DLP Concept Notes #5

I – TOPIC: LESSON 6 SOURCES OF RELATED LITERATURE

Reference: Practical Research for Senior High School 2

II – OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
a. Demonstrate understanding of the sources of related literature and studies.
b. Decide on suitable quantitative research in different areas of interest.
c. Select studies and literature sources appropriate to their prospect topic

III – CONCEPTS:
● Review of Related Literature - documentation of comprehensive review of the
published and unpublished work from secondary sources of data in the area of specific
interest to the researcher.

● Primary Sources are the origin of information under study, fundamental documents
relating to a particular subject or idea. Often they are first-hand accounts written by a
witness or researcher at the time of an event or discovery.

● Secondary Sources are documents or recordings that relate to or discuss information

originally presented elsewhere.

● Importance, Purpose and Functions of Related Literature and Studies.

a. Help or guide the researcher in searching for or selecting a better
research problem or topic.
b. Help the investigator understand his topic for research better.
c. Ensure that there will be no duplication of other studies.
d. Help and guide the researcher in locating more sources of related
information.
e. Help and guide the researcher in making his research design
f. Help and guide the researcher in making comparison between his
findings with the findings of other researchers on similar studies
with the end in view of formulating generalizations or principles
which are the contributions of the study
to the fund of knowledge.

● Characteristics of Related Literature

a. The surveyed materials must be as recent as possible.

b. Materials reviewed must be objective and unbiased.
c. Materials surveyed must be relevant to the study.
 d. Surveyed materials must have been based upon genuinely original
and true facts or data to make valid and reliable.
e. Reviewed materials must not be too few or too many.

● Sources and Where to Locate Sources

a. Sources
1. Primary Sources
2. Secondary Sources

b. Where to locate the sources?

3. Libraries
4. Government and/or private offices
5. National Library
6. Library of Department of Education, Culture and Sports
c. Related Legal Bases
d. Related Literature
e. Related Studies
f. Conceptual and Operational

● Review of Related Literature documentation of comprehensive review of the published

and unpublished work from secondary sources of data in the area of specific interest to
the researcher.

● Purpose of Literature Review

f. Establish a theoretical framework for your topic/subject area.
g. Define key terms, definitions and terminology.
h. Identify studies, models, case studies, etc. supporting your topic.
i. Define or establish your area of study.

● Steps in Writing Review of Related Literature

j. Decide on your areas of research
k. Search for the literature
l. Find relevant excerpts
m. Code the literature
n. Create your conceptual schema
o. Begin to write your literature review

IV – ACTIVITY:

1. What is related literature in research?

2. What is the purpose of literature review? Give at least 2 purposes.
3. How do you choose and write literature related to your study?
4. List down the materials or sources available near you where you can rely on
solving your prospect research topic. Make sure to maximize the possible
resources near you. Do not limit yourself.

1. A thorough examination of the body of previously published work on a subject

connected to a thesis or dissertation is known as a review of related literature
(RRL). In an RRL, you talk about information and findings from recent literature
that are relevant to your subject. In your evaluation, you can also discuss any
gaps or conflicts you identified in the prior research and, if applicable, how you
plan to address those issues in your investigation. Finding relevant literature is
the first step in doing an RRL. A range of offline and online resources can be
used to accomplish this. Make sure you are keeping all relevant sources, as you
will need to cite them in your paper. Make notes as you read the resources and
note the major ideas in each one.

2. The material includes contemporary studies, theories, and evidence; your critical
analysis of it; and a discussion of the two major objectives of a literature review
that are similarly related to this topic. Usually, a literature review is a substantial
element of a dissertation, research project, or long
essay._________________________________________________

3. Choose a subject and be specific about what you plan to study. Determine and
select the databases you'll use for your searches and the review's criteria. Find the
literature by searching for it, observing the findings, and selecting a topic after
reading the literature Establish the scope of your review and the subject of your
investigation. Select the databases you'll use for your searches, look for the
literature and find it, track down the results of your search, and then assess the
literature._________________________________________________

4. You can find research resources in a variety of places, both inside the usual
library and outside of it. Print media that you have personally encountered, such
as books, newspapers, brochures, magazines, and more, as well as electronic
media that you may obtain online, can be used as research
materials._________________________________________________
