4. Chapter 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE 2.1 Related Literature 2.2 Related studies or Legal Bases 2.3 Justification of the Present Study

5. Chapter 3: MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Research Method 3.2 Materials 3.3 Equipment/Apparatus and Utensils 3.4 Procedure 3.5 Training of Panelists 3.6 Evaluation of the Products 3.7 Statistical Treatment

6. Chapter 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION ---All specific questions in Chapter 1 must be answered in this chapter. ---this section answers the question “What did you find out?”

7. Chapter 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION PRESENTATION OF DATA 1. Whenever possible, tabulate the data. 2. Report only relevant data 3. Summarize the results and analysis through tables, graphs and/or diagrams 4.Avoid too many small tables of closely related data which can be put together in one table for a more comprehensive picture of the results 5. Avoid table with data that can be presented in a few sentences in the text.

8. Chapter 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of Data Discuss each table, graph or diagram presented. In discussing a table, do not simply repeat the data so that the table will not be rendered useless. Also include the following in the discussion: a. all possible explanations and applications of the findings. b. literature that is pertinent to each findings. c. Any defect in the methodology that may have affected the research outcome. d. other insights that may add meaning to the findings.

9. Chapter 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of Data 4. Report all findings, including those that negate the research hypotheses. 5. In reporting results of statistical tests, include the degrees of freedom and level of significance 6. The report of findings should include statements as to whether the hypotheses are rejected or not based on the results of statistical tests. 7.In case the findings indicate a need to revise the original conceptual framework, discuss this also in the report 8. It is not necessary to summarize the findings in the chapter on results. It should be done in Chapter 5

10. Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS “What is the meaning of what you found out in your study?” SUMMARY The findings are listed consecutively and numbered for easy reference in the discussion of the conclusions and recommendations which are both based on specific findings. The summary of the first three chapters is written in the past tense, while summary of findings is written in the present tense. The summary does not contain any new information.

11. Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusion 1.Based on specific findings. 2. Answer all the research questions 3. Any generalization which is not supported by sufficient data is not acceptable 4. Written in the present tense

12. Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation Based on specific findings. Two implications of research findings are: a. implications for action and policies that may be formulated. B. implications for further research
