Study Notes
Statistical Treatment
- Methods include mean, median, mode, percentage, Chi-square, standard deviation, T-test, Pearson r, Spearman rank, and ANOVA I or II.
- T-test is preferred for analyzing experimental research data.
Presentation, Analysis, and Interpretation of Data
- Data should be structured for effective analysis; can be presented in tables or graphs.
- Data analysis must be conducted systematically.
- Results represent findings from the investigation, directly tied to interpreted data.
Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations
- Summary encapsulates research from Chapter I to Chapter IV, covering problems, methodology, and findings.
- Conclusions give direct statements derived from findings; should address hypotheses and research questions.
- Recommendations are drawn from conclusions, aimed at students, researchers, or the broader community.
Writing a Research Project: English Language
- Use past tense for project proposals and present tense for Results and Discussion.
- Collaborate with peers to create a research proposal, including a topic, problem, hypothesis, and methods.
