LAS Practical Research 1 8

This document provides guidance on writing a coherent literature review. It discusses including an introduction that defines the topic, identifies trends, and establishes the purpose and scope of the review. The body should start broadly and narrow to related work, cite sources to support points, and remain objective. A conclusion should summarize key findings, discuss implications, and identify areas for further research. Choosing a clear topic, searching literature sources, taking notes, and maintaining focus and structure are also addressed.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 8


(Practical Research 1)
(Writing Coherent Review of Literature)
Name of Student: ______________________________________________________________
Grade-Strand-Section: _______________________________Date:______________________

I. Introductory Concept

Coherence directs to a well-organized and unified piece of writing. It also refers on how well a manuscript holds
together as a unified document. It is important to ask yourself how well the elements of your review connect
with one another. Transitional expressions and other kinds of rhetorical markers also help to identify the
connection among the different sections as “ in the next example” or “ in a related study”, the most recent
finding in the study. Use “First, Second and Third” at the beginning of your paragraphs to mark the development
of the related points.

In the introduction, you will:


✓ Define or identify the general topic, issue, or area of concern thereby providing an appropriate context
for the remainder of the review.
✓ Point out overall trends in what has been previously published on the topic; or conflicts in theory,
methodology, evidence, conclusions, or gaps in research and scholarship.
✓ Establish your reason for reviewing this research (point of view); explain the criteria used to search the
literature; the organization of the review (sequence); and – if necessary – why certain literature either is
or is not included (scope).
✓ Demonstrate how your research either closes a gap in the literature, extends earlier work, or replicates
an important study thereby contributing new knowledge to your discipline.

Some general tips for writing the body of your literature review:
✓ Start broad and then narrow to show how past research relates to your project.
✓ Make it clear to your reader where you’re going, follow a logical progression of ideas.
✓ When appropriate, cite two or more sources for a single point but avoid long strings of references for a
single point.
✓ Use quotes sparingly.
✓ Keep your own formal academic voice throughout and keep the review focused and objective, following
a logical structure.
✓ Point out consistent findings and emphasize stronger studies over weaker ones. Point out important
strengths and weaknesses of research studies or contradictions and inconsistent findings.
✓ Implications and suggestions for further research, or where there are gaps in the current literature,
should be specific.
Summarize your literature review, discuss implications, and create a space for future or further research needed
in this area. How do you know when you’re done? Can you answer these 11 questions:
✓ Have you clearly defined your topic and audience?
✓ Did you search and re-search the literature?
✓ Took notes while reading?
✓ Chosen the type of review you want to write?
✓ Have you kept the review focused throughout?
✓ Were you critical and consistent in your evaluation and synthesis?
✓ Is the structure of your review logical?
✓ Did you make use of feedback?
✓ Were you able to stay relevant and objective throughout?
✓ Did you maintain an objective voice?
✓ Did you cite current and older studies? (Pautasso, 2013).

III. Activities

Activity 1 Choosing a topic.


Direction: Choose a topic that you want to focus on and explore in your literature review. Consider the following.
Do this on a separate sheet of paper.

A. Topic you are familiar with and interested in


B. Topic your readers and other researchers will be interested in
C. Topics that are current, well-established, and have ample research for review

List down at least three topics.

1. _____________________________
2. _____________________________
3. _____________________________
My final topic is _____________________________________________________.

Activity 2 LOOKING FOR SOURCES

Direction: After determining your topic, look for books, scholarly articles, journals, etc. for the review of
literature. Use the synthesis matrix used in previous learning activity sheet to be able to describe and analyze each
selected reference. Do this on a separate sheet of paper.
