I. Let’s study
2. Abstract – contains the summary of the research findings and conclusions. It briefly
presents the context of the study, research questions or objectives, methodology, major
findings, conclusions, and sometimes implications. An abstract does not contain any citation
or a great deal of statistical results. Its length ranges from 100 to 250 words.
3. Introduction – explains the current state of the field and identifies research gaps. It is also
the part where the research focus is presented by addressing the identified gaps in the
topic. It puts the research topic in context. It is usually three to five paragraphs long.
4. Literature Review – contains the summary and synthesis of all available sources directly
related to the study. In a research report, the literature review is divided into two sections:
related concepts and related studies.
Related concepts present some of the fundamental concepts needed by the readers to
better understand the study. Concepts and theories are defined, explained, and described.
Unlike related concepts, related studies are based on previously conducted studies directly
related to the paper. Both the related concepts and studies will help the writer explain the
phenomena that may arise in the study.
This section ends with a paragraph that synthesizes all of the studies presented and puts
the study in context. Hence, the last paragraph may include the topic and specific research
problems. The length may range from two to three pages. Note that some cases, the
literature review is integrated in the introduction section.
5. Methodology – describes how the experiments or tests in the research were conducted. It
presents the context within which the study was conducted, the participants, the instruments
used, data gathering procedure, and the data analysis. In discussing the context of the study
and the participants, the number and the demographic profiles of the participants are
explained as well as the place where the study was conducted.
The discussion of the instrument used presents the tools in gathering data. These tools
may be in the form of a questionnaire, interview, focus group discussion, survey, and tests,
among others. All of the instruments used should be described in detail, along with the
explanation of how they were validated. The data gathering sections presents the details on
how the data were collected while the data analysis section presents how the data were
analyzed, either qualitatively (coding scheme) or quantitatively (statistical tools). The past
tense is used in writing the methodology.
6. Results – factually describes the data gathered and the tables and graphs that summarize
the collected data. Along with the tables and graphs are their respective interpretations. The
flow of the results section should follow the flow of the research
questions/problems/objectives. It is expected that for each research problem or objective,
corresponding results are presented.
7. Discussion – provides an explanation of all the results in relation to the previous studies
presented in the literature review.
In this section, the research problems or objectives, as well as the major findings, are
restated in the first paragraph. The succeeding paragraphs should explain whether the study
supports or rejects the previous findings and explain the reasons for this. New findings
uncovered in the research should also be stated. Similar to the flow of the results, the
discussion part follows the flow of the research problems or objectives.
8. Conclusion – contains the restatement of the major findings, the limitations of the study, the
recommendations, and the implications. Note that in some cases, the conclusion is
integrated into the discussion.
9. References – contains the different sources used in the study. These may be academic
books, journals, and other online sources. Its format depends on the school, teacher, or field
of study.
Example:
Title: Effect of Facebook on the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students
Thesis statement: Facebook has an effect on the academic performance of senior high
school students
Research questions:
(1) Does exposure to Facebook affect students’ performance during examination?
(2) Does exposure to Facebook affect students’ attention span during class activities?
(3) Does exposure to Facebook affect students’ participation in curricular activities?
_____1. The research report follows a format similar to that of an academic essay.
_____2. The abstract should be written prior to writing a conclusion.
_____3. An informative title is preferred when writing a research report.
_____4. The conclusion contains the details of the finding obtained from the study.
_____5. Gathering references can be done recursively.
_____6. It is better to have as many direct quotations as possible.
_____7. Majority of the paper content should be devoted to literature review.
_____8. Survey instruments should be aligned to research questions.
_____9. Tables and graphs for the gathered data are presented under the
introduction section.
_____10. The discussion section presents the procedure undertaken to compete the
study.
_____11. The introduction contains the purpose of the study and the current state of
the field of the study.
_____12. The literature review contains the explanation of relevant concepts and
related studies.
_____13. The methodology contains the description of participants and instruments.
_____14. Title and thesis statement are written differently.
_____15. Two different documentation styles can be used in one research report.
In writing a research report, you must
1. choose a topic that is interesting and relevant to your audience;
2. use the accepted format;
3. accomplish the purpose of each part of the report;
4. acknowledge the sources of the information you used in your report; and
5. be consistent with the citation style that you use. You must also keep in mind the
properties of a well-written text to make your writing appear more academic.
Write a research report using the parts given above based on the given data below.
