Chapter 5 restates your research questions, presents findings, and connects them to existing literature. Most students skip that integration step. You also need to discuss implications, limitations, and future research directions.
Chapter 5 is where you get to say, hey, here are the research questions again, if you want to put them in there. And here's what I found, and here's what it means, here's how it integrates into the previous literature. And this is the one point that I find the most neglected in Chapter five is not tying what you found in with the work that others have done in the past. It shows where your research fits in the journey towards knowledge in your field. In addition to tying it in, you're going to talk about the implications of what you've done, future research, what else should be done. You can talk about the limitations of what you've done.
