For the Learner:

Welcome to the Practical Research 2 / Grade 12 Alternative Delivery
Mode (ADM) Module on Presents Written Review of Related Literature and
Conceptual Framework.
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often
used to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create
and accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant
competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in
your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.
 What I Need to Know

One of the task in research work is to situate one’s study in the existing larger
body of literature available. As a researcher, you need to do this so that you can
determine if you are building on existing studies. Therefore, the review of related
literature and conceptual framework is a vital activity of new and even professional
researchers.
This module will assist you in encouraging the learners to realize the
importance of statement of the problem in research.

For the learner:

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

 Differentiate the different processes of reviewing literature;
 Appreciate the importance of conceptual framework; and
 Formulate the related literature and conceptual framework

Lesson
Review of Related Literature and
13 Conceptual Framework

As a researcher, one of your tasks is to situate or locate your study in the

existing broader or larger body of literature available. Does your study build on,
extend or refute existing studies? Or, does your research replicate studies that have
been done already?
By situating your research in the larger body of literature or existing
knowledge, you get a sense, replicates as to whether your study builds on existing
studies, replicates studies done already or offers an entirely new area of inquiry.
Hence, the review of related literature and conceptual is an important task that you
need to accomplish as part of your research training

What’s In

Directions. On the first column, list the things that you know about literature. On the
second column list the things that you want to know about literature.

What I know about literature What I want to know about literature

 What’s New

Directions. Write T if you think the statement is correct and F if you think the
statement is false.

1. Place each work in the context of its contribution to understanding the

research problem being studied.
2. Describe the relationship of each work to the others under consideration
3. Identify new ways to interpret prior research
4. Reveal any gaps that exist in the literature
5. Resolve conflicts among seemingly contradictory previous studies.

What is It

Meaning of Review of Related Literature

 A review of related literature (RRL) is an analysis of man’s
written or spoken knowledge of the world.
 You examine representations of man’s thinking about the
world to determine the connection of your research with what people
already know about it.
 In your analysis or reading of recorded knowledge, you just do
not catalog ideas in your research paper, but also interpret them or merge
your thinking with the author’s ideas.
 Hence, in doing the RRL, you deal with both formal or direct and informal
or indirect expressions of man’s knowledge.
Purposes of Review of Related Literature (RRL)
1. To obtain background knowledge of your research
2. To relate your study to the current condition or situation of the world.
3. To show the capacity of your research work to introduce new knowledge
4. To expand, prove, or disprove the findings of previous research studies
5. To increase your understanding of the underlying theories, principles, or concepts
of your research
6. To explain technical terms involved in your research study.
7. To highlight the significance of your work with the kind of evidence it gathered to
support the conclusion of your research.
8. To avoid repeating previous research studies.
9. To recommend the necessity of further research on a certain topic.
Pointers in Selecting Related Literature

1. Choose previous research findings that are closely related to your research.
2. Give more weight to studies done by people possessing expertise or authority in
the field of knowledge to which the research studies belong.
3. Consider sources of knowledge that refer more to primary data than to
secondary data.
4. Prefer getting information from peer-reviewed materials than from general
reading materials.

Conceptual Framework is recipe or a blueprint that provides an outline of how you

plan to conduct the research.

Steps in developing a conceptual framework

1. Conduct a review of literature
2. Create a flow chart
3. Write a narrative
A Citation is the way you tell your readers that certain materials in your work came
from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find the
source you used as it provides the following information:
1. The name of the author
2. The title of the work
3. The name and location of the company that published your copy of the source
4. The date your copy was published
5. The page numbers of the material you are borrowing
Hypothesis is defined as an educated prediction that provides an explanation
for an observed event. An observer event is a measurable result or condition.
If you can’t measure it then you can’t form a hypothesis.
