Literature review
comprises scholarly publications that report original empirical and theoretical work in the
natural and social sciences, and within an academic field, often abbreviated as the literature.
Scientific literature
is a critical account of what has been published on a topic by accredited researchers.
Scientific literature
are the primary means of disseminating the findings of scientific study, and it serves as a
permanent record of the scientific community’s accomplishments over time.
Scientific Literature
A lack of information or knowledge in a particular research area.
Blind spot/ Research gap
These are the things that are not yet covered by the study
Blank Spot
a type of literature review in which it presents the current research by merging it
into a wider framework or a larger body of knowledge and determine its contribution and impact to the specific field of study.
Context Review
a specialized type of literature review in which the researcher organizes the
related researches according to the period of time it was conducted.
Historical Review
a common type of literature review in which the researcher introduces and
summarizes the recent knowledge of the study.
Integrative Review
a literature review in which the researcher demonstrates his or her
understanding of a specific body of knowledge.
Self-study Review
a literature review in which the researcher introduces several theories or concepts that are focused on a specific topic. It is particular on the theories and concepts being highlighted on other researches and compare them to the current study basing on its framework, hypothesis, consistency, and justification.
Theoretical Review
– researchers opportunity during the masteral program. It is a compilation of research that proves you are knowledgeable about the information learn throughout your graduate program.
Theses

theories or practices to your field.
Dissertation
- Articles are written by a scholar in the field and the researcher is always
identified

robotics
a category of a research problem which is more concerned with an inventive new
product or service than with an incremental one.
innovation
These include journal papers, conference papers, monographic series,
technical reports, theses, and dissertations.
Primary Literature
These include reviews, monographs, textbooks, treatises, handbooks, and manuals. These take time to produce and usually cite key “primary” publications on the topic.
Secondary Literature
also known as the introduction section, is typically the part of a paper or manuscript that is read the most and is usually read first by readers
Research Background
it refers to the detailed plan or strategy that outlines how researchers intend to
conduct a research study. It is a framework for every stage of the collection and analysis of data.
Research Design
- is a structure that organizes and presents the key concepts, variables, and relationships in a study
Conceptual framework
is a set of interconnected concepts, definitions, and propositions that
presents a systematic view of phenomena by specifying relationships among variables.
Theoretical framework
Specifying a way data to be collected is not the main purpose of a _________
hypothesis
The purpose of the __________ section in a research paper is to explain why the research is important or necessary
introduction
One of the potential drawback of using only one source is that the research paper
lacks ____
diverse perspectives on the topic.
The very first step in identifying a theoretical dilemma to solve through experimentation
is to _________
find a topic.
One of the purpose of including major variables in a research title is to summarize the
_________
main idea of the paper.
The purpose of describing the background of research is to present a _____ and ______
historical and theoretical context for the study.
In choosing a topic for a scientific problem, do not choose the one that is easiest or
just because your teacher suggests but rather __________
make a list of potential topics and
choose the one that interests you the most.
The function of research is that it obtains ________
knowledge for practical use like solving
problem.
T or F. The question “Which aspects of classes make them more enjoyable for high school students?” is too broad in scope.
T
A _____________must be the problem which causes concern for everyone.
research problem
A research title with a scientific name be made more understandable to non-expert readers through using __________
common names for the subject in addition to the scientific name.
_________ of some senior high school students is the problem does the study wish to
solve
Tardiness
What makes a problem researchable is that when a phenomenon requires ____________
explanation.
A ___________ is a research question that aims to determine
the significant relationship between the variables under study.
relationship-based research question
Importance of RRL:
It guides the researcher in selecting a best research problem or
topic.
In hypothesis test: the null hypothesis is not rejected unless there is ______________
sufficient evidence
to reject it.
A __________ is a research question that aims to determine the
significant difference between groups or sets of tests on groups.
comparative research question
The purpose of research is to(3)
inform action,
to prove or generate a theory and
to augment knowledge
A research problem is typically characterized by being ______, focusing
on a particular aspect or issue within a broader field of study.
specific and narrow,
T or F. In research title, changes is allowed even if it’s approved by the adviser/panel.
T
T or F. A research title typically does not mention every single participant and setting involved
in the study.
T
Funding source of the study can potentially introduce _____, as researchers funded by

bias
Example Research Question: Is there a significant difference between the level of motivation of male
and female Grade 12 students? Null and alternative?

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) - There is a significant difference between the level of motivation of
male and female Grade 12 students

Do you need to reference a quotation if you put it in my own words?
Yes, it is okay but you must still acknowledge the original source by inserting an in-text citation and include the full reference in your
reference list to avoid accusations of plagiarism.
Characteristic of a Good Research Title

* Include major variables
* Show the relationship of the main variable under study
* Include the major task of the researcher
* Mention the participants and setting in genera
3 Key Points of Literature Review

- how the research was carried out (methodologies)
- what is missing (gap
