2. Two Major Parts of Review of
Related Literature
• Conceptual Literature
• Research Literature

3. Conceptual Literature
• It contains literature coming from
books, journalism, and other forms of
material, concerning or relevant to the
study, but are data-free or non –
empirical material, coming from both
foreign and local sources.

4. Research Literature
• These are empirically – based,
like scientific paper, theses, and
dissertations, both published and
unpublished, coming from local
and foreign sources.

5. Purpose of Review of Related
Literature
 It gives researcher several ideas on how to
select and formulate his own research
problem.
 It helps the researcher identify studies that
have been done related to the topic he is
interested in.
 It avoids possible duplication of similar
studies.
 It guides the researcher on the possible
theoretical framework he can use for his
current study.

6.  It gives direction to the researcher on how he
will create his own conceptual framework.
 It allows the researcher to browse several
kinds of research designs, sampling
techniques, statistical procedures,
questionnaires and processes of presenting,
analyzing , and interpreting data, from where
he could base his own choice for his paper.
 It gives a picture of a comparative analysis
between variables used in reviewed materials
and those used in the current study.

7. Bases for a Good Review of
Related Literature
The review material must be current.
Literature and studies reviewed must
be relevant to the study.
Findings or result of reviewed study
should be objective and free of
biases.

8. The data used in the reviewed materials
should be scrutinized in terms of sampling
technique used to ensure that
generalizations are based on normal
population.
Reviewed materials related to the current
study should be enough to establish a
strong and viable trending of result.
