unit 4 lesson 1 Flashcards
is the process of collecting and synthesizing information from multiple
sources.
literature review
serve as an overall guide to refine the research questions and objectives of the study, and as a reference for the methodology and
discussion of the results of the study.
Literature Review
All the information in the literature review must
be ______,________, ________ to the direction of the study.
pertinent, credible, and contributive
Literature sources can be categorized into two types:
primary sources and secondary sources.
are references that contain information, which were observed or witnessed
firsthand by the author
Primary sources
should be prioritized when searching for references for a literature review
Primary sources
they usually contain more advanced information.
Primary Sources
There are different types of primary sources:
journal articles, video and audio recordings, survey data, and statistical data.
are scholarly articles compiled in peer-reviewed journals that were
classified according to the field of study.
Journal articles
These are considered as the top choice for primary
sources in terms of validity and credibility.
Journal articles
requires a peer review process
and verification conducted by a panel of experts on the topic.
A journal article
contributes to the credibility of a journal article because of the strenuous process it undergoes before being published
peer review process
An example of a peer-reviewed journal in the Philippines is the
Philippine Journal of Science by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Video and audio recordings are primary sources that are commonly used in
qualitative research
These media recordings capture and document
firsthand the phenomena that the researcher seeks to observe further.
For research work in the natural sciences, video recordings often focus on
laboratory subjects.
In the social sciences, video and audio recordings are used to document events in their
natural settings.
are considered raw data
because the recordings per se have not been subjected to data analysis.
video and audio recordings
However, these
recordings are still considered relevant primary sources because of their ability to store
firsthand observations, which can be used as the basis for data analysis.
are the outputs of surveys conducted by surveying bodies that may be
government institutions, nongovernmental organizations, private groups, or even
individuals.

Statistical data
Examples of statistical data are _____, which can include a compilation of numerical data on annual family income, household composition, and food
prices.
poverty statistics
Similar to survey data, statistical data are more commonly used in
quantitative research.
are references that contain information based on primary sources.
Secondary sources
may be the interpretation, review, or analysis of information found in
primary sources.
Secondary sources
The information presented in ___________ is not observed firsthand
by the author of the material.
secondary sources
Common examples of secondary sources include the following:
scientific review articles, news or magazine articles, and textbooks.
contains a summary and a review of previous and current findings on a particular topic
scientific review article
are based on published journal articles.
Scientific review articles
They use multiple peer-reviewed journal articles to give a comprehensive and
exhaustive view of the topic.
scientific review article
useful to any writer doing a literature review, whether qualitative or quantitative research.
scientific review article
may also be published in peer-reviewed journals,
scientific review article
are useful for both qualitative and quantitative research
studies.
News or magazine articles
The
contents of these materials can be used to support the existence of facts about a topic.
News or magazine articles
hese articles do not contain in-depth analyses and just present descriptions of
data.
News or magazine articles
may also be written from different points of view depending
on the writer and the publisher.
News or magazine articles
are materials containing information from highly specific subjects to broader
fields.
Textbooks
are considered as secondary sources because most of the contents of
textbooks are compiled by the authors from published reference books on a particular topic.
Textbooks
are often used in educational institutions because they contain exercises or activities that can test students’ mastery of a topic.
Textbooks
