field
3. Describe how your research will help people, organizations or society
4. Indicate how your research will aid future studies in the field
5. Literature voids

Suggested sequence for writing the significance statement

2. Look at your research from general and specific angles in terms of its
(potential) contribution.
3. Once you have these points ready, start writing them, connecting them to
your study as a whole.
 Some ways to begin your statement(s) of significance

researchers to refine and expand studies in relation to cutting classes. This may serve as

a source of information about what provokes students to cut class on an individual's

academic perform.

Summary

Significance of the research is one of the key points in making a research paper,

it includes the reasons and what the research is for, its benefits and contributions for the

people, society and future studies to further our knowledge of things and come up with

answers. This can be a difficult part to write, but there are necessary guides or rules you

can follow in writing one.
