Ano ang Sintesis? Halimbawa at Kahulugan

Ang sintesis ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng proseso ng pagsusuri at pagsasalaysay.

Sa artikulong ito, tatalakayin natin ang kahulugan ng sintesis, ang kahalagahan nito, at ilan sa mga halimbawa nito sa iba’t ibang larangan.

Mga Nilalaman

Ano ang Sintesis?

Ang sintesis ay mula sa salitang Griyego na “synthesis,” na nangangahulugang “pagpapakasumpong” o “pagsasama-sama.”

Sa konteksto ng akademikong pagsusuri, ang sintesis ay isang proseso ng pagsasama-sama ng mga impormasyon, ideya, at mga bahagi ng teksto upang makabuo ng isang buo at masusing pag-unawa sa isang paksa o konsepto.

Sa madaling salita, ang sintesis ay pag-aambag ng mga bahagi upang makabuo ng kabuuang larawan o pangunahing ideya.

Ito ay isang kritikal na kasanayan sa mga mag-aaral, mananaliksik, at mga propesyonal sa iba’t ibang larangan.

Kahalagahan ng Sintesis

Pag-unawa sa kabuuang konteksto.

Ang sintesis ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga tao na magkaruon ng masusing pang-unawa sa isang paksa.

Sa pamamagitan ng pagsasama-sama ng mga bahagi ng impormasyon, mas maiintindihan natin ang kabuuang konteksto ng isang isyu o konsepto.

Pagpapakita ng Kritikal na Pag-iisip

Ang pagsasagawa ng sintesis ay nangangailangan ng kritikal na pag-iisip. Ito ay hindi lamang simpleng pagpapakopya o pagsasalin ng teksto, kundi pag-aanalisa at pagpapakita ng sariling pag-iisip ukol sa isang paksa.

Pagsasalin sa Sariling Salita

Sa pamamagitan ng sintesis, ang tao ay nagkakaroon ng kakayahan na isalin sa sariling salita ang mga ideya mula sa iba’t ibang sanggunian.

Ito ay nagpapalakas ng kakayahan sa komunikasyon at pagpapahayag.

Pagbuo ng Sariling Pananaw

Ang pag-aambag ng sariling interpretasyon at pananaw sa isang paksa ay isa sa mga benepisyo ng sintesis.

Ito ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga tao na magkaruon ng sariling opinyon at pag-unawa sa mga isyung kanilang pinag-aaralan.

Halimbawa ng Sintesis

1. sintesis sa agham.

Sa mundo ng agham, ang sintesis ay kritikal sa pagbuo ng mga bagong teorya at kaalaman.

Halimbawa nito ay ang pagsasama-sama ng mga eksperimento at pag-aaral tungkol sa klima upang maunawaan ang epekto ng pagbabago ng klima sa kalikasan at lipunan.

Ang sintesis na ito ay nagpapalakas ng argumento para sa pangangailangan ng mga hakbang upang mapanatili ang kalikasan.

2. Sintesis sa Panitikan

Sa larangan ng panitikan, ang sintesis ay mahalaga sa pagsusuri ng mga akda.

Halimbawa nito ay ang pagsasama-sama ng mga tema, simbolismo, at karakterisasyon sa isang nobela upang maunawaan ang kabuuang mensahe ng may-akda.

Sa pamamagitan ng sintesis, ang mga mambabasa ay nagkakaroon ng mas malalim na pag-unawa sa mga likha.

3. Sintesis sa Ekonomiya

Sa ekonomiya, ang sintesis ay ginagamit upang maunawaan ang kalakaran ng merkado at mga ekonomikong isyu.

Halimbawa nito ay ang pagsasama-sama ng data tungkol sa suplay at demand, presyo, at konsyumerismo upang magkaroon ng komprehensibong pagsusuri ng kalagayan ng ekonomiya.

4. Sintesis sa Kasaysayan

Sa pag-aaral ng kasaysayan, ang sintesis ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga historian na magbuo ng mga pangkalahatang konklusyon ukol sa mga pangyayari sa nakaraan.

Halimbawa nito ay ang pagsasama-sama ng mga primarya at sekondaryang sanggunian para sa isang partikular na yugto ng kasaysayan.

