develop your skills in research.
In this module, you will know about review of related literature.
So, let’s get started!

Specifically, after working on this module, you should be able to

relate the findings with pertinent literature.

Identify what is asked in each item. Choose from the choices below. Write
the letter of your answer on a sheet of paper.
A. Citation D. Essay
B. Journal E. Book
C. Literature
_________1. The writings dealing with a particular subject

If you are done answering, check your work and look at the answers
in the Answer Key on page 8. Then, come back to this page.

How well did you do in your readiness check?

If you got everything right, Good job! That’s a great start for your
learning adventure. However, if you got 3 and below, don’t worry. I
am here to help you. All you have to do is go along this module and
practice all the activities. Also, don’t forget to give it best. Let’s go!

 YOUR VOCABULARY BUILDER

As you go through the lesson, you will encounter some words which are
crucial in understanding the module. Take some time to understand their
meanings.
1. Literature

Great job!
Now that you are already equipped with some of the needed
information, I think you are now ready to continue with your
learning adventure. Have fun and Good luck!

YOUR INITIAL TASK

What do you usually do if you want to know something about a certain topic
or issue? Explain your answer by writing it on your answer sheet.

YOUR GUIDE
According to Henry Van Dyke, literature consists of those writing which
interpret the meanings of nature and life, in words of charm and power, touched with the
personality of the author, in artistic forms of permanent interest.
In research, a review of related literature is an integral part wherein you
analyze man’s written and spoken knowledge about the world. You will put so much

2
attention to every detail to see the connection of your research to what the people already
know or to the existing written literature.
Purposes of Review of Related Literature
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
Style or Approaches of RRL:
1. Traditional Review of Literature
- summarizing present forms of knowledge on a specific subject to give
an expanded or new understanding of an existing work
- prone to your subjectivity
Types of Traditional Review of Literature:
1. Conceptual review – analysis of concepts or ideas to give meaning to some national
or world issues
2. Critical review – focuses on theories or hypotheses and examines meanings and
results of their application to situations
3. State-of-the-Art review – makes the researcher deal with the latest research studies
on the subject
4. Expert review – encourages a well-known expert to do the RRL because of the
influence of a certain ideology, paradigm, or belief on him/her
5. Scoping review – prepares a situation for a future research work in the form of project
making about community development, government policies, and health services, among
others
2. Systematic Review of Literature
- involves sequential acts of a review of related literature
- bias-free style

3
Steps to Follow:
1. Have a clear understanding of the research questions.
2. Plan your manner of obtaining the data.
3. Do the literature search.
4. Using a certain standard, determine which data, studies, or sources of knowledge are
valuable or not to warrant the reasonableness of your decision to take some data and
junk the rest.
5. Determine the methodological soundness of the research studies.
6. Summarize what you have gathered from various sources of data.
Stages of the Process of Review of Related Literature:
1. Search for the literature – you exert time and effort to look for sources of
knowledge, data or information to answer your research questions and to support
your assumptions.
Types of Literature Sources:
a. General references- leads you to the location of other sources
b. Primary sources- person’s own experiences
c. Secondary sources- internet, books, peer-reviewed articles in journals,
published literary reviews of a field, and other library materials
2. Reading the source material- interpret the material you are reading through
inferential thinking: predicting, generalizing, concluding, and assuming
3. Writing the review- connect and organize ideas to form an overall understanding
of the material by paraphrasing and summarizing it.
NOTE: To write an excellent review, you can use the following opening statements:
a. One early work by (Castro, 2017) proves that...
b. Another study on the topic by (Torres, 2017) maintains that...
c. The latest study by (Gomez, 2018) reveals that...
d. A research study by (Rivera, 2017) explains that...

YOUR DISCOVERY TASK

A. Decide which step in systematic review of literature is discussed in each item. Write
the answers on your answer sheet.

1. You look for the needed information or details from all sources of knowledge like
books and internet by using keywords.
2. Make use of a certain set of criteria in assessing the ways researchers conduct
their studies to arrive at a certain conclusion.
3. Use a graph such as a table and other presentation formats to present a synthesis
of your report.

4
 4. The research questions direct your research activities and lead you to where you
will obtain the data you want to gather.
5. You think of ways on how to show courtesy and respect to people or institutions
from where the data will come such as planning how to communicate your request
to these sources of data.

B. Using a Venn diagram, compare and contrast the two styles of review of related
literature. You can research for other details.
Traditional Systematic

Congratulations for making it through your Discovery Tasks!

How well did you get the answers?
Were you able to answer everything?

To check if you got them all right, just go the Answer Key on page 8.

If you got 4-5 correct answers, Good job!

If you got lower than 3, that’s okay. Keep on going and never give up. Now,
let’s see how much you’ve learned.

LET’S SUM IT UP

Review of related literature is the analysis of man’s written or spoken

knowledge about the world. There are two approaches of review of related literature: the
traditional and the systematic review of related literature.

 YOUR FINAL TASK
Evaluate this sample review of related literature. Write your answer on
your answer sheet.
Impact of bullying on Academic Achievement:
Cythia (2014) analyzed bullying impact on student’s performance either in short or long term. She
found that there are differences in relationship between bullying level and academic performance
depending on student´s academic achievement. Nadine (2014) investigated bullying impact on student’s
ability to academically succeed. Nadine found that bullied students have feel of fear from coming to school
because they feel that they are unsafe; therefore they are unable to concentrate which reelect negatively
on their academic success. Mundbjerg et al. (2014) analyzed the relationship between bullying in
elementary school in Denmark. They found that bullied students have lower academic achievement in 9th
grade and bullying impacts are larger if it is more severe. Placidius (2013) found that physical bullying was
perceived as a dominant bullying element. Boys prefer to be bullies more than girls. Poor academic
performance was as impact of bullying. (From: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1144634.pdf)
