Lesson Drawing Conclusion and

Formulating
1 Recommendation
In the process of researching, it is very important to know how you will
effectively sum up the data that you gathered in the course of your study. The
interpretation of data of your study has a pivotal part in identifying the significance
of it in the scholastic aspect of writing.

As a student researcher, drawing logical conclusions and formulating

unbiased recommendations have equal importance in the development of the
academic excellence of the institution. Thus, the two aforementioned processes
significantly affect the development of their target clients and/or can be a key part
of the professional and academic market research.

As you go through this lesson, you will understand the guidelines in drawing
a logical conclusion and formulate recommendations based on your research.
 What’s In

Before you draw a logical conclusion, it is important to identify first the

relevant data that you can utilize and/or use. Based on your previous studies, you
learned that significant data can impact your study impressively. Consequently, the
coherence and unity of your data will be smoothly sailed and be maintained in the
research ideals.

Take a look at the paragraph below and identify the relevant data.

Take a look at the paragraph below and identify the relevant data.

It would be beneficial to all stakeholders in education i.e parents,

teachers, and government to encourage and uplift the spirit of the students
towards education and develop their respective areas of responsibilities, such as .
providing study material, creating a conducive place to study, recognizing
students’ excellence, appreciating students’ hard work as soon as possible among
others.
These will help students to motivate themselves positively towards their study and
academic excellence.
 Based on the recommendation above try to draw a possible conclusion.

Notes to the Teacher

This module will prepare the students to learn how to draw logical conclusion and unbiased recommen

What’s New

I will provide a certain scenario then figure out the key data to fully
understand the problem. Through that, look for a significant result that can be
useful in drawing your conclusion and formulating your recommendation.

47% of different academic strand students from National Senior High School
often get disappointing grades or marks in their report card due to difficulty in
English language proficiency exam in the English-speaking university that they
applied. While 80% of international school students ace the exam with an excellent
mark. According to the lecturer, he set some standards in the essay exam before he
allowed the students to start with the second part of the ELPT.

Conclusion

Recommendation
 What is It

In every research, there is a distinct section where the researcher sums up

all the key points of his/her discussion, the essentials of their design, or the
significant outcomes/results of their investigation or study. The conclusion is the
total story of the study (Monash University, 2018)

According to Sepillo (2017), it is necessary to generally know some pointers

on how to draw a logical conclusion. Conclusion should:
a. Present the last word on the issues or gaps raised in your paper.
b. Summarize your thoughts and convey the larger significance of your study
c. Identify how a gap in the literature has been addressed.
d. Demonstrate the importance of your ideas.
e. Introduce possible new or expanded ways of thinking about the research
problem

completely benefit from the privileges of using Classera in teaching and learning
unless all challenges are taken into consideration. All barriers that hinder integrating
technology in teaching and learning and preventing the effective use of Classera in
Saudi schools should be addressed. Teachers play an important role when it
comes to the adoption and implementation of a new intervention in schools. When
it comes to the use of technology, teachers are central to the promotion of a
technology- integrated environment that promotes constructivist learning. Therefore,
while the short-term purpose of this study was to explore the perspective of Saudi
Arabia should continue to be explored from teachers’ perspective to make sure that
the challenges and barriers are overcome to ensure successful and continued
adoption and implementation.
recommendations always address limitations and suggestions on how they may
overcome the challenges that they may encounter again in the future research
process.

Sepillo (2017) listed the general process of writing your recommendation –

recommendation should be:
a. Specific statement 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. A general statement about the nature and timing of an evaluation plan that
would be used to determine the effectiveness of the proposed policy.

For many research projects in any scientific discipline, the conclusion is the
final yet the most important part of the research topic – whichever reasoning
processes and research methods were used. The conclusion is critical and can
determine the success or failure of the study due to the data, result, and how you
conducted the study. While, for the recommendation section, the researcher will have
the opportunity and privilege to present and discuss the action that the future
researcher should take into consideration based on the result of the study. Ideally,
the researcher should make a formal recommendation regarding the alternatives or
some sort of other ways and understanding that is best supported by the study. The
recommendation must present and discuss the kinds of additional research
suggested by the researcher’s project.

