####### What This Module is About

The essence of this module is to generate conclusions based on the results and findings of the study and to formulate significant recommendations for the enhancement of

the research. This module would signify the completeness of the research since conclusions and recommendations will be emphasized here. Moreover, they will be the basis for some ideas as reference for further or new research studies.

At the end of this learning module, learners are expected to draw conclusions in accordance with their research questions and formulate recommendations which has impact for their research study in their field of choice.

The following are the lessons contained in this module:

####### What’s New

Activity 1: Therefore, I Conclude...

Direction: Read the statements at the left column and write your conclusion at the right column.

Situation Therefore, I conclude that....

  1. You are attending your Math class at 3:00 P., and suddenly you heard a loud bang from the sky.

  2. You are about to open the door of your house when you heard your mom and dad arguing about your college plans.

  3. You failed to remind your classmates at your FB Group Chat (GC) to bring the materials for the coastal clean-up drive.

  4. Your teacher reminded you to study your previous lessons for the upcoming quarterly exam. However, a close relative died in the next town, who is scheduled to be buried on the same day of your exam.

  5. Your friend invited you to her birthday party. You failed to inform your parents because you don’t have a cellphone load.

Guide Questions:

  1. Reflect on your given conclusions, do you think it is valid? Explain your answer.




  2. In writing research conclusions, what factors should be considered?

####### What Is It

Guidelines in Writing Your Research Conclusion

In writing your conclusion, make sure to have a brief introductory statement before

itemizing the answers to your research questions. Remember that your conclusion should address or answer every research inquiry you have in your research study. Here are some

points you have to keep in mind.

1. Avoid merely summarizing. Make inferences from the summary of results.

2. State your conclusion in a clear and simple language.

Emphasize the purpose of your study then relate how your findings differ from other studies.

3. Do not just reiterate the discussion of your results.

Provide a synthesis of arguments presented in the paper to show how these converge to address the research problem and the overall objectives of your study.

4. Avoid using numerals, figures, or simply repeating the results.

The focus of this part of research paper is not presenting results nor findings. Inferences and implications are emphasized in the conclusions of the study.

5. Indicate opportunities for future research.

Highlighting the need for further studies provides the reader with that evidence that you have an in-depth awareness of the research problem.

Please take note that there are different ways of formatting your conclusion. You can

have it numbered or in paragraphs, depending on your institutional format.

Research Implications

Research Implications are important content of your conclusion. It refers to the logical relations and their result in a given situation. The conclusions you draw from the findings,

how you linked those to a specific theory or practice comprises the implication of the study. There are two forms of implications: the practical and theoretical implications.

Practical Implication is also called as convenient implication. It is a realistic

explanation of what your research findings might mean and the fact that would arise if those circumstances were met.

Example: Studying the implications of room-to-room campaign reveals that, it is more effective in increasing awareness of how to fight COVID-19 than announcing it during the students’ morning assembly.

####### Lesson

Formulating

2 Recommendations

####### What’s In

In the previous lesson, you learned to how to draft your conclusions based on the Results and Discussion in Chapter 4 of your research study. From your summary of findings, you draw conclusions. In writing your conclusions, the objective/s and research question/s including the theoretical and practical implications must be considered.

Now, in this lesson, it is time to write your recommendations. It is based on your analysis and conclusions which means that you will write down on what actions should be taken as a result of your research findings. Other people use the term ‘suggestion’ in research recommendations.

.

####### What I Need to Know

Research Recommendations

Recommendations can be described as a suggestion regarding the best course of action to take as a result of your summary of findings and conclusion. The purpose of a recommendation is to provide a useful guide that will not only address certain problems but result in a successful outcome.

Take note that, no matter how similar the studies are in content and context, their findings may be different because they will depend heavily on the outcomes and current situations that have occurred during the timeframe of the study. Your recommendations should point specific actions to be addressed. An excellent advice would direct those affected by the situation to take concrete action on what needs to be done to solve the issue or to resolve the situation.

Generally, recommendations include how to further improve the pertinent variables or treatment used in the study, suggestions to concerned individuals or agencies, future researchers who may want to pursue similar studies, and suggests variables or research methods for future use.

Two Functions of Recommendations

Two major purposes of the research recommendations should be considered to be to craft a good recommendations.

  1. Implications of your findings must identify the areas of concern that needs to be addressed.
  2. How can future studies address the limitations you encountered in your research?
