Review of Related Literature

A foundational knowledge for the study. This section consists of written documents
and works such as books, journals, legal citations and the like; systematically bearing true
facts, concepts, theories and proven hypothesis. They must be as recent and as relevant as
possible except for those that are original philosophies, theories and constructs. They must be
credibly and reliably authored and published in scholarly publications.
Reviewing literature means analyzing the substance of writing and judging their
relevance to the thesis topic. The procedures and findings selected from the reviewed
literature are presented in the past tense. While the discussions of analyses, comments,
correlations and integration of research literature are in the present tense.

Research Methodology
The systematic method of gathering data. This is where various steps are being
generally adopted by the researchers in studying his research problems along with the logic
behind them. In order to successfully produce your study, researchers must know the Who,
What, When, Where, When and How of your study. In short, a methodology provides a
blueprint for researchers to follow.
Qualitative Research
These are data in the form of words, images or objects. It is objective which represents
only facts, and precise measurement and analysis of target concepts. These data are
recommended during earlier phases of thesis projects.
Quantitative Research
These are numerical data that can be transformed into numbers. It is subjective which
uses participant observation in forms of interviews, surveys and the like. It goes toward the
more specific details which are recommended during latter phases of thesis projects.
