CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

"Data analysis is the process of bringing order, structure and meaning to the mass of collected data. It is a messy, ambiguous, time consuming, creative, and fascinating process. It does not proceed in a linear fashion; it is not neat. Data analysis is a search for answers about relationships among categories of data." - Marshall and Rossman, 1990:

Data analysis and interpretation are considered to be one of the important steps in a research paper. After administering the questionnaires, data gathered are raw in nature then it is arranged in a certain format or order. This raw data takes the form of the information.

The most critical and essential supporting pillars of the research are the analysis and the interpretation of the data. With the help of the interpretation, step one was able to achieve a conclusion from the set of the gathered data. Interpretation has two major aspects namely establishing continuity in the research through linking the results of a given study with those of another and the establishment of some relationship with the collected data. Interpretation can be defined as the device through which the factors, which seem to explain what has been observed by the researcher in the course of study.

Presentation  Is the process of organizing data into logical, sequential and meaningful categories and classifications to make them amenable to study and interpretation.

**At the end of the topic, you will be able to:

  1. understand the difference between Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation in Chapter 4 of a research paper;
  2. effectively present the gathered data through graphs, tables and figures; and
  3. formulate the Chapter 4 correctly after analyzing and interpreting**

CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Analysis  A separation of a whole into its constituent parts (Merriam-Webster, 2012)  The process of breaking up the whole study into its constituent parts of categories according to the specific questions under the statement of the problem. (Calderon, 1993)

Interpretation  This section answers the question, “So what?” in relation to the results of the study. What do the results of the study mean? This part is, perhaps, the most critical aspect of the research report.  It is often the most difficult to write because it is the least structured.

**Ways of presenting data:

  1. Textual** - (statements with numerals or numbers that serve as supplements to tabular presentation) 2. Tabular - (a systematic arrangement of related idea in which classes of numerical facts or data are given each row and their subclasses are given each a column in order to present the relationships of the sets or numerical facts or data in a definite, compact and understandable form) 3. Graphical – (a chart representing the quantitative variations or changes of variables in pictorial or diagrammatic form)

Types of Graphs and Charts

  1. Bar graphs
  2. Linear graphs
  3. Pie graphs
  4. Pictograms
  5. Statistical maps
  6. Ratio charts

Example:

Chapter 4 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

This chapter presents, analyzes and interprets the data used in this study to determine the employment status of PUP-T Graduates Batch 2011-2015.

Table 1 Frequency distribution of the respondents’ gender/sex

SEX FREQUENCY (N=109) PERCENTAGE Male 27 24% Female 82 75% TOTAL 109 100%

Table 1 shows the frequency distribution of the respondents’ gender. It illustrates that there are more female respondents which are 82 or 75% than male which are 27 or 24%.

Note :  The interpretation of the data should always be written below the table with the same label as the table title.  The interpretation and the table should not be written on a separate sheet.
