Chapter 4: Results and Discussion

• Present a brief introductory paragraph.
• The presentation and discussion may come in
subheadings representing the various
variables/themes of the study (thematic approach).
• Present the study’s data: what did you find
out/observe?
• The presentation may included tables and figures
but judiciously. (Is this table/figure really necessary?)

Chapter 4: Results and Discussion

• This should not include each and every detail of

what has been found out in the study. Rather,
be selective. Put in only those results/findings
that build the manuscript’s thesis or argument.
• Present salient findings/results based on the
formulated specific problems.

Chapter 4: Results and Discussion

• Discuss theoretical or methodological implications or
practical applications to the
discipline/profession/practice/existing policy. Include
possible causes of the condition as well as its probable
consequences if left to continue.
• Movement of ideas: from specific to general [e.g., relate
your study’s findings/data to the wider corpus of
literature by corroborating them with the theories and/or
literature reviewed.]

Chapter 5: Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations

SUMMARY
• Wrap-up/summarize the study’s argument by:
a) Writing a brief recapitulation of Chapters 1 and 2
by restating objectives, specific
b) problems of the study and methodology; and
c) Including a brief statement on the locale and
participants as well as the statistical tools used.

Chapter 5: Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations

RESULTS
Present the salient findings/results based
on the formulated specific problems; no
need to mention numerical figures (e.g.
weighted means)

Chapter 5: Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations

CONCLUSIONS
• State generalizations based on the findings
• Observe “one problem: one finding: one conclusion.” Match
each conclusion with the finding(s), and each finding with the
problem.
• Flexibility, however, may be considered in making conclusions;
it is not a must to state conclusions on a one-to-one
correspondence with the specific problems and the findings as
some or all variables can be subsumed in one paragraph.

Chapter 5: Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations

RECOMMENDATIONS
• State doable, feasible, and adaptable recommendations;
based on the findings and conclusions.
• Recommendations which are intended to motivate the
management of the researcher’s subject/institution to improve
the present system and condition, are called policy
recommendations; whereas, the so called research
recommendations are those aimed at replicating the thesis
for the use and benefit of others in the future.
• Point out direction/s for future investigation.
