OF RESEARCH PAPER

Introduction

Congratulations! You have already finished 5

modules. Now you are almost at the end of the
research paper – the Summary, Conclusions and
Recommendation.
In the previous module, you have evaluated
the Results and Discussion of your research
project conducted in Grade 9 and has made the
necessary revisions.
In this module, we will evaluate your work on
the Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation of
the research project you have conducted in Grade
9 using the standard evaluating checklist and
make revisions based from the suggestions given
by the peer/ group experts.

Most Essential Learning

Competency & Objectives

In this module, you will utilize the standards (criteria/ checklist) in

evaluating research paper.

Specifically, you should be able to:

1. Utilize the standards (criteria/checklist) in evaluating the summary,
conclusions and recommendation of a research paper.
2. Revise/enhance the research project conducted by incorporating the
suggestions given by the peer/group/experts.

Duration: 5 meetings

1
 Pre-Test

Before we start, answer the following

questions with a True or False.

Directions: Read the statements carefully. Write T if the

statement is True and F if it is False and change the
underlined word to make it correct.

1. The summary gives the reader an overview of the study from

Part 1 (the Problem) to Part 2 (Review of Related Literature
and Conceptual Framework) to Part 3 (Methodology) to Part 4 (Results).
2. The findings are placed under the subheading Conclusions.
3. Conclusions and Recommendations are both based on specific findings.
4. The finding is cited together with the conclusion.
5. Conclusions answer all the research questions.
6. Conclusion should relate directly back to the problem/question stated in the
introduction.
7. The summary of the first three parts is usually narrative and is written in the past
tense.
8. The summary of findings is written in the present tense and does NOT contain
any new information.
9. Conclude with how your testing supports or disproves your hypothesis.
10. The recommendation for further research is only secondary to the
recommendation for action/ or policy formulation.

How did you find the test? Don’t worry about how far
you will get the correct answers. Just go on with the
module to learn and check if your answers are
correct.

 Learning Activities

E licit/ Engage
Let’s start our lesson with a game entitled fact or bluff.
Read the statements below and find out whether it is a fact or
a bluff. Write the word “fact” if the statement is correct and
“bluff” if the statement is wrong.

Fact or bluff

1. The summary of findings is the basis for the conclusion.

2. The summary does not contain any new information.

3. Your conclusion will show whether or not your experiment

“worked”

4. Conclusions are written in the present tense.

5. Recommendations are based on specific findings.

How did you find the game? Did you find it easy?
Or a bit confusing? Don’t worry if you are not 100% sure
of your answer, you will recall the concepts as we go
along.
Summary, Conclusions and Recommendation are
altogether in Part 5 of the research paper.
Take a look at the diagram below. What can you
say about it?

activity.

E xplore

In this activity you will evaluate you research paper

using the standards and make revisions by incorporating
the suggestions given by the peer/group/experts on the
summary, conclusion and recommendation.
Below is a checklist that will serve as your guide in
evaluating your research paper.

Activity 1: Let’s Evaluate!

Procedure:
1. Write the summary, conclusion and recommendation of your Grade 9 research
study. (Use an answer sheet)
2. Use the checklist below in evaluating the summary, conclusion and
recommendation of your G9 research study.

sample studied.
9. Conclusions are written in the
present tense.
Recommendation
10. Recommendations are based on
specific findings.

findings.

Great Job!
Now, Let us continue working on your
research paper but this time on-- revisions by
incorporating the suggestions given by the experts.

 Activity 2: Revise Me!
 Revise the Summary of your research paper incorporating the suggestions
given.

 Revise the Conclusion of your research paper incorporating the suggestions

given.
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

 Revise the Recommendation of your research paper incorporating the

suggestions given.

E xplain
Take time to understand the following ideas or concepts
about Summary, Conclusions and Recommendation.

The Summary section gives the reader an overview of the

study from Part 1 (the Problem) to Part 2 (Review of Related
Literature and Conceptual Framework) to Part 3 (Methodology) to
Part 4 (Results).
1. The summary of the first three parts is usually narrative. But the summary
of the findings is presented differently. The findings are listed consecutively
and numbered for easy reference in the discussion of the conclusion and
recommendations, which are both based on specific findings. The findings
are placed under the subheading Summary of findings.
2. The summary of the first three parts is written in the past tense while the
summary of the findings is written in the present tense.
3. The summary does not contain any new information.
The conclusion section describes how to draw generalizations from the findings. The
guidelines below are suggested for this purpose.
a) Conclusions are based on specific findings: meaning the finding is cited
together with the conclusion.
b) Conclusion answer all the research questions.
c) Any generalization which is not supported by sufficient data is not
acceptable.
d) Conclusions apply only to the population represented by the sample
studied.
e) Conclusions are written in the present tense.

Your conclusion will show whether or not your experiment “worked’. This will
demonstrate your skills to relate the facts you have researched with the findings of
your investigation.
In your concluding statement, you can also infer the possible benefits of your
results to society. Likewise, you can state any plans you may have to continue
working on other aspects related to the study. Your future investigations may well
have some direct application for humanity. Perhaps you will find a cure for AIDS, or
discover an alternative source of energy.
Recommendation contains the implications of the research findings. Following
are suggestions for writing recommendations.
1. Recommendations are based on specific findings if a directly relevant
finding cannot be cited the recommendation is not acceptable.
2. Two implications of research are:
a. Implications for action (i.e., in the light of a particular finding, what
should be done) and policies that might be formulated.
b. Implications for further research (i.e., what improvements can be
done on the present study: how the present study may be
expanded; etc.

Elaborate/ Extend
Now, that you enlighten with the ideas/ concept about summary,
conclusion and recommendation, try doing the activity below.

Instruction:
I. Give two (2) important points to consider in:
A. Formulating the Summary of findings
1. _________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________
B. Drawing Conclusion
1. _________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________
C. Making Recommendation
1. ___________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________
II: Answer this!!
Why should summary of findings, conclusion and recommendation be
consistent with each other?

Great job!! You have gone this far. You were guided
by the standards in the evaluation of the last part of your
study, the summary, conclusion and recommendation.

 Vocabulary List

Conclusion – is a statement where you will present the solution to the proposed
problem based on the findings of the investigation
- it describes the degree to which the data support or do not
support the hypothesis

Findings - the results of an investigation (Merriam Webster)

Recommendation – a suggestion of what should be done (Merriam Webster)

Summary – a brief statement that gives the most important information about
something (Merriam Webster)
