The discussion section ties the other sections of the research report together and gives them meaning. 討論部分將研究報告的其他部分聯繫在一起，並賦予它們意義。
The major finding should be discussed in relationship to the research problem, purpose, or hypotheses. 應結合研究問題、目的或假設來討論主要發現。
How to Prepare the discussion section 如何準備討論部分
A study’s findings should be compared with findings from previous research. 研究結果應與以前的研究結果進行比較。
A study’s findings should be linked to the study’s framework and or the existing theoretical knowledge base. 研究結果應與研究框架和/或現有理論知識庫相關聯。
Fundamental questions to answer: 需要回答的基本問題：
Do your results provide answers to your testable hypotheses? If so, how do you interpret your findings? 您的結果是否為您的可檢驗假設提供了答案？如果是這樣，您如何解釋您的發現？
Do your findings agree with what others have shown? If not, do they suggest an alternative explanation or perhaps a unforseen design flaw in your experiment (or theirs?) 您的發現與其他人所顯示的一致嗎？如果沒有，他們是否提出了其他解釋，或者您的實驗（或他們的實驗）中可能存在不可預見的設計缺陷？
Given your conclusions, what is our new understanding of the problem you investigated and outlined in the Introduction? 鑒於您的結論，我們對您在引言中調查和概述的問題有什麼新的理解？
If warranted, what would be the next step in your study, e.g., what experiments would you do next? 如果有必要，您研究的下一步是什麼，例如，您接下來會做什麼實驗？
Style: 風格：
Use the active voice whenever possible in this section. 在本部分中，請盡可能使用主動語態。
Watch out for wordy phrases; be concise and make your points clearly. 當心冗長的短語;簡潔明瞭，把你的觀點說清楚。
Use of the first person is okay, but too much use of the first person may actually distract the reader from the main points. 使用第一人稱是可以的，但過多使用第一人稱實際上可能會分散讀者對要點的注意力。
Approach 方法
You must relate your work to the findings of other studies - including previous studies you may have done and those of other investigators. 您必須將您的工作與其他研究的結果聯繫起來 - 包括您之前可能做過的研究和其他研究人員的研究。
Consider how the results of other studies may be combined with yours to derive a new or perhaps better substantiated understanding of the problem. 考慮如何將其他研究的結果與您的研究結果相結合，以得出對問題的新理解或更有根據的理解。
Do not introduce new results in the Discussion 不要在討論中引入新結果
