Hypothesis-testing Articles
Introduction Theoretical framework Research design Research results Interpretations Conclusions and Implications

Introduction What is the problem? What is the central research
question? Why is it important?
Hypothesis-Testing
![Page 5: Writing Your Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167e0550346895ddd4310/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Theoretical Framework How have others framed the problem? How have others answered the
question? Strengths and weaknesses of how it
has been treated How will you improve on it? What is your central proposition?
Hypothesis-Testing
![Page 6: Writing Your Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167e0550346895ddd4310/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Research design How does it flow from the previous
discussion? Define key theoretical concepts Research design description and
justification Operationalizations Hypotheses examined
Hypothesis-Testing

Research results Describe adjustments made to ideal
design Describe research context Describe results Describe qualifications
Hypothesis-Testing

Interpretations What are the implications of the
results for the original research problem and question?
How do you now answer the question?
Hypothesis-Testing

Conclusions and Implications Summarize problem, question, and
results Identify qualifications What new questions or issues are
generated? What research suggestions do you
have?

Descriptive Articles Introduction (the problem) Theoretical framework Major issues to be addressed How did you do it? Results and Interpretations Summary and Conclusions
![Page 11: Writing Your Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/568167e0550346895ddd4310/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Similar to Hypothesis-testing – except: Less focus on central proposition(s) Several issues often included Modifications to framework(s)
become prominent
Descriptive

Client-Oriented Reports Introduction (the problem as
formulated by client) (Re)Conceptualizing the problem Research approach Results and Interpretations Overall conclusions Recommendations Executive Summary

Introduction State the problem as the client sees
it (often pragmatic)Reconceptualization Justify modifications to the client’s
formulation Prepare rationale for the research
approach

Research Approach Justify Leave technical details to appendix Describe what you did

Results and Interpretations Present it from the client’s
perspective Use charts and graphs over tables Put qualifications in footnotes and
appendices Be clear (non-jargon) and short
Client-Oriented
