Absent Duties in Educational Research: Synthesis Research As a Model
Keywords:
Synthesis Research; Literature Review; Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Abstract
This article highlights some of the absent duties in educational research. The most important of these is the neglect of the synthesis research, which represents a bridging of the research gap and the addition of our knowledge on a subject by creating generalizations and serious attempts to resolve conflicts in the literature. This article attempts to distinguish between the term synthesis research and related terms. The article focuses on the division of literature reviews: the Characteristic, categories, and the evolution of the concept of structural research, its stages and Conclusion.
