If you have
gone through the first two part of this “write-up”, you will be able to
understand the remaining chapters (3, 4 & 5). But if you have not, kindly
check it out and read……
Chapter three is based on
Research Method, i.e. what are the methods
used in carrying out your research. It is therefore discussed in the following
sub-sections:
Design: this
relates to the general approach adopted in carrying out your study. What is
required here is for you to specify type of the design followed in the study. (Either,
descriptive design, historical design, etc.)
Population: here, you
need to specify the aggregate of items or persons from whom data pertinent to
the study were collected. For example, all secondary school teachers in Victoria-island,
all employee in dangote group of company, etc.
Sample and sampling technique: this means
the portion of the population from which data were actually collected and
including the technique used. For example, you may intend to use 500 employee
and all employee in dangote group of company may be up to 2000, therefore, your
sample is 500. Sampling technique is the method used in choosing the 500
employee. Is it randomly or stratified.
Research Instruments: this is the
description of the instrument used in collecting your data. It should also
include how the instrument was developed and by who.
Validity of the Instruments: this describe the procedure adopted in
ensuring that the instrument you used has measured what it was designed to
measure. Is it a content or face validity etc.
Reliability of the Instruments: this means
the consistent of the instrument in measuring whatever it measures. This is
used to establish the quality of the instrument even when used repeatedly.
Data collection: all you
need to do here is to report the steps taken to collect the pertinent data. Either
by you (the researcher, field assistant, mail, etc.)
Data analysis: here, you
need to report the statistical techniques or tools employed in analyzing your
data. E.g. Multiple Regression Analysis, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), T-test statistic,
Chi square etc.
Chapter 4 – RESULTS and DISCUSSION
This chapter
embodies the results or findings of your study. This is when your research questions
and/or hypothesis you formulated in chapter one will be answered. These are
usually presented in tables, figures and charts. The calculations involved in
the analyses are not presented. You are only to summarize it in forms of table,
figures or charts. Each table or figure should have a number and title, and
they are to appear on the top of the table. But for figures, they should appear
below.
During discussion,
you are to advance possible interpretations and explanations to your findings
and try to relate these to the findings of previous works.
Chapter 5 – summary, conclusion and recommendations
Summary: you are to
provide a summary of your entire work. i.e. a brief account of the entire
report.
Conclusion: the major
findings that emerged from your study should constitute the conclusion
Recommendations: these are
suggested actions which you think other researcher could be take in improving
on the subject or topic.
