 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the way in writing conclusions and recommendations in research. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them
can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Draw Conclusions from Patterns and Themes
• Lesson 2 – Formulate Recommendation Based on Conclusion

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. draw a conclusion from patterns and themes; and
2. formulate recommendations based on the conclusion

1
 What I Know

Your whole new adventure starts here! Let us see what you know about writing
conclusions. Identify what is asked from each given statement by choosing your
answer in the box below. Write your answers on your notebook.

APA Recommendation Conclusion

Noting patterns and themes Clustering Thematic analysis

1. It is based on the findings and conclusion of the study and it can be a source
of topics for future researches.

2. This process refers to the grouping of data and in conceptualizing information

that has similar patterns and characteristics.

3. It contains insights drawn from the findings per sub-problem. it summarizes

the principal feature of the study.

4. It is the recurring themes put together many separate pieces of data.

5. It is a type of referencing based on the Harvard library system of referencing

which is adopted by many other natural social sciences.

2
 Lesson
Draw Conclusion from
1 Patterns and Themes
You may probably hear the word conclusions during your science class when you
are conducting an experiment or in English class when you are reading a short story
and your teacher ask the plot analysis and the concluding part of it or even in
Mathematics class when you are trying to solve numerical problems on the board.

One of the great feelings in the world of research is when you reach the part of the
conclusions. It simply means that the end is near and the answer to your research
problem and the toil of your labor is about to end. Casabal (2013) said conclusion is
simply stated, devoid of any elaborated discussion of the findings. Each item in the
conclusion is an accurate statement that specifically addresses the problems
mentioned. These specific statements serve as the basis for the formulation of the
general conclusion of the study.

The researchers have to state the conclusion using clear and simple language, and
no new information should be added, it is in the conclusion to describe the value of
your research study.

What’s In

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise. Write your answers
on your notebook.

1. In qualitative research, there are two primary ways of doing the analysis,
“content” and “thematic” analysis.
2. Qualitative data may be organized by theme, participant and/or research
question.
3. The data should be summarized and analyze the results in relation to the
research questions.
4. Procedures in coding must be tailored to a particular or specific analytical
approach; they are not generic.
5. Results of analysis in qualitative research can be presented in appropriate
narrative, graphical and/or visual format.

3
 What’s New

Conclusion defined.
After a rigorous examination and discussing the data and findings of your study, you
have to summarize and get the main point of your research with your interpretations
and understanding. The researchers need to go beyond the result with his
comprehension and understanding of the research study. The researchers make a
conclusion based on empirical data and makes an insight regarding the conclusion.

It contributes to the body of knowledge and fills the gap in it. The conclusion also
relates to the significance of the study and answer the research problem developed
and established in chapter 1 and 2 which the study binds and anchor together.

In this section, personal opinion is permitted, as long as it is backed with the data,
grounded in the research methods, and supported in the literature.

Read the story and answer the provided activity below. Write your answers on your
notebook.

The Traveler

In his small town, a man who had traveled far and wide came home. He called the
villagers together to tell them all the marvelous things he had done in all the
places he had been. In Russia, he had built a palace and cut bricks of ice. He flew
the best dragon kite anyone ever saw in China. He was chasing a lion in Africa.
He'd jumped higher in Australia than the kangaroos. He'd jumped higher than
any living man. At first, the villagers listened with curiosity and then started to
smile. They turned to walk away, but the traveler said there was a myriad of
people who saw me jump high in Australia. They'd be delighted to be his
witnesses. One of the villagers lookback to the traveler and said. “My good man,”
“You don't need any witnesses.” Just imagine and pretend that you are in Austria
come and show us how you jumped high.”

1. What is the reason why the traveler gathers all the villagers and tell his
experiences about his travels?
a) He wanted to be admired by them.
b) He wanted them to be laughed at.
c) The traveler, they thought, was a famous man.

2. At first, why were the villagers at first interested in the stories of the travelers?
a) The stories were real, they thought.
b) The villagers know that the traveler was bragging.
c) The villagers knew that a traveler is a famous man.

4
 3. What do you think is the reason why the villagers started to smile and walk
away from the traveler?
a) The villagers amaze by the story of the traveler.
b) The villagers felt envy to the traveler.
c) The villagers knew that the traveler is bragging and tell lies.

4. Why did the traveler claim that Australia had a myriad of people who would be
his witnesses?
a) Because he had been in Austria before.
b) The traveler wanted the villagers to believe him.
c) The traveler wanted to go to Austria.

