CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

According to Logan (nd.), any time personal problems could occupy some of the

cognitive capacity and interfere academic pursuits. Occasionally, the best solution to a

problem depends on what causes it, in which case, one has to discover why the problem

arises. But in most cases, the best approach is simply to deal with the problem. Most of

the time research work is found to be tedious and very tiring work to do, however,

teachers and students cannot get away from this work because most often this is an

academic requirement.

In the words of Horowitz, Rosenberg, & Bartholomew (as cited in Locke, 2005),

interpersonal problems are recurring difficulties in relating to others. Locke (2005) points

out that interpersonal problem may be related to expectations for how others will act. It

may be related to how sensitive or insensitive people are to the reactions of others.

Finally, interpersonal problems may be related to expectations for the self. Research

work requires time. It is rewarding when the goal to finish it is attained on the target date.

A researcher needs to manage time properly. In an on line article, time

management is defined as the process of deciding what needs to be done and

developing a plan and/or timeframe for getting it done. Time management is about

establishing routines, setting goals, and understanding priorities. Dombeck and Wells-
Moran (2006) claim that time management skills boil down to awareness, organization

and commitment. One needs to become aware of and record everything he is doing so

that important things get done on time. One also needs to commit to keep a schedule,

and not wandering off when something more momentarily interesting occurs. They

emphasized that time management and organization skills are applicable to a wide range

of life tasks one might decide to take on. As it will benefit the person broadly in whatever

he/she might do.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

According to the study of Physiovipin, there are several problems that encountered

by the students and novice researchers. Some of them are: Lack of scientific training in

the methodology of research. There is a paucity of competent researchers. The scenario

in most cases is like a blind leading the blind. Most of the people who hold the position of

research guides are themselves not thorough with the various methodologies. They lead

the researcher/students to copy methodology of similar studies. Copying of data

(Plagiarism). Some researchers (as they call themselves), merely copy other

international studies or studies which have been done by researchers/students of other

universities. This is a crime and should not be promoted. A Researchers can re-evaluate

others study by considering and overcoming the limitations of previous study, but at no

cost should be copied or repeated. One should learn to respect others hard work. The

act itself leads to lack of awareness in research methodology. Manipulation of data.

Every researcher tries or does one or the other kinds of manipulation of data. May be
multiplying the sample size or to make the result in the way they want. The lack of

confidence over the result they may get after the completion of study is the reason for

manipulation of result. This never reveals the reality, as the intuition of the researcher is

guided by mere theoretical knowledge. In reality sometimes theory and practice may be

contradictory. Some researchers just finish off their study by simply sitting in their home;

they don’t even interact with their subject or have any finis. Lack of availability or access

to literature needed. This is a major problem faced during the literature review. The lack

of availability of access to Internet, ignorance of the way to search needed articles from

journals and other databases are other problems. Searching books and newspaper

articles from conventional libraries consumes a lot of time and effort. These kind of

libraries, especially which are situated away from the capital cities lack copies of new

acts/rules published by the government. There is also timely unavailability of published

data. The outlook of the researcher/research student. All students before being selected

by the guide interact with their senior students. They already finding difficulty with

research, tells the hardships they suffer or suffered. This changes the outlook of the

students. Research is the way you take it. It can be either. Lack of confidence to take up

a new study especially explorative study. This may be due to any of the above-

mentioned reasons, also the fear of the result and fear of not able to answer questions

during presentations. One should be dare enough to disseminate the result of the study,

as it is the truth he/she has come to know after the research process. Limitations of the

study are always considered and no one is going to blame on that, unless until the

research is re-done. This leads to undertaking of overlapping studies, as there is a want

of information
