SOTL Research: Literature Review: How to Connect Your Research to Existing Literature
SOTL Research Requires:
1) Discipline (rigorous research methods)
2) Peer-review
3) Publication
4) Generativity (building upon prior research and scholarship; i.e., LITERATURE REVIEW)
Here's a fill-in-the blanks exercise (aka a "syntactical borrowing" exercise) to help conceptualize our research. Filling in these blanks may help us to conceptualize how to build a more complete bibliography. In other words, thinking about what already exists in the literature and the niche we are filling can expand our REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE:
1) This study builds on and contributes to earlier studies on _______________.
2) Although earlier studies have examined _______________, they did not ______________.
3) As such, this study provides additional insight into ___________________.
4) The theoretical insights from ___________________ provides another contribution.
5) This study analyzes ____________________.
6) Although earlier studies in ______________ have identified ____________, little analytical attention has been paid to ________________.
7) I address this issue by studying _________.
Here's how Lisa Mills and I filled in the blanks on 3/6/9:
1) creativity
2) creativity in studio art, examine creativity in the complex art of filmmaking
3) writing for film production that involves multiple crafts and disciplines, each requiring guidance AND latitude for their creativity
4) Egri and Aristotle
5) student outcomes in screenwriting tasks (before and after) exposure to specific educational activities
6) creativity in writing, outcomes, the creative proces
7)
Note: To design our research and improve the quality of our bibliography, we'll need to think about:
1) the theories that we are testing (the "Why?"),
2) the methods we are using to test those theories (the "How?") and
3) the outcomes we are after (the "What?").
Sources for Further Research:
Music Research.
EBSCO host.
An article on Creativity and Film.
Activity Theory.
An article called One Sense is Never Enough.

IRB - SOTL Research and Human Subjects: Notes March 6, 2009
UCF's Institutional Review Board consists of a committee established to advocate for the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants involved in research.
Biographies for members of the UCF IRB can be accessed here.
UCF's IRB exists pursuant to Federal Regulations. UCF has additionally completed assurance agreements with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Human Research Protection, to describe the institutions’ human subjects program and assure compliance with federal regulations for human subject protection.
45 CFR 46.112 covers research on human subjects and defines research (broadly) as any "systematic investigation... designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" (e.g., a study that will be published, presented at a conference, copied and placed in the library, etc.).
In addition, students (and their parents, if the student is under 18) have certain rights under FERPA, a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
To undertake research at UCF, CITI training is required.
