Learning About It

The results of the research from the logical findings and conclusions
need to have the corresponding recommendations from the researchers. This
will provide you ideas in writing your recommendations.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, these serve as practical
suggestions for future research in similar fields. They are envisioned to further
improve the pertinent variables that were the subject of the investigation undertaken.
Recommendations are expressed in clear and concise terms. They are relevant
to the research problems and feasible for implementation. The general
recommendations may also be stated giving suggested measures to concerned
agencies, institutions, or to the government that may lead towards the betterment of
society in general.
The researcher’s final recommendation is addressed to other researchers who
may want to pursue similar studies. Moreover, suggested topics of interest or
variables are given. In the case that the qualitative study is conducted to propose an
intervention program, the recommendation will be the adaptation of said program.
Formulating the Recommendations of the Study
In preparing this part of your paper, remember that in making your
recommendations, you must show how your results support them. A recommendation
for a preferred alternative should include:
a. specific statements on what should be done, the steps required to
implement the policy, and the resources needed.
b. discussion of the benefits to the organization and what problems would
be corrected or avoided.
c. discussion of the feasibility of the proposed policy and
d. general statement about the nature and timing of the evaluation plan that
would be used to determine the effectiveness of the proposed policy.

they can handle. Little or simple things like school works trigger their emotional response
that lead to serious emotional and physical repercussion. Hypo Stress is the opposite which
is the results when the students bored by an unchallenged job such as working the same
task over and over again. Because of these, students trapped as restlessness and lack of
inspiration.

Conclusions:

vulnerability, involvements and simple excellent techniques specifically their locus of
control.
