REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE_Style_approaches-of-RRL.pptx
This document discusses the review of related literature (RRL) and its purposes and styles. It outlines the key differences between traditional and systematic reviews. A traditional review aims to provide a broad understanding of a topic, while a systematic review has a focused scope based on research questions. A systematic review follows a rigorous methodology to minimize bias, including predefined standards for study selection and quality assessment. The structure of a traditional review is more essay-like, while a systematic review structures around the research questions. Both styles should include an introduction, headings, and a summary.

Critical theory
Critical theory originated as a radical social theory that critiqued how science had become an ideology that shaped social action. The intellectual project of critical theory sought to integrate social values, judgments, and interests into social science. Key principles of critical theory include critiquing rationality and capitalism, and examining how overly rational and technical philosophies detract from reflection on moral and ethical issues. Critical theory was established by the Frankfurt School theorists Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, and Erich Fromm. In education, critical theory has been integrated through social learning practices that use online networks to support knowledge development in diverse, open, autonomous and connected ways, with teachers taking on more of a facilit
Educational reforms on mismatch in teaching and skills
Teachers are often mismatched to teach subjects outside their specialization, leading to a lack of relevant skills. To address this, the document proposes: (1) providing training to teachers on their specialized field or inviting experts to share knowledge and skills; (2) designating a committee to assess and train teachers mismatched to identify gaps; and (3) monitoring and mentoring specialized teachers while also improving education to ensure competency matches curriculum standards required by industries.
Emergence in mathematics
The document discusses the origins and early development of mathematics. It notes that in early cultures, mathematics was not distinctly separate from other forms of knowledge like art, religion, music, technology and science. All of these appeared mixed together as forms of knowledge. It also discusses how the study of the worldviews and early concepts of mathematics in prehistoric cultures can only be done through a holistic, ethnomathematics approach. The document proposes that the theoretical cyclic model of survival-transcendence impulses can help explain both the origin of mathematics and certain stages of its evolution, especially in prehistory when early mathematical concepts were developed by Homo sapiens sapiens.

Role of participative management
Participative management involves workers in the decision making process since when workers invest their time and fate in the workplace, they should have opportunity to participate in management's decision making. This management style is based on the concept that giving workers a voice will increase their motivation, commitment, and performance by replacing "I" with "we".
Measurement and evalutaion. cherylasia
The document discusses measurement and evaluation in education. It defines measurement as quantifying attributes like achievement and skills, and evaluation as making judgements about something using criteria and standards. Evaluation involves systematically determining how well educational objectives are achieved by learners. Key aspects of evaluation discussed are that it is a continuous, systematic process using various techniques, and assumes objectives have been identified beforehand. Tests, quizzes and other instruments are used to obtain information for evaluation. Evaluation assesses objectives, programs, teachers and learners, and can be diagnostic, formative, summative or for placement. Good measuring instruments are valid, reliable and usable. Tables of specification are used in test construction to plan content and cognitive levels. The stages of test

Key topics in organizational behavior are identified like leadership, structure, change, and individual/group behavior. The chapter emphasizes that an organization's success relies on effectively managing its human resources.
THE THEORY OF LEARNING
This document discusses behaviorism, a learning theory that explains human behavior in terms of conditioning responses to environmental stimuli without reference to internal mental states. It summarizes the key contributions of several influential behaviorist psychologists including Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, John Watson, and Albert Bandura. Pavlov studied classical conditioning in dogs, Skinner researched operant conditioning through his experiments with animals, Watson promoted the idea that behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment, and Bandura focused on social learning and modeling behaviors after others. The document also provides examples of applying behaviorist principles in classroom settings through positive and negative reinforcement of student behaviors.
Role of participative management
Participative management involves workers in the decision-making process because when workers invest their time and commit to their workplace, they should have a role in management decisions. This participative approach can motivate employees and increase their commitment to organizational goals when they feel invested in the company's performance. When employees feel like part of the "we" rather than just the "I", it leads to stronger performance.

Reviewing the literature
- 1. Purposes of the Review Requisites for Doing the review Guidelines in Doing the Review Prepared by: Cheryl M. Asia
- 2. Examining a body of literature toward the answer to a research question Literature means writings and a body of literature refers to all the published writings in a particular style on a particular subject. In research, a body of literature is a collection of published information and data relevant to a research question.
- 3. A literature review is an evaluative report of studies found in the literature related to your selected area. The review should describe, summarize, evaluate and clarify this literature. It should give a theoretical basis for the research and help you determine the nature of your own research. Select a limited number of works that are central to your area rather than trying to collect a large number of works that are not as closely connected to your topic area. A literature review goes beyond the search for information and includes the identification and articulation of relationships between the literature and your field of research.
- 4. The form of the literature review may vary with different types of studies, the basic purposes remain constant: Provide a context for the research Justify the research Ensure the research hasn't been done before (or that it is not just a "replication study") Show where the research fits into the existing body of knowledge Enable the researcher to learn from previous theory on the subject Illustrate how the subject has been studied previously Highlight flaws in previous research Outline gaps in previous research Show that the work is adding to the understanding and knowledge of the field Help refine, refocus or even change the topic
- 5. Reviewing the literature is not an easy task for it involves a systematic identification, search, and critical analysis of existing conceptual and research literature related to the researcher’s topic or problem. Conceptual literature refers to ideas, concepts and theories propounded by experts as contained in books, periodicals and other standard preferences. On the other hand, research literature consists or empirical studies conducted by individuals and professionals on a given research or topic.
- 6. Patience, persistence, and industry are essential qualities a researcher must posses when doing the review. This is because he has to spend time spotting books, journals, theses, dissertations, and research projects needed in completing the review of literature. Good knowledge of library techniques, tools and skills is also one of the requirements for doing the review. The use of the internet is also one of the requisite skills that a researcher has to equip himself with.
