REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Introduction for Literature Review
(In this part the researcher will discuss the purpose of writing the literature
review. This part will also indicate scope or coverage of the review as well as the
organization of the review)
Concept/Variable 1
(In this part the research will discuss the variable involve in the study. The
discussion will begin with a definition/description of the variable/concept. Then
the researcher will discuss the type, the function, features of the variable as well
as effects, cause, advantage, and/or disadvantage, if applicable)

participants for the study. Then the researcher will discuss the findings and
conclusion of the studies identified and relate the findings and conclusions to the
current study.)
Synthesis
(In this part the researchers will synthesize the major points of discussion being
presented in the literature review. In this part also, the researchers will reinforce
the research gap after reviewing related studies and literature as well as further
reinforce the point of the study trying to address this gap. In this part the
researcher will also establish the relationships between the literatures and
studies being reviewed and the objectives of the study.)
Theoretical Framework
(In this part the researcher will present 1 or 2 theories that supports the study.

proponents, what are its main assumption or tenets and more importantly, how
are these theories supporting your study?)
Conceptual Framework
(In this part, the researcher will present a visual diagram or any graphical aid that
will show the relationship between and among variables. The researchers will
then explain the conceptual framework and how such framework supports the
assumptions of the study.)
