Lecture Notes on Chapter 2
- 1. An Overview of Chapter 2 TVVillaflores
- 2. Review of Related Literature and Conceptual Framework
- 3. What is it? A separate chapter that consists the review of related literature, the framework, the hypotheses and definitions of terms.
- 4. Components Introduction Review of Literature and Related Studies Conceptual Framework / Paradigm Hypothesis Definition of Terms
- 5. Sample Review of Related Literature and Conceptual Framework This chapter shows the review and analysis of related literatures and studies that became the foundation of this research. This part includes the presentation of the concepts involved in the study and the conceptual paradigm that shows the relationship between variables found in this study. Moreover, the hypothesis and the definition of terms are included in this section.
- 6. Review of Literature and Related Studies
- 7. What is it? The purposes of this section are to tell what research has or has not been done on the problem and to explain or clarify the theoretical rationale of the problem. This section provides a general picture of the research topic.
- 8. Remember 1.Only studies which are related in purpose, method, or findings to the current study should be included in the review. The discussion of such studies should be in the form of a brief critical analysis of the purposes, method of study, principal findings, and conclusions.
- 9. Remember 2. Clarify the interrelationship of the studies reviewed. Point out weaknesses and strengths of each study.
- 10. Remember 3. Point out how each of the studies reviewed relates to the problem at hand. Summarize the review and provide a transition from the past studies to the present one. The latter should be shown to relate with or evolve from earlier work.
- 11. Remember 4. In the text, only the last names of the authors are given. In the case of citations of different works by persons with the same surname, initials should be included with the last names for proper identifications.
- 13. What is it? From the review of the literature, the researcher can formulate a tentative theoretical scheme for his research problem. It specifies the key variables showing their interrelationships. This is usually represented in a diagram (theoretical paradigm / conceptual paradigm) conceptual framework is not necessary for qualitative research.
- 14. Hypotheses
- 15. What is it? Hypotheses are tentative statements about a given phenomenon. They serve as a tentative answer to one or more of the research questions, and are subjected to a statistical test.
- 16. Remember 1.The hypotheses should be stated in a testable form.
- 17. Remember 2. The level of significance usually at .05 should be set before testing.
- 18. Remember 3. Both the research and null hypotheses should be stated.
- 19. Remember 4. Qualitative research does not test hypotheses.
- 21. What is it? Clear definition should be stated for all important variables, especially if these are to be measured by means of specific instruments or a combination of devices. This includes conceptual and operational definition of important terms as used in the study.
- 22. What is it? This section does not appear in qualitative research.