5. Sintesis sa Agham Panlipunan

Sa larangan ng agham panlipunan, ang sintesis ay ginagamit upang masuri ang mga panlipunang isyu at pag-aaral.

Halimbawa nito ay ang pagsasama-sama ng mga survey at datos tungkol sa kalusugan, edukasyon, at kabuhayan ng isang komunidad upang malaman ang mga pangunahing problema at solusyon.

Paano Gawin ang Sintesis?

Ang pag-aambag ng isang mahusay na sintesis ay nangangailangan ng mga sumusunod na hakbang:

1. Pagpili ng Mga Sanggunian

Pumili ng mga sanggunian na may kaugnayan sa iyong paksa. Siguruhing may sapat na impormasyon at datos upang mapagtibay ang iyong sintesis.

2. Pagsusuri ng mga Sanggunian

Basahin at suriin ang mga sanggunian nang maayos. Tukuyin ang mga pangunahing ideya, datos, at argumento na makakatulong sa pagbuo ng sintesis.

3. Pag-aambag ng mga Bahagi

Isalaysay ang mga pangunahing bahagi ng mga sanggunian na iyong pinili. Gumamit ng sariling mga salita at buuin ang mga ito sa isang masusing pagsasanaysay.

4. Pagkakaroon ng Organisasyon

Magtakda ng lohikal na organisasyon para sa iyong sintesis. Ito ay maaaring ayon sa kronolohikal na pagkakasunod-sunod, tematiko, o paglalahad ng mga argumento.

5. Pagpapakita ng Sariling Pananaw

Huwag kalimutang magdagdag ng sariling interpretasyon at pananaw sa iyong sintesis. Ito ay nagpapakita ng iyong kritikal na pag-iisip at pag-unawa sa paksa.

Kongklusyon

Sa kabuuan, ang sintesis ay isang mahalagang kasanayan sa pag-aaral at sa iba’t ibang larangan ng buhay.

Ito ay nagbibigay-daan sa atin na magkaruon ng masusing pang-unawa at magbuo ng mga makabuluhang konklusyon ukol sa mga paksa na ating pinag-aaralan.

Sa pamamagitan ng tamang pagsasagawa ng sintesis, mas magiging epektibo tayo sa pag-aanalisa, pagsusuri, at pagpapahayag ng mga ideya.

síntesís synthesis

Synthesis in academic writing refers to the process of combining ideas from multiple sources to create a cohesive understanding or argument about a particular topic. This involves not only summarizing the individual contributions of each source but also integrating them to highlight relationships, contrasts, and overarching themes.

Ano ang Sintesis?

Sa larangan ng akademikong sulatin, ang sintesis ay ang proseso ng pagsasama-sama ng iba’t ibang ideya, impormasyon, o datos mula sa iba’t ibang pinagkukunan upang bumuo ng isang bagong pananaw o pag-unawa. Sa simpleng salita, ito ay ang paglikha ng kabuuan mula sa mga bahagi.

Mga Katangian ng Sintesis?

• Pagsasama ng Impormasyon : Naglalaman ito ng mga pangunahing ideya mula sa iba’t ibang pinagkunan.
• Paghahambing at Pagsusuri : Kadalasan, inihahambing ang mga ideya o datos upang matukoy ang kanilang pagkakatulad at pagkakaiba.
• Pagbuo ng Bagong Ideya : Hindi lamang basta pag-uulit ng mga ideya; naglalayon itong lumikha ng bagong pag-unawa o argumento.
• Organisadong Estruktura : Karaniwang nakaayos ito sa isang lohikal na paraan upang madali itong maunawaan.

Halimbawa ng Sintesis

Sa isang papel tungkol sa epekto ng pagbabago ng klima, maaaring pagsamahin ang mga impormasyon mula sa mga pag-aaral tungkol sa temperatura, pagkatunaw ng yelo, at epekto sa agrikultura. Ang sintesis ay magbibigay ng kabuuang larawan ng sitwasyon, na nag-uugnay sa mga datos at naglalahad ng mga posibleng solusyon.

Madalas na ginagamit ang sintesis upang ipakita ang mas malalim na pag-unawa sa isang paksa.

