Inferential Data Analysis Report: Instructions Step 1: Export data. Download your data from REDCap into SPSS – see resources posted in the course module to help you with this process. You will need to link/add this data to your existing data set. Use the unique identifiers to help you match participant data. Remember : the automatic export feature from REDCap to SPSS is a nicety. Students (particularly Mac users) have encountered difficulty consistently getting this feature to work. All available resources have been posted in the course module. If you are still unsuccessful after trying these fixes, it is recommended that you proceed with manual entry of your data. Step 2: Statistical analyses. Complete FOUR (4) unique statistical analyses total: 1. 2. 3. 4. Question 1 (inferential or group differences) Question 2 (correlation) Question 3 (additional inferential, group differences, correlations, or crosstabs not previously performed in the descriptive data analysis report) Question 4 (same criteria as Question 3) BONUS OPPORTUNITY : The assignment rubric requirements specify that only additional correlation or crosstabs not previously performed are required for full credit of the data analyses for Questions 3 and 4. If you choose to perform an inferential test and/or tests of group differences, as appropriate to your data set, you will earn an additional 1 bonus point per question for Questions 3 and 4 for the opportunity of TWO (2) total bonus points. Step 3: Graphical displays. Create ONE (1) graphical (i.e., bar graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, box plots, histograms) display for: 1. Question 2 (correlation) 2. Include additional graphs/charts as applicable to analyses in Question 3 and 4 Step 4: Knowledge chart. Complete the Knowledge Chart for each of the 4 questions. (a) Copy each question you are asking of your data (from your posttest survey worksheet) into the Research Question used for the Analysis column. (b) Identify why you asked that question of your data in the Purpose of Analysis column.
(c) Identify you Independent and Dependent variables (note: If you have more than one dependent variable, you may include all of them in the dependent variable column.). (d) Identify the analysis ran on your data. (e) Give the raw results of your data analysis. Remember that this includes a narrative summary of your SPSS output included in the report. An interpretation and discussion of the data will be included in the next section. Step 5: Results. Use the raw results of your data analysis in the Knowledge Chart to present the results of your survey(s) here. This section should include a minimum of FOUR (4) sentences and a discussion and interpretation of your findings. Use the guides in Laerd Statistics to help you interpret and write up your results. Step 6: Recommendations for future. Discuss each of the following items: 1. What have you learned about data? 2. What have you learned about data collection? 3. What have you learned about data management? 4. What have you learned about data analysis? 5. What would you do differently next time? This section should be a minimum of FIVE (5) sentences and reference at least ONE (1) source. Other Assignment instructions: There is a report template included for this assignment.
