What I Need to Know
Data is all around us, it's everywhere, and every action we do results in new data
and information. Research data such as questionnaires, Focus Group Interview
(FGI), Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and other related documents should be
collected, observed, or created for analysis to come up with original research results.
You cannot simply move to a conclusion in your research study without doing the
correct process and methodology used to analyze and interpret the data gathered. In
other words, data analysis, interpretation, and implications are needed. As a
researcher, this is very important to you, in the same manner as a doctor to analyze
the condition of the patient before giving him any advice, treatment, and medicines.
Data analysis helps the researcher to come up with a valid and concrete conclusion.
This module will guide you on how to do the interpretation of data and data analysis
methods. It contains activities that can help you enhance your knowledge and skill
in data analysis, interpretation, and implication. You can improve your skills in this
area. Nothing is impossible.
This module contains activities that guide you on the appropriate method of analysis
of data obtained, interpretation, and presentation of results (if applicable).
• Research data- is any information that has been collected, observed, generated,
or created to validate a research study.
• Data analysis- a process that involves examining, and molding collected data for
interpretation to discover relevant information, draw or propose conclusions, and
support decision-making to solve a research problem.
• Data Interpretation- is the process of making sense of numerical data that has
been collected, analyzed, and presented.
• A Conceptual framework is an analytical tool that is used to get a comprehensive
understanding of a phenomenon. It can be in different fields of work and is most
commonly used to visually explain the key concepts or variables and the
relationships between them that need to be studied .
What I Know
As an initial activity, you will be assessed on your prior knowledge about finding the
answers to the research questions. This is to find out what are the things you need
to learn more about the subject matter.
Multiple Choice. Write the letter of the best answer on a separate sheet of paper.

What is It
What is Data Analysis in Research?
Data analysis is a way of simplifying numerous and wordy data to a meaningful story
and interpreting it to arrive at an insight to behold. It is a process of converting a
multitude of data into a smaller group of sensible data.
Since it is a process, it involves several stages. To start with, data must be organized.
The next step is to summarize and categorize data together. Through data analysis,
you can find patterns and themes to identify and link ideas. Lastly, is to really
analyze data from the start to finish, or one may go backward in analyzing it.
For a researcher, to tell a story about a problem solved, large-scale data might be too
boring for the spectators. Although they rely mainly on data, it cannot give a clear
picture or answer to some questions. Well-analyzed data will reveal patterns that
may be interesting and worth exploring. Through data analysis, researchers can have
a bigger, meaningful, and beautiful picture of data. Organized and analyzed data can
guide the researcher to find patterns and provide shape and beauty to the story they
want to tell. On the other hand, an open-minded researcher must remain unbiased
in whatever data is gathered. Along the way, unexpected patterns, expressions, and
results may arise. Remember that data analysis can sometimes reveal the most
unexpected yet intriguing stories that were not anticipated at the time of data
collection. As a result, trust the information you have and enjoy the voyage of
exploratory investigation.
While descriptive statistics gives details on your specific data set, inferential statistics
aim to make inferences about the population. It makes two common times of
predictions. One is prediction between groups, for example, weight differences
between learners grouped according to their favorite meal. The second is
relationships between variables. For example, the relationship between body weight
and the number of hours a week a person does Zumba dance. In other words,
inferential statistics allows you to connect the dots and make predictions based on
what you observe in your sample data.
A. Define the following Common Inferential Methods
1. T-Tests
2. ANOVA
3. Correlation Analysis
4. Regression Analysis
1. What type of data analysis did you use in your research paper?
Sample interpretation of data using the extracted table from the unpublished
research paper of Ms. Cristy G. Dablo, entitled, “TEENAGE PREGNANCY AND ITS
INTERVENTIONS: MINIMIZING FUTURE RISKS AMONG HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS.”
R1 “Yung natatakot akong hindi panagutan ng nobyo ko, pero mas natakot
akong hindi matanggap ng parents ko ang aking nobyo dahil ayaw nila sa
kanya.”
{I’m afraid that my boyfriend won’t carry the responsibility, but I am more
afraid of my parents not accepting me as they don’t like my boyfriend}
R2 “Nung nalaman kung buntis ako para akng na down kasi nag overthink