MGA KAHULUGAN SA TAGALOG

síntesís : pagsasaayos ng magkakahiwalay na mga bahagi túngo sa kabuuan

síntesís : sa operasyon, paghuhugpong ng mga bahaging magkakahiwalay, gaya ng isang organ

Education Research Synthesis: A Comprehensive Literature Review for Education Professionals

Education research synthesis is crucial for guiding professionals to improve their educational practices and understand the best methods. It facilitates the comprehensive analysis of different research findings, providing educators with greater context for their work. This article reviews the purpose of education research synthesis, methods and strategies, and their value for education professionals.

Table of Contents

The Importance of Education Research Synthesis

Education research synthesis is a focused review and analysis of existing research on a particular topic or question related to education. It enables educators and education professionals to:

• Draw clear conclusions and develop evidence-based practices
• Bridge the gap between research findings and practical applications
• Identify trends, patterns, and coherences
• Understand the effectiveness of current policies and interventions
• Enhance the quantity and quality of research in education
• Foster communication and collaboration among researchers and educators

Through a comprehensive review of education research synthesis, educators are better equipped to make informed decisions in their teaching practices and further their professional development.

Essential Methods and Strategies for Education Research Synthesis

Literature review.

A literature review is integral to education research synthesis, involving a comprehensive search of scholarly sources on a specific subject. The goal is to identify and contextualize relevant research within the broader educational landscape. There are four main types of literature review:

• Narrative review : Explores and analyzes the literature qualitatively, discussing various themes, findings, and gaps in the research.
• Scoping review : Maps the current state of research and identifies gaps, often serving as a preliminary step before embarking on a systematic review.
• Systematic review : A structured, focused, and transparent process of searching, selecting, assessing, and synthesizing research evidence to answer a specific research question.
• Meta-analysis : A statistical method for combining the results of multiple studies to produce a single, pooled estimate of the effect of an intervention or the association between variables.

Education professionals can remain up-to-date by conducting literature reviews and basing their practice on research-backed findings.

Data Synthesis Approaches

Several data synthesis approaches exist within education research synthesis, each catering to different types of studies and research questions:

• Thematic synthesis : Identifies common themes and patterns across studies, allowing for a deeper understanding of the subject.
• Meta-ethnography : A qualitative approach to synthesizing research findings by translating and comparing the concepts and relationships identified within studies.
• Critical interpretive synthesis : Combines elements of a systematic review with more traditional narrative reviews, focusing on interpretive and explanatory analysis.
• Realist synthesis : An approach concentrating on understanding the causal mechanisms underlying interventions and policies, helping determine what works, for whom, and under what circumstances.
• Content analysis : A systematic method used to analyze and interpret textual or visual data, organizing and categorizing the material to find trends or patterns.

Quality Assessment and Bias Assessment

To ensure the reliability of education research synthesis, researchers must perform quality and bias assessments by evaluating the methodology, design, execution, and the risk of biases that could distort the results in each study.

• Quality assessment : A set of criteria that examine various aspects of a study, such as the appropriateness of research questions, the rigor of data collection, and the representativeness of the findings.
• Bias assessment : Identifies potential sources of bias within research, such as selection bias, measurement bias, confounding, and publication bias, which could impact study outcomes.

By assessing research quality and identifying potential biases, education professionals can enhance the validity of their research synthesis and derive more accurate conclusions.

The Value of Education Research Synthesis for Education Professionals

Education research synthesis provides several benefits to education professionals, ultimately leading to better educational practices:

• Informed decision-making : By synthesizing research findings, education professionals understand current best practices, leading to evidence-based decision-making.
• Continuing professional development : Engaging with research synthesis fosters an ongoing learning environment, keeping educators informed of new theories, pedagogical approaches, and technological advancements.
• Policy and intervention evaluation : Education research synthesis helps assess the efficacy of current policies and interventions, offering insights to guide improvements.
• Identifying gaps in knowledge : Comprehensive literature reviews can identify areas needing further research, providing education professionals with potential topics for future studies.
• Improved communication : Research synthesis encourages dialogue among researchers, educators, policymakers, and other education professionals, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Educational equity : By identifying which interventions are most effective for specific student populations, research synthesis can help educators address disparities and promote educational equity.

