In crafting your Review of Related Literature (RRL), we often begin by introducing definitions and concepts to provide context for the readers. However, this should not be the sole purpose of the RRL because it is a review, not a dictionary.
Looking at the RRL presented in the video, it starts by describing the topic. However, in the succeeding paragraphs, the authors aimed to identify concepts and engage in discussions about the topic rather than simply providing a description. When in doubt, always prioritize discussions about the subject. Always remember that the goal of the RRL is to analyze and evaluate the findings of other related research.
REMEMBER:
- The RRL is not just about presenting definitions and concepts; it is a study and analysis.
- In writing the RRL, it’s more important to focus on the discoveries and discussions about the subject.
- Don’t forget to present the findings and opinions of various researchers on the topic.
