LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 8

Name of Student: ____________________________________________________________
Learning Area – Grade Level: Practical Research 1 – Grade 11

Date: ______________________________________________________________________
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Without a detailed outline created prior to writing, a researcher cannot begin a literature
review. An outline presents a coherent and logical review and saves time and effort in the long
run.
II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCs
After completing this activity sheet, you shall be able to present written review of literature
(CS_RS11-IIIf-j6).
III. ACTIVITIES
Directions: Read the text and study the outline below. Then, answer the questions that follow.
It is necessary for a researcher to identify how the writer of the article define the topic
and the presented themes and patterns on the paper. Study them carefully in order to create
an outline. After identifying themes and patterns, a researcher can sort the references under
appropriate headings. Once done, writing the discussion may commence.
Below is an outline for a literature review. Note that the term THEME used below is “a
broad word or phrase that synthesizes a narrower group of related findings” (Jackson, A., n.d.).
Literature Review Outline

I. Introduction
a. Describe the overall topic that you have been investigating, why it is important
to the field, and why you are interested in the topic.
b. Identify themes and trends in research questions, methodology, and findings.
Give a “big picture” of the literature.
II. Theme A
a. Overview of characteristics of the theme (commonalities, differences,
nuances)
b. Sub-theme – narrow but grouped findings related to the theme

Findings)
ii. Study 2 (Research question(s), Methods/Participants, Related
Findings)
iii. Study 3 (Research question(s), Methods/Participants, Related
Findings)
c. Sub-theme – narrow but grouped findings related to the theme
i. Study 4 (Research question(s), Methods/Participants, Related
Findings)
ii. Study 5 (Research question(s), Methods/Participants, Related
Findings)
iii. Study 6 (Research question(s), Methods/Participants, Related
Findings)
d. Etc., etc., etc. with other findings that fit Theme A; studies can be repeated if
there are multiple findings that fit under more than one theme. However, no
need to re-write methods/participants in detail (just enough to remind the
reader about the study).
III. Theme B – follow a, b, c, and so on from above
IV. Keep repeating with themes
V. Conclusion: An evaluation/critique of the existing literature. Write several

paragraphs.
a. What are the contributions of this literature to the field?
b. What are the overall strengths?
c. What are the overall weaknesses?
d. What might be missing?
e. What are some next steps for research? The next steps should explicitly
address how to “correct” for strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.

Important Aspects in Writing a Successful Literature Review (Otago, 2017)
1. Start a paragraph with an argument sentence. This sentence (a) makes it clear to the
reader what conclusion you have reached about the material in the paragraph, and (b)
reinforces the fact that you are presenting a review of the literature, not merely a factual
report.
Examples:
a. The most robust and compelling finding for men and women who commit suicide is the
high prevalence of psychiatric illness.
b. Depression is highly prevalent among women who die by suicide.

c. Among women who die by suicide, alcohol abuse is also highly prevalent.
d. Whether the risk of suicide is affected by economic status is an area of extensive
exploration.
e. Specific types of employment may confer greater suicide risk. (Chaudron & Caine, 2004,
pp. 128-129).
2. Support argument sentence with discussion in order to maintain argument. Comments

and discussion in the paragraph so that it is clear how conclusion argued in the opening
sentence is reached. Use any of the argument comments below.
The limitation of… Green’s (2008) study confirms…

This extensive survey… An exception to…
There was little consensus between… Only one study deals with…
The studies used different criteria to… Overall, the evidence suggests…
This finding is consistent with… Neither study can explain why…
These results contribute to the growing body The validity of the data is flawed because…
of evidence that…
A contrary position is taken by… Conversely, Bates (2009) found…
Studies have documented a need for… This evidence challenges…
Example of Maintaining an argument.

In spite of the impressive set of discoveries elucidating the cellular oscillator, we
still lack… a level of understanding that would allow us to say ‘the activity in these cells is
driving this particular behavior now’… Starting in the early 1990s, studies began to reveal
the circadian neural circuit in Drosophila [10-12].These anatomical approaches augured a
shift to a more nuanced view of how clock-cycling couples to circadian physiological
outputs, from a cell-based focus to a circuit-based outlook. These anatomical studies led to
the correct prediction that the neuropeptide PDF (pigment-dispersing factor), expressed
solely by the LNv (ventrolateral neuron) anatomical subset of clock neurons, is a central
circadian network modulator [11,13]. (Helfrich-Förster, Nitabach & Holmes, 2011, p. 90).
3. Provide adequate detail. There should be enough detail about the reviewed literature to
support the conclusions drawn in order to avoid misleading the reader. Some typical issues
are: (a) generalizing on the basis of only one study, especially if it is very limited, and (b)
comparing studies without noting significant differences in, for example, the size and nature
of the study population, the method, and any other relevant factors.
4. Avoid repetitive style. Avoid beginning every sentence with a citation e.g. Jones’ (2002)
study found…. Green et al.’s (2004) research revealed…. Smith and Brown’s (2009) findings
showed….

5. Limit the use of the passive voice of the verb.
Passive Voice: The participants were surveyed by Jones (2002), and it was found that…
Active Voice: Jones (2002) surveyed the participants and found…
Questions: Below are paragraphs taken from a literature review (Szpunar, 2020). Read them
and explain what is wrong in the first example and what is right in the second example.
Example 1
Richards finds that internet use is linked with greater political knowledge. People have
generally high levels of internet use (M = 8.28), but low levels of political knowledge (M =
3.25). However, the more hours people spent online, the more they knew. Richards also
finds that internet usage is linked with higher voting rates. The sample of the study was 250
people. Spencer finds that television is associated with less political knowledge, as well as a
lower chance of voting.
Example 2
Media use is shown to influence political knowledge, although it varies by medium.

While Spencer (2019) finds that television consumption is negatively associated with political
knowledge, Richards finds that internet usage is linked with higher levels of political
knowledge.
Media use is also found to influence political behavior. Again, television use appears
to have a detrimental effect, decreasing voter turnout (Spencer, 2019), while internet use is
linked with higher rates of voting (Richards, 2019).
