Implications refer to the potential consequences or effects that arise from research findings. They involve considering how the results can be applied in real-world contexts and understanding their broader significance.
Think of implications as being similar to ripples caused by throwing a stone into water. Research findings create ripples that extend beyond just the study itself - they have far-reaching effects on policies, practices, and future research.
Applications: The practical uses or ways in which research findings can be implemented.
Significance: The importance or relevance of research findings in relation to the field of study.
Future Directions: Areas for further investigation or research based on the implications of current findings.
