1. It should not merely be plugging in pieces of information.

2. It must read like a unified essay, which ties into a
meaningful whole the vast array of information gathered
from written works and research findings or personal views
and observations that have relevance to the problem under
study.
3. Purpose:
(1) demonstrate the scholarliness of the chosen area of
research,
(2) review the recent development in the knowledge
(substantive and methodological), and
(3) situate the research project in the context of existing
knowledge.

4. The REVIEWER must:

(1) consider the classification of foreign and local
literature/studies.
(2) include the researcher’s problem, basic concepts,
assumptions, review of literature, methodology,
design, techniques, statistical tests, conclusions,
implications and recommendations, form and style of

by showing how the various units form a system of
relationships on the macro level.
6. It presents the theory from which the research problem was
derived or to which it is linked.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

definitions which as what/which specific relationships of the
various units (key concepts) can be predicted/considered
feasible within the framework of the theory?
2. It also asks, how the various units form a system of
relationships at the conceptual/operational level.

3. It is based on certain criteria/logical assumptions or

definitions which as what/which specific relationships of
the various units (key concepts) can be
predicted/considered feasible within the framework of the
theory?
4. It also asks, how the various units form a system of
relationships at the conceptual/operational level.
5. It presents the relationships between the specific concepts
(e.g. independent and dependent variables) that may be
studied.
6. The concept used at this level should be derived from the
concepts used in the theoretical framework. They should be
more concrete or specific.

XIV. Chapter III- RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

METHODOLOGY
1. It signifies the overall approach to the solution of the
problem and reflects the descriptive or detailed explanation
of the research procedures, data collection process, and
methods of analyzing the data whether it is
descriptive/qualitative or correlation study.

XV. Chapter IV- RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

1. The roots of this section can be traced back to the Objectives
of the Study where the variables to be studied or investigated
have been identified.
2. This mainly shows what has actually happened after
undertaking the study which fulfills the function of
revealing all consequences after tracking down the variables
which the researcher originally intended to investigate.
3. The presentation of the data should be a combination of
textual, tabular, and graphical as the need demands.
4. Researchers should refrain from just merely repeating in
the text what is already in the table or graph.
5. The situate this essential part of the report (Analysis of
Data), it is suggested that there should be: (1) a statement
of the research statistical problem, and (2) a statement of
the null hypothesis (-es) which was (were) subjected to
testing. Based on the statistical test results, the decision on
the hypothesis (rejection/non-rejection) must be explained.
6. It is here, that researchers are cautioned to exercise
prudence in making pronouncements.
7. Precision language is needed,
Example:
What does it mean to “reject the null hypothesis” or “not
to reject hypothesis”? What does a significant correlation
mean? The use of mathematical phrases, e.g. t > .05.p < .05
are encouraged.
8. Three levels of Interpreting the Data
a. describing trends and patterns,
b. making inferences and establishing linkages, and
c. integrating and generalization.

Level 1 answers the question,

What do the data mean in the context of the study?

Page 9 of 13
 SHEPHERDVILLE COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF HEALTH
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Talojongon, Tigaon, Camarines Sur

Level 2 should explain, how the findings are evaluated in

terms of current theory/practice.
Level 3 implies that the researcher should not only
unravel findings and inconsistencies (interpretations), but
the study must also attempt to put the pieces together to
achieve meaningful conclusions and generalizations.
It should bring about the expected and unexpected, the
major and ancillary together to extract meanings and
principles.

9. It is here, where researchers go beyond the confines of the

study - - the generalizability of the results to the population
of the study.
10. This can be achieved if the research can certify that the
conditions of the study are conducive to the generalization.
11. These conditions are:
a) that the study was conducted under conditions of relative
precision and control and
b) the subject of the study is truly representative of the
larger population of interest.
12. This means that the researcher must attempt a post-hoc
analysis of data.

Note:
a) When the findings are seen to be related, it is not only
possible to integrate them into some superordinate
point or principle but integrate them into an original
theory.
b) The goal of the research is to make findings part of a
comprehensive body of theory, either b
c) y working within an existing theory or by generating an
original. When the findings are seen to be related, it is
not only possible to integrate them into some
superordinate point or principle but integrate them
into an original theory.
d) The goal of the research is to make findings part of a
comprehensive body of theory, either by working
within an existing theory or by generating an original
1.
e) It should present a general overview of the study, e.g.
problem, objectives, methodology and salient findings.

XVI. Chapter V- SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, and

RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSIONS
1. It is intended to provide answers to the different specific
objectives and a definite answer to the general problem.
2. It should show concrete pronouncements or generalizations.
3. This is what the research yields. Yield (result) is a fundamental
criterion to be applied to all research.
4. The research must:
(a) Survive the “so what” question. This means that the
study must have demonstrated theoretical, statistical,
in practical significance; and
(b) Give a definite solution to the problem, e.g. good
research is evaluated in terms of result – how much the

Page 10 of 13
 SHEPHERDVILLE COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF HEALTH

Talojongon, Tigaon, Camarines Sur

research consumers can learn from it and what value

the result provides.

5. Some researchers merge the discussion of implications and

recommendations into one section, while others treat them as
separate sections.
6. The term implications suggest the practical importance of the
study. Without this part, laymen and policymakers who have
no formal training in research or do not have time to think
about the practical implications of the finding may not
appreciate the study.
7. Recommendations may be in terms of applications/actions,
that is, results should be examined in terms of suggested
applications or actions to alter negative or unfavorable
practices.

SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER STUDY

1. Recommendation may also be in the form of suggestions for
extensions - - further research, replications, refinement, etc.
to indicate the direction that future research might take.

XVII. References

XVIII. Notes and Appendices

1. The appendices should be placed after the REFERENCES
section. These may contain additional tables, figures, and other
graphic aids that are too bulky if placed in the main body of the
report.
2. Additional tables that are placed in the appendices are labeled
or titled as appendix tables (e.g. Appendix Table 1) and should
be situated as the first part of the appendices followed by other
kinds of appendices.
3. Letters, questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, and
other documents that make the research report complete in
every detail may be also stacked up in this section.
4. The headings of appendices should be in full CAPITAL
LETTERS, centered, and numbered properly using Arabic
numerals to provide facility to the reader in locating the
information needed (e.g. Appendix 1- appendix Tables,
APPENDIX 2- Letter to the Respondents, etc.). Numbering
should jibe with what is found in the Table of Contents and in
the text. In the title of the appendices, only the first letter of
each important word and proper nouns and acronyms are
capitalized and typed two (2) single spaces after the heading.
5. Whenever a glossary is used, this should be labeled separately
as such, and placed at the last part/section of the appendices.