Conclusion: The Path to Enlightened Education

Education research synthesis is essential for enhancing our understanding of the educational landscape and forming better-informed practices. By leveraging literature reviews, data synthesis approaches, and quality and bias assessments, educators can stay updated on current research findings and apply them to their work. The benefits of education research synthesis extend to professional development, policy evaluation, and fostering a collaborative community among education professionals. Actively engaging in research synthesis will help foster a culture of evidence-based practice, ultimately leading to better educational outcomes for all students.

What Is A Synthesis Of Research? Meaning And Types Of This Form

SYNTHESIS OF RESEARCH – In this topic, we will learn and discuss the meaning and types of synthesis of research.

According to the Michigan State of University , a synthesis is a written discussion that is based on one or more sources. The ability to write this depends on the ability to make connections among sources, may it be in essays, articles, fiction, as well as non-written sources such as lectures, interviews and observations.

If a person has the capacity or the skill to write research papers, then technically he/she already has the ability to even write a synthesis.

Since it is based on two or more sources, a person has to be selective when selecting an information from each.

• This helps readers to understand and comprehend a topic. Those who write this explain when they divide a subject into parts and present them to the reader.
• Its purpose is to present the facts in a reasonably objective matter rather than arguing a particular point.
• Its purpose is to present the writer’s point of view that is supported by relevant facts that are drawn from sources and are presented in a logical manner.
• Ideas and claims must be supported by sources
• Original thought and insightful analysis are required for a 4.0, 3.5 or 3.0 paper.
• 2.5 and below papers summarize one point at a time
• Address the audience in an appropriate matter.
• Organize the paper logically
• Develop each main idea thoroughly
• Use words accurately. Use a dictionary when in doubt.
• Sentences must be clear and unambiguous.
• Quadruple check
• Give the essay a descriptive and attention-catching title
• Essay should be formatted correctly

Synthesizing Sources | Examples & Synthesis Matrix

Published on July 4, 2022 by Eoghan Ryan . Revised on May 31, 2023.

Synthesizing sources involves combining the work of other scholars to provide new insights. It’s a way of integrating sources that helps situate your work in relation to existing research.

Synthesizing sources involves more than just summarizing . You must emphasize how each source contributes to current debates, highlighting points of (dis)agreement and putting the sources in conversation with each other.

You might synthesize sources in your literature review to give an overview of the field or throughout your research paper when you want to position your work in relation to existing research.

Table of contents

Example of synthesizing sources, how to synthesize sources, synthesis matrix, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about synthesizing sources.

Let’s take a look at an example where sources are not properly synthesized, and then see what can be done to improve it.

This paragraph provides no context for the information and does not explain the relationships between the sources described. It also doesn’t analyze the sources or consider gaps in existing research.

Research on the barriers to second language acquisition has primarily focused on age-related difficulties. Building on Lenneberg’s (1967) theory of a critical period of language acquisition, Johnson and Newport (1988) tested Lenneberg’s idea in the context of second language acquisition. Their research seemed to confirm that young learners acquire a second language more easily than older learners. Recent research has considered other potential barriers to language acquisition. Schepens, van Hout, and van der Slik (2022) have revealed that the difficulties of learning a second language at an older age are compounded by dissimilarity between a learner’s first language and the language they aim to acquire. Further research needs to be carried out to determine whether the difficulty faced by adult monoglot speakers is also faced by adults who acquired a second language during the “critical period.”

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

To synthesize sources, group them around a specific theme or point of contention.

As you read sources, ask:

• What questions or ideas recur? Do the sources focus on the same points, or do they look at the issue from different angles?
• How does each source relate to others? Does it confirm or challenge the findings of past research?
• Where do the sources agree or disagree?

Once you have a clear idea of how each source positions itself, put them in conversation with each other. Analyze and interpret their points of agreement and disagreement. This displays the relationships among sources and creates a sense of coherence.

Consider both implicit and explicit (dis)agreements. Whether one source specifically refutes another or just happens to come to different conclusions without specifically engaging with it, you can mention it in your synthesis either way.

