Chapter 5 is where your research comes full circle. In this culminating course, doctoral students learn how to interpret their findings, connect results back to the literature and theoretical framework, and clearly articulate the practical and scholarly implications of their study.
This course guides students through the critical transition from reporting results (Chapter 4) to interpreting meaning and impact. Emphasis is placed on coherence, alignment, and scholarly insight—ensuring that conclusions are supported by data and grounded in existing research.
Key areas of focus include:
Summarizing key findings aligned to research questions
Interpreting results within the theoretical or conceptual framework
Connecting findings back to the literature review
Discussing implications for practice, policy, and leadership
Identifying recommendations for future research
Addressing study limitations appropriately
Writing conclusions with clarity and authority
Ensuring logical flow and alignment across all five chapters
Participants will learn how to avoid common pitfalls such as overstating conclusions, introducing new data, or drifting from the original research questions. Structured templates and models are provided to help students write with confidence and precision.
By the end of the course, students will have a structured draft of Chapter 5 and a clear understanding of how to present their study as a meaningful contribution to the field.
Ideal for:
Doctoral students nearing dissertation completion who want to ensure their findings are clearly interpreted, professionally written, and positioned to demonstrate scholarly and practical impact.
