It's supposed to tie all the threads of your thesis together, so you should write about your main findings and their significance.
Hi emaa,
Hope you will find the following suggestions helpful.
1. Integrate the various issues raised in the discussion sections.
2. Provide answers to the thesis research questions.
3. Identify the implications of the study.
4. Highlights the limitations of the study.
5. Suggest areas for future research.
For my thesis, I had a 'Summary and Recommendations' chapter, rather than a conclusion chapter. My data chapters did a good job of covering off on most of points that Meaninginlife listed. However, the chapter was a good place tie everything together and address the objectives/research questions from the introduction chapter. The recommendations were the most enjoyable part to write of course. I even had a section called 'Contribution to Knowledge', which was a nice opportunity to remind the examiners about the original nature of the work.
Have a chat to your supervisor, as they may have suggestions about how you should structure your final chapter.
