III. A. DISCUSSION OF CONCEPTS

Lesson 1:
Draws Conclusions from Patterns and Themes
A conclusion is like the final chord in a song. It is the section in a research report where the
researcher finds a chance of leaving a lasting impression. It usually includes a comprehensive summary of
the findings. The key points are highlighted briefly based on the analysis or results of the study. Important
implications applied to practice are specifically noted. Furthermore, the conclusion points out to what
were factually learned from the inquiry. This section elucidates o drawing and writing the conclusion of the
research paper.

2
 You have to state your conclusion in clear, simple language. No new information should be added
to the conclusion. It is in the conclusion where you describe the value of your research.

Characteristics of Conclusions
1. Conclusions are references, deductions, abstractions, implications, interpretations, general
statements and/or generalizations based upon findings.
2. Conclusions should appropriately answer the specific questions raised at the beginning of the
investigation in the order they are given under the statement of the problem.
3. Conclusion should point out what were factually learned from the inquiry.
Purposes of a Conclusion
Conclusion does the following:
1. Stress the importance of thesis statement.
2. Give the written work a sense of completenesss
3. Leave a final impression on the reader
4. Demonstrates a good organization

Strategies in Writing Conclusions

1. Echoing your introduction, or simply reiterate or link ideas expressed in the other sections of
research.
2. Conclusion should be formulated concisely that is, brief and short, yet they convey all necessary
information resulting from the investigation.
3. A conclusion must state generalization based on the findings.
4. Observe “one finding: one conclusion.” Match the findings with the conclusions. Use numbers in
the format.
5.Flexibility may be considered in making conclusions on a one-to-one correspondence with the
specific problems and the findings as some or all variable can be subsumed in one paragraph.

The process of drawing conclusions begin as early you code your data. As you review and code your
data, begin to form ideas about the important phenomena they indicate as well generate the propositions
about them and the relationships among them. Once the data are coded, you will look over the
propositions to write your conclusions.

In drawing and verifying conclusions from qualitative data among the most useful in the analysis are:
Noting patterns and theme. These are recurring themes which put together many separate pieces
of data. The data may be grouped together according to theme. It however happen that evidence, may be
applicable to one or more themes.

Making contrasts and comparisons. Comparison is a classic way to test a conclusion. The responses
gathered form the parents, students, teachers and other groups can be compared and contrasted so that
the differences can be noted. When conflicting information comes up, then you can refer to the sources of
the different data.

Clustering. The process refers to the grouping of data, then conceptualizing information that has similar
patterns or characteristics. It is called categorizing because the steps must be taken to ensure that other
information are considered or included.

Counting. Qualitative research is basically descriptive and goes beyond how much something to describe
the subject or topic under investigation. However, the number of time something occurs or is reported
tells something about how important or how significant an item is.

3
 Avoid using phrases like “in conclusion”, “in summary” and “in closing”. The se expressions can be
useful and welcome in oral presentations.

Formulating Recommendations Based on Conclusions

Why write a recommendation?
The reader is looking for insightful comments to demonstrate that you have been engaged with your
research, that you understand your findings and that you gained knowledge form the experience of
conducting your research.

How to write recommendations

The following should be considered in writing recommendations.
Brief- write concisely; any reasons for recommendation should only be given if necessary.
Clear- do not ambiguous as to how the recommendation will be implemented
Precise- vague recommendations usually result from insufficient research analysis.
They must be logical by making sure that they flow sensibly from the conclusion
It is also important to consider the different levels within your set of recommendations such as a)
for academic, b) for the policymakers, c) for practitioners, and d) for the training/education.
Point out direction/s for future investigation
Cite also a recommendation that can help your field of study, or strand.
Techniques in Listing References
Part of the responsibilities of a good researcher is to recognize or cite all the resources print or non-
print at the resource page. American Psychological Association (APA) and Modern Language Association
(MLA) are just two of the well-known methods of citation.

The way the references section in a research work is written is very similar to that of a bibliography. Every
credible body of research work must have one.

Resource Page: APA and MLA Styles

A resource page (references or works cited) is something similar to a bibliography although there
are some differences between the two. A bibliography is often used in books and refers to all sources used
whether referenced or not in the process of writing the work. On the one hand, a references or works
cited is where researchers acknowledge other researchers and bodies of literature that are actually cited
and helped them write their research paper.
References and Works Cited are used differently depending on the style used. References is used in
APA Style while Works Cited is used in MLA Style.

APA and MLA Styles Compared and Contrasted (California State University– Chico)
APA stands for American Psychological Society and MLA stands for Modern Language Association.
These two methods of citation are the ones more frequently used by educational institutions in the country.
Below is a table showing the similarities and differences in formatting the APA reference list and MLA works
cited.

The Process of Writing a Research Report

A research report is an example of an informational text. This type of text is written in a specific
format designed to be direct to the point. It is a written document or oral presentation based on a written
document that communicates the purpose, scope, objective(s), hypotheses, methodology, findings,
limitations and finally, recommendations of a research project to others.
Here is an outline that you can follow for your presentation.
What is your problem?
What is your research design/methodology?
Present your discussion of results and findings.
State your conclusions and present your recommendations.

