Data Analysis Using Software

This document discusses using statistical software to analyze data in educational research. It describes different types of research questions, including descriptive, comparative, and relationship questions. It also outlines common quantitative research designs like descriptive, correlational, causal-comparative, and experimental research. The document then discusses several statistical software programs that can be used for data analysis, including proprietary software like SPSS, Stata, and MATLAB as well as free Excel add-ins like MegaStat. It provides a brief tutorial on using SPSS and the statistical functions available in Excel. Finally, it demonstrates how to code data, perform sample analyses, interpret results, and draw conclusions.

Types of Research Questions
 Descriptive research questions aim to measure the responses of
a study’s population to one or more variables or describe
variables that the research will measure. These questions
typically begin with “what.”
 Comparative research questions aim to discover the differences
between two or more groups for an outcome variable. These
questions can be causal, as well. For instance, the researcher
may compare a group where a certain variable is involved and
another group where that variable is not present.
 Relationship research questions seek to explore and define
trends and interactions between two or more variables. These
questions often include both dependent and independent
variables and use words such as “association” or “trends.”

An Alternative Form of Decision Rule
(based on the p-value)
 Reject Ho if the p-value is less than or equal
to the level of significance ().
Example:
Ho: There is no significant difference bet group A & B
Ha: There is significant difference bet group A & B
