Analysis:
Literally, according to the Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, Data is the backbone of
your Research. It is the base on which the entire study will rely on. Indeed, as we go on
conducting research, we basically need the information or simply the data from different
sources. This data will serve as our input to be use in order to have and make the whole
research study. Yet, analyzing the data wasn’t that simple, as it is said to be the very
controversial part of a research paper. The research’s needed to examine first, analyze and
carefully organized the data to simply avoid confusion and to smoothly deliver the idea to
audience or reader. Considering the use of grammar and words, it must be understandable and
easy to comprehend, which will suited to them, wither your audience is a scholar, teacher,
student or parent and which is enough for them to be interested in your research paper.
Aside from that, this is very important to thoroughly analyze the data correctly to
provide proof or evidences of deepest understanding of the research. Also it helps to ensure
the credibility of your research. It develops trustworthy at the same time as the readers will be
able to create and insight regarding to what the researcher wanted us to know.
Lesson 2: Qualitative Data Analysis
Application:
Exercise 1. Having learned the two general types of research data, what type of
research would you like to pursue- quantitative or qualitative? State your reason.
Both Qualitative and Quantitative is a type of research data which can be used in our
research study, depending on what kind of the study we wanted to conduct or the hypothesis
that we have. In our case if we’re going to consider the feasibility of the research study I
would prefer to used the Quantitative research type of data. Although Quantitative requires
more participants, yet it requires less time commitment especially from the participants. The
data will be gathered through numbers and its data analysis can be conducted relatively
quickly.
Exercise 3. How will you prepare qualitative data for analysis? Explain fully.
As what I have read in the module given, the preparations of the Qualitative Data for
Analysis are the following. First we need to have or produce the verbatim transcript these are
the written records of an interview or group discussion that was made by the researchers. This
verbatim transcript is very essential as it involves all the things that has been said in the
interview conducted, other than that it used to displays the real thoughts of the participants.
However, the researchers decide to only use the information in accordance to the relatedness
to the study conducted. We need to check the verbatim transcript if it is accurate and
complete, through comparing it to the written transcript in order to know if the words or
phrases were the same, nothing more nothing less.
Another is the Anonymizing Data, the researchers simply removed the identity of the
participants, everything the names, locations, or any other specific information and can be
replaced through the use of code name or what we called Pseudonym. In continuation to this
the developing codes is one of the scheme particularly in the qualitative data analysis. It
basically refers to an issue, topic, idea, opinion, etc. that is evident in the data as stated in the
module. This codes can be “Inductive” which comes from the participants and “Deductive”
which provided by the interviewer through using the interview guide. We also need to make
Codebook, in order to make the code we need to study and understand the data carefully and
identifying the participants words later on we can be able to choose the appropriate codes.
Lastly developing the theories which is according to Strauss and Corbin, (in Hennink, et
al.,2011) “theory is a set of well-developed categories that are systematically interrelated
through statements of relationship to form a theoretical framework that explains some
relevant social, psychological, educational, nursing or other phenomenon.”

Exercise 2. Together with your research group mates, do the following exercises. Use a
separate page if necessary
a. Compute the percentage of students who are interested in taking the HRM
class:
Given: Sixty-eight (68) students said they are interested. The total number of
sample is 100.
Formula:
Percentage: % = (f/n) x 100
= (68/100) x 100
= (0.68) x 100
= 68 %
Therefore the percentage of the students who are interested in taking the HRM
class is 68 %.
b. Prepare a frequency distribution of thirty students whose age ranges from 15
to 20 years old and who are willing to participate in the NSTP activity.
c.2. State your decision on H0 if the following data are given: α = .05,
calculated p-value = 0.02
The decision is to reject H0, since the p- value which is 0.02 is less than the
level of significance which is 0.05.
