Lesson Drawing Conclusions
1
What’s In
After learning the previous lesson in Module 3, which was the interpretation of data, you now
have the idea of what is the result and findings of your study. You have to be very clear with your
results and findings of your study since that would be the basis for your conclusion which would
create an impact to your readers.
It is also expected that at this point, you have already drafted your Summary of Findings. 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. Make sure that this part is
presented briefly in a straightforward manner.
The summary of findings is where you are going to generate your conclusions. In this lesson,
you are going to generate answers or conclusions as what you have interpreted from the data gathered
from your research study.
In the conclusion part, no new information is expected. Researchers reconsider the research
questions and draw answers for these questions. 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.
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.
What’s New
Direction: Read the statements at the left column and write your conclusion at the right column.
Guide Questions:
1. Reflect on your given conclusions, do you think it is valid? Explain your answer.
In writing your conclusion, make sure to have a brief introductory statement before itemizing
the answers to your research questions. Remember that your conclusion should address or answer
every research inquiry you have in your research study. Here are some points you have to keep in
mind.
Please take note that there are different ways of formatting your conclusion. You can have it
numbered or in paragraphs, depending on your institutional format.
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.
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.
Here is an example of how conclusion answers the research questions and was drawn
from summary of findings.

Lesson
Formulating
2 Recommendations
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you learned to how to draft your conclusions based on the Results and
Discussion in Chapter 4 of your research study. From your summary of findings, you draw
conclusions. In writing your conclusions, the objective/s and research question/s including the
theoretical and practical implications must be considered.
Now, in this lesson, it is time to write your recommendations. It is based on your analysis and
conclusions which means that you will write down on what actions should be taken as a result of your
research findings. Other people use the term ‘suggestion’ in research recommendations.
.
What I Need to Know
Research Recommendations
Take note that, no matter how similar the studies are in content and context, their findings
may be different because they will depend heavily on the outcomes and current situations that have
occurred during the timeframe of the study. Your recommendations should point specific actions to be
addressed. An excellent advice would direct those affected by the situation to take concrete action on
what needs to be done to solve the issue or to resolve the situation.
1. Implications of your findings must identify the areas of concern that needs to be
addressed.
2. How can future studies address the limitations you encountered in your research?
