Study Notes
Types of Graphic Organizer
- Visual thinking tools that help organize information and ideas to easily comprehend and internalize data.
Descriptive Statistics
- Summarizes or describes characteristics of a data set.
- Measures of Central Tendency:
- Mean: Average of a data set.
- Median: Middle value in a data set.
- Mode: Number that occurs most often in a data set.
- Measures of Variability:
- Provide descriptive information about the dispersion of scores within a data set.
- Standard Deviation: Measures the amount of dispersion.
Types of Graphs
- Line Graph:
- To show trends.
- To make predictions.
- To compare two or more variables, different variables, situations, and information over a given period of time.
- Bar Graph:
- To compare several categories of data.
- Frequency of Distribution:
- Ideal for visualizing the distribution of data when we have more than three categories.
- Frequency of a value is the number of times it occurs in a dataset.
- Pie Chart:
- Easy-to-understand ‘pie-slice’ format and illustrates numerical proportion.
- Breaks down a group into smaller pieces.
- Shows part-whole relationships.
- Histogram:
- Shows continuous data in ordered rectangular columns.
- There are no gaps between the columns.
- Compares categories.
- Venn Diagram:
- Uses overlapping circles to visualize the logical relationships between two or more groups of items.
Test Statistics
- One Sample T-Test:
- Used to determine whether an unknown population mean is different from a specific value.
- Paired Samples T-Test:
- Compares the means of two measurements taken from the same individual, object, or related units in order to measure the significant difference.
- Independent Samples T-Test:
- Compares the means of two independent groups in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different.
- One-Way ANOVA Test:
- To determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means of three or more independent (unrelated) groups.
APA 7th Edition Format for Tables and Figures
- Tables:
- Present information or numbers in rows and columns.
- Vary in size and structure depending on the given data.
- Figures:
- Any images used within the text, including data visualization graphics like graphs, diagrams, flowcharts, photographs, and artworks.
- Types of Notes:
- General Notes:
- Come first and preceded by the word “Note” in italics, followed by a period.
- Specific Notes:
- Refer to specific points in the table or figure.
- Probability Notes:
- Give p-values for the data in the table or figure.
- General Notes:
Qualitative Data Analysis
- 5-Step Process:
- Prepare and Organize Your Data:
- Print out transcripts, gather notes, documents, or other materials.
- Review and Explore the Data:
- Read the data to get a sense of what it contains.
- Create Initial Codes:
- Use highlighters, notes in the margins, sticky pads, concept maps, or anything that helps connect with the data.
- Review Those Codes and Revise or Combine into Themes:
- Identify recurring, frequent, or repetitive themes, language, opinions, and beliefs.
- Present Themes in a Cohesive Manner:
- Consider the audience, purpose of the study, and what content should be included to best tell the story of the data.
