ABSTRACT
This chapter provides suggestions for concluding the study. It describes the discussion of findings reviews and expands on what has been learned as a direct result of the study. Conclusions are inferences based on the results of the study and must be clearly linked to findings. The task of researchers is to add to knowledge by analyzing data, explaining the results within relevant context, and making inferences and appropriate recommendations that link directly to findings. Findings for each research question should be summarized separately. Recommendations may include suggestions for change in policy or practice based on the findings of the study, and may include recommendations for further study. Some insights from the study may indirectly imply the need for change; however, discussion of such insights should be within the context of the need for further study rather than for change in policy or practice.
