Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)

Assalamualaikum and a very awesome day to all!!!

I hope everybody is fine and in a good condition....
Today, I'm going to reflect about SPSS....what is it?
Have you ever heard about it? Absolutely your answer is NO....
Me myself never heard about SPSS before I take this Computer in Education course...



Now, let me tell you a little bit about SPSS from my understanding. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences or best called as SPSS is a data management and analysis product produced by SPSS.inc.in Chicago, Illinois. This data management and analysis product is produced to help and most suitable to use for survey research. Besides that, it will ease the process of gathering and analyzing research data regarding on its features are modules that consist of statistical data analyzing, including descriptive statistics such as plot, graph, charts, tables, lists as well as a sophisticated inferential and multivariate statistical procedures like analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis, cluster analysis and categorical data analysis.




After collecting all the data survey that we get from the Survey Monkey, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LBZ5RTG and Google docs spreadsheet, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG9rTXFBNVkxR1duLU1wU01USUwxZ0E6MQ we can start fill the data in the SPSS.




If you have existing data, you can just choose and continue doing your statistic but if you don't, just create a new one.

Fill in all the data in the form. Just refer to the picture what should be filled in each form and column.



Complete all the data needed in the statistic like the above picture and then click analyze.



Choose Descriptive Statistics > Frequencies > choose any variable > Statistics or Charts > click Continue and OK. The output will be processed and the research on the survey findings will be come out.



This is the example of output that has been transferred in the report. 



That's all.
I should learn more and try again and again in order to be capable of using this data management in future.


Thank you for visiting my blog...
Please come again and have a nice day!
