Johnson, www.reseasrchmethods.org

  7. Overview of Data Analysis • The next series of powerpoints will cover: • Qualitative Data Analysis • Descriptive Data Analysis • Data Analysis to Explore Relationships • Inferential Statistics Dr. G. Johnson, www.reseasrchmethods.org

  8. Data Analysis Strategy • At the end of the data analysis techniques, we will return to the research plan • Final planning step: • Putting it all together—stay tuned • Testing the plan Dr. G. Johnson, www.reseasrchmethods.org
