    Study Notes

    Presentation of Data

    • Presentation is a way of arranging data into logical, chronological, and significant categories and classifications.
    • There are three ways of presenting data: Textual, Tabular, and Graphical.
    • Textual presentation involves using statements with numbers to describe a given data.
    • It aims to highlight some important data and supplement the tabular or graphical presentation.

    Interpretation of Data

    • Interpretation or inference follows the textual presentation of each table in the research.
    • It must have at least three of the following elements:
      • Condition: findings discovered in the research.
      • Possible cause of the condition: reason for the existence of the condition discovered.
      • Possible effect of the condition: result of the existence of the condition discovered.
      • Comparisons of findings with those of previous studies.

    Thematic Analysis

    • Theme clustering is done by analyzing, outlining, and grouping significant statements into themes or meaningful units.
    • The first group of theme clusters is formulated to answer the central questions of the study (the SOP).
    • Example of theme clustering:
      • Theme 1: Early Realistic Approach (Support their families, Financial reasons)
      • Theme 2: Experiences (Exhausting, Helpful)
      • Theme 3: Time Management (Balanced, Hectic)

    Writing the Results

    • The sequence of the content is the same as that of the Statement of the Problem.
    • Normally, this chapter features the following contents in chronological order: Statistical tables and graphs, Textual presentation, and Inferences or interpretation.

    Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations

    • This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions, and the future directions of the study to further enhance the concepts and the facts discussed in the preceding chapter.
    • The summary should provide an overview of the study's focus and findings.
    • Example: The study focused on young street vendors' experiences on selling their goods in the street daily.
