What I Need to Know
Now that you are done identifying your angle of inquiry through
your statement of the problem, the next step is to write your literature
review. It is an integral part in the research process because it establishes
the existing body of knowledge on your topic.

What I Know

Lesson
Selecting relevant literature will help you to segregate the known and the
unknown information in a topic. Some research undertakings are conducted
to disprove, redefine or even replicate what is already established. Others
seek to explore an unfamiliar concept or idea. Thus, doing a literature
review clarifies your research focus within the context of your field.
Some people mistook this part for a mere record of who wrote, what and
when of information connected to the study. However, the presence of
literature review demonstrates the soundness of the research while
highlights what this new research can address.
This module will make you understand the goals of writing a literature
review. In addition, your higher order thinking skills will be improved as you
become critical of what you include in your research paper.
What’s In
Draw a happy face ☺ if the statement describes the goal of
literature review and a sad face if otherwise. Write your
answers on your notebook.

What’s New
Recall the moment when you were about to choose your strand for senior
high school. Share the things you considered in your decision-making
process. Make your story meaningful and interesting by taking us into the
exact moment you knew you have made up your mind. Write your answers
in three to ten sentences on your notebook. (10 points)

What is It
Just like the process you underwent when you were choosing your strand,
selecting the literature to be included in your research needs a lot of critical
thinking. You aspire to be successful someday through your chosen strand
that is why you made sure to come up with the right decision. You may have
considered your intellectual ability, talent, interest, opportunities in the field
and the like. The same is true in choosing literature for your study. Careful
evaluation must be done in order for you to identify what new information
you can give to the existing pool of knowledge. As discussed in your
previous research subjects, one of the purposes of conducting a research
is to generate new knowledge in an attempt to better our lives.
Literature, in the context of research, refers to a collection of published
information or materials on a particular area of research or topic, such as
books and journal articles of academic value.

On the other hand, a literature review is a process of studying what has
already been written on a particular topic. The process involves identifying,
locating, and analyzing documents that contain information related to a
researcher’s research topic (Avilla, 2016). Likewise, Aveyard (2010) defined
it as a "comprehensive study and interpretation of literature that addresses
a specific topic."
Prieto, et. al (2017) listed down the purposes for which literature review is
done:
GOALS OF LITERATURE REVIEW
1. To demonstrate a familiarity with a body of knowledge and establish
credibility. A good review increases a reader’s confidence in the
researcher’s professional competence, ability and background.
2. To show the path of prior research and how a current project is linked to
it. A good review places a research project in a context and demonstrates
its relevance by making connections to a body of knowledge.
3. To integrate and summarize what is known in an area. A good review
points out areas where prior studies agree, where they disagree and where
major questions remain. It also indicates the directions for future research.
4. To learn from others and stimulate new ideas. A good review identifies
blind alleys and suggests hypotheses for replication and gain new insights.

As you look for literature to incorporate in your review, you have to eye the
most valuable and pertinent information to your study. Hence, you do not
list everything you find especially resources that are not collected by an
academic library.
The following are the five basic criteria for evaluating information from any
sources:
CRITERIA QUESTIONS TO ASK
• Is the information reliable?
• Is the information error-free?
• Is the information based on proven facts?
Accuracy
• Can the information be verified against other reliable
sources?
6
• Who is the author?
• Does he or she have the qualifications to speak or write
on that topic?
Authority
• Is the author affiliated with a reputable university or
organization in this subject field?
• What is the intended purpose of the information?
• Is the information facts or opinions?
Objectivity
• Is the information biased?
• When was the information published?
• Is the information current or outdated?
Currency
• Does currency matter in this topic?
• Does the information covered meet your information
needs?
Coverage
• Does it provide basic or in-depth coverage?

What I Can Do
Evaluate the research abstract below by filling out the needed information
in the table below. Write your answers on your notebook.
Abstract:
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a
threat to societies’ mental health. This study examined the
prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and identified the factors
contributing to psychological impact in the Philippines. A total of 1879
completed online surveys were gathered from March 28-April 12,
2020. Collected data included socio-demographics, health status,
contact history, COVID-19 knowledge and concerns, precautionary
measures, information needs, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress
Scales (DASS-21) and the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) ratings.
The IES-R mean score was 19.57 (SD=13.12) while the
DASS-21 mean score was 25.94 (SD=20.59). In total, 16.3% of
respondents rated the psychological impact of the outbreak as
moderate-to-severe; 16.9% reported moderate-to-severe depressive
9
symptoms; 28.8% had moderate-to-severe anxiety levels; and 13.4%
had moderate-to-severe stress levels. Female gender; youth age;
single status; students; specific symptoms; recent imposed
quarantine; prolonged home-stay; and reports of poor health status,
unnecessary worry, concerns for family members, and discrimination
were significantly associated with greater psychological impact of the
pandemic and higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression
(p<0.05). Adequate health information, having grown-up children,
perception of good health status and confidence in doctors’ abilities
were significantly associated with lesser psychological impact of the
pandemic and lower levels of stress, anxiety and depression
(p<0.05). An English online survey was used. During the early phase
of the pandemic in the
Philippines, one-fourth of respondents reported moderate-to-severe
anxiety and one-sixth reported moderate-to-severe depression and
psychological impact. The factors identified can be used to devise
effective psychological support strategies.