What’s More

In this exercise, we will have a simple task that you need to understand and
do. Also, you need to complete the data for you to have your conclusion and
formulate your recommendation. Connect this simple activity in research following
the technicalities of writing your report.

Imagine that you have 10 eggs, then your teacher asked you to drop the egg
from the roof, how can you keep the egg from breaking? And how many eggs will be
broken?

These are the questions that you need to answer:

1. Does your egg broke or not?

2. What did you do?
3. What would you do differently?
4. Did you follow your original plan? If not, what did you change and why?
5. What do you think is the reason why your egg survive from the experiment
or did not survive?
 After you answer the following questions, kindly create your conclusion and
recommendation based on the simple activity. Use the box for your data,
conclusion, and recommendation.

 What I Have Learned

Answer the following questions precisely.

Why do the conclusion and recommendation important in the research process?

What is the significant effect of poor construction of conclusion and

recommendation?

How can you say that the conclusion and recommendation that you write are
helpful and/or useful for future researchers and/or researches?

How can the general pointers in drawing conclusions and formulating

recommendations help you as a student researcher?
 What I Can Do

In the study of Wang(2012), Research on Business Strategy and Performance

Evaluation in Collaborative Design, draw your conclusion based on the given data
below and formulate your recommendation based on your conclusion. Choose only
the significant data for a precise conclusion.

This module will also provide the aim of the study for you to have an idea of
how you will add some information to your conclusion and recommendation.

Example:

Conclusion

This study marks the proposed collaborative designs of three well-known

companies that greatly influenced the business of operation that lead them to a well-
established institution in the business field. Based on table 1 Strategies used by case
companies to respond to current challenges, the three companies have their
specification in dealing with the challenges – how they prepare, and solve the
challenges that they may encounter or already encountered. In addition, the three
companies ensured that those difficulties may not affect the stability of their tenure
in the business world.

Recommendation

In accordance to the above conclusion, the three major companies must not
focus on the challenges that they need to face on the run of a certain period, they
must also visualize the possible challenges that may branch to other issues in that
way other preparation may be done. In regards to the future researchers who will
explore the same line of this research I, as the researcher, would like to recommend
to study not only the actions of the three companies in dealing the challenges but
also the well-being of their employees, thus it may strengthen the foundation of the
said study.
 Aim of the study:

The purpose of this research can be divided into three distinct points:

1. Propose a structural analysis of how collaborative design influences the

business operation
2. Discuss how enterprises and their partners can share the experience
via collaborative design and how it changes the business operation
3. Develop a performance evaluation method for the collaborative design
mechanism and their partners share the experience via a collaborative
design mechanism to explore how it can be effectively applied and serve
as a reference for other industries.

These are the result that you can use as your basis:

 Additional Activities

As your follow up activity read the conclusion of Cortez (2017) titled “Gay
Language: Impact on Colloquial Communication in Barangay Sto.Tomas, City of
Binanm Laguna” and replicate the study providing your conclusion and
recommendation.
Conclusion

The following conclusions were derived after analyzing the findings: as to the
profile of the respondents, most were relatively under the young adult bracket
and the majority of the respondents were female. The majority of the respondents
had an outstanding rating in terms of understanding gay language, in terms of
acceptability the respondents agreed that they accepted fully gay language and
as to usage the respondents fairly agreed that they used gay language
sometimes in their daily living. There was no significant difference noted in the
impact of gay language on colloquial communication when the respondents were
grouped according to age and gender.

Recommendation

Educators and media need to pay more attention and cultivate awareness to
the 20-39 age bracket of the young female as to the proper use of gay
language, especially in communication. People should be involved in the issues
of using gay language as colloquial communication to protect a safe environment
and protect people from bullying and meanness. Gay language can be accepted
and used by many people but should be properly guided to avoid offensive
language. Further studies maybe conducted to validate the findings of this
study
