This section is also obliged to explain the relationship between variables, relevant research results, and supporting data (if any). This section is closed with the aim of research or a statement of the research problem.
- Methods
The research method is a strategy used by researchers to answer research problems. Research design, research objectives, population and sample, types of data, techniques used to obtain data, empirical models and analytical tools must be written in this section.

Discussion of results contains an explanation of the research implications regarding the relevance of the analysis, theory, previous research, and contributions to a science. Researchers are advised to consider the opinions expressed by Feldman (2004) to facilitate the process of writing the discussion section as follows: ” What do we know now we didn’t know before hand ?,Why might the results have come out the way they did ?, How do the results inform our theoretical understanding of a phenomenon or our methodological approach to studying some topic?”
