(1) The document outlines 7 steps to take when preparing and writing a data analysis: encode and organize data, use data for statistical tests, present results in tables or graphs, write an interpretation highlighting significant results, support findings with literature, edit for errors, and submit using the required format.
(2) It also discusses processes for editing data for consistency and accuracy, coding qualitative data into categories, and tabulating data in tables manually or electronically.
(3) Finally, it recommends presenting data visually in graphs or tables and provides tips for interpreting tables, such as analyzing headings, checking patterns, stating figures, supporting with literature, and generalizing brief conclusions.

Data Presentation and
Interpretation Maritel G. Dawa, PhD STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE NOTE IN PREPARING AND WRITING YOUR DATA ANALYSIS AFTER GATHERING THE DATA:
• (1) encode and organize your data for analysis according
to the data asked by your research questions; • (2) use your data for statistical tests you have identifi ed in Module 4. You may ask assistance from your statistics and research teacher; • (3) present the result in tabular or graphical form appropriate for your data and research purpose; • (4) write the interpretation for each table or graph highlighting the signifi cant results and its implications; STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE NOTE IN PREPARING AND WRITING YOUR DATA ANALYSIS AFTER GATHERING THE DATA:
• (5) support your fi ndings from relevant literature and
studies you have cited in the Chapter 2 of your research paper; and • (6) edit the grammatical and typographical errors in your interpretation. You may use www.grammarly.com to edit your work. • (7) Submit your work using the format given to you. Remember the institutional format of your school. Editing
• is a process wherein the collected data are checked. At
this stage, handling data with honesty should be employed. When you edit it is expected that you will not change, omit, or makeup information if you think that the data you collected is insuffi cient or does not meet your personal expectations. • The main purpose of editing is for checking the consistency, accuracy, organization, and clarity of the data collected. Data editing can be done manually like traditional tallying or with the assistance of a computer or combination of both. Coding
• is a process wherein the collected data are categorized
and organized. It is usually done in qualitative research. In quantitative research, coding is done to assign numerical value to specifi c indicator especially if it is qualitative in nature. This numerical value will be useful when you are going to analyze your data using statistical tool. Just make sure that the categories created are aligned with your research questions. Coding Tabulation
• is a process of arranging data. In many studies, table is
used to do this process. Tabulation can done manually or electronically using MS Excel. Again organize the data based on your research questions. Before inputting your data into the table, it will be helpful to review your statistics class on how to arrange data according to the statistical techniques you will use. Take Presentation and Interpretation of Data
• The next step after editing, coding, and
tabulating the data is to present them into graphical or visual presentation called non- prose materials. The purpose of presenting the data in this way is to make the outlined of the results more presentable. Non-prose materials are composed of graphs, bars, tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, drawings, and maps. . To interpret the tables, one needs to do the following: • 1. Analyze the connections among the details of the headings. • 2. Check the unusual pattern of the data and determine the reason behind these. • 3. Begin with the table number and the title. • 4. Present the significant fi gures (overall results, high and low values, the unusual • pattern). To interpret the tables, one needs to do the following: • 5. Refrain from repeating again what’s inside the table. • 6. Support your findings with literature and studies that confi rms or contrasts your • results. • 7. Establish the practical implications of the results. This will add value to your • research fi ndings. • 8. End with a brief generalization. SAMPLE 1 SAMPLE 1 SAMPLE 2
