    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.

    • 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)

    • Research Paper Assignment Directions:

      • Select two out of three sources.
      • Determine if the source is credible and justify your answer.
      • Analyze sources (don't need to go online).
