Week 4 (SPSS and Qualitative Analysis)

New task for this week! This week, we were given a task based on the online questionnaire that we did earlier. First of all, you have to install the SPSS software so that you can proceed to carry out your task, of course =) Next, you must have all the data  which basically means the feedback of your online questionnaire because we're going to analyze it in the SPSS. To collect your feedback of your questionnaire, simply sign in in your google doc and click on your questionnaire document where you'll be redirected to the new page where all of the responses are recorded.


You can also see the summary of your survey by simply click on the 'Form', and 'Show summary of responses'.

this is how it'll look like..

Done with the google doc questionnaire. Next, we'll proceed to the SPSS to do our data analysis. Right after you open your SPSS Statistic, you can start to fill in your data at the required variables.



Click on the 'Type' box to choose your types of data. Choose 'String' for scale-type of  data or 'Numeric' for objective-type of data..


Key in your data values according to your types of variable..

When you've finished filling in all your variables, you can start to key in your results of your survey at the section of 'Data View'.

Key in your results according to the variables that you've set earlier.

When you're done with all the results, proceed to analyze your data in a form of frequency table to make it easier for you to read your data and to do your next mini journal.


and this is how your frequencies table'll look like.

I can finally understand ways of how to use this SPSS Statistic software. With the guidance from my respective lecturer, using SPSS is actually easier from what i've thought before. SPSS also helps me to analyze and summarize my data collection in a simpler form so that I can finally done my research and mini journal easily. Doing the mini journal next is not really a problem to me and my partner as we've used to write academic writing throughout our assignments all this time. We just have to use all the datas provided from the SPSS in order for us to support our point of view. Overall, this week task mainly introduce us about the usage of SPSS Statistic so that we can familiarize ourself with the usage of it for our future assignments.

That's all for now i guess. Have a nice day! =)
