Literature Review vs Theoretical Framework


The BODY of a literature review contains:
1.    Overview of the available materials on the topic you choose
2.    More detailed explanation about the materials use, at least five sources  for a diploma student. From each source should be explained:
a.    Who did what
b.    The form of the source
c.    The focus of the work
d.    The purpose
e.    How the data is collected
f.     The used theory/theories
g.    The results
Explain also your opinion on the strength and weaknesses of the work.
3.    Define the gaps, you may summarize your opinion on point 2.
4.    Your project will be to fill in the gap, you need to mention what weaknesses you want to avoid and what method you use in your project.
5.    References





Theoretical Framework
          My ‘Hokage ‘said that it is related to quotation from knowledgable people/authority in the area or domain of writing. Definition, method and principle are include in forms of quotation. The quotations should be from valid resources and easy to understand. In other words, this part is the brain of your study.research/the development of product.
The best quotation is that which refers to original/primary resources. You can quote from other people’s project, but if you find the books it is better.
My ‘Merapi’ insisted that the theoretical framework should also include your comment and how you will use the theory or what contribution that is given by the theory to your project.
Always mention the resources! SAY NO TO PLAGIARISM!!!!!!!
