This document outlines the components that should be included when reviewing related literature for a research study. It discusses reviewing both foreign and local literature as well as studies. The review of related literature helps determine the research topic and puts sources into an organized framework. It also establishes the conceptual and theoretical frameworks that will guide the research. The conceptual framework depicts the research paradigm through relationships between variables, while the theoretical framework establishes the foundations of the study based on proven theories. Operational definitions define how variables will be used in the study.

Review of Related Literature
Foreign Literature – 6-8 Authors
Foreign Studies – 6-8 Studies Local Literature – 6-8 Authors Local Studies – 6-8 Studies Conceptual Framework Theoretical Framework Operational Definition of Terms Review of Related Literature and Studies It is the process that leads a researcher to past theory and studies. The review involves systematic identification, location, and analysis of documents containing info related to the research problem. It is the researcher’s immediate concern to look for these sources to put the literature into some organized form and use these for the study. Review of Related Literature and Studies It helps in a situation in which a researcher has not decided for his topic yet. It will enable him to determine and have a good idea of the topic he is interested in through reading literature and studies such as theses, dissertations, books and even periodicals. It includes foreign lit, local lit, foreign studies, local studies. Review of Related Literature and Studies Sources of literature and studies • Books, encyclopedia, almanacs, and similar references • Articles published in professional journal magazines, periodicals, newspapers. • Manuscripts, monographs, speeches, letters and diaries. • Unpublished theses and dissertations • Constitution and laws and statutes of the land Review of Related Literature and Studies • Bulletins, circulars, and orders emanating from government offices and depts. • Records of the schools, public and private, especially reports of their activities. • Reports from seminars, educations, or otherwise. • Official reports of all kinds, social, economic, scientific, technical and political. Types of Sources 1. General references – tells the where to find other sources, such as articles, monographs, books and other docs. 2. Primary sources – these are the result of researches or investigations that are reported by the researchers themselves, and are then published. Most primary sources are journals. 3. Secondary sources – these are publications in which the authors describe the works done by others. Characteristics of Related Literature and Studies 1. Materials must be recent as possible 2. It must be objective and unbiased 3. Must be relevant to the study 4. Must not be too few or too many. Ways of Citing Related Literature and Studies 1. By author or writer – in this method the ideas, facts or principles although they have the same meaning, are explained or discussed separately and cited in the footnotes with their respective authors or writers. 2. By topics – in this case, if diff authors or writers have the same opinion about the topic, the topic is discussed and cited under the names of the authors. This is the summary of their opinions. This is to avoid separate and long discussions. Ways of Citing Related Literature and Studies 3. Chronological – according to the year they were written, materials which are written earlier should be cited first, before those which are written later. 4. What to cite – only major findings, ideas, generalizations, principles, or conclusions relevant to the problem under investigation should be discussed. Generally, such findings, ideas, generalizations, principles or conclusions are summarized, paraphrased or synthesized. Research Paradigm Conceptual Framework - Input, Processed, Output (IPO) Theoretical Framework - based on theory gathered Conceptual Framework – show the research paradigm or structure of the entire study. This will guide the researcher what to do or not to do and what are needed or not needed in the study. Research Paradigm This is the researcher’s map that guides him/her in undertaking the study. It shows how he/she understands and looks at the problem by means of presenting relationships of variables after a review of related literature and studies. Research Paradigm The discussion of the conceptual framework is followed by a diagram (also called a paradigm) that allows the reader as well as the researcher to have an idea of the whole research process at one glance. Research Paradigm
The conceptual paradigm is
a diagrammatic representation of a conceptual framework. It depicts in a more vivid way what the research wants to cover. Research Paradigm Theoretical Framework – the foundation of the research study. These are highly related theories and principles that were established and proven by authorities which are very useful to the present study. Almost all research studies that were conducted in the past were based on universally accepted theories and principles. Research Paradigm It means relating to or having the characteristics of the theory, therefore, refers to the set of interrelated construct, definitions, and prepositions that presents a systematic view of phenomena by specifying relations among variables. It becomes the basis of the research problem. It explains the phenomena upon which the thesis investigation hopes to fill the vacuum in the stream of knowledge. Operational Definition of Variables It is a terms are defined according to their use in the study. This clears up difficulty in understanding the research report. Sometimes the definition of terms given in the Webster dictionary is not the definition of the same term as used in the study. Arranged in alphabetically using the first letter of the first word as basis. This portion of the thesis will then look like a little dictionary. Acronyms should always be spelled out fully especially if it is not commonly
