  Opening overview In this opening section, you should tell the reader what they can expect to find in the chapter (content), and in what order (layout/structure). This section serves to help the reader orient themselves and understand what to expect from the chapter.   You can use the headings in this template (see the table of contents above) as a guide for this section. For example: “This chapter will begin by providing a summary of the findings, as well as the limitations of the study, followed by recommendations for further research…” This section should be no more than one concise and cohesive paragraph. Keep it short.   Summary of Findings Next, you’ll summarize your key findings, as presented (in detail) in the discussion chapter. Ideally, you should start by reminding the reader of the overarching research aims and research questions that you sought to answer in your study. Then, explain what your findings were in relation to these research...

Opening/Intro Section In the first section of your discussion chapter, you should remind the reader of the golden thread underpinning ( research aims, objectives and questions ) your dissertation or thesis.   In this section, you’ll should aim to write a concise paragraph that includes the following: ●        A sentence repeating your specific research problem ●        A sentence or two repeating your research aims, objectives, and questions ●        If you have hypotheses, you can also briefly mention these. ●        A sentence or two reminding the reader of the methodology you used in your study ●        A sentence indicating the purpose of this chapter ●        A sentence outlining the layout of the chapter Keep in mind that this is purely an opening section, so don’t get too deta...

  Research philosophy Research philosophy refers to the set of beliefs, assumptions, and principles that will guide your approach to conducting your research. There are several research philosophies to choose from, including positivism , interpretivism and pragmatism :   Positivism emphasises the use of scientific methods and seeks to uncover universal laws and generalisable knowledge. It assumes an objective reality that can be studied through empirical observation and measurement. Positivists aim for objectivity, reliability, and replicability in their research.   Interpretivism , on the other end of the spectrum, focuses on understanding and interpreting human behaviour and social phenomena through the lens of subjective meanings and social contexts. It recognises the importance of individual experiences, values, and interpretations. Interpretivists often use qualitative methods, such as interviews, observations, and textua...

  Introduction This section needs to introduce the chapter to your reader and help orient them in terms of what to expect. This is usually quite short, consisting of a few paragraphs.   Depending on the nature of your project, you’ll typically cover some (or all) of the following in this section:   ●        A quick reminder of your topic and research aims ●        A brief explanation of the purpose of the literature review chapter ●        An outline of the scope of your literature review (what you will and won’t cover) ●        A brief overview outlining the layout of the chapter   Keep your introduction section concise. There’s no need to go into detail here – save your word count for the body section, as this is where you’ll earn marks.   Next, you’ll move into the body section of ...

  Opening Section As the very first section of your introduction chapter, this section needs to provide a high-level overview of your dissertation or thesis. Typically, you’ll include the following: ●        A sentence or two introducing the overall field of your research ●        A sentence introducing your specific research problem ●        A sentence stating your research aims and objectives ●        A sentence outlining the layout of the chapter Importantly, this section needs to be concise (it’s just an opener), so don’t ramble on here. Keep it short and sweet.   Background After you’ve covered the basics in the opening section, the next section should provide a broad overview of the topic area that you’ll be researching, as well as the current contextual factors . In other words, in this section, you need to provide the relevant ...
