review provides a picture of developmental mathematics in community colleges, looking at three issues:

 

1. Is developmental mathematics effective?

2. What factors influence success in developmental mathematics?

3. Improving student outcomes

 

The literature review met the following course objectives:

  • Understand the essential components of education research and education research writing and reporting: This understanding was critical to reading and incorporating research into our literature reviews.
  • Locate and review a preliminary set of research literature relevant to an education topic of your choice: One class session was reserved for us to learn how to locate and read research articles. For the remainder of the writing experience, I accumulated several relevant articles that were included in the final paper.
  • Prepare a literature review on a topic in education that demonstrates you can develop a succinct, accurate, and balanced written presentation for an academic audience: This objective was met by the literature review as a finished product.
