can you fix my script?

Intro
hello my dear researchers you're
watching this video for
any or both of the reasons that you are
in my research class or you're simply
curious about what is the imrad format
so in this video we will attempt to
answer the questions that might be in
your head
what is an imran format are the abstract
and introduction the same thing
and do i need to be a really good writer
to be able to make an infrared report
What is IMRaD
imrad stands for introduction methods
research and discussion in our sharing
today i'll be using
these works for my class as our examples
so basically the imrad format or the
amred style of reporting
is usually associated with stem or
sciences
but due to the challenges of of the
current
setup it is recommended that we will be
using the inbred format of reporting
because the imrad is a very brief
style of reporting your research so if
you recall in your past research classes
you might associate research with
hundreds of pages or even 50 plus pages
to report about your study but for
but for the imran format it will take
only a few pages
even 10 to 15 pages would be enough
because the imran format is going to be
very brief
concise and you only have to report
what is basic in your study
so let's begin with the i or
introduction in any form of writing
whether it's research
or a feature article an essay a letter
or even when you introduce yourself to
somebody
an introduction gives us an overview of
what's going to come
so in in the imran style of reporting
the introduction gives us the research
questions
that the the research work attempted to
answer
so this is where you'll be writing your
sops so
give us an idea an overview of your
study
and then present what research questions
your study aim to answer
present the specific questions and
this is where you also cite your
hypothesis so for example
in this study on the effects of
indoor activities to the student's
health
so this research aims to ask what are
the activities what are the indoor
activities that the students
involved themselves in during this time
of pandemic
second what are the perceived effects
of these indoor activities to the health
of these students
and third is there a significant
relationship between
the engagement in these indoor
activities
and the perceived effects of these
interactivities to their health
so this researcher in his introduction
or in her introduction is going to tell
us
what's the study about
what what's the significance of studying
the effects of interactivities to the
health of a student
and then specifically this these were
the questions
that she aimed to answer in the study
and what's the hypothesis the null
hypothesis is
there is no significant relationship
between the time spent
on indoor activities and the perceived
effects
of these interactivities to the health
of a student
so basically that's it that's how the
introduction will look like
what's what's the study about and what
are the questions that you try to answer
in your study
in fact you may also explain what's the
significance so what what
what's the importance of being able to
know um
the effects of indoor activities to the
health of a student
that's it and it will not even take so
many pages
a few paragraphs will do because imrad
format
aims to give a brief style of reporting
research results let's now proceed to
Methods
the m or the methods part of your
research
so since in the introduction they've
already presented the research questions
that your
study aimed to answer this is the part
where you will tell your readers
how are you able to attain the data to
be able to answer
those research questions so of course we
know
that in this challenging time it may not
be safe for us to be going around and
handing out questionnaires to our
respondents so
we opted or many of you opted to use um
messenger or google forms to be able to
get this data
so you also indicate that in your
methods part tell your readers that you
gathered your data
through this means and also how were you
able to select your participants
how did you know that they would be your
participants what were your
qualifications
after that you tell your readers how
many participants did you choose
what is that based on did you just
decide in a particular number
a particular random number just for the
heck of it
or you decided that 30 or
50 participants would be enough to be
able to arrive
at a good conclusion after
talking about your respondents and how
you selected them
you talk about um
what would you what did you do to the to
the data that you gathered
since the methods part talks about your
sources of information
it is important to note that your
primary sources of information are the
ones that you interviewed or you got
answers from
those are your primary sources of
information
how about your secondary sources of
information these include the books that
you read
journals online sources you may cite
them
in this part of your study so you can
quote them you can now cite them
of course citing sources is going to be
another discussion
and i suppose you have already mastered
the skill
even in your previous research classes
so going back to the study we had
earlier on the effects of indoor
activities to the health of students
we've already gone through how the
introduction will sound like
now let's proceed to the methods part
what will the researcher do
or say in the methods part of her inrad
report
so m is for methods so she will describe
how she chose her participants how many
of her participants were chosen
how did she gather the data and she will
now describe
what did she do with the data so what if
she gathered
the the names or the activities the
interactivities that the participants
did and how much time they spent on
those indoor activities
and what are the perceived effects of
those activities to them
so what so this is where she will
describe
what formula did she use what type of
statistical treatment did she use to the
data that she
gathered so that's for the end part
methods
okay so here's another study on
um on visual arts skills
during the modular distance learning and
face-to-face learning
so i suppose that this researcher means
to
means to compare the skills
learned as a visual artist at the time
when there was no
pandemic when we did not hear about
covet yet and now that they're already
having their modular learning
mode of learning okay so this researcher
in her methods part must describe
what data did she seek who were her
respondents
and how were they selected and then now
she will describe she should describe
