Hoekom is 'n literatuuroorsig nodig?
• Dit bied 'n konteks vir die navorsing ;
• die navorsing te regverdig; • te verseker dat die navorsing nie voorheen gedoen is nie (of indien dit herhaal word, dat dit aangedui word as 'n herhalingstudie); • te wys waar die navorsing by die bestaande kennispoel inpas; • die navorser in staat te stel om van vorige teorieë oor die onderwerp te leer; • te illustreer hoe die onderwerp voorheen ondersoek is; • vergissings in vorige navorsing uit te lig; • gapings in vorige navorsing skets; • te toon dat die werk sal bydra tot die begrip en kennis van die vakgebied; • te help om te verfyn, herfokus of selfs die onderwerp te verander; en • die grondslag te vorm waaruit die motivering vir die studie, die probleemstelling, hipoteses of navorsingsvrae en -ontwerp spruit.

'n Literatuuroorsig (Cohen et al., 2011:121): • staaf en regverdig die behoefte aan die navorsing wat uitgevoer gaan word; • staaf en regverdig die fokus van die navorsing; • is nie net 'n beskrywende opsomming nie, maar 'n geordende en ontwikkelde argument, gewoonlik met onderskrifte; • voorsien argumente en teenargumente, bewyse en teenbewyse oor 'n vraagstuk; • voorsien, kontekstualiseer, analiseer, interpreteer, kritiseer en evalueer bronne en vraagstukke, en aanvaar nie bloot wat gesê word nie; • ontbloot ooreenkomste en verskille tussen outeurs oor dieselfde vraagstuk; • moet gefokus tog omvattend wees in die dekking van tersaaklike vraagstukke; • moet beide kante van 'n saak of argument stel; en • moet baie literatuurbronne insluit en nie net een artikel of boek nie. (Cohen, Manion, & Morrison, 2011:121) Several points must be considered when researching and writing a literature review . A literature review (Cohen et al., 2011:121): • establishes and justifies the need for the research to be conducted; • establishes and justifies the focus of the research; • is not just a descriptive summary but an organised and developed argument, usually with subtitles; • presents arguments and counter-arguments, evidence and counter-evidence about an issue; • presents, contextualises, analyses, interprets, criticises and evaluates sources and issues, and does not merely accept what is said; • reveals similarities and differences between authors about the same issue; • must be focused yet comprehensive in its coverage of relevant issues; • must present both sides of an issue or argument, and • must include and utilise many sources of literature and not only one article or book.
