What I understand so far is that the summary summarizes the work as well as the presentation of the research gap, and provides a perception of the sample, tools, and results.
The conclusion provides a perception of the problem, the contribution of the current study to closing the research gap, and then highlighting the results and limits. Then in a separate address, recommendations are displayed for future research, sometimes also borders in a separate address. which determines this university guide.
Can someone best explain what they should (and shouldn't) include in the abstract? Similarly in conclusion.
Many thanks.
Maha - the abstract should contain summary information of the following - whether headings are used or not:
Aims/objectives
Topic background
Methodology/methods
Findings/results
Conclusion
Recommendations for practice
Cheers on completing your coursework.
First, this depends on your area of focus. Scientific research would necessitate different conventions that, let's say, someone studying interpretive dance.
