Authored by Compton-Lilly, Rogers, and Lewis Ellison, the book delves into the major types of syntheses, including dissertation literature reviews, traditional literature reviews, integrative literature reviews, meta-synthesis, and meta-ethnography. By offering practical techniques and frameworks, the authors aim to assist researchers in making sense of a vast body of scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors address both standard and untraditional forms of research synthesis, showcasing clear and practical examples of synthesis designs and techniques. They also consider the epistemological, ontological, and ethical questions that arise when designing and adapting a research synthesis. The extensive appendices feature sample literature reviews, guidance on communication with journal editors, useful charts, and additional resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat sets this book apart is the authors' critical reflection and analysis, which demonstrates that a research synthesis is not merely a means to an end but rather reflects each scholar's interests, target audience, and message. The book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early career and more experienced researchers in literacy education. It offers a comprehensive and insightful approach to understanding and conducting research synthesis in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 424g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 227 x 25 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367634001\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Compton-Lilly,RebeccaRogers,Tisha Lewis Ellison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104677490938,"sku":"9780367634001","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/271cfe779164c50116c4905494aa992d.jpg?v=1633141796","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/making-sense-of-literacy-scholarship-approaches-to-synthesizing-literacy-research","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