5. Think about what makes the most sense, to draw a conclusion:

One of the villagers lookback to the traveler and said. “My good man,” “You
don't need any witnesses.” Just imagine and pretend that you are in
Austria come and show us how you jumped high.”

This is probably because:

a) The villager realized that he couldn't jump as high as the traveler said.
b) The villager wants to see how the traveler jumps high.
c) The villager doesn’t believe the traveler because of his lies.

What is It

To help you better understand the ways in writing conclusions, you need to deepen
your knowledge and understanding by discovering what the topic is all about. The
following are the literature, and sample conclusions coming from the published
works of the experts in the field of research.

Conclusion as defined by Prieto et al (2017) are inferences, deductions, abstractions,

implications, interpretations, general statements, and/or generalizations based upon
the findings. Conclusions should be logical connected to the findings of the study.
They should not contain any numerals because numerals usually restrict a
generalization's forceful effect or impact and scope. The conclusions are always based
upon the findings of the research study. In addition, conclusions should answer the
specific question raised from the beginning of the investigations. Conclusions should
point out what was factually learned from the inquiry. However, no conclusions
should be indirect effects of the findings. On the other hand, in writing the
conclusion. It should be precise, brief, and direct but convey all the necessary
information needed from the investigations, and Conclusions should not be
repetitions of any statements anywhere in the thesis. If required, they may be
recapitulations, but they should be worded differently and express the same data as
the recapitulated statements.

5
Prieto, et al. (2017) states that the process of drawing a conclusion begins early as
you code your data. As you review and code your data, begin to form ideas about the
important phenomena they indicated as well generate propositions about them and
the relationship among them. Once the data are coded you will look over the
proposition to write your conclusions.

In drawing and verifying conclusions from qualitative data among the most useful in
the analysis are:

1. Noting patterns and theme

2. Making contrast and comparison
3. Clustering
4. Counting

Characteristics of a Conclusion:

1. The conclusion summarizes the principal feature of the study.

2. Contains insight drawn from the findings per sub-problem.
3. The conclusion should be brief/precise and directly answer the stated problem
of the study.
4. The conclusion should point out what was learned from the inquiry.
5. Conclusions should not be repetitions of any statements anywhere in the
research study.

How to Write a Conclusion

The following are needed to be considered in writing conclusions:

1. Brief. In writing the conclusion, the researcher needs to avoid giving

unnecessary and unrelated words. You should be “write concisely.”

2. Clear. Do not be ambiguous in writing the conclusion, it should be directly

connected to your stated problem.

3. Precise. The researcher should include only those based on your findings; both
should be parallel.

Steps in Writing a Conclusion for Research Paper:

1. Restate your research topic.

2. Summarize the main points.
3. State the significance or results.
4. Finalize your thoughts.

6
The following are offered to be the general criteria in judging the worthiness of the
conclusion:

1. The conclusions are based upon the findings.

2. The conclusions should answer the research gap and specific questions raised
at the beginning of the research study.
3. The conclusions are logical and valid outcomes of the study.
4. The conclusions are stated concisely and clearly and limited only to the subject
of the study.

Sample Conclusions Based on Findings

Research Problem: Qualitative Study of the Experience of COVID-19

Patients during Hospitalization

Summary of Findings

The experience of COVID-19 patients during hospitalization could be summarized

into five themes.

Firstly, attitudes toward the disease included fear, denial, and stigma during the
early stages, which gradually developed into acceptance in the later stages.
Secondly, the major source of stress included the viral nature of the disease,
quarantine measures, and concerns regarding the health of family members.
Thirdly, reactions of body and mind included disease stage-dependent emotional
responses, excessive attention to symptoms, rumination, and changes in diet,
sleep, and behavior. Fourthly, supportive factors included psychological
adjustments, medical care, and family and social support. Finally, the disease
resulted in psychological growth and patients viewed problem switch gratitude
through the cherishing of life, family, bravery, and tenacity.

Conclusion

COVID-19 patients gradually changed their attitude toward the disease and
displayed emotional responses dependent on the stage of the disease. Negative
emotions dominated during the early stages but gradually gave way to mixed
positive and negative emotions. Active guidance of psychological growth may
therefore promote physical and mental recovery in COVID-19 patients.

B. Summary of Findings:

The psychological experience of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients can be

summarized into 4 themes. First, negative emotions present in early stage
consisting of fatigue, discomfort, and helplessness was caused by high-intensity
work, fear and anxiety, and concern for patients and family members. Second,
self-coping styles included psychological and life adjustment, altruistic acts, team
support, and rational cognition. Third, we found growth under pressure, which
included increased affection and gratefulness, development of professional
responsibility, and self-reflection. Finally, we showed that positive emotions
occurred simultaneously with negative emotions.

