What does your research contribute to the existing research on the relevant topic?

Instead, it should add to the understanding of your readers of the topics and issues raised in your manuscript. Furthermore, your conclusion should add emphasis to your manuscript, pull the different parts of the manuscript together, emphasize important points, and demonstrate the possibilities for future exploration of the topic under research. Finally, provide some possible implications of your research for the field of study and education in general
