respondents, period of the study, method of research
used, research instrument and sampling design.

accumulated. This is the place to share with
readers the conclusions you have reached because
of your research.”

RECOMMENDATION

Research often exposes further problems and


introduces more questions. As a student, there is a
time limit to your research project, so it is unlikely
that your work would have solved all the problems
associated with the area of study
Characteristics of The
Recommendations

• based upon the findings and conclusions.


• feasible, practical, and attainable.
• action-oriented (recommend action to remedy
or unfavorable condition discovered)
• limited only to the subject of the study
but recommend further research on the same
subject.
LIMITATIO
N
In the case of an empirical research it is important to
identify the various limitations which were
encountered during the sampling, lab work, data
collection and analysis stages of the research or
project. However, the limitation should end on a
positive note to show how they worked together to
provide focus and strengthen the empirical results.
IMPLICATION
S

An author should also focus in the future


implications of the study. How the work can be
beneficial for upcoming researchers.