Characteristics of a Research Report

1. Use of easy-to-understand words
Not everyone who will be reading your work is a scientist or has the same technical background as
you have. To make more people easily know and comprehend the ideas you want to present, use simple
and easy-to-understand words. Your research work is not a place to show off your extensive vocabulary. The
use of highly technical words (unless necessary) and unfamiliar words must be avoided. Technical words, if
used, should be defined operationally in the Definition of Terms section.

2. Good organization
To show good organization, your paper must be consistent and cohesive. In order to show
consistency, your discussions should focus solely on your research topic, never deviating from it. Each
discussion should lead to the outcome or results of your study in order to show cohesion.

3. Comprehensive
One characteristic of a well-written research work is being comprehensive. It means discussing every
angle or perspective, supported by valid data, leaving no areas unclarified. You must not let any stone go
unturned.

4. Direct to the point.

This is not a venue to showcase your creative writing prowess. The use of figures of speech and other
expressions must be avoided as they could lead to misinterpretations. Hence, your research report must be
direct to the point, not beating around the bush.

5. The paper is thoroughly proofread.

Misspellings, grammatical errors, and other errors related to writing conventions can tarnish the
quality of your paper and undermine the effort you put in writing your paper. To avoid this, have someone
thoroughly proofread your paper.

8
 Presentation of Research Output
The following are to be expected when conducting your research presentation:
1. Own your research paper.
You must know the entirety of your paper starting from the background all the way up to the
results and references. Study it very well. If you‘re working in groups, make sure that everyone knows the
paper. Remember that you will be graded not only based on the paper itself, but more importantly on your
knowledge of the research process. Your knowledge of your research paper will not only become evident
during the presentation, but more so in answering the questions after the presentation. Pause and think
thoroughly before answering the questions. If there are suggestions or recommendations, humbly accept
them. The judges are there to help you improve your paper and not to antagonize you. Take note of their
comments and suggestions.

2. Be on time and look presentable. Observe proper dress code.

3. Use aids. This can be in the form of the usual cartolina or Manila paper, a slide presentation, or
any other computer aided program available. Do not just place everything or merely ―copy and paste the
entire paper to your presentation. Select only important items or words which will serve as your discussion
guide. Present the key points in an outline so you would easily know what comes next. Present the
following chapters: background of the study, methodology, results and discussion, and summary,
conclusion, and recommendations.

6. Reflect all comments and suggestions of the panel of judges when you revise your paper.

Lesson 2: Finalizing and Presenting Best Design

The research report entails the application of all the rule and guidelines to be observed in putting
the paper together. They are now reflected in the different chapters that compose the whole research
paper. The following presents what could be consider as the best design.

General Considerations
Research papers usually have five chapters with well-established sections in each chapter. Readers
of the paper will be looking for these chapters and sections so you should not deviate from the standard
format unless you are specifically requested to do so by the research sponsor.
The most commonly used style for writing research reports is called “APA” and the rules are describes
in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Any library or bookstore will have it
readily available.
Avoid the use of first person pronouns. Refer to yourself or the research team in third person. Instead
of saying “I will…” or “We will…”, say something like “The researcher will…” or “the research team will…”.

Format on Appendices
1. Contents include: communications, sample questionnaires, sample computations, computation of
test reliability (if applicable) or other complex computational/scoring procedures.

2. Each appendix should be written on a separate page and affixed with the appropriate heading.

Addenda
1. Writing style
a. Be brief and straightforward (all paragraphs, phrases and words should count). Deliver the ideas
in the shortest possible prose.

9
 b. Be guided by the rules on the use of language, grammar, syntax, punctuation marks, etc.
appropriate to research writing.

2. Academic writers’ virtues

a. Seek collegial opinion for both content and prose (avail of an outsider’s eye—research adviser).

Additional Guidelines on Format

Title page:
a. The title is written in all capital letters and in 2 to 3 lines using the inverted pyramid format
b. All text items are centered; double spaced.
c. The title of the study and name of the researcher are written in bold letters.
Page layout:
Left margin: 1 ½ ”
Right margin: 1”
Top margin: 1”
Bottom margin: 1”
Spacing:
Unless otherwise specified, all texts should be 1.5 in spacing.
Type and size of paper: Copy/book paper (substance 20); 8 ½ in x11 in
Typeface and Font size: Bookman Old Style; 11 (your teacher can propose another)
Indentations: Paragraph indentations should be 5-7 spaces or the normal tab default
Justification/Alignment: All text must be fully justified, i.e., left and right aligned.

Pagination:
a. The page number should be at the top of page (The header should be ser at 1.0 inch).
b. Hide page numbers on papers with major center headings (e.g. first page of every Chapter should
not be numbered; but should be counted).
c. Page layout must be set to 0 before and after.
