What are the suggestion for further research?


Suggestions for further research 

The suggestions for further research section is the concluding portion of chapter five. Generally, this section is one to two pages in length. The purpose of this section is to present suggested research topics for the reader. However, you have some restrictions placed on your suggestions, since you cannot present a  topic for further research that you knew about before you began your study. Also, you cannot suggest a topic for the reader. However, you have some restrictions placed on your suggestions, since you cannot present a topic for further research that you knew about before you began your study. Also, you cannot suggest a topic for further research that is not directly related to your present study. Finally, you cannot suggest a topic for further research that was not directly derived from your present study.

Stated another way, you should present your ah-ha experiences. Your task is to convince the reader that you are in insightful research and that you have thoroughly examined your data and methodology for “other” research implications for the further and future research. 

Your suggestions for further and future research should be restricted to three or four pages. Each suggestion is presented in a separate paragraph which should include the topic and suggested methodology.

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...
