to Formulate
Recommendations
 Learning Objective

 To identify and describe the

steps on how to formulate
recommendations
Key Understanding
• Knowledge of different steps and
strategies on how to formulate
recommendations

Key Question
 How do we formulate recommendations?
 Recommendations
 In this section, you finally have the
opportunity to present and discuss the actions
that future researchers should take as a result
of your Project.
 Ideally you should be able to make a formal
recommendation regarding the alternative
that is best supported by the study.
 Present and discuss the kinds of additional
research suggested by your Project. If the
preferred alternative is implemented, what
additional research might be needed.
 Recommendations
Recommendations should be:

 Logical – should flow logically from the

conclusions

 Relevant – must meet the purpose and the

scope as stated in the Introduction section

 Feasible – must be practical and workable

 Characteristics of
Recommendations
 Recommendation should seek to solve or
help to solve problems discovered in the
investigation.
 It should be attainable, practical, flexible,
and feasible.
 It should be addressed to person,
entities or agencies, or offices who or
which are ready to implement them.
 Characteristics of
Recommendations
 It can be also a recommendation for the
continuance of a system or
recommendation for improvement.
 It can have recommendation for further
research on the same topic but different
places to verify the findings of the study.
 Characteristics of
Recommendations
 There should be no recommendation for
the problem or the things not yet
discovered or discussed.
 They should be based on the findings
and conclusion of the study.
 It should be valid and rational.
 Characteristics of
Recommendations
 Recommendations may be specific or
general or both. They may include
suggestions for further studies.

 They should be in non-technical

language.
 Steps in Writing Recommendations

• It should have the aim and effort

to solve problems in the study.

• It should ensure a continuous

benefit being accorded to the
universe-mankind involved.

• Remember that in writing your

recommendations, you must show
how your results support them.
 Steps in Writing Recommendations

• Specifically stating what should be

done, the steps required to implement
the policy, and the resources needed;
discussion of the benefits to the
organization and what problems would
be corrected or avoided;

• There should be a discussion of the

feasibility of the proposed policy;
 Steps in Writing Recommendations

• Ideally you should be able to make a

formal recommendation regarding the
alternative that is best supported by
the study.

• Present and discuss the kinds of

additional research suggested by
your Project. If the preferred
alternative is implemented, what
further research might be needed?
 Steps in Writing Recommendations

• Write a general statement about the

nature and timing of an evaluation
plan that would be used to
determine the effectiveness of the
proposed policy
 Sample Recommendations

In view of the findings of the study, the researcher

recommends the following:
• Conduct the survey with a larger number of
respondents. Obtain a list of companies within Metro
Manila and categorize these into the two types of
industries to have uniform sample sizes.
• For a better understanding of the phenomenon,
pursue a qualitative research study exploring the
views of HR Practitioners on hiring persons with
disability/ autism in the workplace, as well as their
personal experiences toward disability employment.
