Conclusio n The objective of the Conclusion section is to examine the results, determine whether they solve the research question, compare them within themselves and to other results (from literature), explain and interpret them, and then draw conclusions or derive generalizations, and make recommendations for applying the results or for further research (Wilkinson, 1991:327). In writing this section,  Interpret and summarize the findings.  Revisit research questions and craft conclusion. State answers to research questions following their sequence.  Relate the conclusions to the research questions.  Limit the conclusions to the data presented  Be objective. Conclusio n  Avoid exaggerating or manipulating data to prove your point.  Present answers as general statements of findings.  Do not include related literature. In writing this section,  Write recommendations for beneficiaries of results of study cited in Significance of Study.  Look at limitations of study, in scope, sample, instruments, intervention implementation and adequacy, and data collection.  Give suggestions on how to improve the study based on the limitations.  Include areas for future research and give at least one example. Recomm endation Organize the parts of your research report based on the standard research-report structure that consists of the sequential components: Research Report Writing Title Abstract Introduction Methodology Results or Findings Conclusion Recommendations References Appendices Writing the Abstract Placement The abstract acts as the second major section of the document and typically begins on the second page of the paper. It follows directly after the title page and precedes the main body of the paper. Research Report Writing The abstract is a succinct, single-paragraph summary of your paper’s purpose, main points, method, findings, and conclusions, and is often recommended to be written after the rest of your paper has been completed. Familiarize yourself with the language of academic writing. Observe the mechanics of research-report writing which are as follows: a. Physical Appearance b. Quotations (block quotation) c. Footnotes Research Report Writing d. Statistics and Graphs e. Final Draft Consider the research-report writing styles or format.
