RESEARCH 1
Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature and Studies
Introduction

As soon as the research problem has been chosen and

approved by your teacher, you can now start looking
for references to determine what materials are
available on your topic. This will comprise your working
bibliography, a list of possible sources of data. Aside
from the library, computer websites are also a rich
source of this list of references.
Introduction

Prepare the list and decide which ones you will include
in your review. Make sure you have enough potential
sources. A good number to start with would be 10 to 15
references.
Introduction

1.1 The Introductory Paragraph

1.2 Foreign Literature
1.3 Local Literature
1.4 Foreign Studies
1.5 Local Studies
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

From your working bibliography and stored copies of

materials, choose which ones are closely
related to your study and read them for your review of
related literature and studies.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

A review of related literature and studies is helpful in

knowing the ideas of others interested in the
research question, similar or related, to the study you are
undertaking in order to find out if it is an original work or
merely an extension of work done a long time ago. This will
enable you to narrow down your study to a specific well-
defined manageable problem.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

Related literature consists of discussions of facts and

principles to which your study is related. These materials
are usually found in the books, encyclopedias, journals,
magazines and newspapers from printed or online.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

Related studies are inquiries, investigations, researches

already conducted to which your proposed study is
related or has some bearing. They are usually unpublished
materials such as manuscripts, theses, and dissertations.
They are local if the inquiry was done in the Philippines;
foreign, if done outside of the country.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

Three things must be done in the review.

1. It should make a critical evaluation of the studies and
examine the appropriateness of their research designs to
the present study.
2. It should show how the methodology of the previous study
is replicated, modified, or improved in the present study.
3. It should show how the present study will contribute to
existing literature and studies.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

In writing Chapter 2, you need to classify your presentation first

into literature and studies and sub-classify each into foreign
and local. Foreign literature is first discussed, followed by local
literature, and then foreign studies followed by local studies.
Selecting and Reviewing
Related Literature and Studies

At the end of each section, do not forget to show how the

materials relate to your study, the differences as well as the
similarities between their work and yours. At the end of the
chapter, state how the materials reviewed contributed to the
preparation of your research.