 Lesson

2 Writing a Recommendation

Have you experienced going to a doctor because you are sick? Or open your problem
with someone else (friends, teachers, and so on). When we did these things, our main
goal is to seek advice or suggestion that will address our problem. In this section of
your research study after putting your time to gather data to answer the established
problem and inserting rigorous effort to analyze your findings and form conclusions.
This section gives a full explanation of why each recommendation is being made.
Additionally, this section discusses the areas of research that need further
examination or addresses gaps or new research needs the study found, based on the
results and findings of the study, as well as a full explanation for why each
recommendation is being made. It provides and gives information on who can benefit
from reading and applying the study findings and offers suggestions based on the
outcomes that practitioners can implement in the educational setting. the work or
educational setting. Unrelated or speculative information that is unsupported by
data is identified as such. The section ends with a discussion of “next steps” in
forwarding this line of research. Recommendations relate to the study significance
and advancing scientific knowledge sections in Chapter 1.

What’s In

Identify what is asked from each given statement by choosing your answer in the box
below. Write your answers on your notebook.

Compare and contrast Conclusion Summary of findings

Brief Feasible Getting to know the data

1. These are the logical and valid outgrowths upon the findings.
2. It serves as a brief statement of the components of the research paper.
3. One of the considerations in writing conclusion which means “concise.”
4. This is done by reading and re-reading the text. The taped recording should be
played and listened to several times. The purpose of this process is to ensure
the quality of data before analysis.
5. It is based on the idea that the themes represent the ways in which the texts
are either similar or different from each other.

12
 What’s New

Read the following statements and identify if it is an example of a finding, a

conclusion, or a recommendation. Write F for findings, C for conclusions, and R for
recommendations. Write your answers on your notebook.

1. The students should spend at least 60 minutes a day have extensive reading so
that their writing skills will enhance too.

2. The LGU should establish triage per barangay to test workers if they are positive
to COVID-19 and for everyone’s safety.

3. There was a minimal increase of COVID-19 positive from October to November

in Mariveles town proper.

4. The Aeta Magbukon is currently facing language attrition which is observable

in their younger generations. One movement was initiated by Komisyon ng Wika
and NCIP by establishing “Bahay-Wika” to teach children to speak their dialect.
However, reading materials and other modules that can develop the reading
comprehension of the Aeta children are still lacking as a sort of learning/
instructional materials.

5. Gay language is used to protect gays from chasms of heterosexuals. It is the

reason why gays construct their language through the identified word-
formation processes.

How many correct answers did you get? If you earned five and above, Great!!!
You already have an idea on the things that we will discuss today. However,
if you earned four and below, don’t worry this module will guide you with the
new topic. Just sit, relax, and enjoy.

13
 What is It

Findings. These serve as the principal outcome of the research study. These are the
result of your rigorous effort in analyzing of data gathered of the researcher either
primary (respondents) or secondary.

Conclusions. These are the logical and valid outgrowths upon the findings. These give
a contribution to the body of knowledge and fill the gap in it. The conclusion also
relates to the significance of the study and answer the research problem develop and
establish in Chapters 1 and 2 which the study binds or anchors together.

Recommendations. These are based on the finding and conclusions of the study, and
identified the limitation and weaknesses of the research, and served as practical
suggestions among similar fields. It should be highlighted and envision the
improvement of variables of the study based on the given data and findings. It is also
directly linked to your conclusions. The final part of the recommendations should
address other researchers who conducted the same or similar study. Furthermore,
the suggestion of a new topic is advice relevant to the research gap in your finished
study.

How to Write a Recommendation

The following are needed to be considered in writing recommendations:

1. Brief. In writing the recommendation, the researcher needs to avoid giving

unnecessary and unrelated suggestions. You should be “write concisely”.

2. Clear. In writing a recommendation, the researcher needs to give a clear

description of how and where the recommendation is adopted or implemented.

3. Precise. The researcher should include only those based on the conclusion. Both
conclusion and recommendation should be parallel.

Suggested Elements in Recommendation

In writing recommendation, the researchers of any discipline need to bear in their

mind that recommendations have the following elements:

1. Suggest the course of actions.

2. Prediction of possible cause and effect that may arise warranted by the result.

3. Propose a solution to a problem.

4. Judgment or speculation or the implementation and consequence of the ideas.

14
Characteristics of Recommendation

1. Logical. It should flow logically or connected from the conclusion.

2. Relevant. It must meet the purpose and the scope as stated in the introduction
section.

3. Feasible. The given consideration should be SMART: Specific, Measurable,

Achievable, Relevant, Time-Oriented (practical and workable)

Guidelines in Writing Recommendations

1. The recommendation should be brief, concise, and directly related to the topic
of the research study.

2. The recommendation should be “stem” or aligned from the result and

conclusion of your study. “Do not go beyond this.”

