6. Chapter 2: LR Chapter 3: Methodology
Discuss & Define the main concept or variable in your study
Must relate directly with your research questions
Provide support for hypotheses (if necessary)
Chapter 3: Methodology
Explain about:
Research Design
Sampling design

7. Chapter 4: Findings
Report the facts that you discovered according to research objectives.
Normally starts with profiling report (demographics)
Use tables, graph (descriptive methods)
Then, report the findings in accordance with the ROs
Chart, Table, Statistical Result/output
Narrative report (interview/observation)

Table 1 illustrates that nearly one-half (44.6 percent) of the respondents are between 20 and 39 years of age. The biggest category is the 40 to 49 age bracket (43.5 percent) with the remaining 12.0 percent being over 50 years old.

9. Example: How to report (Descriptive)
Table 2 reveals that over one-half (53.3 percent) of the respondents have school certificates. The remainder have a diploma (16.3 percent) or university degree (30.4 percent) respectively

12. Ex: How to report- Hypothesis Testing (t-test)
The result shown that the two groups of respondents (staff and students) are significantly different (t=5.232, df =84.42, p = ) with respect to Service Quality. The mean difference between staff and students was 1.05

13. Ex: How to report - Regression
Using the enter method, a significant model emerged: F (4,101) = , p < The model explain 94.7% of the variance. Responsiveness and professionalism were not a significant predictor, but speed and availability were
