What’sIn?
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.
