Reviewing the literature
• Literature review: Defined as a systematic, explicit, and
reproducible way of identifying, evaluating, and interpreting all of
the research findings and scholarly work available on a topic.
• Literature review: in my opinion literature review is writing
summary of research paper.

Functionality of Literature Review
It provides a theoretical background to your study.
It helps you establish the links between what you are proposing to
examine and what has already been studied.
It enables you to show how your findings have contributed to the
existing body of knowledge in your profession.
It helps you to integrate your research findings into the existing
body of knowledge.

Relationship of your own selected topic & LR
 Bring clarity and focus to your research problem.
 Improve your research methodology.
Broaden your knowledge base in your research
area.
 Enable you to contextualise your findings.

How to review the literature
There are four steps involved in conducting a literature review:
Searching for the existing literature in your area of study.
Reviewing the selected literature.
Developing a theoretical framework.
Developing a conceptual framework

Searching for the existing literature
There are different sources that you can use to prepare a
bibliography:
Books;
National conference
International conference
Proceeding conference
Journals(Journals List - ERIC

mputer-science
H Index
 Internet
(Digital Web Sources)
9
Reviewing the selected literature
Now that you have identified several books and important research
papers.
Reading them critically to pull together themes and issues that are
of relevance to your study.
Unless you have a theoretical framework of themes in mind to start
with, use separate sheets of paper for each theme or issue you
identify as you go through selected books and articles
10
Developing a Theoretical Framework
As you start reading the literature, you will soon discover that.
problem you wish to investigate has its roots in a number of
theories that have been developed from different perspectives
The information obtained from different books and journals now
needs to be sorted under the main themes and theories,
highlighting agreements and disagreements among the authors and
identifying the unanswered questions or gaps.
11
Developing a Theoretical Framework
You will also realise that the literature deals with a number of
aspects that have a direct or indirect bearing on your research
topic.
 Use these aspects as a basis for developing your theoretical
framework
12
Developing a conceptual framework
Developing a conceptual framework
•It stems from the theoretical framework and usually
focuses on the section(s) which become the basis of
your study.
Whereas the theoretical framework consists of the theories or
issues in which your study is embedded, the conceptual framework

Editor's Notes

  • #9 => how to select the paper+ it is valid or not + why you give more preference to this paper+ is this journal paper conference paper, national conference or proceeding conference +how you know which one is better. First ask from students to search about this 5 minutes then explain to the students.
  • #11 Note : theoretical framework is a background study or general study about one topic
