Analyzing Data

ANALYSING DATA USING COMPUTER

 

We have already seen how data tables are created. Sometimes the data encoded in a table may have to be analysed for understanding a particular event. For example, we would like to know the achievement of the students of the district in the KSQAO tests. We would like to know the percentage of students who have not mastered even 40% of the competencies prescribed. How do we come to know of these? The computers provide a unique facility of analysing large quantities of data in a very short period of time. For preparing data sheets and analysing data we can use spreadsheets in excel or any other package like SPSS or Statistica. Through computers we will be able to merge all data regarding different aspects into one file and take up analysis in a very comprehensive way. Thus profiles of teachers in the district, the nature of student population,  the rate of absenteeism,  student enrolment etc can be keyed into the computer and analysed. Handling large quantities of data is no problem at all.
