CONCLUDING THE RESEARCH PAPER

Similar to the previous activity, research paper eventually comes
to its end point where all the ideas presented in earlier parts will culminate
and rationalize the findings of the study. This part is the most crucial
among the parts of a research paper because it binds all the concepts
presented in the paper to point out which direction the ultimately headed.
All information provided within the previous parts of the research
should be wrap it all up on this part, and no new information should be
presented. It is a primary error to present conclusions that are not directly
related to the evidence previously presented.
The concluding part is compromised of the summary of findings,
conclusion, and recommendations.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This section serves as a brief restatement of the major
findings of the study. This section includes summarized
statements for the overall purpose and objective of the study, the
type of research used, the nature and size of the sample, the
locale of the study, the main and sub-problems, and the major
findings of the research. However the statements should be
straightforward but still meaningful.
Summary of Findings Example 1:
After gathering, translating, analyzing and interpreting the
Origin of Names in Selected Barangays in Camalig, Albay, the
researchers came up with the following findings:
1. The twenty (20) legends of Origin of Names were classified into
three (3): A.) Language Barrier, B.) Significant
Events/Places/Persons, C.) Vegetation. Six (6) barangays fall
under the classification of Language Barrier between Spaniards
and the native residents.
2. The structural analysis of the twenty (20) folk narratives reveals
that:…
3. The researcher’s proposed instructional materials,…

Summary of Findings Example

After gathering, translating, analyzing and interpreting the Origin
of Names in Selected Barangays in Camalig, Albay, the researchers came
up with the following findings:
4. The twenty (20) legends of Origin of Names were classified into
three (3): A.) Language Barrier, B.) Significant
Events/Places/Persons, C.) Vegetation. Six (6) barangays fall under
the classification of Language Barrier between Spaniards and the
native residents.
5. The structural analysis of the twenty (20) folk narratives reveals
that:…
6. The researcher’s proposed instructional materials,…

CONCLUSIONS
Essentially, the conclusion contains insights drawn from the
findings of each problem. These insights answer the questions
presented at the beginning of the research paper. However, the
conclusion to be drawn should not come from the indirect implications
of the study. It should be limited within the information actually
yielded by the conducted investigations.

Conclusion Example
Based on the above-mentioned findings, the following
conclusions were drawn:
1. The existing legends behind the origin of names of selected
barangaysinCamalig, Albay were classified into three (3): A.)
Language Barrier, B.) Significant Events/Places/Persons, C.)
Vegetation.
2. The legends from the selected barangays all have the abstract,
orientation, and resolution. Out of 20 legends, 14 stories have
complicating action, and 10 stories have evaluation.
3. The researchers proposed instructional materials, a big story
book andcomic strips.

2. What are the things that needs to be resolved in the conclusion section of the
research paper?
3. What are the sections of the conclusion section of a research paper?

F. Assessment Activities

Suggested Task 4.
Activity:
Read the text below and provide the required information.

International Headlines 3.0 Exploring Youth-Centered Innovation in Global

News Delivery.

Traditional news media must innovate to maintain their ability to inform

contemporary audiences. This research project analyzes innovative news outlets
that have the potential to draw young audiences to follow global current events.
On February 8, 2014, a Pew Research Center Poll found that 52 percent of
Americans reported having heard little or nothing about the anti-government
protests in Egypt. Egyptians had been protesting for nearly two weeks when this
poll was conducted. The lack of knowledge about the protest was not a result of
scares media attention. In the United States, most mainstream TV news sources
(CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC) ran headline stories on the protests. Sparked by an
assignment in International Reporting J450 class, we selected 20 innovative news
outlets to investigate whether they are likely to overcome the apparent disinterest
of Americans, particularly the youth, in foreign news. Besides testing those news
outlets for one week, we explored the coverage and financing of these outlets, and
we are communicating with their editors and writers to best understand how and
why they publish as they do. We will evaluate them, following a rubric, and
categorize them based on their usefulness and effectiveness.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, these serve as practical suggestions for future
research in similar fields. They are envisioned to further improve the pertinent variables that were the subject of
the investigation undertaken.

Recommendations are expressed in clear and concise terms. They are relevant to the research
problems and feasible for implementation. The general recommendations may also be stated giving suggested
measures to concerned agencies, institutions, or to the government that may lead towards the betterment of
society in general.

The researcher’s final recommendation is addressed to other researchers who may want to pursue
similar studies. Moreover, suggested topics of interest or variables are given. In the case that the qualitative
study is conducted to propose an intervention program, the recommendation will be the adaptation of said
program.

[106] Practical Research 1 for Senior High School Students

Recommendations Example:
Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, the
followingrecommendations were established:
1. Government should implement programs prioritizing the
preservation and enrichment of Philippine Folk Literature.
2. Encourage every resident who knows the legends behind the
names
of their barangays to share them to their children for its
appreciation and preservation.
3. Students particularly those studying literature may conduct the
same study on folk literature especially on legends of other
communities for better understanding of the origin names of their
places.

REFERENCING

TYPES OF SOURCES
1. Primary Sources- research publications where researches report their findings.
2. Secondary Source-publications in which authors describe the work of others.
Texbook is also an example. Encyclopedia, research review and yearbooks are
also secondary sources for literature review.
What AM I CITING?

You can cite books, magazines, newspaper, computer articles, journal, film.
These can be your sources for your literature review.

Referencing Styles

 APA is an author/date based style. This means emphasis is placed on the

author and the date of a piece of work to uniquely identify it.
 MLA is most often applied in the arts and humanities, particularly in the USA
 HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the most well used referencing style
in the UK and Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the humanities.
 CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but are very similar.
They are also widely used for history and economics.

NOTE: Use APA referencing style for our research.

[107] Practical Research 1 for Senior High School Students

MODULE 8 Practical Research 1
For Senior High School

Ways of Citing

1. By author or writer
Example: According to Felipe(2015)
………………………………………………………..
2. By topic
Example: It has been found out that ………………………………………… .
(Felipe, 2015)

Remember: Only the major findings, ideas, generalizations, principles or

conclusions in related materials relevant to the problem should be cited.

Example: According to Felipe, “pregnancy is a condition where women should

take extra care of themselves, there is also a need to consult with a doctor to
check
if everything, if both the mother and the baby are doing fine” (Felipe,2015).

C. Post-Research Activities
Task 2. Discover your sources!

Activity:
Instructions: Read possible literatures/ studies related to your topic.
Listdown at least 5 reference/resources that is necessary for your
group’s research topic.

Example:
Relevant Idea from the source: Gambrell and Codling (2002) also believes that
motivation should be a central consideration in the reading curriculum because
it often makes the difference between learning that is superficial and shallow
and learning that is deep and internalized.
