What Is It

Related Literature
According to Calmorin & Calmorin (2007), the review of related literature is divided
into three parts. These are (1) related legal bases, (2) related literature, and (3) related
studies.
Related Literature
The related literature are taken from published articles, books, journals, magazines,
novels, poetry, and many others which have bearing to the present study. The presentation of
related literature is from present to past. An explanation of every related literature is a must.
It is unscientific if related literature is presented but no explanation on the relevance to the
present study.
Related Studies
Findings of published and unpublished researches which are related to the present
study are presented in this section. An explanation for every finding of the related studies is a
must to determine its similarities and differences to the present study. Related studies are
segregated into local and foreign (if any) studies. They are arranged chronologically from
present to past.
Example 1
The findings in the study of Phoung (2009) that focused on the students’ behavior and
achievement when classroom observation was conducted showed that close-student relations
and teacher self-reported use of good instructional practices predict positive student
academic achievement. Interaction results indicate that the association between close-
teacher student relations and student achievement is slightly stronger in classrooms with
more academic achievement.
Example 2
Republic Act No. 7164 known as “Philippine Nursing Act of 1991” defines professional
nursing as the performance for a fee, salary, or other reward or compensation … toward the
5
promotion of health and alleviation of suffering through utilization of nursing process.
The forgoing R.A. 7164 is related to the present study because the definition of
professional nursing of explicitly expressed that nurses practice their profession for a fee or
salary commensurate to their work in order to satisfy their needs and wants to cope with the
fast changing world. In other words, the performance of a particular job affects nurses values
especially if nurses meet problems related to their job in the hospital, hence, promotion of
health services cannot be attained.
Secondary sources are closely related to primary sources and often interpret them.
These sources are documents that relate to information that originated elsewhere. Secondary
sources often use generalizations, analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources.
Examples of secondary sources include textbooks, articles, and reference books.

Guides to Preparing the Review of Literature (Vizcarra, 2003):
1. You may need to visit a number of libraries for articles related to your
investigation.
2. At the library, look into the card catalogues for titles of articles, books,
monographs and documents. Write the call numbers of these materials, and
if necessary, ask the help of the librarian.
3. Index cards can help you organize your materials. On these cards, write
the names of authors, publisher and place of publication, titles, and classify
if thesis or dissertation, the college or university where that study was made,
year and page, etc.
