Quantitative Research Guide

Conclusions

Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. The respondents in both the Non-Math Talk and Math Talk groups had almost the same level of base knowledge on the topic of Number and Number Sense.
2. The findings revealed that students who underwent the Math Talk treatment achieved higher scores compared to those taught using conventional methods.
3. A comparison of the pretest and posttest results for each group implies that both groups learned, regardless of whether they used Math Talk or the conventional teaching method.
4. The researcher concluded that students learned more effectively using Math Talk as an Inquiry-Based Strategy in teaching mathematics. This strategy allowed students to clarify their understanding through interaction, creating a learning environment that was more engaging than traditional classrooms. Students involved in Math Talk exhibited better retention and improved mathematics performance.

Recommendations

Given the effectiveness of Math Talk as an Inquiry-Based Strategy in teaching mathematics, the following recommendations are presented:

1. Teachers should incorporate Math Talk into their classrooms to maintain quality education and help students build a relational understanding of mathematics.
2. School administrators should encourage and support the implementation of Math Talk as an inquiry-based strategy in teaching mathematics to enhance public education.

Writing a Clear Research Report

A well-structured research paper follows these components:

1. Introduction – Presents the thesis and background.
2. Body – Develops the thesis with supporting evidence.
3. Conclusion – Revisits the thesis and provides insights or recommendations.

After learning the research process, you are now ready to write your research paper, ensuring it includes all the necessary parts.
