Preparing Outline for Chapter 2:

Learn how to draft your Chapter 2 outline based on your research title. This video shows how to organise key themes and build a logical flow for your literature review. 

How to Find Relevant Articles:

This video guides you on how to find quality research articles using AI tools like Scispace and trusted databases like ScienceDirect. Learn how to search smarter, refine keywords, and identify the most relevant studies for your topic. 

How to Critically Review the Previous Research:

Don’t just summarize—analyse! In this step, you'll learn how to look deeper into each study, identify strengths, weaknesses, patterns, and contradictions. The goal is to show you’ve read widely and thought deeply. 

How to Write Chapter 2 Critically:

This is where you bring your voice into the literature. You'll organise your review thematically, link ideas logically, and make clear why your study matters based on the gaps and debates in existing research. 

Writing of Theories Underpin the Research:

Here, you’ll learn how to select the right theory (or theories) to ground your study. You’ll explain how these theories guide your research direction, shape your questions, and connect to your variables or constructs. 

Critical Review of Existing Research Instruments:

If you’re adopting or adapting instruments like questionnaires or interview guides, this step is key. You’ll learn how to evaluate the validity, reliability, and suitability of existing tools to justify your choice—or create a better one!
