    Study Notes

    Patterns, Codes, and Themes

    • A pattern refers to a set of data that follows a recognizable form, which analysts attempt to find in the current data.
    • A code is a short word or phrase describing the meaning and context of the whole sentence, phrase, or paragraph.
    • Themes refer to topics or ideas/features of participants' accounts characterizing particular perceptions and/or experiences that the researcher sees as relevant to the research question.

    Summary of Findings

    • The principal outcomes of a research project; what the project suggested, revealed, or indicated.
    • Refers to the totality of outcomes, rather than the conclusions or recommendations drawn from them.

    Conclusion

    • Inferences, deductions, abstractions, implications, interpretations, general statements, and/or generalizations based upon the findings.
    • Should be logical and connected to the findings of the study.
    • Should not contain any numerals.
    • Characteristics of a conclusion:
      • Summarizes the principal feature of the study.
      • Contains insights drawn from the findings per subproblem.

    Recommendations

    • A suggestion that improves the study for future research to be conducted in the field.
    • Characteristics of recommendation:
      • Logical: flows logically or connected from the conclusion.
      • Relevant: meets the purpose and scope as stated in the introduction section.
      • Feasible: should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Oriented).

    Dos and Don'ts in Writing Conclusions and Recommendations

    • Conclusions:
      • Include a complete summary of findings.
      • Highlight key points based on the analysis or results of the study.
      • Note important suggestions.
      • Share what you learned from the study.
      • Use clear and simple language.
      • Avoid adding new information.
    • Recommendations:
      • Be logical by addressing the conclusion sensibly.
      • Revisit your introduction (purpose of the study and the scope).
      • Keep in mind that recommendations are written to improve the study.

    Listing References

    • A list of sources that have been referred to within the research which includes direct quotations.
    • Guidelines in listing references in Chicago Manual of style:
      • References by the same author should be arranged chronologically with the earliest work first.
      • A one-author work should be placed before a multiauthor work that begins with the same author.
      • References by the same author or multiple authors (in the same order) should be alphabetized by title.
      • Works with no authors should be alphabetized by title, with the title in the author position.
      • Use Anonymous as an author only if the work is signed anonymously.
      • Alphabetize a group or organization name as author by the first significant word.
