REPORT WRITING
Elements of Report
Writing
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should:
Briefly describe the context and background to the research
describe the change, problem or issue to be reported on
define the specific objectives and purpose of the report
indicate the overall answer to the problem explored in the report
 outline the report's scope (the extent of the investigation, also
known as its terms of reference or brief)
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This should help to put your research into a background context and
to explain its importance. Include only the books and articles which
relate directly to your topic. You need to be analytical and critical,
and not just describe the works that you have read.
METHODOLOGY
Methodology deals with the methods and principles used in an
activity, in this case research. In the methodology chapter, explain the
method/s you used for the research and why you thought they were
the appropriate ones.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Make your recommendations, if required. The suggestions for action
and further research should be given.
CONCLUSION
Summarize briefly the main conclusions which you discussed under
“Results.”
The conclusion allows you to have the final say on the issues you
have raised in your project, to synthesize your thoughts, to
demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and to propel your reader
to a new view of the subject. It is also your opportunity to make a
good final impression and to end on a positive note.
APPENDIX
If you have used questionnaires, it is usual to include a blank copy in
the appendix. You could include data or calculations, not given in the
body, that are necessary, or useful, to get the full benefit from your
report. There may be maps, drawings, photographs or plans that you
want to include. If you have used special equipment, you may include
information about it.
REFERENCES
List all the sources which you referred in the body of the report. You
may use the pattern prescribed by American Psychological
Association, or any other standard pattern recognized internationally.
