SEATWORK
8. What is the purpose of including related literature and studies in
your research?
The purpose of the related literature is to gather all the info and to
clarify the different variables that is being studied and also to boost
the confidence and knowledge of the researcher.
Related Literature
Related literature is also called conceptual literature. Gathering literature related to the
research is very important to clarify the different variables being studied. The related
literature removes any vagueness surrounding concepts central to the study. If the
review of related literature and studies are gathered appropriately and adequately, the
different research variables and the delimitation of the study is determined. The
indicators per variable are likewise identified and objectively established. All indicators
are clearly based on reading articles from different published materials like reference
books, textbooks, manuals, encyclopedias, dictionaries, bulletins, broadsheets, journals,
periodicals, etc. In addition to these printed sources, there are also electronic references
from the Internet.
The major variable is better understood by identifying sub-variables and each sub-
variable is further explained by its indicators.
Examples of indicators for method of studying: Using books and other reference
materials; writing important key term and phrases;
memorizing definitions; doing homework; asking
parents about unclear concepts
The different variables used in the study are the focus of the literature search. The title,
statement of the problem, scope and delimitation, as well as the paradigm of the study
are the elements that give the researcher an idea of the relevance of the variables to
his/her own investigation.
The question on the number of materials to be gathered for the literature review depend
on the researcher’s judgment. If he/she believes that the important concepts and
variables have been adequately explained and that enough indicators have been
established, then the review of related literature is considered sufficient.
It is a traditional practice that the review of related literature is subdivided into foreign
and local publications. It is highly recommended that the researcher use the different
variables and sub-variables being studied as subtitles in the review. The discussion of
the variables must be arranged according to how they are presented in the statement of
the problem. This is very beneficial to the researcher and future investigators planning
to study similar problems as there is a clear and logical organization of the variables
under investigation. With this system, the research proponent/s can systematically
define the important concepts and variables as well as the discussions, descriptions and
other bits of information gathered from the different sources. When the related literature
is arranged systematically, the construction of the research instrument, such as a
questionnaire, will be easier since the indicators are presented logically and
sequentially.
A literature review surveys scholarly articles, books and other sources relevant to a
particular issue, area of research, or theory, and provides a description, summary and
critical evaluation of each work. The purpose is to offer an overview of significant
literature published on a topic that critically analyzes a segment of a published body of
knowledge through summary, classification, and comparison of prior research studied,
reviews of literature and theoretical articles.
The following are the elements included when writing a literature review:
1. An overview of the subject, issue, or theory under consideration, along with the
objectives of writing the literature review.
2. Division of works under review into categories (e.g., those in support of a
particular position, those against, and those offering alternative these entirely)
3. Explanation of how each work is similar to and how it varies from the others
4. Conclusions as to which pieces are best considered in their argument, are most
convincing of their opinions, and make the greatest contribution to the
understanding and development of their area of research.

the influence between two or more variables. Studies that focus on relationships,
associations, differences, and impacts will benefit from this model.

ENGAGEMENT
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Gather related literature and fill in the following items with the required
information.
Proposed Study:
The focus of higher education institutions is the preparation of future professionals. To achieve
this aim, innovative teaching methods are often deployed, including games and simulations,
which form the subject of this paper. As the field of digital games and simulations is ever
maturing, this paper attempts to systematically review the literature relevant to games and
simulation pedagogy in higher education. Two researchers collaborate to apply a qualitative
method, coding and synthesizing the results using multiple criteria. The main objective is to
study the impact of games and simulations with regard to achieving specific learning
objectives. On balance, results indicate that games and/or simulations have a positive impact
on learning goals. The researchers identify three learning outcomes when integrating games
into the learning process: cognitive, behavioral, and affective. As a final step, the authors
consolidate evidence for the benefit of academics and practitioners in higher education
interested in the efficient use of games and simulations for pedagogical purposes. Such
evidence also provides potential options and pathways for future research.
Although games may be viewed as an instructional tool for young learners of English, their use
in higher education could be of great help when teachers want to diversify their classroom
strategies. Used in a sensible way, games can become a stimulus
Reviewing the Need for Gaming in Education to Accommodate the Net Generation
There is a growing interest in the use of simulations and games in Dutch higher education. This
development is based on the perception that students belong to the ‘gamer generation’ or ‘net
generation’: a generation that has grown up with computer games and other technology
affecting their preferred learning styles, social interaction patterns and technology use
generally. It is often argued that in education this generation prefers active, collaborative and
technology-rich learning, i.e. learning methods that involve extensive computer use and
collaboration among students. Gaming is then proposed as a new teaching method which
addresses these requirements. This article presents the results of a survey which studied
whether this discourse is also applicable to higher education students from the Netherlands
and whether games, considered as active, collaborative and technology-rich learning
experiences, are of greater importance in the formal education of today’s students. Of 1432
respondents from eight Dutch institutes of higher education surveyed between 2005 and 2009,
about 25% fit our criteria of being a clear representative of the net generation. Furthermore, our
analysis shows that there is little difference, and no statistically significant difference, in active,
collaborative and technology-rich learning preferences between the representatives and non-
representatives of the net generation. Furthermore, no large or statistically significant
differences were found between representatives and non-representatives of the net generation
with respect to the value they accorded to gaming in education. Overall our dataset did not fit
the expectations raised by the net generation theory, with the percentage of students who fit
the criteria being much lower than expected. However, regardless of whether they represented
the Net generation or not, in general our respondents preferred collaborative and technology-
rich learning and deemed games a valuable teaching method

ASSIMILATION
REFLECTIVE WRITING
1. What is the importance of including the Review of Related Literature and Studies in
your research? Justify your answer.
The Review Related Literature and Studies are important to the researchers, because
it will serve as their guide in their research work. It is important for a researcher to
have a supporting materials to his/her work. It provides insight into the conceptual
background of the study.
2. Is including a paradigm of the study in your research important? Why or why not?
Yes, Because Paradigm reveals to us how importance will be constructed from the
information we will gather, in view of our individual experiences. It is hence significant,
that when you compose your research proposal and you plainly express the paradigm
in which you are finding your research. Also paradigm are significant on the grounds
that they characterize how we see reality.