Synthesize your sources using:

• Topic sentences to introduce the relationship between the sources
• Signal phrases to attribute ideas to their authors
• Transition words and phrases to link together different ideas

To more easily determine the similarities and dissimilarities among your sources, you can create a visual representation of their main ideas with a synthesis matrix . This is a tool that you can use when researching and writing your paper, not a part of the final text.

In a synthesis matrix, each column represents one source, and each row represents a common theme or idea among the sources. In the relevant rows, fill in a short summary of how the source treats each theme or topic.

This helps you to clearly see the commonalities or points of divergence among your sources. You can then synthesize these sources in your work by explaining their relationship.

Synthesizing sources means comparing and contrasting the work of other scholars to provide new insights.

It involves analyzing and interpreting the points of agreement and disagreement among sources.

You might synthesize sources in your literature review to give an overview of the field of research or throughout your paper when you want to contribute something new to existing research.

A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources (such as books, journal articles, and theses) related to a specific topic or research question .

It is often written as part of a thesis, dissertation , or research paper , in order to situate your work in relation to existing knowledge.

Topic sentences help keep your writing focused and guide the reader through your argument.

In an essay or paper , each paragraph should focus on a single idea. By stating the main idea in the topic sentence, you clarify what the paragraph is about for both yourself and your reader.

At college level, you must properly cite your sources in all essays , research papers , and other academic texts (except exams and in-class exercises).

Add a citation whenever you quote , paraphrase , or summarize information or ideas from a source. You should also give full source details in a bibliography or reference list at the end of your text.

The exact format of your citations depends on which citation style you are instructed to use. The most common styles are APA , MLA , and Chicago .

When you write a literature review or essay, you have to go beyond just summarizing the articles you’ve read – you need to synthesize the literature to show how it all fits together (and how your own research fits in).

Synthesizing simply means combining. Instead of summarizing the main points of each source in turn, you put together the ideas and findings of multiple sources in order to make an overall point.

At the most basic level, this involves looking for similarities and differences between your sources. Your synthesis should show the reader where the sources overlap and where they diverge.

Unsynthesized Example

Franz (2008) studied undergraduate online students. He looked at 17 females and 18 males and found that none of them liked APA. According to Franz, the evidence suggested that all students are reluctant to learn citations style. Perez (2010) also studies undergraduate students. She looked at 42 females and 50 males and found that males were significantly more inclined to use citation software ( p < .05). Findings suggest that females might graduate sooner. Goldstein (2012) looked at British undergraduates. Among a sample of 50, all females, all confident in their abilities to cite and were eager to write their dissertations.

Synthesized Example

Studies of undergraduate students reveal conflicting conclusions regarding relationships between advanced scholarly study and citation efficacy. Although Franz (2008) found that no participants enjoyed learning citation style, Goldstein (2012) determined in a larger study that all participants watched felt comfortable citing sources, suggesting that variables among participant and control group populations must be examined more closely. Although Perez (2010) expanded on Franz’s original study with a larger, more diverse sample…

Step 1: Organize your sources

After collecting the relevant literature, you’ve got a lot of information to work through, and no clear idea of how it all fits together.

Before you can start writing, you need to organize your notes in a way that allows you to see the relationships between sources.

One way to begin synthesizing the literature is to put your notes into a table. Depending on your topic and the type of literature you’re dealing with, there are a couple of different ways you can organize this.

Summary table

A summary table collates the key points of each source under consistent headings. This is a good approach if your sources tend to have a similar structure – for instance, if they’re all empirical papers.

Each row in the table lists one source, and each column identifies a specific part of the source. You can decide which headings to include based on what’s most relevant to the literature you’re dealing with.

For example, you might include columns for things like aims, methods, variables, population, sample size, and conclusion.

For each study, you briefly summarize each of these aspects. You can also include columns for your own evaluation and analysis.

The summary table gives you a quick overview of the key points of each source. This allows you to group sources by relevant similarities, as well as noticing important differences or contradictions in their findings.

Synthesis matrix

A synthesis matrix is useful when your sources are more varied in their purpose and structure – for example, when you’re dealing with books and essays making various different arguments about a topic.

Each column in the table lists one source. Each row is labeled with a specific concept, topic or theme that recurs across all or most of the sources.

Then, for each source, you summarize the main points or arguments related to the theme.

