What is the first thing that enter to your mind when you see data? The first
instinct is to find patterns, connections, and relationships. We look at the data to find
for the significance in it. In the same way, in research, once data is collected, the next
step is to get meaning from it.
Data is all around us, it`s everywhere and in every actions we do results in a
new data and information. Research data such us questionnaires, Focus Group
Interview (FGI), Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and other related documents should
be collected, observed, or created for the purpose of analysis to come up with an
original research results. You cannot simply move into conclusion in your research
study without doing the correct process and methodology used in the analysis and
interpretation of your data gathered. In other words, data analysis, interpretation and
implications are needed. It is as important to a researcher like you as it is important
for a doctor to cure the sickness of the patient before giving him any treatment and
medicines. Data analysis help the researcher to come up to a valid and concrete
conclusion.
This module will guide you on how to do the interpretation of data and descriptive
data analysis method. It contains some activities that can help you enhance your
knowledge and skill in data analysis and interpretation and implication. You can
improve your hidden skills in this area. You can make it.
At the end of this module you are expected to learn the following:

WHAT`S IN
What is Research
WHAT`S NEW
WHAT IS IT
Ordinal Scale: exclusive categories that are exclusive and exhaustive but with
a logical order. Quality ratings and agreement ratings are examples of ordinal
scales (i.e., good, very good, fair, etc., or agree, strongly agree, disagree, etc.).
As you can see in the above examples, there is a numerical value assigned to
each are and this is known as quantitative data.
WHAT`S MORE
Descriptive statistics are most helpful when the research is limited to the sample
and does not need to be generalized to a larger population.
For example, if you are comparing the percentage of adults vaccinated in four
different barangays, then descriptive statistics is enough.
Since descriptive analysis is mostly used for analyzing single variable, it is often
called univariate analysis.
The importance of data interpretation is evident and this is why it needs to be done
correctly. Data is very likely to arrive from multiple sources and tends to enter the
analysis process with tapsy turvy ordering. Data analysis tends to be extremely
subjective. While there are several different types of processes that are implemented
based on individual data nature, the two broadest and most common categories are
“quantitative analysis” and “qualitative analysis”.
Think: Ponder about your data from various point of views, and what it means
for various respondents.
Reflect: Be aware of the many danger of data analysis and interpretation
brings on. Correlation with causation, subjective ideas and bias, wrong
information and inappropriate data.
WHAT I CAN DO
Table 1
Distribution of Respondents by Age
Table 2 reveals that almost 45.33 percent of the respondents are in the age
bracket of 21- 30 years old compared to only 9.3 percent in ages 51 – 61 years old
and above and 21.33 percent belonged to the 31- 40 age range.
This age profile is important as it also reflects the current age demographic for
the Filipinos according to Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). There is a much
younger age cohort of teachers entering the workforce.
There is a much younger cohort who has the capacity to purchase product and
services.
Table 2 Distribution of Respondents
by Sex
Sex Frequency Percent
Table 2 shows that 61.33 percent of the respondents are female compared to
38.67 percent males. This is representative of the current gender distribution of the
population in the Philippines.
According to Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in 2015 of the total population
in the Philippines, 50.40% are males and the rest are females.
This gender distribution is common among most countries where male becomes
more in population than female (Skelton, 2012).
