    Guidelines for developing writing instruction framework within the context of English For Academic Purposes (EAP) as informed by Academic Literacies: a critical interpretive meta synthesis
    (2021-10) Arslan, Fundagül
    This thesis aimed to provide guidelines for developing writing instruction framework within the context of teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as informed by Academic Literacies (Ac Lits). To this end, the researcher explored the empirical articles focusing on teaching writing published in the Journal of English for Academic Purposes (JEAP). A research synthesis method was employed to review, analyze, and synthesize 109 research articles, using a spreadsheet program for categorizing and coding qualitative data. The researcher analyzed the purposes and results of these studies, using Noblit and Hare’s (1988) meta-ethnographic approach to interpretive synthesis as adapted by Dixon-Woods et al. (2006), called critical interpretive synthesis, and Schütz’s (1973) notion of second and third order constructs. In the end, the researcher highlighted a number of principles for guiding writing instruction within the context of EAP as informed by Academic Literacies.

    Teaching the adventures of Huckleberry Finn: a meta-ethnographic study
    (2014) Doğan, Naime
    The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how models of teaching literature, and literary theories could be used to provide lenses and alternative perspectives for analysing and interpreting a number of sources and studies focusing on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to inform instructional planning. The study used meta-ethnography, an approach to interpretive synthesis, to synthesise qualitative studies and sources for identifying second-order interpretations around recurring themes and concepts identified by the researcher. To enable interpretation across studies and sources, the researcher used models of teaching literature for developing surface third-order interpretations, and literary theories for generating deeper level third-order interpretations for instructional use.