The purposes of the table is to identify the common points that connect the sources, as well as identifying points where they diverge or disagree.

Step 2: Outline your structure

Now you should have a clear overview of the main connections and differences between the sources you’ve read. Next, you need to decide how you’ll group them together and the order in which you’ll discuss them.

For shorter papers, your outline can just identify the focus of each paragraph; for longer papers, you might want to divide it into sections with headings.

There are a few different approaches you can take to help you structure your synthesis.

If your sources cover a broad time period, and you found patterns in how researchers approached the topic over time, you can organize your discussion chronologically .

That doesn’t mean you just summarize each paper in chronological order; instead, you should group articles into time periods and identify what they have in common, as well as signalling important turning points or developments in the literature.

If the literature covers various different topics, you can organize it thematically .

That means that each paragraph or section focuses on a specific theme and explains how that theme is approached in the literature.

Source Used with Permission: The Chicago School

If you’re drawing on literature from various different fields or they use a wide variety of research methods, you can organize your sources methodologically .

That means grouping together studies based on the type of research they did and discussing the findings that emerged from each method.

If your topic involves a debate between different schools of thought, you can organize it theoretically .

That means comparing the different theories that have been developed and grouping together papers based on the position or perspective they take on the topic, as well as evaluating which arguments are most convincing.

Step 3: Write paragraphs with topic sentences

What sets a synthesis apart from a summary is that it combines various sources. The easiest way to think about this is that each paragraph should discuss a few different sources, and you should be able to condense the overall point of the paragraph into one sentence.

This is called a topic sentence , and it usually appears at the start of the paragraph. The topic sentence signals what the whole paragraph is about; every sentence in the paragraph should be clearly related to it.

A topic sentence can be a simple summary of the paragraph’s content:

“Early research on [x] focused heavily on [y].”

For an effective synthesis, you can use topic sentences to link back to the previous paragraph, highlighting a point of debate or critique:

“Several scholars have pointed out the flaws in this approach.” “While recent research has attempted to address the problem, many of these studies have methodological flaws that limit their validity.”

By using topic sentences, you can ensure that your paragraphs are coherent and clearly show the connections between the articles you are discussing.

As you write your paragraphs, avoid quoting directly from sources: use your own words to explain the commonalities and differences that you found in the literature.

Don’t try to cover every single point from every single source – the key to synthesizing is to extract the most important and relevant information and combine it to give your reader an overall picture of the state of knowledge on your topic.

Step 4: Revise, edit and proofread

Like any other piece of academic writing, synthesizing literature doesn’t happen all in one go – it involves redrafting, revising, editing and proofreading your work.

Checklist for Synthesis

•   Do I introduce the paragraph with a clear, focused topic sentence?
•   Do I discuss more than one source in the paragraph?
•   Do I mention only the most relevant findings, rather than describing every part of the studies?
•   Do I discuss the similarities or differences between the sources, rather than summarizing each source in turn?
•   Do I put the findings or arguments of the sources in my own words?
•   Is the paragraph organized around a single idea?
•   Is the paragraph directly relevant to my research question or topic?
•   Is there a logical transition from this paragraph to the next one?

This research article describes and presents an overview of the contemporary art forms and performance practices from the various regions in the Philippines. Visiting contemporary art exhibitions and talking about living artists is an important aspect of appraising the culture of the Philippine arts with awareness and appreciation. This study used a descriptive method to gather information about existing conditions in which the library method and literature review were utilized in gathering and synthesizing the articles and scientific papers related to contemporary Philippine art. The data were analyzed through synthesis information known as explanatory synthesis through the use of eight criteria in analyzing the reviews such as painting and other visual arts, architecture, sculpture and installation, literature, music, dance, cinema, and theater and performance. Conclusion of the results and discussions, contemporary Philippine art encompasses a wide range of art forms and constantly redefines and dismantles traditional categories of arts. Philippine traditional art has always been an integral part of daily life, as well as the dominant and alternative art forms. Its importance endures not only in its aesthetic representation but also in its functionality and its significance to the society that created it. As the dominant, alternative, and traditional art forms may be used in everyday private circumstances, it is encountered more closely and possesses many senses concurrently.
