Reflection Week 7-8 : Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)

Today I learn about SPSS. At first I really have no idea on what SPSS is.
After I learn it, I have a little clue on what SPSS is

According to wikipedia,

SPSS is a computer program used for survey authoring and deployment (IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeler), text analytics, statistical analysis, and collaboration and deployment (batch and automated scoring services).


So, SPSS is used for data collection. As for teachers, they need to use SPSS to manage the students record like examination results and all that. With that, everything will be easier. The teachers can see the report on students achievement by extracting the information provided.

The is also frequencies on students achievement and the standard deviation. So basically, SPSS helps the teachers statistically.

As more me, I am using the SPSS for managing the data that I got from the Online Questionnaire.

It helps me to see the result of the questionnaire. We learn a lot from the SPSS learning and I hope I can apply the skills in my future.
