OUTLINE FOR CHAPTER FOUR: RESULTS

Chapter Four is where the focused findings culled from this project are articulated. They are generally presented by research question.

Theoretical Study
New understandings and insights are developed and explained. An integration of the results into a comprehensive statement that expands upon the original topic and addresses all research questions is presented. Assertions of the findings from the results presented in response to research questions are detailed.

Qualitative Study
Findings or results without discussion are reported. Only the amount of explanation necessary to help the reader understand the basis of the research is included. The interpretation of the research and speculation of the meaning is reserved for Chapter Five. The report of the results or findings must be complete enough for the reader to make an independent judgment about the research.

In your introduction articulate the focus of the results based on your analysis. First a description of the subjects is provided and relevant setting. In most cases results are presented by research question. If they are presented in any other matter, a discussion is needed for how the results are presented in response to the research questions. Next describe how the review will be organized.

Subjects

Describe the subjects or treatment of the data. This discussion provides the context from which the results were drawn so we know who is represented in the data.

Results Research Question One

Provide context for the discussion. Research Question One asked: and state the question? Remind us of the aim and scope capture the range of possibilities in response to the question using the literature from Chapter Two. From the context provided identify the themes which emerged from the analysis of the data. List the themes here and present in that order.

Theme One

In what ways did the first theme emerge from the data analysis? Maybe there are two or three ways the theme was revealed.

Describe the first occurrence. How many times does the occurrence show up? Or how many individuals indicated the area of focus was important? Regarding xxx, 7 of the 10 subjects highlighted the importance of xxx.
Provide the supporting evidence, quotes, observations, or artifacts. You would need at a minimum of two quotes for each point you make.

Describe the second occurrence.
Provide the supporting evidence, quotes, observations, or artifacts.

Theme Two

In what ways did the first theme emerge from the data analysis? Maybe there are two or three ways the theme was revealed.

Describe the first occurrence. How many times does the occurrence show up? Or how many individuals indicated the area of focus was important? Regarding xxx, 7 of the 10 subjects highlighted the importance of xxx.
Provide the supporting evidence, quotes, observations, or artifacts. You would need at a minimum of two quotes for each point you make.

Describe the second occurrence.
Provide the supporting evidence, quotes, observations, or artifacts.

Research Question One Summary
Articulate how the evidence supports or leads to a particular finding. You will discussion the finding in Chapter Five. Give the evidence direction or meaning.
