Study Notes

Chapter 1 Components

  • Chapter 1 contains 6 components for research studies
  • This includes the rationale, problem statement, conceptual framework, significance, scope/delimitations, and definition of terms.

Chapter 2 / Lesson 7: Review of Related Literature (RRL) Objectives

  • RRL includes the definition, how to differentiate sources and the steps to write it, and it's value as the backbone of the research study
  • What is RRL?
  • What is the difference between RRL and Related Research Studies (RRS)?
  • Why is RRL important?
  • What citation styles should be used?
  • How many RRL should be used?
  • Where can RRL be found?
  • How can RRL be written?

RRL Helps With

  • Theoretical Framework
  • Conceptual Framework
  • Identifying the Research Gap
  • Validity of the research problem

Challenges of RRL

  • Finding relevant information for research.
  • Finding updated research is difficult to find sometimes
  • It can be a time consuming part of research

Literature Review

  • A Literature Review's purpose, types, and how to select what you want

Definition of Terms

  • The definition of terms are important to be defined
  • This includes published information like books, journals, articles and other academic sources that will provide valuable information, insights and general information
  • Helps serve as a reference for methodology, findings and study recommendations
  • Related literature consists of published materials which provide background knowledge.
  • Related studies serves as a reference, allowing researchers to compare their research with existing ones

Theoretical Framework

  • Involves theories and principles that support the study

Conceptual Framework

  • Framework illustrates how the study is structured.
  • This is often presented as a diagram or model.

Research Gap

  • Research Gap highlights what has not been studied yet and justifies how the study is necessary

Synthesis of Literature and Studies

  • Researchers summarize and integrate the literature and studies they have reviewed
  • This helps create a strong foundation for the studys goals and hypothesis

Literature

  • Literature is an oral or written record of significant human experiences conveyed in a prosaic or artistic manner

Literature Review / Review of Related Literature (RRL)

Different Types of Traditional Reviews

  • Conceptual - analysis of concepts on world issues
  • Critical - examine results of hypothesis on various situations
  • State of the Art - latest research reviews
  • Expert - utilizes a well-known expert
  • Scoping - prepares a research situation for future work

Systematic Review of Literature

  • This RRL style involves sequential acts for review of other related fields

Selecting the Literature for a Study

  • Ask is clear delimitation of your study present?
  • Ask are essential variables properly presented and insightful??
  • Ask is the literature up-to-date?
  • Ask does the provided literature accurately show results/conclusions?
  • Ask does this present opposing ideas to help identify research gaps?

Conducting a Review

  • Decide on area to search
  • Search for literature
  • Find relevant excerpts in books/articles

Four Types of Reading

  • Elementary: Sentence comprehension/Word-recognition
  • Systematic: Skimming to focus on highlighted terms
  • Analytic: Requires the researcher to break scholarly work into parts
  • Comparative: Analyzes two or more scholarly works

How to Code Literature

  • Tools for reading and review:
  • Highlighting: Use marks to revisit important ideas in scholarly work
  • Annotation: Use written remarks of phrases and sentences that reflect understanding of scholarly work

Conceptual Schema

  • Created in table form with rows "Study 1, Study 2, etc." and columns "Source, Problem or Purpose, Design, Sample, Methods, Instruments, Findings"

Writing a Literature Review

  • Introduction: Discusses research problem and significance
  • Body: Includes narratives of relevant thoughts and data to support research problem
  • Synthesis: Ties main ideas together, overall view
  • Bibliography: Full bibliography of the sources with the format depending on writing style

Kinds of Sources

General References

  • First accessed sources of information: research articles, journals, books, conference proceedings, and documents
  • Example: Current Index of Journals in Education

Primary Sources

  • Contains direct findings communicated to readers
  • Provides first-hand information from researcher publications
  • Example: Academic and research journals published by universities

Secondary Sources

  • Summaries or interpretations of research
  • Written by those that describe another researchers work
  • Example: Textbooks and single-authored books

Tertiary Sources

  • Synthesizes and explains the work of others
  • Consists of books and articles based on secondary sources

Introduction

  • This discusses briefly the research problem and the significance of the study

Body

  • This contains a narrative of relevant ideas and findings to support the research problem

Synthesis

  • How the synthesis ties together the main points review

Bibliography

  • Provides full bibliographic information of all sources
  • The format depends on the writing style adopted in the report.
