Systematic Reviews in Educational Research: Methodology, Perspectives
A literature review is a scholarly paper which provides an overview of current knowledge about a topic. It will typically include substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic (Hart 2018, p. xiii).Traditionally in education 'reviewing the literature' and 'doing research' have been viewed as distinct activities.
Methodologies for Conducting Education Research
Presents an overview of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research designs, including how to choose the design based on the research question. This book is particularly helpful for those who want to design mixed-methods studies. Green, J. L., G. Camilli, and P. B. Elmore. 2006. Handbook of complementary methods for research in education.
Methodological Approaches to Literature Review
The literature review can serve various functions in the contexts of education and research. It aids in identifying knowledge gaps, informing research methodology, and developing a theoretical framework during the planning stages of a research study or project, as well as reporting of review findings in the context of the existing literature.

Systems Research in Education: Designs and methods
This exploratory paper seeks to shed light on the methodological challenges of education systems research. There is growing consensus that interventions to improve learning outcomes must be designed and studied as part of a broader system of education, and that learning outcomes are affected by a complex web of dynamics involving different inputs, actors, processes and socio-political contexts.
Reflections on conducting rapid reviews of educational research
Purpose. This paper seeks to contribute to the methodological literature by reflecting on the conduct of a rapid review that we undertook in the field of education. This process involved using and, where necessary, adapting the interim guidance from the Cochrane rapid reviews methods group (Garritty et al. 2020 ).

Overall, recent reviews of the educational leadership literature document a pluralistic methodological landscape in many ways. While mixed methods are not particularly prevalent, qualitative and quantitative methods are both very common, with the advantage going to one or the other depending on the topic and region included in the review.
Literature review as a research methodology: An overview and guidelines
As mentioned previously, there are a number of existing guidelines for literature reviews. Depending on the methodology needed to achieve the purpose of the review, all types can be helpful and appropriate to reach a specific goal (for examples, please see Table 1).These approaches can be qualitative, quantitative, or have a mixed design depending on the phase of the review.
Scoping Reviews: Expanding Methodological Approaches to Literature
Literature reviews map the research landscape in a topic area, identify gaps that new research can address, or frame a future research project. Literature reviews inform research and are integral to developing evidence-based policies. In adult education, systematic, critical, integrative, and historical reviews have been conducted.
