(ZHA)CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

 This is where you will use your note cards and will serve as the

foundation of your research.

 This is your own work and therefore should not directly lift words from
other sources. This will require your command of language and writing
skills such as summarizing, paraphrasing and writing indirect speeches.

 Step 1 – Organize your note cards on how you would want

them to appear in the chapter.

 Step 2 – Begin writing the chapter while including the

surnames of authors who provided sources for your study
and the publication date of their work in parentheses.

 Step 3 – Edit. Rewrite.

Zhakira: The purpose of Chapter 2 is to provide the reader with a comprehensive

review of the literature related to the problem under investigation. The review of
related literature should greatly expand upon the introduction and background
information presented in Chapter 1.
Janine: This chapter may contain theories and models relevant to the problem, a
historical overview of the problem, current trends related to the problem, and
significant research data published about the problem.
Lance: The first section of Chapter 2 generally indicates how the chapter is organized
and explains the subsections that comprise the chapter.
JANINE :For example, Chapter 2 provides an extensive review of the literature and
research related to principal selection.

DIANE: The chapter will be divided into sections that include (a) history of the
principalship, (b) importance of the principal, (c) current selection practices, and (d)
recommended selection practices.

“Read only”

Lance: As Chapter 2 may be lengthy, it is essential to divide the chapter into as many
sections and subsections as needed to logically organize the information presented.
(Note: Each section and subsection heading must be properly listed in the Table of
Contents and adhere to the rules given in the APA manual for section headings – see
pp. 113-115 (Concise Rules, pp. 27-29). Generally, use Level 5 headings for chapter
numbers and then use levels 1 through 4 for chapter titles, section headings, and
subsection headings.)
Zha: It is difficult to estimate how long Chapter 2 should be. In some studies that rely
on historical and extensive descriptive information, Chapter 2 may be the main focus
of the whole dissertation and quite long. In general, however, Chapter 2 contains
between 15 and 30 pages, although it may be as short as 10 pages or as long as 50 or
more pages. Generally, Chapter 2 ends with a short summary of the information
presented in the chapter. Several paragraphs that highlight the most pertinent
information from the review of literature are usually sufficient.

Once again we are the group 2 ,leaving you a short quote “In much of society, research
means to investigate something you do not know or understand.” – Neil Armstrong.
Thankyou.
