Categorization of selected studies and analyses were undertaken with respect to the research method, participants in the study, publication year, purposes, findings, and the location(s) in which the study was conducted. The review of the studies provided information related to current literature as well as providing recommendations for further studies and proving implications to improve the practice of pedagogical documentation.
