Drawing Conclusions

Conclusion
a type of inferential or interpretative
thinking that drives its validity,
truthfulness, or reasonableness from your
sensory experience. Touching, seeing,
hearing, tasting, and smelling things
around you lead to a particular conclusion
about those experiences.
Drawing Conclusions
In a research work, your next move after
analyzing the data you have gathered is drawing
conclusions. This makes you form conclusions
that arise from the factual data you encountered
and analyzed. Any conclusions drawn or
deducted by you from facts or statements
resulting from logical thinking rather than from
another assumption, prediction, or generalization
are the only ones included in the conclusion
section of your research paper. (Decilo 2014)
Any conclusion that you give about what you
have found out through your analysis of the
data collected is a “warranted conclusion”
which explains how the evidence or findings
resulting from your data analysis stands to
prove or disprove your conclusion. And, by
large, the best kind of proof to back up your
conclusion is one that is factual and logical or
given by correct reasoning.
Pointers in Writing Conclusions
Explain your point in simple and clear sentences.
Use expressions that center on the topic rather than
on yourself, the researcher.
Include only necessary items; exclude any piece of
information or picture not closely related to your
report.
Have your conclusion contain only validly
supported findings instead of falsified results.
Practice utmost honesty and objectivity in stating
