How to write review of the hypothesis?


Review of the Hypothesis 

The review of the hypotheses section in chapter five is also an easy task. All that is needed is a restatement of the hypotheses that was presented in chapter three. Simply realist your hypotheses here. Begin with an introductory phrase like this “The null-hypotheses posed for testing in the study are listed below.” 

Review of the Methods 

The review of the methods section of the fifth chapter should be two to three pages in length. In essence, this two to three-page section is a summary of the methods chapter of the project. You might begin by completing the following sentence: “The subjects used in the study…..” 

Make sure that you cover the following points: 
  • How many subjects were used; 
  • How were they divided into groups; 
  • With what and by whom was the subject tested; and 
  • What were the levels of the independent variables? (Stated another way, what did the experimental subjects participate in that the controls did not?) 

Summary of the Hypothesis 

The summary of the hypotheses section of the fifth chapter should present an analysis of the null hypotheses of the study. For each hypothesis you should:
  1. Summarize the hypothesis; 
  2. Present the data relative to the hypothesis (a brief summary of the relevant information taken from chapter four); 
  3. Draw a conclusion about the hypothesis (was it rejected or not?); and 
  4. Present a one to two sentence statement of your conclusions. 
Typically, the summary of each hypothesis is 1/ 2 to one page in length.

How to evaluate the project?

Evaluating the Project  The project should be evaluated at two levels. The first of these levels is the text and the logic of the presentation. The second level of evaluation should focus on the student’s mastery of the material. There are certain minimum requirements that the project or thesis must meet before it should be considered for acceptance. These minimal requirements deal with the manner of presentation of the project problem, its parameters, and analysis. To facilitate the examination of a project, I’ve provided a comprehensive checklist and inventory of the minimal requirements. For example: Is the topic area of the study clearly specified early in the text (within the first two pages)?  Is the topic area of the project derived from or cast into its historical perspective?  Are the major independent and dependent variables logically derived and their importance clearly evident?  Is the specific problem that the...

What is the research methodology?

Methodology  The research Methodology section, while not the easiest to formulate, is probably the easiest to write. The methodology must be described in total, complete, absolute detail so that another researcher could replicate the study exactly based on the information contained in this chapter.  This chapter should begin with a description of the General Nature and Design of the Study. The type of research should be identified, e.g., experimental, quasi-experimental, exploratory, qualitative, developmental, survey, etc. If the type of research calls for the use of independent and dependent variables, they should be identified The Selection of Participants should describe exactly how subjects were obtained and assigned to groups (if the design calls for groups). The Procedures are reported. Copies of any written materials or any verbal instructions gave the subjects should be included in the Appendixes. If the Research Setting is significant, it is also repor...

Analysis part of the thesis

The purpose of this is to present the results of the analysis of the data. The presentation should be in sufficient detail to enable the reader to judge the adequacy of the analysis.  If you examine the data analysis section of the project, you will find that two characteristic styles are used in the presentation. The first style, which I will refer to as the “hypothesis analysis” style, typically divides the chapter into sections which correspond to the hypotheses. In this manner of presentation, the hypothesis is presented, followed by the summary of the statistics relative to the hypothesis, and concluded with a statement which summarizes whether or not the hypothesis was rejected. In the second style of presentation, which I will refer to as the “analysis by instruments” style, the data are presented in various sections which correspond to the dependent variables (research instruments) used in the design.  With this style of presentation, the data are summ...
