3. Method: The basic design of the study. What
did you actually do to get your findings/
results?
4. Results/Findings: Major findings found as a
result of your analysis. What did you learn/
invent/create?
5. Conclusion/Implications: What is your
concluding remark? What are the larger
implications of your findings, especially for
the problem/gap identified in the research?
