- The attitudes of farmers toward organic farming varied across different aspects of organic farming. Farmers had a very positive attitude toward the use of standards, proper harvesting and marketing, and advantages/disadvantages of organic farming. However, their attitudes were not as positive toward organic farming commodities, effectiveness, and importance. - Statistical analysis confirmed that the farmers' attitudes differed significantly. This difference can be attributed to varying levels of patience, talent, honesty, and goals among individual farmers. - It is concluded that the farmers have a mixed view of organic farming, being more convinced by some aspects than others. They are recommended to attend educational sessions to improve their knowledge and attitudes regarding all aspects of organic farming.

2. General Steps in the Discussion of
Tables and Statistical Results
• Present summary of data from the table.
• State results of statistical computations for both
descriptive and inferential.
• State the implication(s) and attribute(s) of the
data.
• Corroborate and contrast the results of the finding
through the set of your review literature.
• Use either past or present tense. Do not
editorialize, sermonize or moralize, and campaign.

3. Presentation of Data
1. Arrange findings based on the statement of the
problem/objectives of the study. Have sub-titles
based on the key words of the objectives.
2. Summarize data in graphical or tabular form or with
the use of other convenient methods such as charts.
3. Introduce graphs, tables, plates and figures before
presenting them. Tables, graphs, figures or plates
that do not occupy the whole page should start or
end a page. They are never placed in between text. If
they occupy more than a page, continuation/s must
follow immediately.
4. In the textual presentation of data from tables,
figures and charts, exact repetition of figures, even
expressing them in words, should be avoided.

5. • When the highest figure in the distribution
does not exceed fifty percent, don’t state
majority, just state “the greatest number of
the respondents”

6. Interpretation of Results
• Interpretation of results follows right after
presentation and analysis of data. This section
explains meanings of the results of described data,
decides whether hypotheses are rejected or
accepted, and gives implications of findings.
• Tabular and graphical interpretation highlights,
statistical interpretation implications, inferences,
attributes are introduced. Assumptions stated may
be played up. In corroborating, contradicting, or
confirming results, literature, quotations and other
evidences are used.

7. Summary
The summary should make a short but accurate
statement of the findings based on the
statement of the problem/objectives of the
study.
For instance, if one of the objectives of a certain
study deals with determining the academic
performance of education students, then the
summary should focus only on the academic
performance of such students giving emphasis
on whether the performance is high, medium or
low.

8. CONCLUSION
• For the conclusion, the most appropriate basis is
the statement of the hypothesis of the study.
Were there significant differences in the
findings? For example, from the above summary
of findings, the conclusion can be stated as, “It is
therefore concluded that the academic
performance of the education students differ
significantly.” You can make the necessary
statement of differences after concluding.

9. RECOMMENDATIONS
The finale of your manuscript is the
recommendation. It is a statement of the
suggestion you offer to your readers based on
the conclusion made from the study.
For example, taking again the conclusion above,
one recommendation you state would be, “Since
the academic performance of education students
differs, it is strongly recommended that teachers
should be to give equal attention to their
students to realize a more or less high and
homogeneous academic performance.”

10. There is no hard-and-fast rule as to the number
of recommendations that you can offer;
hence, you can make one or more
recommendations per conclusion. Likewise,
recommendations for policy implications like
models or paradigms including future studies
are highly desired in every research study.

11. Example
The attitudes of the respondents towards organic
farming are shown in Table 2 indicating
differences in weighted means from 2.05 (not
much accepted) to 3.02 (very much accepted).
The general weighted mean is 2.60, very much
accepted. Based on the data, the aspects which
are very much accepted by the respondents are
the use of standards which has the highest
weighted mean, 3.02; followed by proper
harvesting and marketing, 2.82; and advantage
and disadvantage, 2.77. However, the attitudes

2.5; effectiveness, 2.49; and importance of organic
farming, 2.05 are not much accepted. The t
computed value, which is higher than the tabular
value at .05 percent level of significance led to the
acceptance of the hypothesis that the attitude
towards organic farming differ.
The finding implies that the attitudes of the
farmers toward organic farming vary. The varying
attitudes of the farmers toward organic farming can
be attributed to patience, talent, honesty and goal

14. of the farmers. This means that the more
different the levels of patience, talents, honesty,
and goals, the more different the attitudes
toward organic farming. This finding supports
Harr (1945) stating that behaviors of farmers in
composting crop residues requires patience and
resourcefulness.

15. Summary
The finding shows that the attitude of the
respondent-farmers toward organic farming
differ along various aspects very much accepting
the use of standards, proper harvesting and
marketing, and advantage and disadvantage of
organic farming while not much accepting
farming commodities, effectiveness, and
importance of organic farming.

16. Conclusion
Based on the findings, it is concluded that the
attitudes of the farmers toward organic farming
vary. The farmers are positive over the use of
standards, proper harvesting and marketing,
and advantage and disadvantage of organic
farming. They are not quite convinced however,
on organic farming commodities, effectiveness,
and importance of organic farming.

17. Recommendation
1. Since attitudes toward organic farming differs,
the farmers are encourage to attend seminars,
workshops, lectures and demonstrations
regarding all aspects of organic farming to give
them adequate information paving way to
positive attitude towards organic agriculture.
2. The concerned agencies must organize
programs, projects or advocacies to motivate
farmers to go into organic agriculture.
