Designed if there is a big range in the data, the groups are chosen so that no data item can appear in to groups. 1 PICTOGRAM DISPLAYING DATA BAR GRAPH 2 Once the data has been collected, it can be 3 BAR-LINE GRAPH displayed in several ways. Which method is 4 PIE CHART chosen depends on the type of data collected and the audience it is intended for. 1. PICTOGRAM. This method uses pictures to represent the frequency. 2. Bar Graph or Frequency Diagram. It is quick and easy to draw, and straightforward to understand. 3. Bar-line Graph. Instead of bars, lines are drawn to represent the frequencies. 4. PIE chart. Each Frequency is represented by a fraction of a circle. SUMMARIZING FINDINGS AND EXECUTING THE REPORT THROUGH A SURVEY - A summary is a composite of the key ideas of a piece of writing, restated in your own words—i.e., paraphrased.  How to write a summary PREPARING TO WRITE. To write a good summary, it is important to thoroughly understand the material you are working with. Here are some preliminary steps in writing a survey.  How to write a summary PREPARING TO WRITE 1. SKIM the text, noting in your mind the subheadings. 2. Read the text, HGHLIGHTING important information and taking notes. 3. In your own words, write down the MAIN POINTS of each section. 4. Write down the key support points for the main topic, but do not include minor detail. 5. Go through the process again, making changes as appropriate  WRITING THE SUMMARY When writing the summary, there are three main requirements: 1. The summary should cover the original as a whole. 2. The material should be presented in a neutral fashion. 3. The summary should be condensed version of the material, presented in your words. GUIDELINES FOR WRITING THE SURVEY REPORT 1.

Conclusion ad Recommendation  FIELD REPORT A written document from data gathered outside the office or field and intends to describe an observed person, place, or event. Often in form of notes taken during the observation but can also include any form of data gathering.  FIELD REPORT The purpose of a field report in the social sciences is to describe the observation of people, places, and/or events and to analyse that observation data to identify and categorize common themes in relation to the research problem underpinning the study. How to write a field report – 5 essential steps 1. Formulate your research problem. 2. Elaborate theoretical framework. Thesis - the point which you will maintain and will try to prove through observations. Arguments - you can refer to data or statistics, or another kind of information to prove your thesis. Remember: by doing your own research, you will add new arguments, so take this into consideration! Validity of your thesis - you should show under what circumstances your thesis could not be applied (i.e., there can be a specific factor which will lead to different results than the ones you expect). How to write a field report – 5 essential steps 3. Specify your methodology and scope of work. 4. Does your field research. 5. Write your field report.  Techniques to Record Your Observations: 1. Note Taking 2. Photography 3. Video and Audio Recordings 4. Illustrations/Drawings Examples of Things to Document While Observing a. Physical setting b. Objects and material culture. c. Use of language d. Behaviour cycles. e. The order in which events unfold. f. Physical characteristics of subjects. g. Expressive body movements.  Parts of a Field Report I.Introduction II.Theoretical Framework III.Observations  Scientific Technical Report - An academic paper commonly used to report experimental research includes a thorough discussion of the materials, methods of experimentation used and discussion of the result.  Writing Scientific Technical Report The report is generally divided into 3 parts: Front matter, Body of report and End matter. It should be based on the following scheme:  Front matter -Front -cover Title - Back page of the title - Table pageof - List of abbreviations, acronyms, or contents - terms Preface  BODY OF THE REPORT - - Core of Introduction report -Conclusions - Acknowledgement - List of s references  END MATTER - Appendix - Indexes - Back cover LET’S TRY!
