Method of Reporting 
Three broad sets of information of a 
normally degree-oriented research 
reports: 
• Prelims/ Preliminary Information 
• Main body of the research report, and 
• The reference materials
Fundamental Facts 
a) Title Page 
b) Supervisor’s Certificate 
c) Acknowledgements 
d) Table of Contents 
e) List of Tables (if any) and, 
f) List of Figures (if any).
Submitting Report 
The conventional style of report writing 
includes the following: 
a) Introduction 
b) Review of the related studies 
c) Methodology used 
d) Analysis of the data and results 
e) Summary and conclusions.
Introduction 
The main purpose of this chapter is to 
introduce the focal theme of the 
research to a reader. 
It is important to establish the need 
and importance of the study in this 
chapter.
Review of Related Studies 
The review work does the following: 
• helps a researcher in identification of 
research problem; 
• helps in developing a chapter 
portraying how an area covering 
different variables and phenomena 
has grown apart from identification of 
gaps; 
• helps a researcher in verifying the 
findings of results of his/her research.
Methodology Used 
Things discussed under methodology: 
1. Population and the Sample 
2. Tools and Techniques Used, and 
3. Treatment of the Data.
Analysis and Discussion of Data 
Actual treatment of the data leading to 
analysis has to be developed 
preferably in tune with the hypotheses. 
This will facilitate the testing of 
different hypotheses. The obtained 
results will have to be analysed for 
their meaning. This meaning has to be 
discussed.
Summary and Conclusions 
Summary indicates that all that has 
been done from statement of the 
problem to the discussion. 
The major findings of the study are 
listed as conclusions.
The Sources 
a) References 
b) Appendices including: 
i. Tools Used 
ii. Basic Data
References 
References provide addresses of 
different sources of information, which 
has been used in the research, which 
is arranged in alphabetical order. 
It is recommended that the American 
Psychological Association (APA) 
pattern should be followed as it is 
accepted universally.
Example: 
Sandon, F. (1960). 
“Attendance through the 
School Year”, Educ. Res., 3, 
153-6
Appendices 
• Appendices include all those materials 
which are used by the researcher as 
related to his/her research but they 
are to be referred by readers if they 
are keen about those materials. In this 
category, the materials include, 
different tools used and the basic 
data/raw data of the researcher.
