Additional Reviewer in Practical Research 2

This document provides guidance on various elements of research including conducting a literature review, developing a theoretical framework, defining key terms, developing research questions, and properly citing sources. It emphasizes identifying what is and isn't known about the topic, relating the study to prior work, and ensuring references are reliable. The theoretical framework guides the understanding, data collection, and analysis in a study. Research questions should be derived from the problem, gap, and framework and address relationships between variables.

• A literature review helps identify what is known and not known about a certain subject of the study.
• The conceptual literature section presents studies similar to your own.
• Literature search is the stage in which the researcher screens the selected references for reliability and usefulness.
• Citation and proper referencing means giving credit where the credit is due.
• A theoretical framework refers to existing theory, concepts, and definitions that you use to collect relevant data
and offer meaningful empirical findings. Providing an overall orientation or lens, it guides your understanding of
the research problem and directs your approach to data collection and analysis.
• Your chosen theoretical framework directly influences your research questions and methodological choices. It
contains specific theories or sets of assumptions drawn from relevant disciplines—such as sociology, psychology,
or economics—that you apply to understand your research topic. These existing models and concepts are tools to
help you organize and make sense of your data.
• A conceptual framework refers to a system of ideas, beliefs, assumptions, that inform, support and cater
specifically to your study as it shows the relationships among your variables. Conceptual framework may be
presented using both the visual and narrative forms.
• Note-taking is a skill that involves the review of several references that talk about the same subject and
consolidating them into one cohesive text.
• The definition of terms aims to provide the readers or future researchers with the basic terminologies that are
important to understand the paper.
• The conceptual definition is usually taken from the dictionary or other related sources and carries a universal
meaning easily understood by people.
• The operational definition expresses the meaning of the terms as used in a particular study.
• A hypothesis is a statement that defines the testable relationship, difference, and/or effect you expect to see from
examining the variables in your research.
• The general research question is derived from the main problem of the study.
• A research gap is an issue that has not been fully addressed by previous studies.
• A quantitative research question may begin with how, what, and why.
• A qualitative research question may begin with who, how, and what, provided that no quantitative information
will be involved. Why normally implies cause and effect which normally falls on quantitative information.
• The specific research questions should be anchored on the general research question.
• Since the research title summarizes the content of the study, it needs to be concise and informative at the same
time.
• Recent articles are preferred to outdated articles when surveying sources for literature review, preferably 5 to 10
years from the date of research.
• Paraphrasing involves reading and understanding the text and rewriting it on your own words.
• Titles as much as possible should used acronyms as minimal as possible.
