 SYNTHESIZING INSIGHTS
FROM THE OBSERVATIONS,
COMMENTS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Synthesizing the insights from the observations,
comments, and recommendations serves as the next
phase in improving your conceptualized project.
Consolidating their responses could help the
proponent to deliver the project smoothly. However,
not all recommendations and suggestions shall be
considered. You still need to weigh things looking on
the pros and cons of the ideas.
In the previous lesson, you have generated
the comments, feedbacks and observations of
your evaluators for the improvement of your
concept paper. You are now holding it and
trying to understand their insights about your
project.
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to
synthesize insights from the observations,
comments, and recommendations of your peers
or teachers about your concept.
Learning Task 1: Recalling the process that you have accomplished on
generating the comments, feedbacks, and observations of your evaluators.
Using the timeline chart, fill in your answers.
* Recall ninyo if paano yung naging process natin para makakuha kayo ng mga comments,
feedback, and observations sa akin at sa 2 pang nag evaluate ng papel ninyo.
Learning Task 2: After doing the tasks
in generating the comments,
feedbacks and observations of the
evaluators, in one sentence, write
your summary on a sheet of paper.
Synthesis is the combination of the
constituent elements of separate
material or abstract entities into a single
or unified entity (opposed to analysis,)
the separating of any material or abstract
entity into its constituent elements.
When you write a literature review or
essay, you have to go beyond just
summarizing the articles you’ve read – you
need to synthesize the literature to show
how it all fits together.
Synthesizing simply means combining. Instead of
summarizing the main points of each source in turn,
you put together the ideas and findings of multiple
sources in order to make an overall point.
At the most basic level, this involves looking for
similarities and differences between your sources.
•A synthesis is a written discussion that draws on one or more
sources.
•You must go beyond the critique of individual sources to
determine the relationship among them. Is the information
in source B, for example, an ex-tended illustration of the
generalizations in source A? Would it be useful to com-pare
and contrast source C with source B? Having read and
considered sources A, B, and C, can you infer something else
- D (not a source, but your own idea)?
Because a synthesis is based on two or more sources,
you will need to be selective when choosing
information from each. It would be neither possible
nor desirable, for instance, to discuss in a ten-page
paper on the battle of Wounded Knee every point
that the authors of two books make about their
subject. What you as a writer must do is select the
ideas and information from each source that best
allow you to achieve your purpose.
 Mc Combes (2020) of
simplypsychology.com enumerated
four steps in synthesizing
information.
Step 1: Arrange your sources using a summary table
Subsequent to social affair significant reactions, you have as of
now bunches of data that can assist you with improving your
idea. Be that as it may, you don't know whether these will be
useful for the improvement of the idea.
Before you consolidate all the proposals of the evaluators, you
have to sort out your notes in a manner that permits you to see
the connections between sources
What is a Summary Table
A summary table groups the key
purposes of each source under steady
headings. This is a decent methodology
if your sources will in general have a
comparative structure
Synthesis matrix
A synthesis matrix is useful
when your sources are more
varied in their purpose and
structure – for example, when
you’re dealing with books and
essays making various different
arguments about a topic.
Step 2: Organize your structure
Presently you ought to have an away
from of the primary associations and
contrasts between the sources you've
perused. Next, you have to choose how
you'll bunch them and the request in
which you'll examine them.
For shorter papers, your diagram can
simply distinguish the focal point of each
passage; for longer papers, you should
partition it into areas with headings
Step 3: Gather the topic sentences of the
evaluators’ responses.
Step 4: Revise, edit and proofread
Like any other piece of academic
writing, synthesizing literature
doesn’t happen all in one go – it
involves redrafting, revising, editing
and proofreading your work.
Learning Task 3: Go back with your generated comments,
feedbacks and observations of your peers/teachers.
Read once again the responses for you to prepare what
to be written in your next learning task.

Learning Task 4: Using the summary table below,

organize your generated responses. Do this on your
answer sheet. (See table on the next slide)

(Note: Lt3 and Lt4 is equivalent to 1 task only)

Learning Task 5: After summarizing the responses of your peers and teachers, plot their
responses according to its themes. Thematic plotting of responses will help you to select what
should be highlighted in your synthesis. Use the table below to do the task on your answer
sheet.

*yung theme nalang na ilalagay ko ang Gawain ninyo po. Lagay ninyo po dun yung

Learning Task 6: Directions: Using the created
summary and synthesizing tables, write your
paragraphs considering the topic sentences
based from the generated responses. Write the
paragraphs on your answer sheet.

Note: ito ay yung naka paragraph form or essay po ng ginawa ninyo sa

tables. Pakibasa at unawa yung lesson sa pages 32-36
Learning Task 7: To accomplish your synthesis, do the
self-checklist of your created synthesis. Do this on
your answer sheet. (Copy and answer)
Thank you and God Bless!