what was her sampling technique how did
she know that
this certain number were selected for
her participants
and then how are these computed what did
she do
to the data that she gathered what were
the tests that were performed
so of course in this video i will not
anymore elaborate
the different tests the different
statistical tests that must be done to
the data
you can have you can have uh you can
ask for assistance from your
statistician
or of course you can go back to your old
notes on statistical treatment
all right so that's the end part of your
imrad report
Results
before we proceed to the third part of
our report
let's have a quick run through of the
other two parts that we have already
we have already tackled which are the i
or introduction and for methods
and so now we proceed to results
basically results is really the meat
of your reporting this is the part where
the readers would look forward to
what you found out in the course of your
study
so if you recall in the introduction
part you gave
research questions that you wanted to
answer in in your study
in the results part i as a reader would
expect
what are the questions what are the
answers to those
questions so practically
you will present the results as an
answer to those questions so for example
here's a study on the impact of social
media
to the boholana contemporary art scene
in the new normal
in this study i find that in the
statement of the problem
the researcher wants to find out what's
the age
and the gender of her participants or
the
research respondents profile so in the
results part
i as a reader would also expect to find
what's the age
and what's the gender of her
participants
so you see the connection or in her
second statement
in her second question specific question
in her study
what are the respondents profile on
their artistry in terms of
our discipline specialization our status
locality where are they based so i would
expect to find
in the results part the answer to these
questions as to art discipline
specialization art status
etc so i hope you see the connection
for so let's go back to the study that
we had earlier
uh remember the study on the effects of
indoor
activities to the health of students if
you remember question number one was
what are the activities that the
students engage themselves in
in this time of pandemic that's in the
introduction part
so i would expect in the results part
that
the researcher the the researcher will
present
the answer to this question will show
the data
of what activities are the students
engaged in during this time of pandemic
her second question was what are the
perceived effects of indoor activities
to the health of the students so i would
expect in the results part
that this researcher will show the
perceived effects
of the the indoor activities
now the third question was is there a
significant relationship between
the engagement in indoor activities and
expressive effects to health
so of course i will also expect the
answer to this
question and this is this can be
computed
using any statistical treatment that the
researcher
thinks is applicable to her
study you actually have different
options in presenting your results and
discussion
if it works that you will put results
separately from
the discussion then do so some writers
may also opt for putting results and
discussion together
or results and discussion and conclusion
together
so whatever works for your reporting
then
do that so basically the discussion
or the last part of your reporting
should answer or wrap up the answer to
your research questions
that you presented in the introduction
part i
as a reader would expect to find the
answer
to your hypothesis which you presented
in the introduction part
so that wraps up our discussion on the
imrad
format so going back to our question
earlier in this video we asked um
what is the inbred format check we've
already answered that second
are the abstract and introduction the
same thing
no so we we've already presented what's
going to be in the introduction
the abstract is actually a shorter
version of the whole
report so as a reader if i don't i don't
have the time
to read everything in your report i will
look at your i'll simply look at your
abstract
so since the abstract is like a
bird's eye view of the whole research
process i would expect to find
as a reader i will expect to find the
questions that you try to answer
what did you find out and what are the
implications of this study
you can also cite in your abstract how
did you find
how did you gather the data so this is
where you can quickly talk about
what what sort of statistical treatment
that you did
to your data that's it so that's
the abstract it will not even take so
many pages
it's just one page or less than a page
it's just a quick view of the whole
study
that's the abstract and the third
question that we asked earlier in this
video was
do i really need to be do i need to be a
really good writer to be able to make a
research report
i don't think so because of course
it pays a lot to be a good writer
because you don't have to sweat
over it you don't have to to struggle
finding words to
express yourself but since research
reporting is technical writing
this does not require creative writing
you don't have to to imagine
you don't have to look for flowery words
to be able to express
yourself technical writing is saying it
as it is
so that's also a rule in writing
remember that since this is technical
writing
remember to use the third person in in
reporting so you don't say i i did this
i did that
it's it's recommended that you use the
third person point of view the
researcher did this and that he she did
this or that
so that's it another remember that since
this is already a report of your study
use the past tense be conscious of
of using the past tense in making your
report because
of course you only make a report after
that you've done your research process
next is do away with informal terms as
i've said
this is technical writing so do away
with slang words do away with
figurative language because technical
writing
is literal writing
do you need to be a really good writer
yes
it it is a plus but as long as you can
say it as it is you
remember to be simple to express in
simple language
and remember that you are you are
concerned
that your readers will understand what
your report is about so that's basically
it that's a basic
requirement so that wraps up our
discussion on the imrad format
i hope this video helps and i'm looking
forward to
seeing your imrad reports
as soon as possible
