1. Summary of Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations Rellie D. Castro, RN, LPT

2. Writing Chapter 5 Chapter 5 contains 3 components: Summary of Findings Conclusions Recommendation

3. Reminders in Writing Chapter 5 It is important that everything in this last section is based on the results of the data analysis. In an empirical research study, the conclusions and recommendations must be directly related to the data that was collected and analyzed.

4. Reminders in Writing Chapter 5 Simply put, look at the key topics in the conclusion and recommendations. If that topic was not precisely assessed by the research tool/questionnaire, then you cannot draw a conclusion or make a recommendation about that topic.

5. Summary of Findings The Summary of Findings, also known as Discussion of Results, is where you are going to generate your conclusions. As part of the research paper, Summary of Findings include the overall purpose, the main and specific research problem, the research methodology, and the major findings.

6. Summary of Findings The purpose of this section is to highlight the major statistical findings from the results section and interpret them. One way to do this is to take every research question and hypothesis in turn and explain in plain terms what statistical results mean.

7. Summary of Findings Also describe how the results are related to topic in general. All explanations must be supported by the results of the data analysis.

8. Remember! No need to put tables or statistical computations from the previous chapter. Instead, explain the summary of results in simple language that will be understood by readers and non-researchers.

9. Summary of Findings Restatement of main and sub-problems. Reiteration of the type of research, nature, size of sample and locale of the study. Enumerate or express the major findings of the study in 1 or 2 statements. Identify whether the null hypotheses have been rejected or not.

10. Example: Summary of Findings 1. Perception of the Respondents in Spiral Curriculum It was revealed that a weighted mean of 4.27 was obtained by the response “spiral curriculum is good if there is enough time frames to discuss the lesson”; hence, this statement has the highest weighted mean. It is then followed by statements- “spiral curriculum is spiral progression approach to make sure that each learner has a mastery of lesson and skill” as well as –”the first concern of spiral curriculum is the continuity of the lesson taught to students in a certain grade level”; both with the same weighted mean of 4.16.

11. 2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Spiral Curriculum in Mathematics Education 2.1 Advantages of Using Spiral Curriculum in Mathematics Education The statement which got the highest weighted mean (it encourages students to apply their previous learning to later topics and new situations.) having a weighted mean of 4. It is followed by statement number 4 (The spiral curriculum also allows a logical progression from simple ideas to complicated ideas.) with 3.96 as weighted mean. On the other hand, the statement with the least weighted mean is number 6 (There is no need to review standards at the end of the school year before high-stakes testing)

13. Drawing Conclusions After data processing and analyzing, you now have an idea of what is the result and findings of your study. The researcher should be very clear with the results and findings of the study since that would be the basis for the conclusion which would create an impact to the readers.

14. Drawing Conclusions A conclusion wraps up your writing by summarizing the main idea for your readers. This brings your writing to a smooth close and creates well- written answers to your research questions.

15. Drawing Conclusions You have to consider the main idea that you want to convey to your readers and have a sense of closure in the study. It usually starts answering the specific moving to the general inquiry.

16. Drawing Conclusions In the conclusion part, no new information is expected. Researchers reconsider the research questions and draw answers for these questions.

17. Drawing Conclusions It is very important that the conclusions are limited within the main objective of the study and research questions presented at the beginning of the research paper. Hence, conclusions are precise statement that directly answers the stated research questions.

18. Drawing Conclusions Furthermore, the purpose of your conclusion is to make the readers understand the impact of your research on them. It is a synthesis of the key points and not just a summary of the entire research study.

19. Guidelines in Writing Research Conclusion Avoid merely summarizing. Make inferences from the summary of results. State your conclusion in a clear and simple language. Emphasize the purpose of your study then relate how your findings differ from other studies. Do not just reiterate the discussion of your results. Provide a synthesis of arguments presented in the paper to show how these converge to address the research problem and the overall objectives of your study.

20. Guidelines in Writing Research Conclusion Avoid using numerals, figures, or simply repeating the results. The focus of this part of research paper is not presenting results nor findings. Inferences and implications are emphasized in the conclusions of the study. Indicate opportunities for future research. Highlighting the need for further studies provides the reader with that evidence that you have an in-depth awareness of the research problem.

21. Research Implications Research Implications are important content of your conclusion. It refers to the logical relations and their result in a given situation. The conclusions you draw from the findings, how you linked those to a specific theory or practice comprises the implication of the study. There are two forms of implications: the practical and theoretical implications.

22. Practical Implication Practical Implication is also called as convenient implication. It is a realistic explanation of what your research findings might mean and the fact that would arise if those circumstances were met. Example: Studying the implications of room-to-room campaign reveals that, it is more effective in increasing awareness of how to fight COVID-19 than announcing it during the students’ morning assembly.

23. Theoretical implication Theoretical implication is a statement that supports or contradicts a theory, previous study findings, or creates something entirely new. It also represents the literature in your theoretical section. Example: Based on Bolman’s Leadership Framework, results indicate that majority of the Student Government officers significantly possess symbolic leadership. Given that this is their strength, it supports that the results that leadership style is significantly correlated to two-way communication of the organization. Results also support that avenue for open forum or discussion were provided.

24. Conclusion Example:

25. Formulating Recommendations Recommendations can be described as a suggestion regarding the best course of action to take as a result of your summary of findings and conclusion. The purpose of a recommendation is to provide a useful guide that will not only address certain problems but result in a successful outcome.

26. Two Functions of Recommendations Implications of your findings must identify the areas of concern that needs to be addressed. How can future studies address the limitations you encountered in your research?

27. Formulating Recommendations Generally, recommendations include the ff: How to further improve the pertinent variables or treatment used in the study Suggestions to concerned individuals or agencies Suggestions to future researchers who may want to pursue similar studies Suggests variables or research methods for future use
