What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the nature of Inquiries, Investigations and Immersion. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow
the standard sequence of the course.
This is comprised of two different lessons that are congruent to one another. These
are the following:

What I Know
Write T if the statement is True and F if otherwise. Write your answers on your
notebook.
4. Synthesis and analysis usually go together when you are synthesizing your
Review of Related Literature.
5. Synthesis determines the question, “Which sources overlap or share the same
opinion/findings?”
6. A synthesis answers the question, “Have the researcher found any common
traits or themes in the research literature?”
7. Synthesizing Review of Related Literature should not just tell us what the
research tells us but should also identify what the research does not tell us.
8. Synthesis draws conclusion about the findings in the literature so that you
can identify how the literature addresses your research question.
9. In the process of synthesizing the literature review of the researcher, “the new
whole” are the findings that the researcher gathered and read.
10.The conclusion that the researcher draw from the gathered findings of the
researcher is called the “new whole”.

Lesson Synthesizing Review of
1 Related Literature
As a researcher and a writer of an academic paper, it is just right to know the proper
way of synthesizing findings coming from sources that researchers will put on their
manuscript.

What’s New
Read carefully the given citations used by the researcher on her study entitled The
Online Distance Learning: Its Impact to Students Performance.
According to Panigrahi et.al. (2018) proposed that the integration of virtual
communities to online learning platforms may cause a better outcome and
engagement. Also, Picciano (2002) found out in his study that the success of
many online course is dependent upon the nature of student to student and
student to faculty interaction. Moreover, in the study of Salamat et.al. (2018)
they highlighted that e-learning provides time flexibility to the students and it
motivates students to do their work without the help of others. Furthermore,
through their study they have found out that the students feel more comfortable
when they are using the internet. Salamat et.al (2018) concluded the e-learning
system in education is effective for students.

1. Did the researcher use the American Psychological Association (APA) citation
style? Prove your answer in two (2) to three(3) sentences. (5pts)
2. What do you think are the commonalities and differences of the information
that the researcher mentioned above? (5pts)
What is It
As the researcher progresses on the paper that she writes, it is just right that she
must conduct a synthesis of RRL for her to be able to identify the strength and
weaknesses of each of the sources that she has cite on her manuscript. Most of the
student-researcher nowadays takes a hard time to scholarly synthesize an
information.
Let us discuss in a comprehensible way on how you will synthesize all the
information that you have on your Review of Related Literature.

differences and draw conclusion. Synthesizing a collection of RRL combines parts
and elements from a variety of sources into one unified and integrated entity.
-Did the author used similar conceptual and theoretical framework, sample
participants, methodologies, or instruments and procedures to collect data?
Remember you should be noting not only the articles that are similar but how they
are similar.
-Did the authors used different conceptual and theoretical framework, sample
participants, methodologies, or instruments and procedures to collect data?
-How and in what ways are the findings different and contradictory?
This step determines general observations and conclusions about each topic given
the relationship inferred from the group of articles within each topic. It also
determines the existence of any reoccurring concepts, relationships, patterns, or
themes and if any of these are in need of further inquiry.
For instance, on your three different sources you have found out different themes
such as theme A, theme B, and theme C. You might compare and contrast things on
those three themes that emerged on your sources. Consequently, it may also happen
that there is one seminal study done that all other researchers expanded upon. If
you will to ask if there are overall themes that are used in a review of related
literature, the answer is whatever the theme or pattern appeared on your information
gathered, try to infer beyond what was indicated on your collection of sources. In order
for you to have a well-developed synthesis of your study, one must use their ability
7
of having the “higher ordered thinking skills”. Through your HOTS you will be able
to write objectively and constructively. Also, you can provide ideas clearly, logically
organized, and focused writing.
Note: A key element to make a good synthesis of review of related literature is the
integration, which is about making connections between and among ideas and
concepts. It is about applying what you have researching within a larger framework,
thereby providing you a new way of looking onto a phenomenon.
Here is a diagram which will help you synthesize and analyze your literature
review.
What is the
background of
the researcher’s
participant?.
The studies mentioned above, focussed on finding out the connection of students
performance while students were engaged in an online class. They further noted that
while a student has an access to education using online media, it may gleaned that a
student can perform well on his academics. In addition, both of the studies above
shown that there is really an impact between students’ performance and online
distance learning.
