Essentials of quantitative data analysis in a statistical package (SPSS) using questionnaires

Duration

8-hour virtual workshop or three-day in-person workshop

Audience

Quantitative researchers, Postgraduate supervisors, Doctoral & Masters students using questionnaires as research instrument

Workshop outline

The objective of this series of workshops is to aid quantitative researchers in analyzing data by utilizing SPSS as a statistical tool. The primary focus will be on applying statistical techniques using SPSS. A wide range of statistical techniques for examining questionnaire-generated data will be explored. The course's structure will follow the standard data analysis cycle.

This is not a statistics course,but instead a practical training on how to analyze quantitative data using a computer package. Upon finishing this program,participants will be proficient in follow­ing the data analysis cycle to analyze data collected using a questionnaire as a research instru­ment, as well as the statistical tool SPSS.

Participants must have access and a license for SPSS

Actual questionnaires and datasets will be used!

This workshop is a prerequisite for the intermediate workshop.
