i. Synthesis – mention the similarities and differences of your study from the study you
reviewed.

In the study of Salazar (2022) and Deleon (2024), they mentioned the

importance of spending more time to study so that academic performance would

increase. Similarly, the researcher in study focuses of the performance of

students considering their time spend in studying the lesson

j. Theoretical Framework - Cite theories (Psychological Theories) in which you anchored

your study.
 Theoretical Frameworks

This study will anchor on self-determination theory proposed by Richard

M. Ryan and Edward L. Deci. (1982). According to Ryan and Deci, Self-

determination theory (SDT) is a psychological framework that focuses on the

motivation behind people's choices and behaviors. It suggests that individuals are

motivated to grow and change by three innate psychological needs: autonomy

(feeling in control of one's own actions), competence (feeling capable and

effective in one's interactions with the environment), and relatedness (feeling

connected to others).

(Relate this theory to your study. Citing how will this theory guide you in your

study)