3. The rule of “no new material” in conclusion also applies in preparing

recommendations.

4. The recommendation must be “SMART” and logical.

5. It is also important to consider the researcher the different levels or

stakeholders of your recommendations such as policymakers, for academic
purposes, for education sectors, and practitioners.

6. Finally, the recommendation should have the aim to solve problems in the
study.

15
Sample Conclusion and Recommendations

Research Title: The oral tradition of selected barangays in the province of Bataan
through printed text (Forbes, 2020)

Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were made:

1. The barangays of the province of Bataan have existing oral traditions that were
flourished by history and culture.
2. The oral literary traditions of the barangays in the provinces of Bataan are in
the edge of extinction if not documented and be utilized in educational
instructions for the consumption of the new generation.
3. This study on the oral literary traditions of the Philippines can be used to
propose a supplementary material that corresponds to the standards of the
subject offerings on Philippine Literature brought about by the K-12 Enhanced
Basic Education Act of 2013 specifically the teaching of Philippine Literature
in English 7.

Based on the conclusion by the researcher, the following recommendations were

made:

1. The Department of Education must empower their teachers by religiously

sending them to seminars and trainings on any topics that concern literature
and oral tradition preservation.
2. To ensure that localization of subject, the Department of Education must
expose its teachers to the local community so that they could understand the
oral traditions of the locals that boost learning.
3. Preservation of oral tradition must be given an importance by Department of
Education and local government unit by funding local researchers and
documenting oral tradition into printed text and be utilized in educational
instructions for the consumption of the new generation.

16
 What’s More

A. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise. Write your
answers in your notebook.

1. Recommendation should be anchor or based on the conclusions.

2. In writing a recommendation, it should not be based on empirical data.

3. Recommendation should be limited only to three.

4. Recommendation should be practical and workable.

5. The recommendation should have the aim to solve the problem of the research
study.

B. Read the following statements and identify if it is an example of findings,

conclusion, or recommendations. Write F for findings, C for conclusions, and R
for recommendations. Write your answers on your notebook.

6. The school principal should assign school personnel that monitored and
checked the social distancing of every individual on the module distributions.

7. The contextualized mother tongue inventory should be provided to the Aeta

communities as an additional learning resource in the teaching of Magbukon
language.

8. The common word formation process used in three domains was affixation
which was used by the gay teachers, gay students, and by the parlor gays. It
was observed that the letter “O” was usually omitted and replaced by the letter
“s” or “es”, “sh”, “etch”.

9. School managers should be people-oriented and culture-focused to motivate

them to reach the peak of their performance. In this light management by
culture may be fully utilized.

10. In analyzing the most common situations/ practices where the Magbukon
words are spoken frequently, it was discovered that their cultural setting also
depicts the core values of the Department of Education – Maka-Diyos, Maka-
Tao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa.

What I Can Do

In this part of the module, you will transfer the knowledge that you gained from the
previous activity into real-life situations.
Read and analyze the following findings and conclusions then make
recommendations. Write your answers on your notebook.

Research Title: Public Perceptions and Experiences of Social Distancing and

Social Isolation during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A UK- based Focus Group Study

Summary of Findings:
Qualitative analysis revealed four main themes: (1) loss—participants’ loss of (in-
person) social interaction, loss of income and loss of structure and routine led to
psychological and emotional ‘losses’ such as loss of motivation, loss of meaning
and loss of self- worth; (2) criticisms of government communication—participants
reported a lack of trust in government and a lack of clarity in the guidelines
around social distancing and isolation; (3) adherence—participants reported high
self- adherence to social distancing guidelines but reported seeing or hearing of
non- adherence in others; (4) uncertainty around social reintegration and the
future—some participants felt they would have lingering concerns over social
contact while others were eager to return to high levels of social activity. Most
participants, and particularly those in low- paid or precarious employment,
reported feeling that the social distancing and isolation associated with COVID-
19 policy has had negative impacts on their mental health and well- being during
the early stages of the UK’s ‘lockdown.’

18
 Conclusions:
A rapid response is necessary in terms of public health programming to mitigate
the mental health impacts of COVID-19 social distancing and isolation. Social
distancing and isolation ‘exit strategies’ must account for the fact that, although
some individuals will voluntarily or habitually continue to socially distance,
others will seek high levels of social engagement as soon as possible.
