Assigned Readings:
 GUIDELINES IN WRITING THE PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Presentation
 is a way of arranging data into a logical, chronological and significant categories
and classification

Three Ways of Presenting Data:

 Tabular
 Graphical
 Textual

Tabular Presentation
 Tables organize and compress data into standardized forms
 Facilitates the study and interpretation

Reason for using Tabular Presentation of Data

 Data in tables are grouped and are arranged systemically
 Relationships of data are seen easily
 Presents ideas that are understood even without reading the textual presentation
 The title should identify the table briefly.
 Omit the words Frequency and Percentage Distribution of/ Distribution of/
According to:
Heading:
-generally expressed in phrase or clause form.
It contains:
Stub, Stub heads, Row labels, Box head, Master caption, Column
caption, Column sub caption
The body or text of the table
 Contains all the quantitative and proportional information presented in the table
in rows and in columns.

Guidelines in Constructing Tables

1. A double line written 2 spaces below the title separates the title from the table.
2. Horizontal lines separate the stub head and the column caption.
4. Side ends of Tables are unruled.
3. Lines do not separate rows and columns. Rows are double-spaced.
5. A line from the last row of information separates bottom total.
6. Table is separated from the textual presentation by two spaces. If the table succeeds
the textual presentation, there should be 3 spaces in between the last line of the
text and the table number.

Graphical Presentation
 Bar Graph
 Line Graph
 Circle Graph
 Picture Graph
 Map Graph

 GUIDELINES IN WRITING SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS

AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 Refer to the hypotheses, objectives, or questions. Assess the meaning of the

results by evaluating and interpreting. Speculation should be reasonable, firmly
justified, and subject to test. This is the hardest part to write because
committees may challenge the interpretation of the data in the Defense. List the
primary research questions from Chapter 1 and answer them with the results.
Cite several studies from Chapter 2 for comparison and contrast with the results.

Conclusions
 The conclusions relate directly to the research questions or objectives. They
represent the contribution to the knowledge. They also relate directly to the
significance of the study, which is always, in some way, to improve the human
condition. These are the major generalizations, the answer to the problem(s)
revealed in Chapters 1 and 2. For the first time in the dissertation, the researcher
can state a personal opinion when the collected data support it.
Recommendations
 These can take two forms: recommendations for further study, or
recommendations for change, or both. Each recommendation should trace
directly to a conclusion.

References
 These will follow the specific format of an individual style guide, such as APA,
Chicago, or other. Every name and year in the body of the text should be
repeated in the list of references with no exceptions.

Appendices
 In a qualitative or quantitative, if the study involves an organization, a letter of
permission to conduct the study is required from the appropriate administrator at
the organization. In a qualitative study, a letter of invitation and consent form
from all adult participants is included, and a letter of permission from parents if
minors are involved. Data collection instruments are included. Some institutions
require a vita at the end.
