RESEARCH WORK #3

CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3 consists of three parts the Purpose of the study and research design,
Methods, and Statistical Data analysis procedure. Part one, Purpose of the study and Research
Design, relates the purpose of the study and describe the research design and the variables
used in this study. Part two, Methods, describes the participants, the data gathering materials
and the research procedure used in the study. Part three, statistical data analysis procedures,
reports the procedure for scoring and the statistical analysis used to interpret the
hypothesis .This chapter reveals the methods of research to be employed by the researchering
conducting the study which includes the research design, population of the study, research
instrument and its development establishing its validity and reliability, data gathering
procedures, and the appropriate statistical treatment of data .This study was made by the
means of quantitative methods of researcher. There searcher attempted to get the answers to
the aforementioned problem and to justify and satisfy the objectives of the study. Likewise, it
also attempted to know the different impact to their life style. In developing the chapter three
of the research project, you state the purpose of research, research method you wish to adopt,
the instruments to be used, where you will collect your data, types of data collection, and how
you collected it. This chapter explains the different methods to be used in the research project.
Describe all methods and tell how you used them in your study. Clarify why each particular
technique would be the best choice for answering your research question. In chapter 3 thesis,
which is written in the same way as methodology part of a dissertation, you discuss how you
performed the study in great detail. It usually includes the same elements and has a similar
structure. You can use the outline example of this section for a dissertation but you should take
into account that its structure should illustrate the research approach and design of your
specific study. That’s why you should be careful and include only relevant elements into your
methodology section. It should be written like a recipe so that anyone could adopt your
techniques and replicate your investigation. It requires strong analytical and critical thinking
skills, dedication, and many hours of reading and writing. It’s essential to choose the right
approach to selecting and explaining investigation techniques.

CHAPTER 4

This chapter should provide the product of your analytic process. Think of it as a “stand
alone” chapter that you could hand to a friend and just by reading it, they would know exactly
what you discovered through your study. The chapter should reveal the “answers” to your
research questions and reflect the design you put forward in Chapter 2. It should also align to
the purpose of the study you offered in Chapter 1 as well as demonstrate why the study was
important to conduct in the first place. Your findings or results should connect to your literature
review and especially your conceptual framework. In some quantitative dissertations the results
section presents only the products of statistical analyses that have been conducted. In other
quantitative dissertation, the results section also provides a discussion that connects the results
to the relevant literature and conceptual framework. Your chapter needs to be organized in a
way that answers your research questions. The information must be organized in a way that is
logical and easy to follow for your reader.You may describe your sample here if this is
something that emerged from your data collection and analysis or if you believe it helps provide
context for your findings. You may also describe your sample in chapter 3 if it is not a part of
your findings and it becomes a distraction from your actual findings. You may organize your
chapter in terms of themes or categories or cases or research questions. You will want to
consider what information goes in an appendix as opposed to in the body of the chapter. For
example, if you have extra tables representing results that you think are worth sharing with
your reader but are not the main substance of your dissertation, you should consider creating
an appendix. Similarly, if you have other relevant but not essential information, you should
consider adding an appendix. And finally, you may decide to locate the instruments you used
for data collection in an appendix.

CHAPTER 5

Chapter 5 contains the research summary, conclusions and recommendations of the

whole study. The findings of the study without so much detailed information is written on the
summary. Generalizations and other interferences would be seen on the conclusion while the
recommendations of the researchers to the beneficiaries of this study can also be seen on this
chapter. Generally, this chapter aims to cover-up the end result of the study. This is the final
chapter of your dissertation and the most unique of them all. Before this, most of the chapters
can easily be written following a template with strict requirements for each section. However,
this chapter is the one where you get to be individualistic the most. Your goal in this final
chapter is to inform the reader of what your results are and what they mean. You emphasize
the key points to take away from the fundamental research you’ve done. You describe how
your results can help others both in the real world and in further research in the field. You are
free to state your opinion on your results and draw your own conclusions. This chapter aims to
remind your reader of your findings from the previous chapters, summarize your
interpretations, and illustrate how your research will affect the current understanding of the
field and its practical applications. This chapter is crucial to tying up your arguments and
solidifying your research work. Everything you’ve written till now builds up to this chapter,
where you conclude by giving the strongest and most important statement that highlights the
outcome of the study. In your conclusion, you must relate the research questions and
objectives to the existing knowledge and the significance of the study. You can freely state your
personal opinion on the collected data. The recommendations can either be for further study or
change or both. The recommendations should be based on your findings and could include
practical, real-world suggestions.

OUTPUT OF THE STUDY

An output is an outcome of research and can take many forms. Research Outputs must
meet the definition of Research. Knowledge utilization depends on having knowledge that is
useful and applicable to potential users. Scientific knowledge results from research. Research
outputs and technological advances often referred to in the literature as innovations are
described in research reports, journal articles, and in presentations, poster sessions, or exhibits
at conferences. Sometimes these are picked up by newsletters, the mass media, or change
agents; and sometimes these are demonstrated in selected settings. Research outputs may
include theories, models, paradigms, postulates, generalizations, or findings pointing to cause
and effect or covarying relationships among independent and dependent variables. Research
results may also include validated tests, curricula, techniques, programs, or systems.
Technological advances may include software products, devices, equipment or machinery. The
innovation may or may not be marketable for profit. Potential users may be policymakers,
practitioners, other researchers, the general public, or specific groups of clients, students,
patients, or significant others. They may be associated with varying groups, organizations,
businesses, cultures, or society. They may be in the public or private sector. This chapter
explores the factors predicting use of research outputs by potential users. Many of the factors
stem from studies couched in the framework of two communities: researchers versus users.
Factors are components of a product, process, or program. In scientific jargon factors are
described sometimes as variables, independent or dependent. Some factors are more
important than others in predicting the extent to which knowledge will be used. When looking
at users, this chapter distinguishes among the individual user, the organizational user, and the
societal user. Change at the individual level involves differing personalities, values, beliefs,
attitudes, stages of development, learning styles, tasks, roles, and relationships. Change at the
organizational level encompasses structures, systems, cultures, life cycle stages, leadership
styles, and decision making practices. Before detailing factors related to research outputs and
users, it is important to discuss sets of factors, the interrelatedness among them, and the
primary and secondary attributes aspect to factors studies.
