or directly it.
Generally, there are 3 basic types of literature
sources: general references that will direct
you to the location of other sources; primary
sources that directly report or present a
persons own experiences; and secondary
sources that report or describe other peoples
experiences or worldviews.

It is making the materials meaningful to you. You
can only benefit much from your reading if you
confront the materials with the help of your higher-
order thinking skills (HOTS). In doing so, you need
to think interpretatively through ways of inferential
thinking: predicting, generalizing, concluding, and
assuming.
Comparing and contrasting related literature and
studies are your ways of proving the extent of
validity of the findings of previous studies vis--vis
your study. Writing the review analytically, or
critically, you give yourself the chance to express
your knowledge about the topic; thereby increasing
the enthusiasm of people reading your work.
Use the American Psychological Association
(APA) style.
APA style is most commonly used to cite sources
within the social sciences.
DO 43, s. 2015 (Revised Guidelines for the
Basic Education Research Fund) prescribed
that the action research proposal shall be double-
spaced, using Arial font of 11.
Whenever you use other peoples words or ideas in
your writing, you should cite that source of
information. Whether you are summarizing,
paraphrasing or quoting a work directly, you
must give credit to the originator of the idea that you
are using. When you use another persons words
directly, they must be enclosed in quotation marks,
with the source cited. Failure to cite appropriately is
the same as claiming those ideas or words as your
own and is considered plagiarism.
When using APA format, follow the author-date
method of in-text citation. This means that the
author's last name and the year of publication for
the source should appear in the text, and a
complete reference should appear in the reference
list at the end of the paper.

It is mentioned that (Cruz, Reyes, & Jose, 2001). It is argued that (Cruz, et al., 2001).
If a work has six authors (or more),

Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style"
APA," n.d.).
Place direct quotations longer than 40 words in a
free-standing block of typewritten lines, and omit
quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line,
indented five spaces from the left margin. Type the
entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the
first line of any subsequent paragraph within the
quotation five spaces from the new margin.
Maintain double-spacing throughout. The
parenthetical citation should come after closing
punctuation mark.
