2. KEYPOINTS
In Making Conclusions
PURPOSE
SYNTHESIS,
NOT SUMMARY
RELEVANCE
CLARITY &
BREVITY
Helps the reader
understand the
significance of
the research and
not just
summarize
findings.
Conclusions
should combine
key points,
provide
interpretations,
and suggest
future research
rather than just
restating results.
The conclusion
should highlight
the importance of
the study and
how it addresses
a research gap,
controversy, or
issue.
It should be
concise and
avoid technical
complexity.
Module 7

3. Guidelines For Writing Conclusions
KEEP IT SHORT AND
PROPORTIONAL
The conclusion should be
concise and not longer
than necessary compared
to the rest of the paper.
Example: If the research
paper is 10 pages, the
conclusion should ideally
be 1–2 paragraphs, not
an entire page.
AVOID TECHNICAL
COMPLEXITY
Use simple and clear
language so that readers
can easily understand the
key takeaways.
Example: Instead of "The
statistical regression model
yielded a p-value of 0.03,
demonstrating statistical
significance," say, "The study
results show a meaningful
connection between diet and
heart health."
FOCUS ON THE
MEANING OF RESULTS
Explain what the research
findings mean in the real
world rather than just
listing them.
Example: "This study
confirms that regular
exercise improves mental
health, highlighting the need
for physical activity
programs in schools."

4. SUMMARIZE AND
INTERPRET
Bring together the results
and explain what they
mean rather than simply
restating them.
Example: Instead of repeating
"The survey showed that 80% of
students prefer online learning,"
explain, "The high preference for
online learning suggests that
schools should offer more digital
resources to support students."
NO NEW
INFORMATION
The conclusion should not
introduce new data,
arguments, or concepts
that were not discussed
earlier in the paper.
Example: If the study was
about students' study habits,
the conclusion should not
suddenly discuss how teachers
can improve teaching styles.
HIGHLIGHT THE
OVERALL IMPORTANCE
Emphasize why the study
matters and what key idea
readers should take away.
Example: "Understanding
students' study habits can
help educators design better
learning environments to
improve academic success."

5. KEYPOINTS
In Making Recommendations
LIMITATIONS
CRITICAL
SUGGESTIONS
OFFERING
SOLUTIONS
DATA-DRIVEN
Identifies
constraints in the
study and
suggests
strategies to
overcome them.
Offers actionable
insights for future
research or
practical
applications.
Proposes
effective
interventions that
lead to beneficial
outcomes.
Ensures
recommendations
are based on
empirical evidence
rather than
hypothetical
assumptions.
Module 7

6. 1. Be Specific – Clearly outline steps for future studies or actions.
2. Explain Benefits – Discuss how future research can improve or
expand on the current study.
3. Assess Feasibility – Consider whether the proposed
recommendations are realistic.
4. Identify Gaps – Suggest additional areas of research needed to
strengthen the field.
5. Stay Clear and Practical – Ensure recommendations are
actionable and easy to understand.

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING
RECOMMENDATIONS

7. Module 7
Conclusions vs Recommendations
Summarizes key
findings of the
research.
Restates the research
problem and main
arguments.
Synthesizes patterns
and themes from the
study.
Explains the
significance of the
research.
Does not introduce new
information.
Moves from specific
details to a broader
perspective.
Suggests actions
based on research
findings.
Addresses study
limitations and how to
overcome them.
Provides guidance for
future research.
Discusses feasibility of
future studies.
Explains the benefits of
further research.
Can include practical
applications and policy
suggestions.
Both reflect on the
results of the research.
Both emphasize the
relevance and importance of
findings.
Both should be clear,
concise, and based on
evidence.
Both avoid introducing
unrelated or speculative
information.
