PART 1 Importance of data analysis in daily life Data analysis is a process used to transform, remodel and revise certain information
(data) with a view to reach to a certain conclusion for a given situation or problem.
Data analysis can be done by different methods as according to the needs and requirements. For example if a school principal wants to know whether there is a relationship between students’ performance on the district writing assessment and their socioeconomic levels. In other words, do students who come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds perform lower, as we are led to believe? Or are there other variables responsible for the variance in writing performance? Again, a simple correlation analysis will help describe the students’ performance and help explain the relationship between the issues of performance and socioeconomic level. Analysis does not have to involve complex statistics. Data analysis in schools involves collecting data and using that data to improve teaching and learning.
Interestingly, principals and teachers have it pretty easy. In most cases, the collection of data has already been done. Schools regularly collect attendance data, transcript records, discipline referrals, quarterly or semester grades, norm- and criterion-referenced test scores, and a variety of other useful data. Rather than complex statistical formulas and tests, it is generally simple counts, averages, percents, and rates that educators are interested in. There are many benefits of data analysis however; the most important ones are as follows: - data analysis helps in structuring the findings from different sources of data collection like survey research. It is again very helpful in breaking a macro problem into micro parts. Data analysis acts like a filter when it comes to acquiring meaningful insights out of huge data-set. Every researcher has sort out huge pile of data that he/she has
