Study Notes
Learning From Others and Reviewing the Literature
-
Practical Research 1, Quarter 2
-
Content Standard: Learners demonstrate understanding of citing and synthesizing related literature, and ethical standards in writing related literature.
-
Performance Standard: Learners can select, cite, and synthesize related literature; use sources according to ethical standards; and present a written review of related literature.
-
Review of Related Literature and Study
-
What I Know: Pre-test
-
Activity 1: Keeping track and writing down research title and formulated research questions to know your craft
-
Question: Finding related studies to formulate the research title and questions
-
What is Literature Review?
- An academic text that provides an overview of a topic.
- Helps identify what's known and unknown about a subject of study.
- Involves synthesizing multiple scholarly works.
- Provides an overview of what has been written about a particular topic.
-
Functions of Literature Review:
- Establishes the study's relevance.
- Helps establish the research gap the study aims to fill.
- Provides information about the topic and related concepts.
- Presents contradictions among previous literature.
- Justifies the research methodology.
- Presents and discusses the theoretical frameworks, which are the backbone of the study
-
How to Select Relevant Literature:
- Use the 4Wh+1H questions from Lee et al.
- Who: Look for author's name, affiliations, background, field of expertise, and credibility (student, professor, researcher, or book writer). Check their institution.
- Who published the material: Is the publisher a legitimate publication? Check their policies and guidelines, avoid predatory journals (website exists).
- Who are the experts cited: Check if the paper cited primary sources (preferred) over secondary sources and references relevant experts in the field.
- What was said about the topic: Get the gist by reading the abstract - is the literature relevant to the present work? Check if author's claims agree or disagree with others. Use concept maps/graphic organizers to compare and contrast works.
- What's the mode of the material: Is this a book, blog, journal, e-journal, periodical, or internet article? Be careful of editable online materials; only use indexed and refereed journal publications.
- When was the material published: Research books often suggest within the last five to ten years; however, this isn't always the case (Lee et al., 2014).
- Where was the material published?: Needed for reference citation.
- Use the 4Wh+1H questions from Lee et al.
-
Where to Place Materials: Literature isn’t limited to Chapter 2 Review of Related Literature; it can be included throughout (introduction, framework, data commentary etc.)
-
Why is the material necessary?
- Discern if sources are highly relevant to current work.
- Use research variables as key terms for locating sources; be aware of potential overload of online materials.
-
How will the material affect the discussion?
- Too much citation of authorities can dilute your voice.
- Balance other people's work with your contribution; avoid frequent citation of single authors.
-
Summarize
- Who? Author's affiliation
- What? Conceptualize source similarity or difference
- When? Publication date
- Where? Publication location
- Why? Relevance of the source to the study
- How? Let your voice be heard in your actual paper
-
Characteristics of a Good Literature Review:
- Materials should be as recent as possible.
- Materials should be objective and unbiased.
- Materials should be relevant to the study.
- There should be adequate, but not excessive, materials.
-
Performance Tasks
- Paper Trail
- Electronic Trail
- Human Trail
-
Rubrics (for evaluation)
