What should I write for my

discussion

• The main result of your survey

• A secondary result

• A contrasting result

• An interesting result (if there is one)

Consider these things

Respondent Don’t care Good communication Clear line

Male 8 2 0

Female 6 3 1

Table 3: Reasons

(Main result – 1st paragraph)

80 percent of male students don’t care if their teacher wears a suit.

60 percent of female students don’t care if their teacher wears a suit.

(Secondary result – 2nd paragraph)

20 percent of male students suggested casual dress was good for

communication.

30 percent of female students suggested casual dress was good for

communication.

(Contrasting result – 3rd paragraph)

10 percent of female students said suits presented a clear line.

The main result of your survey

In general, the overwhelming number of

students did not agree with KIBS’s dress code,

which requires BCP teachers to wear suits.

Eighty percent of male students and 60

percent of female students did not think it was

necessary for their BCP teacher to wear a suit

to class. The most common reason given was

that students did not care if their teacher wore

a suit or not.

Then the secondary result

Furthermore, 20 percent of male students and 30

percent of female students believed a more casual dress

code would help communication in the classroom,

because it would create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Also, it would be a change from the teacher/student

relationship they experienced in high school.

Contrasting result

In contrast, only 10 percent of the students agreed with the KIBS dress code for male teachers. The main reason given was that it created a definite line between the teacher and students.

An interesting result (if there is one)

An interesting finding was that while students did not feel it was necessary for BCP teachers to wear suits, 60 percent of female students suggested they would not feel comfortable if their BCP teacher dressed too casually in jeans and a polo shirt.

Conclusion

Restate the information in your

results

Summarize your results

According to the survey, students at KIBS do not

believe BCP teachers need to wear suits in order to

present a professional image in the classroom.

Make a recommendation

As a result, KIBS should consider changing the dress

code for male teachers. A change in the rule would create

a more relaxed atmosphere in BCP classes and make it

clear to KIBS students that the learning environment at

our school is very different from high school.

But, only make a recommendation if it is necessary

for your report.

Some of your reports do not require

recommendations.
