Training Proposal On Data Analysis Using Spss 23

1) The training proposal outlines a 12-session, 2-hour per session training course over 5 days to teach participants how to analyze data and perform statistical tests using SPSS 23. 2) The training will cover descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, comparisons of group means, statistical associations, predictive models, non-parametric tests, and factor analysis. 3) The target audience includes undergraduates, graduate students, academics, and professionals seeking to master data analysis, interpretation, and communication skills.

TRAINING PROPOSAL ON DATA

ANALYSIS USING SPSS 23

INTRODUCTION
Following data collection and/ after experiment is performed, researchers and students face the
task of converting data gotten from field/laboratory into assertions; there must be a way to
choose among the hypotheses that is the closest to the truth. Statistical tests are the preferred way
to do this, and software programs like Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) make
performing these tests much easier.

SPSS is a comprehensive and flexible statistics and data analysis program produced by IBM
which provides numerous ways to rapidly examine data and test scientific guesses. The program
can produce basic descriptive statistics, such as averages and frequencies, as well as advanced
tests such as multivariate and other inferential analysis. The program is also capable of
producing high-quality graphs, charts and tables. However, knowing how to correctly use the
program will make subsequent independent research projects much easier and more
sophisticated.

TRAINING OUTCOME
On completion of this training, participants will develop an ability to independently analyze and
treat data, plan and carry out new research work based on their research interest. From importing
spreadsheets to creating regression models, to exporting charts and tables, this training covers all
the basics, with an emphasis on clarity, interpretation, communicability, and application.
Therefore, the training encompasses most of the major type of research statistical techniques
employed in academic and professional research.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Undergraduates (particularly final year students), master’s and doctoral students, academic
scholars and lecturers, independent researchers, corporate and governmental professionals who
want to master the skills of data analysis, interpretation and communication.

TEACHING METHOD
The teaching and learning process will include interactive teaching, demonstrations and hands-
on. There will be altogether 12 classes of 2 hours per class spread for 5days. In addition to
practical sessions on the use of SPSS, assignments will be given. At the end of the training group
presentations will be expected in order to evaluate learning outcomes.

COURSE OUTLINE

Introduction to Statistical Analysis


Basic research process; Populations and samples; Research designs; Independent and dependent
variables.

T– test (one sample, independent- sample, paired sample); One-Way Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA); Two-Way ANOVA; Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA); Post-hoc
analysis; Reporting the output in APA format.

Statistical Associations in SPSS

parametric correlation (Chi-Square, Kendall’s tau, Spearman's Rank-Order), Parametric
correlation (Pearson’s,), Special correlation (Biserial, Point-biserial), Bivariate Plots and
Correlations for Scale Variables.

Predictive Models using SPSS


The method of Least Squares; Linear modeling; Assessing the goodness of fit; Simple
regression; Multiple regression; Logistic Regression; Ordinal Regression; Choosing a method
based on your research objectives, checking the accuracy of the regression model; Reporting the
output in APA format.

Non-Parametric Tests
When to use; Assumptions; Options in the Non-parametric tests procedure dialog box and tabs;
Comparing two independent conditions (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Mann-Whitney test); Several
independent groups (Kruskal- Wallis test); Comparing two related conditions (Wilcoxon signed-
rank test); Several related groups (Friedman’s anova); Post-hoc analysis in non-parametric
analysis. Categorical testing: Pearson’s Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test; Interpretation of
several types of nonparametric tests; Reporting the output in APA format.

Factor Analysis
Theoretical foundations of factor analysis; Exploratory and Confirmatory factor analysis;
Testing data sufficiency for EFA & CFA; Principal Component Analysis, Factor rotation, factor
extraction, using factor analysis for test construction; Interpreting the SPSS output: KMO &
Bartlett’s test, initial solutions, correlation matrix, anti-image, explaining the total variance,
communalities, eigenvalues, scree plot, rotated component matrix, component transformation
matrix and factor naming.
VENUE
We prefer institutions to host this event at their preferred location. This will enable participants
to access training class easily.

FEE
The training fee is N10,000 per participant (training manual and light refreshment will be
provided). SPSS Version 23 will also be installed on each participant’s computer at no additional
cost. However, each participant is expected to come with their laptop. For trainings hosted by
client with participants more than 100, a discount of 10% applies.
