- 1. CHAPTER V SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMNDATION
- 2. THE SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
- 3. Guidelines in Writing the Summary of Findings •1. There should be a brief statement about the main purpose of the study, the population or respondents, the period of the study, method of research used, the research instrument, and the sampling design.
- 4. •2. The findings may be lumped up all together but clarity demands that each specific question under the statement of the problem must be written first to be followed by the findings that would answer it.
- 5. •3. The findings should be textual generalizations, that is, a summary of the important data consisting text and numbers.
- 6. •4. Only the important findings, the highlights of the data, should be included to the summary, especially those upon which the conclusions should be based.
- 7. •5. Findings are not explained nor elaborated upon anymore. They should be stated as concisely as possible. • 6. No new data should be introduced in the summary of findings
- 9. 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 is to describe the value of your research.
- 10. Characteristics of Conclusions 1. Conclusions are inferences, deductions, abstractions, implications, interpretations, general statements and/or generalizations based upon the findings.
- 11. 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.
- 12. 3. Conclusions should be point out what were factually learned from the inquiry. 4. Conclusions should be formulated concisely that is, brief and short, yet they convey all the necessary information resulting from the investigation.
- 13. 5. Without any strong evidence to the contrary, conclusions should be stated categorically. They should be worded as if 100% true and correct. They should not give any hint that the researcher has some doubts about their validity and reliability. The use of qualifiers such as probably, perhaps, maybe, and the like should be avoided as much as possible.
- 14. 6. Conclusions should refer only to the population, area, or subject of the study. 7. Conclusions should not be repetitions of any statements anywhere in the thesis.
- 15. Purposes of a Conclusion 1. Stress the importance of the thesis statement. 2. Give the written work a sense of completeness. 3. Leave a final impression on the reader. 4. Demonstrates good organization.
- 16. Importance of a Good Conclusion 1. Presenting the last word on the issues you raised in your paper. -it offers a chance to leave a lasting impression.
- 17. Ex. By highlighting key points in your analysis or results or by noting important or unexpected implications applied to practice.
- 18. 2. Summarizing your thoughts and conveying the larger significance of your study. -The conclusion is an opportunity to succinctly answer the “So What?” question by placing the study within the context of past research about the topic you’ve investigated.
- 19. •3. Identifying how a gap in the literature has been addressed. -the conclusion can be where you describe how a previously identified gap in the literature (described in your literature review section) has been filled by your research.
- 20. 4. Demonstrating the importance of your ideas. -The conclusion offers you the opportunity to elaborate on the impact and significance of your findings.
- 21. 5. Introducing possible new or expanded ways of thinking about the research problem. -this does not refer to introducing new information [which should be avoided], but to other insight and creative approaches for framing or contextualizing the research problem based on the results of your study.
- 22. Strategies in Writing Conclusions • Echoing your introduction, or simply reiterate or link ideas expressed in the other sections of the research. • Challenging the reader by directing or showing how readers can apply the study in their own lives.
- 23. • Looking to the future by emphasizing the importance of your paper or redirecting the reader’s thought process in looking at things more globally. • Posing questions where the readers can gain a new perspective on the topic or you may also bring your main ideas together to create a new meaning.
