Chapter 4: RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION
---All specific questions in Chapter 1 must
be answered in this chapter.
---this section answers the question “What
did you find out?”
Chapter 4: RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION
PRESENTATION OF DATA
1. Whenever possible, tabulate the data.
2. Report only relevant data
3. Summarize the results and analysis through tables,
graphs and/or diagrams
4.Avoid too many small tables of closely related data
which can be put together in one table for a more
comprehensive picture of the results
5. Avoid table with data that can be presented in a few
sentences in the text.
Chapter 4: RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION
Analysis of Data
1. Discuss each table, graph or diagram presented.
2. In discussing a table, do not simply repeat the data so
that the table will not be rendered useless.
3. Also include the following in the discussion:
a. all possible explanations and applications of the
findings.
b. literature that is pertinent to each findings.
c. Any defect in the methodology that may have
affected the research outcome.
d. other insights that may add meaning to the findings.
Chapter 4: RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION
Analysis of Data
4. Report all findings, including those that negate the
research hypotheses.
5. In reporting results of statistical tests, include the
degrees of freedom and level of significance
6. The report of findings should include statements as to
whether the hypotheses are rejected or not based on the
results of statistical tests.
7.In case the findings indicate a need to revise the original
conceptual framework, discuss this also in the report
8. It is not necessary to summarize the findings in the
chapter on results. It should be done in Chapter 5
Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF
FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
“What is the meaning of what you found out in your
study?”
SUMMARY
1. The findings are listed consecutively and
numbered for easy reference in the discussion of
the conclusions and recommendations which are
both based on specific findings.
2. The summary of the first three chapters is
written in the past tense, while summary of
findings is written in the present tense.
3. The summary does not contain any new
information.
Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF
FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion
1.Based on specific findings.
2. Answer all the research questions
3. Any generalization which is not supported by
sufficient data is not acceptable
4. Written in the present tense
Chapter 5: SUMMARY OF
FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation
1. Based on specific findings.
2. Two implications of research findings are:
a. implications for action and policies that
may be formulated.
B. implications for further research

It consists only of the research
instruments.
