PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1
Learning Activity Sheet
Lesson 2 – Quarter 4
In reviewing related literature, you come to read varieties of reading materials containing
knowledge related to your research. It is a fact that these ideas, including the language or
structures to express these ideas belong to other people. They are not yours. Copying the ideas
of other authors and citing them in your research is the good practice of being a researcher.
Doing this practice signals not just honesty and courtesy to learn people whose ideas lend
information to your paper, but also indicates your appreciation for their contribution to the field
(Harmmersely,2013).
The following are the three terms used to express your appreciation for recognition of people’s
ownership of borrowed ideas (Sharp 2012) as cited by Baraceros (2016).
1. Acknowledgment – the beginning portion of the work that identifies individuals who have
contributed something to produce the paper
3. Citation or In-Text- Citation- references within the main body of the text, especially in
Review of Related Literature.
The third one, citation is the focus of this lesson. Citation is also called in-text citation. It has
many purposes and style which are as follows:
Patterns of Citation
Citing authors, websites and other research materials have its own styles or patterns. Read the
styles/ patterns of citation below and understand how they are distinct from each other. This is
needed in order for you to know what styles/ patterns of citation are used by the researchers in
writing their research and in order for you to decide what styles /patterns you will adopt/ use in
your review of related literature.
1. Summary. The citation in this case is shortened version of the original text that is expressed in
your own language. Making the text short, you have to pick out only the most important ideas or
aspect of the text.
2. Paraphrase. This is the antithesis of the first one because, here, instead of shortening the form
of the text, you explain what the text means to you using your own words. In doing so, it is
possible that your explanations may decrease or exceed the number of words of the original text
(Baraceros, 2016).
Strategies in Paraphrasing:
a. Read the original text or abstract. Understand it as a whole, then, set aside.
b. Using your own memory, write down the main points or concepts.
c. In your own words, summarize the text/ abstract that helps make your point (University of
Texas, 2016)
3. Short Direct quotation. Only a part of the author’s sentence, the whole sentence, or several
sentences, not exceeding 40 words, is what you can quote or repeat in writing through this
citation pattern. Since this makes you copy the exact words of the writer, it is necessary that you
give the number of the page where the readers can find the copied words.
4. Long Direct Quotation or Block Quotation or Extract. Named in many ways, this citation
pattern mane you copy the author’s exact words numbering from 40 to 100 words. Under APAA,
the limit is eight (8) lines. Placed at the center of the page with no indentation, the copied lines
look like they compose a stanza of a poem.
Activity 1. Read the following journal, abstract, and research articles. Synthesize the information,
fill in the table and cites related literature using standard style APA, MLA or Chicago Manual of
Style.
Abstract 1
Abstract 2
Activity 2. Cite the literature review into APA, MLA, and Chicago Manual of Style
Majority of the students had late realization of their prepared strand as to where they wanted to belong in preparation of their career for
work, business, and college after graduating senior high school (Diane Escabal and Anita Baco, 2016)
Activity 3. Directions: Identify whether the citation uses APA, MLA or Chicago Manual of Style.
________1. Majority of the students had late realization of their prepared strand as to where they wanted to belong in preparation of
their career for work, business, and college after graduating high school (Escabal and Baco 2016).
________2. Peers and friends greatly influenced Grade 10 students in choosing career strand in senior high school (Rodrigues, Actub,
& Elumba, 2016).
________3. Those grade 10 students whose academic performance belongs to developing and approaching proficiency usually
enrolled in Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) (Sanchez, Actub, and Bagares, 2019)
.________4. As early as Junior High School stage students must be given an early career enlightenment, so they have a long way of
thinking and preparing the best strand for them (Escabal, Vedra, & Alavanza, 2018)
________5. Only 10 % of Parents influenced grade 10 students in choosing their career strand in Senior High School (Amay, Banate,
and Wabe, 2018)
1. Primary Sources: artifacts, autobiographies, court records, diaries, Emails, speeches, letters interviews, letters, official reports,
drawings, maps, photographs, speeches,
2. Secondary Sources: biographies, critical studies of an author's work, dictionaries, journal articles, handbooks, magazines,
newspapers, reports, textbooks,
Related studies, on the other hand, are studies, inquiries, or investigations already conducted to which the present proposed study is
related or has some bearing or similarity. They are usually unpublished materials such as manuscripts, theses and dissertations
(Calderon& Gonzales, 2015).
Since students like you are mostly technologically savvy and exposed to computers and the internet websites, you can utilize online
websites for your related review of literature and studies. Feel the value of the internet, search engines and websites in writing Chapter
2 of your research – Review of Related Literature.
