2. Body
In the body, discuss and assess the research according to specific
organizational principles (see examples below), rather than addressing
each source separately. Most, if not all, paragraphs should discuss more
than one source. Avoid addressing your sources alphabetically as this
does not assist in developing the themes or key issues central to your
review. Page 16

Example:
Collaborative learning has been shown to have positive effects
regardless of context. One research is done by DSouza and
Wood (2000) where collaborative learning is used in learning
Mathematics. Collaborative learning has a positive effect
especially in the cognitive domain. Another study shows that
collaborative learning helps students understanding if
compared to listening to a teacher (Hanson, 1985). In another
study by Lanvin (2001), collaborative learning makes students
complacent as they know they can rely on more able peers.
Collaborative learning has also disadvantages. It does not bring
positive effects in all contexts.
