I What I need to know?
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the different ways by which information from everyday life may be ac-
quired. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of stu-
dents. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.
But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the text-
book you are now using.

I What is new?
• Currency of article (published 4-5 years ago preferably) or website (Is it dated? Do not
cite facts or statistics that are not dated.)
• Is the article peer reviewed (a scholarly paper see below “Scholarly vs Popular”)?
• Author’s authority/credibility
• Publisher (For papers and books: commercial or academic? For websites: edu, gov, org,
com or net?)
• Does the article come with a bibliography? This gives you an idea whether the author
has referred to other sources and helps to validate the content of the article. For web-
sites, there should be links or footnotes that list down references and further resources.
c) Your 5 articles should include 3-4 peer reviewed research papers, 1-2 credible website(s)
(excluding PDF files of papers you found on the internet).
d) Read each article and summarise what it says in your area of study.
2. Select sources that cover all or most sub-areas of your research topic. Do not leave areas unex-
plored as far as possible.
3. Read your sources with an end in mind, making notes on relevant information --- this will help
you compile what you have read in your review.
4. Your review should give the audience an idea of what is already known about your research
topic.

Working on a research project will obviously be a challenging and reward-
ing experience, provided you put the best of your expertise and skill in it. It is an
opportunity that helps you to pursue an in-depth or deep original study about any
topic which interests you.
The main aim of the goals is to provide the best of the solution to some of
the world problems and also to enhance our knowledge.
To have a good research, the researcher should have the best literature
reviews and conceptual framework.
In other words, when reviewing the literature, “not only do you need to engage
with a body of literature, you also need to be able to compare, contrast, synthe-

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
As McGaghie et al. (2001) put it: The conceptual framework “sets the stage” for the
presentation of the particular research question that drives the investigation being reported
based on the problem statement. The problem statement of a thesis presents the context
and the issues that caused the researcher to conduct the study.
The conceptual framework lies within a much broader framework called theoretical
framework. The latter draws support from time-tested theories that embody the findings of
many researchers on why and how a particular phenomenon occurs.

What is it?
D
Thesis statement: Chronic exposure to blue light from LED screens (of computer
monitors and television) deplete melatonin levels thus reduce the number of
sleeping hours among middle-aged adults.
The study claims that blue light from the light emitting diodes (LED) inhibit
the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles.
Those affected experience insomnia; they sleep less than required (usually less
than six hours), and this happens when they spend too much time working on
their laptops or viewing the television at night.
13
What is it?
D
Notice that the variables of the study are explicit in the paradigm presented
in Figure 1. In the illustration, the two variables are 1) number of hours devoted in
front of the computer, and 2) number of hours slept at night. The former is the in-
dependent variable while the latter is the dependent variable. Both of these vari-
ables are easy to measure. It is just counting the number of hours spent in front of
the computer and the number of hours slept by the subjects of the study.
Assuming that other things are constant during the performance of the
study, it will be possible to relate these two variables and confirm that indeed,
blue light emanated from computer screens can affect one’s sleeping patterns.
(Please read the article titled “Do you know that the computer can disturb your
sleeping patterns?”) To find out more about this phenomenon) A correlation
analysis will show whether the relationship is significant or not.

Expanding the conceptual framework
A conceptual framework doesn’t have to be limited to just independent and dependent
variables; other types of variables can be incorporated as well. Depending on your re-
search, you may wish to show additional facets of a cause-effect relationship by introduc-
ing one or more of the following:
Moderator variables
Mediator variables
Control variables
Next steps
Once your conceptual framework is complete, you’re ready to start undertaking scientific research that
will prove the relationships you have illustrated. You can select from a number of qualitative and quanti-
tative research methods, including:
• Literature reviews
• Interviews
• Surveys

ute to a contemporary debate, while the literature review has a personal dimension
that aims to develop the skills and abilities of the researcher as well as having a pub-
lic dimension.
c) The review of a literature topic makes people learn information about a research
topic, while the literature review makes people learn information about a masterpiece.

Example:
Source 1: Smith argues that stricter gun laws will mean fewer guns in society and fewer
murders. His statistics show that cities that have lower incidences of murder also have a
lower number of gun sales.
Source 2: Lott states that if citizens have the right to protect themselves with their own
guns, that there will be less incidences of random murder. He argues that potential shoot-
ers will be deterred if they know that potential victims could also be carrying guns to pro-
tect themselves.
Body: Similarities in (comparing) two or more of the articles:
Example: Smith and Lott both agree that private citizens need to go through mandatory
checks to determine whether or not they are psychologically fit to be carrying firearms.
Example: Smith and Lott disagree on the level of security felt by guns owners.
Conclusion: Summarizing
Example: This literature review was conducted to analyze opposing perspectives on gun
laws and gun ownership in the United States.
Why is the topic of this literature review important and/or what should be the next step of
this study?
Example: Further research is needed to examine recent statistics on gun control, gun
ownership and gun deaths in other countries compared with that in the United States.

1. The literature review is a written overview of major writings and other
sources on a selected topic. Sources covered in the review may include
scholarly journal articles, books, government reports, Web sites, etc. The
literature review provides a description, summary and evaluation of each
source. It is usually presented as a distinct section of a graduate thesis or
dissertation.
