Literature Review and Analysis
For the final assignment, students will select a topic in
educational psychology. Find at least five scholarly articles, in

addition to a summary of implications.
A literature review is a summary of how your research articles
supported your thesis statement. Be sure to consider opposing
views in your literature review. Here are some resources to help

Narrow your topic and turn it into a question. Your thesis
statement aims to answer this question. This can also guide your
search for articles. (
My driving force question behind the research will be, what are
the main strategies teachers can use to incorporate
affective activities into their daily instruction?
Once a topic/research question has been selected, search for
five research articles from scholarly sources that address your
topic. Your articles must be empirically based, meaning they
involve a research study. Your articles must also be current,
meaning they have been published post-2000.
After reading your articles, write your paper. Your paper must

and answer these questions: With which points did you agree
and/or disagree and why? Which points resonated with you and
