My name is Antony P from the University English Hub and here are my super clear steps to writing your Discussion section, with examples! Keep watching until the end of the video to learn what NOT to put in your Discussion section. The discussion section is your chance to explore the importance and relevance of your results. The key focuses of a Discussions section include a summary of your key results, an interpretation of what the results can mean, an investigation into potential implications of the results, like why they matter, an exploration of the limitations of the results, and finally, your Discussions section includes recommendations for future research. Step 1: State your key findings In about one paragraph, restate your research problem and summarize core findings in a clear statement that answers your research question. Step 2: Give your interpretations of your findings Write about how your findings exactly answer your research question. This may be obvious to you, but may not be obvious to an international audience. You can identify correlations, and patterns in the data. You can discuss if the results supported your hypothesis or not. Then, compare and contrast your findings to the other research on your topic. Consider explaining how your results fit into the larger web of research. Then, discuss any unexpected results and write about where you believe these unexpected results might have come from. Step 3: Discuss the implications of your research How do your findings fit within existing knowledge and what new insights do your findings contribute? Are there any consequences to an industry or profession because of your research? If your findings challenge existing theories, explain why! Step 4: Acknowledge the limitations of your research Even the most robust studies have holes, or room for improvement. Common research limitations include small sample sizes, short observation lengths, and confounding variables. Write about the weaknesses in your research design so that other researchers can make improvements on your design. Step 5: Share your recommendations Your findings may impact a profession or an industry and this is your chance to dive into these potentialities. Perhaps your findings found an efficiency gain that an engineering company should consider, or perhaps your findings found a major flaw in past research that will encourage further studies. What NOT to put in your Discussion section Don’t introduce new results: You should only discuss the data that is reported in the results section. Don’t make wild claims: Be realistic about what your data shows. Don’t undermine your research: The discussion of limitations should aim to strengthen your credibility. Now you’re ready to write your discussion section! Good luck! If you have any questions leave them below. I will read them and reply. Thanks for watching.
