| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are conclusions based on? | Findings of the study. |
| Why avoid numerals in conclusions? | They limit the scope and impact of generalizations. |
| What must conclusions avoid? | Any statements not supported by findings. |
| What should conclusions answer? | The specific research questions or objectives. |
| Why must conclusions answer the research questions? | The study becomes meaningless if questions are unanswered. |
| What should conclusions point out? | What was factually learned from the inquiry. |
| What should conclusions NOT be based on? | Implied or indirect effects of findings. |
| How should conclusions be written? | Concise, brief, and complete. |
| How should conclusions be stated? | Categorically, as if 100% true. |
| What qualifiers should be avoided in conclusions? | Probably, perhaps, maybe. |
| What should conclusions refer to? | Only the population, area, or subject of the study. |
| Define research implications. | Logical relationships of findings to theory, phenomena, or practice. |
| What are practical implications? | Explain what findings mean when similar circumstances occur. |
| What are theoretical implications? | Statements supporting or contradicting theories or previous findings. |
| What should conclusions NOT do? | Repeat statements from the thesis. |
| What is acceptable repetition in conclusions? | Recapitulations, but worded differently. |
| Why avoid doubt in conclusions? | It weakens validity and reliability. |
| What is the role of findings in conclusions? | They serve as the sole basis for generalizations. |
| Why must conclusions be brief? | To convey essential information without unnecessary detail. |
| What is the overall purpose of conclusions? | To present the logical outgrowth of the study’s findings. |
| Define recommendations. | Appeals to solve or help solve problems found in the study. |
| What should recommendations aim to solve? | Problems identified in the investigation. |
| What should recommendations avoid? | Suggestions unrelated to findings. |
| What else may recommendations include? | Continuation or improvement of good practices. |
| What should recommendations aim for? | Ideal but feasible and practical solutions. |
| What makes a recommendation useless? | If it is impossible to implement. |
| What should recommendations be? | Logical and valid. |
| Example of a logical recommendation. | If facilities are lacking, recommend acquiring facilities. |
| To whom should recommendations be addressed? | People or agencies able to implement them. |
| Why address recommendations to proper authorities? | They have the power to act on them. |
| What recommendation must always be included? | Further research. |
| Purpose of recommending further research. | To verify, amplify, or negate findings. |
| Why recommend further research in other places? | To allow wider generalizations. |
| What should recommendations be based on? | Findings and conclusions. |
| What should recommendations avoid suggesting? | Actions unrelated to the study’s scope. |
| Why must recommendations be practical? | To ensure they can be implemented. |
| What is the role of findings in recommendations? | They determine what needs to be improved or solved. |
| Why include improvement recommendations? | To sustain or enhance effective practices. |
| Why must recommendations be attainable? | To avoid unrealistic or impractical proposals. |
| What is the overall purpose of recommendations? | To provide actionable solutions based on the study. |
| Define an abstract. | A short, self-contained summary of the entire research paper. |
| Is an abstract a review or evaluation? | No, it is neither. |
| Length of an abstract. | 6–7 sentences or 150–250 words. |
| What does an abstract contain? | Overview of introduction, method, results, interpretation, conclusion. |
| What should an abstract express? | Thesis and key points. |
| What should an abstract suggest? | Implications or applications of the research. |
| Is an abstract an excerpt from the paper? | No, it is an original summary. |
| First element of an abstract. | Reason for writing. |
| What does “reason for writing” address? | Importance of research and reader interest. |
| Second element of an abstract. | Problem addressed by the study. |
| What does the “problem” element include? | Scope, main argument, thesis, or claim. |
| Third element of an abstract. | Methodology. |
| What may methodology include? | Models, approaches, or types of evidence used. |
| Fourth element of an abstract. | Results. |
| How may results be presented? | Specific data or general findings. |
| Fifth element of an abstract. | Implications. |
| What do implications address? | Contribution to knowledge and applications of findings. |
| Why include implications? | To show practical or theoretical value. |
| Purpose of an abstract. | Present thesis, key points, and significance in one paragraph. |
| Why must an abstract be self-contained? | It must stand alone without needing the full paper. |
