Project
Conceptual Systematic Review (CSR)
This project proposes a novel framework for quality systematic reviews by incorporating elements of qualitative content analysis that are often implicitly contained in synthesizing research but are rarely made explicit, naming such a review Conceptual Systematic Review (CSR). The framework outlines a procedure aimed at disentangling term use systematically, preparing systematic reviews, advancing interdisciplinary communication, and offering guidance in tangled fields of scientific discourse. The framework thereby goes beyond mere synthesis of research findings. The proposed methodological framework involves a six-stage procedure aimed at systematically unravelling tangled terms through the deductive–inductive coding of a systematically retrieved literature corpus. Six criteria are introduced through which the framework quality can be made explicit, allowing professional scrutiny and critique. The proposed framework contains three procedural elements; focusing on the steps from heuristics (knowledge about concepts) over classifications (analytically valid concepts) to systematics (analytically valid and empirically founded concepts). It is argued that making these elements explicit is especially relevant in the field of research on teaching and teacher education that often is described as pre-scientific.
