Lesson
Research Experiences
and 1 Knowledge
After knowing in-text and reference citation, you are now ready to write your
related literature. But writing literature review is not an easy task. Because on this
part of research, you are going to search for studies similar or related to your work.
It requires your time and your commitment (Bolderton, 2008). From those
literatures, you will draw connection in order to provide background on the issue
you are going to investigate and set gap that will be the relevance of your study
(Denney & Tewksbury, 2013).
However, you need to familiarize yourself first to the guidelines in doing literature
review. This lesson will acquaint you with the process in coming up a worthwhile
literature review.
What’s In

Notes to the Teacher
This module prepares the students to present their
literature review.
What’s New
Literature review provides background of the research. Bok on the other hand,
instead of reading studies related to their research opted to have concrete
experience of their research topic. Having a direct experience is good but of course
you need to read other researches in order to understand their claims and findings.
4
What is It
Now we are going to deal with the guidelines on how to make literature review.
According to Morgan-Rallis (2018), there are guidelines that researchers need to
ponder in crafting their literature review.
1. Identify your variables. This is to determine what are your variables in your
research. In short, you should know your topic (Minch, 2018). For example,
your research title is like this:
Example
What are your variables here? Or simply, what is your topic all about? If you will be
labeling it, you will come up with this result.
a) PWD students
b) PWD students and community services
c) PWD students in a rural area
d) PWD engaged in community services
So, you can search for literatures: journal articles, published articles from credible
websites, magazines, newspapers related to the following. The question is how
many literatures are you going to search and what is the time frame? Some schools
require ten (10) to twenty (20) literatures conducted within five (5) years. Some just
acknowledge ten (10) from credible and scientific sources. Nonetheless, because the
research you are conducting is a novice research with the aim just for research
appreciation, ten (10) literatures from scientific sources are enough.
5
Here are some websites that can help you search for any related literature.
3. Analyzing the literature. On this part of literature review, you need to analyze
what you have read. It requires you to evaluate the findings of the research.
You just need to identify what the literature has to say on the variable that
you have considered.
6
4. Summarizing what you read by highlighting important things. On this part,
you need to summarize the literature you read. There are many ways of
summarizing it. However, you can consider my way of summarizing
literature through tables.

Abstract
This interpretive qualitative study aims to explore pertinent data in the University of
the Assumption regarding the experiences of the administrators on the K-12 basic
education program. Specifically, the research aimed to: 1) Identify the coping strategies
utilized by the administrators during implementation of the K to 12 basic education
program; 2) Enumerate the barrier or difficulties they have faced on the implementation
of the abovementioned program. 3) Determine future possible obstacles or problems
regarding the execution of the K to 12 program. 4) Describe the institution’s best
practices. There were 12 administrators who participated in the research. The study
was conducted on the respective offices of the administrators in a Catholic university.
The researchers utilized an interview guide that includes four open-ended questions
which are specific to the topic of K to 12 experiences of the administrators. Based on
the findings, the strategies utilized by the university to
9
cope with the K to 12 transition were the formation of a K to 12 committee and
early preparation. The problems encountered by the institution were the renovation
of buildings and facilities, selection and training of faculty and changes in the
curricula. The foreseeable obstacles perceived by the administrators are the
maintenance of current buildings and facilities and hiring and retention of faculty
members. The University of the Assumption’s best practices include the top
management’s initiative and effective information dissention. It may be education
program through the administrators’ utilization of coping strategies, best practices
and experiences when faced with problems and difficulties. Findings of the study
suggest that the administrators must remain vigilant on the implementation of the
K to 12 basic education program.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the community outreach activities of a
selected Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the level of awareness,
implementation, and engagement of the three group of respondents, the selected
10
College students of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education,
the Faculty, staff and Administrator and the selected residents of the adopted
community of the university. It used an quantitative-descriptive design. A three-
part self-made questionnaires were given to the respondents. Both descriptive and
inferential measures were utilized in the treatment of data such as frequency count,
percentage, mean, ranking, analysis of variance, and applicable multiple
comparisons or post-hoc tests. The analysis of variance manifested a significant
difference among the three respondents in the three areas of concerns, namely, the
level of awareness, implementation, and engagement. The post hoc analysis further
showed the group of faculty, staff and administrator caused the significant
difference to the two other groups of respondents. A Community Extension Services
Plan was developed to address this issue that will cater to more collaborative
extensions services of the university.

