Presenting of research project’s findings is particularly significant for researchers as it can answer the questions and objectives of every research project that all stakeholder prefers. Nowadays, there are many types of research methodologies, including qualitative research, quantitative research, and mixed-method research. Each of these has different strategies, design, data collection and analysis, and patterns of presenting the finding. Qualitative research focuses on finding truth from events and real-life environments and trying to analyze the relationship between events and environments in order to gain in-depth understanding. Most qualitative research is the search for truth in the naturalistic inquiry. This fact is not only factual data, but also includes wealth of interesting information surrounding the phenomena. The essential part of qualitative research is therefore based on presenting findings that can answer research questions. Researchers must have thoroughly understanding of their research paradigm from beginning to end and describe all the continuously details to the readers for their fully and accurately understanding. This paper consequently presents distinctive approaches of presenting the finding of qualitative research which different from quantitative and mix-method research. This is to provide more alternative approaches for researchers in choosing appropriate presentation strategies of the findings of their qualitative projects.
