Abstract
This qualitative-move analysis study determined the moves present in the review of related literature written by the college students at Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences, and Technology. This study delves into the intricacies of crafting a comprehensive review of related literature, focusing on the moves employed by college students in their research papers. Drawing from the adapted framework of Hsiao and Yu (2012), the research identifies and elucidates four key moves: conceptualizing themes, integrating previous works, relating to current study, and advancing one’s own research. Through an analysis of twelve literature reviews, the study highlights the significance of each move in shaping the discussion and conclusions of research papers. By understanding and implementing these moves, students can enhance the quality and coherence of their literature reviews, thereby contributing to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields.