Abstract
This commissioned study examined the facilitating factors behind Catholic lay
leadership in the Archdiocese of San Fernando. Within an interpretivist framework, via
focus group discussions (FGDs), an estimate of 108 select participants from 18 groups
(six youth groups, six women groups and six men groups), among six parish
classifications were probed by a research team from three Catholic universities.
Transcribed field texts were structurally analyzed and coded to generate significant
themes. Common insights across groups (youth, women and men) emerged
thematically. On the factors in joining church organizations, three general themes were
identified: personal response to God’s will to serve, influence and invitation of the
family and church leaders, and experience of joy in serving in the church. On the
salient points in sustaining lay leadership, three common themes emerged: experience
of solidarity, experience of faith, and parish priest’s support. Role modeling, seminars
and trainings on formation, tapping of potential leaders in the community, were
distinctly identified as common components that enhance leadership skills. Widespread
concerns experienced by lay leaders in their own organizations and other relevant
themes unique to a specific group, are discussed in the paper. The role of the parish
priest became the apex among the facilitating factors. The study offers rich database for
understanding, appreciation, utilization and promotion of lay leadership and
empowerment. Hopefully, findings and conclusions may be used as input for pro-active
pastoral planning in the archdiocese.

Lesson
Ways of Organizing
2 Literature Review
In the previous lesson, you have learned the dynamics of collecting literatures from
different sources by means of tabular form. You are reminded to get literatures that
correspond to your research variables. You have filled up different information of the
literature you have gathered by means of authorship, year it was published, type of
literature, publication, findings and conclusion. I know you resulted to gathered many
literatures, maybe ten (10), fifteen (15) or even twenty (20) literatures from different
scientific sources. Now, we are going to organize what you have gathered.

edition and Mendeley Software usage. Findings revealed that the experience of the
participants was mirrored to a journey – path and road to enlightenment. The
paths were wondering, grasping, and realization. On the other hand, the roads were
competence, application, and empowerment. Thus, this established the positive
impact of the program to the professional growth of its participants.
What’s New
I know by this time you have searched many literatures from the library or from
the internet. Have you used the different internet platform in searching literature?
Have you tried Google Scholar, Eric, Springer, ResearchGate, Elsevier, or Proquest?
There are bunch of literatures waiting for you there. Maybe you are like Bok now
that even in his dreams he can see the studies around waiting for you to read. Well,
I think you find it hard to organize them all. Do not worry, this lesson is for you.
You will not be dreaming of those again because this lesson will allow you to
arrange them properly.
14
What is It
In this lesson you will organize your literature review. This method will help you to
arrange your gathered literature.
1. Categorize by variables. Ten (10) or more literatures that are comprised of books,
journals, theses or dissertations, or online publication are hard to organize. In
organizing them, you need to stick on the variables you have considered and
they will be bases of your searching. On this manner, you can segregate them
according to what they are discussing.
3. Connecting literatures. After arranging the literatures that you searched, now it
is time for you to connect them because these are already categorized and
arranged. Literatures that discuss on the same topic and same assumption
need to be connected drawing similarities from each other and to the present
study. However, the literature stressing an opposite finding should be
differentiated with the other literatures.
16
What’s More
Identify what are the words hidden on the codes. Use the guide below. Write your
answers on your notebook.
1. The variables of the study serve as the bases of what you are going to search.
2. Gathered literatures are organized according to importance
3. Literatures are arranged solely based from the intuition of the researcher.
4. There is a need to identify whether the gathered research article is scientific
or not.
5. Research articles coming from established, scientific and reliable publication
are good source of information.
