Lesson 18

The document discusses conclusions and recommendations in qualitative research. It notes that conclusions summarize key findings and leave a lasting impression. Recommendations propose solutions based on conclusions. When writing conclusions and recommendations, they should be brief, clear, precise, and avoid broad generalizations. Recommendations must consider the intended audience and suggest next steps rather than simply restating conclusions.

Drawing Conclusions

Vary Your Sources

• Conclusions is the first section of your Chapter 5. This


section as described by Prieto et al. (2017), is
commonly composed of the inclusive summary of
findings of the research study. In this section, you can
find facts that were learned from the inquiry.
Conclusion serves an important part in making a
research paper as it is the chance of the researcher to
leave a lasting impression
• Concluding qualitative research needs the researcher to recall more
thoroughly the problem statement, objectives, and results and
findings of your analysis and how they connect and organize together.
The aim is to integrate them to come up a comprehensive, logical,
and smart answer or explanation to the research question. Research
conclusion has its important roles and purpose in a research study.
These are commonly elaborated as the following: a) it stresses out the
importance of the thesis statement, b) it gives the written work a
sense of completeness, c) it leaves a final impression to the readers
and d) it demonstrates good organization.
• Conclusions are inferences, deductions, abstractions, implications,
interpretations, general statements and/or generalizations based
upon the finding. It should appropriately answer the specific
questions raised at the beginning of the investigation in the order that
they are given under the statement of the problem.
• When making the conclusion in qualitative research, it should be
drawn from the patterns and themes. Patterns and themes that were
extracted from the real-life experiences. In vanManen’s point of view,
conclusions can be best illustrated in literary works as poem, quote,
and/ or songs as it conveys emotions like making metaphors. Through
metaphor like results can go beyond a descriptive synthesis of data.
Strategies or tips to writing conclusions:
1. Write in a manner that is comfortable to you and edit while writing. 2.
Write to be understood. Do not write to impress or to sound smart. Avoid
highfalutin words to replace the common but clearer ones.
3. Write from an objective distance. Remember that you are writing a formal
academic paper.
4. Write in a fresh new style. In concluding your qualitative research, you are
supposed to present a new knowledge after all.
5. Conclusions should be formulated concisely, that is, brief and short, yet
they convey a meaningful and logical arguments. It is important that
conclusions have a conceptual significance and can imply, indicate, or chart
future research directions.
Making Recommendations
Based on Conclusions
• A recommendation in research proposes a solution to a problem or
evaluates possible solutions and recommends one. Before crafting a
recommendation, the investigator must look
Tips in Writing Considerations
• Recommendations must be brief. When writing your
recommendations, take note to write it concisely and as brief as
possible.
• Recommendations should be clear. You must state the specific
suggestions that you want to imply in you study.
• Recommendations must be precise. When giving suggestions, you
should avoid vague recommendations to secure sufficient results.
As recommendations should be crafted briefly, clearly
and precisely, here are some guidelines by Prieto et al.
(2017) that you can use
• You must avoid writing broad and generic recommendations. Also,
avoid recommendations that are directly related to the topic of the
research.
• Remember that recommendations are one step further than the
conclusion. •
• You must take into consideration that recommendations must be
specified according to the areas of concern (i.e. academe,
policymakers, etc.)
References
• References list is part of the paper that provides information
necessary to locate and retrieve the source of the material. The
purpose of the reference list is to allow the sources to be found by the
reader. It gives credit to authors of the publication being consulted
and extracted from the ideas. All references cited in the text must
appear in the reference list. Bibliography is another form of reference
listing with different style as it lists all the sources used during
research and background reading.
• In-text citation refers to all of the citations that can be found in all of
the chapters in your research paper. Proper citation of a source is
important for you to avoid complications and problems on the
authenticity of your data once your paper is already published.
• Citing of sources comes in two (2) manners, namely:
• a) in-text citation and b) referencing list.
The commonly used information in this manner of citation are the
following:
• Author’s name
• Date of the publication of the source
• The page number where you found the information.
Referencing list refers to the bibliography and/or references of your
research paper. This holds the summary of the information of all of your
sources. Information needed in making the referencing list involves the
following:
• Author’s name
• Date of the publication of the source.
• The page number where you found the information.
• Publisher
• Place of Publishing
• Volume
• Edition
• Other relevant information
