pr2 5-6 Flashcards
criteria in use of RRL
- ethical standards in writing related literature
- formulation of conceptual framework
- research hypothesis
definition of terms as used in the study
A good literature review must be
- An academic text that provides an overview of a particular topic
- It helps to identify known and not known subject of the study
- It involves the use of Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)
academic texts should be
- organized in a specific way
- they have a clear structure.
- This structure makes it easier for your reader to navigate your text and understand the material
better. - It also makes it easier for you to organize your material.
- The structure of an academic text should be clear throughout the text and within each section,
paragraph and even sentence
functions of related literature
- It establishes the relevance of the study.
- It further helps in establishing research gap that the study intends to fill.
- It provide important information about your topic and the concepts related to it.
- It presents contradictions between and among previous literature.
- Justifies your research methodology based on previous studies relevant to your research; and
- Presents and discusses your theoretical and conceptual frameworks which are the backbone of your study
Key Points in Literature Review
- This is not a summary of all the literature that you read, but rather an exposition or background
knowledge for further search. - This can be placed or found in various sections of the study like introduction, literature review and
discussion. - An intelligent synthesis of the literature must be presented in the research paper.
- An effective and practical management of collected literature will facilitate both the analysis and
synthesis of literature
Strategies for effective summarizing
- Read and understand content.
- Annotate the text
- Take note of essential information for bibliographical citation.
- Identify main idea and write using your own words.
- Combine sentences and make it coherent using appropriate cohesive devices.
- Avoid adding comments.
- Avoid repeating ideas unnecessarily.
- Compare summary to the original text
It is the use of someone’ else’s words or ideas, and passing them off as your own
plagiarism
Steps in drafting the related literature
- Get a model paper that deals with a topic similar to yours
- Divide the literature review into two subsections
- Write a synthesis
- Survey all possible sources
a part of the study that “explains, either graphical or narrative form the main things (key factors variables, concepts, and theories) to be studied and the presumed relationships among them
Conceptual Framework
the symbol that indicates a “cause and effect” relationship
ARROW (⟶)
symbol used when causality is not established
LINE (─)
is may be formulated from an existing theory/ies as the foundation of the study
Theoretical Framework
another term used to call the theoretical framework
research paradigm
is the result of the clear understanding of the conceptual or theoretical framework in a diagrammatic presentation of the study
paradigm of the study
Strategies in developing your conceptual framework
- Identify key concepts/variables of your study from the research questions or objectives for alignment.
- Search supportive theories of key concepts/variables and its relationships.
- Using the theories as guide, plot your conceptual framework using a concept map.
- Key concepts/variables not supported by theories but are needed in the study can be incorporated into
the conceptual framework. - Write a narrative explanation of each concept and how are they related to one another
