of the study

should be answerable by the quantitative or
qualitative data to be collected
• Indicate why the study is significant
 Literature review
• Begin with an introductory paragraph outlining
the scope of the literature review and then use
sub-headers to divide individuals sections
• Identify and discuss each concept or issue
relevant to the study, giving frequent citations to
other studies. At least half of the references
should be within the previous five years
• Make sure it is clear why and how the concept or
issue is relevant to study or problem
 Methodology

that a reader could reproduce it. At this point, describe the p
participants briefly and in general terms (for example, second
year English majors taking an advanced conversation class)

clarify descriptive or inferential statistics
• Qualitative findings, including quotes to illustrate
themes
Note:- either in 2 and 3 above or in a separate sub-

should be specifically answered based on the data
collected. Depending on the details of your data,
this answering of research questions may also be
shifted into your discussion.
 Discussion

• Explain the meaning, implications, and the value of the finding
– After discussing each major finding, provide conclusions and/or
recommendations based on your findings and discussion

• Either in the discussion or in the conclusion, you have the
option of listing suggestions for additional research based on
your research design and findings
• The focus of the discussion is the insights of the researcher.
Do not make the mistake of simply repeating facts. Attempt
to explain “Why”
