TechniquesinDataProcessing
Remember to organize your data based on your research questions. The data processing involves three actions: editing, coding, and tabulation.
Editing is a process wherein the collected data are checked
Coding is a process wherein the collected data are categorized and organized
Tabulation is a process of arranging data
The next step after editing, coding, and tabulating the data is to present them into graphical or visualpresentation called non-prosematerials.
Non-prose materials are composed of graphs, bars, tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, drawings, and maps....
In quantitative research, tables and graphs are usually used.
Table helps summarize and categorize data using columns and rows
Table. It contains headings that indicate the most important information about your study
Graphs focuses on how a change in one variable relates to another.
Graphs use bars, lines, circles, and pictures in representing the data.
Line Graph illustrates trends and changes in data over time,
Bar Graph illustrates comparisons of amounts and quantities
Pie Graph (Circle Graph) displays the relationship of parts to a whole.
Data. Fact & statistic collected together for reference or analysis
Research data is defined as recorder factual material commonly retained by and accepted in the scientific community as necessary to validate research findings.
A common classification is based upon whocollectedthedata.
Types of data collection
Primary data: the primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time.
Types of data collection
Secondarydata: on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by someone else and which have already been passed through the statistical process.
Primary data are information collected by a researcher specifically for a research assignment.
