RELATED LITERATURE
 WHAT IS THE VALUE OF RELATED
LITERATURE?

Literature serves the following functions:

• It provides information about past research

studies to prevent duplication.

• It presents gaps in the field of study; thus, giving

the researchers ideas on unexplored parts or
improvements.

• It provides the current researchers about all

possible constructs and perspectives of the
present study.
 WHAT IS THE VALUE OF RELATED
LITERATURE?

Literature serves the following functions:

• It gives information about methods that can be

used by the researchers for current studies.

• It can support the current study by providing

concepts.

• It can provide help on how implications may be

drawn out of the analysis and interpretation of
data.
Sources What are the types of
sources?

General References

• These are sources that are first accessed by

researchers to give them information about other

Examples:

Articles, professional journals, books, monographs,

conference proceedings, and similar documents.

sources?

Primary Sources

• These are sources that present first-hand

information about experts’ and other researchers'
publications.
• These present information that are written by the
authors themselves.

Examples:

Academic and Research Journals published by

universities and organizations.
Sources What are the types of
sources?

Secondary Sources

another researcher’s work.
• It features onlysummaries or interpretations of a
work rather than the complete description.

development.

• Clusters of information are time sensitive.

• Information clearly changes overtime.

 THE THREE ORDERS OF INFORMATION

2. CONCEPTUAL

• It shows clear interrelated concepts and how it

affects the other.

• It starts with different claims and the arguments

addressed towards these claims.

• This forms a small body of knowledge that

supports the present research.

3. THEMATIC

• Information are clustered by key words.

• It does not require an introduction or synthesis.

• The word clusters usually appear based on an

order that starts with international sources down
to the most local.

• Information must still be connected and must

create a single and clear concept for the present
