Takeaways

• 😀 Bab 2 (Chapter 2) is an important section in the thesis, often considered the most enjoyable part to work on.
• 😀 Chapter 2 functions to show existing research on the topic, highlighting the uniqueness or differences of your own research.
• 😀 Research in Chapter 2 can help demonstrate that a topic has been studied before and can identify what is new or different about the current study.
• 😀 You can start working on Chapter 2 while working on Chapter 1, especially after the research topic is confirmed by the advisor.
• 😀 The first section of Chapter 2 typically includes a review of previous research, which may involve reviewing journals, theses, or dissertations.
• 😀 Selecting relevant prior research involves looking for studies with similar variables, objects, theories, or methods to your own research.
• 😀 A matrix or table is often used to summarize the previous research, including the title, author, year, research objectives, methods, findings, and differences with your research.
• 😀 The next section of Chapter 2 is the theoretical framework, which presents the theory used in the study, its development, and key assumptions.
• 😀 The conceptual framework follows the theoretical framework, explaining the key concepts in the study and defining them with references from trusted sources.
• 😀 The final parts of Chapter 2 include the hypothesis, which is a preliminary assumption derived from the theory and concepts, and the conceptual model, which illustrates the research flow.

Q & A

What is the primary purpose of Chapter 2 in a thesis?

The primary purpose of Chapter 2 is to provide a literature review, showcasing previous research and theories relevant to the thesis topic. It establishes the context of the study, highlighting gaps or unique contributions in the research.

How should students approach writing Chapter 2 in relation to Chapter 1?

Students can begin working on Chapter 2 while simultaneously working on Chapter 1. As soon as the theme is chosen and the supervisor approves it, students can start gathering materials like journals and books that will later be used in Chapter 2.

What are the key components of Chapter 2?

Chapter 2 typically includes the following components: Previous Research (Penelitian Terdahulu), Theoretical Framework (Kerangka Teoretis), Conceptual Framework (Kerangka Konseptual), and Hypotheses (Hipotesis).

What is the significance of including Previous Research in Chapter 2?

Including Previous Research is essential as it demonstrates what studies have been conducted in the same field and highlights the uniqueness or gaps of the current research. It also helps to establish credibility and context for the study.

How can students select the relevant studies for the Previous Research section?

Students should select studies based on their relevance to the research topic, focusing on variables, research objects, theories, or methods similar to the student's research. Typically, 5 key studies should be selected for inclusion.

What should the table summarizing Previous Research include?

The table should summarize key information such as the title of the research, the authors and publication year, the research goals, methods used, findings, and how the study differs from the current research.

What is the difference between the Theoretical Framework and the Conceptual Framework?

The Theoretical Framework is focused on presenting established theories that support the research, while the Conceptual Framework deals with explaining the key concepts used in the research and how they relate to one another.

Is it necessary to have a Theoretical Framework in qualitative research?

Not all qualitative research requires a Theoretical Framework, especially when the goal is to explore and discover new theories. However, it may still be used in some qualitative studies to provide context or explain phenomena.

What role does a Conceptual Framework play in Chapter 2?

The Conceptual Framework helps to define and explain the key concepts involved in the study, ensuring that each term or concept is well understood by the reader. It also provides clarity on how these concepts are connected within the research.

What is the purpose of including hypotheses in Chapter 2, and when is it necessary?

Hypotheses provide a testable prediction based on theories or assumptions and are crucial in quantitative research. In qualitative research, hypotheses are typically not included, as the focus is on exploring phenomena rather than testing assumptions.
