SPSS

SPSS is the data analysis package of choice for people wanting to analyze quantitative data. However, most practitioners find dealing with quantitative data quite daunting. Although most practitioners are quite comfortable with qualitative research methods and analyses, they tend to shy away from using quantitative statistics. However, the ability to perform quantitative data analysis is increasingly becoming an important skill to possess. Actually most people’s fear of statistics is unfounded. The advent of computer software programmes such as SPSS that can be used to analyze data, has meant that people do not have to know or learn mathematical formulae in order to be able to perform quantitative statistical analyses. Nowadays, all one needs to know is the appropriate analyses to perform on their data and how to do it so they can obtain the information they need to know.

This is a hands-on session where tips and tricks are given to students to help them use the SPSS software to analyze quantitative data (including questionnaire) effectively. 


Who Could Benefit From the Course? This workshop is for you if you are involved in analyzing data within your organization. If you are involved in quantitative consumer research, you will benefit by learning new quantitative data analysis skills. If you are involved in qualitative research, you will expand your skills portfolio to include quantitative techniques. This workshop will also be valuable for consultants involved in assignments that produce quantitative data (e.g. usability tests, surveys and focus groups).


How Will I Benefit? After attending this course, you will be able to:

  1. Understand how the SPSS program works.
  2. Input data into SPSS and save it.
  3. Select the appropriate data entry method for the type of data you have.
  4. Select the appropriate descriptive analysis technique for the type of data you have and the questions you are trying to answer.
  5. Perform the analyses using SPSS.
  6. Interpret the data output.
  7. Present the results to clients in an accessible fashion.

Bengkel Sehari PLS-SEM menggunakan SmartPLS

Apa itu SMART PLS?

SMART PLS banyak digunakan untuk menganalisis SEM berbasis komponen. Merupakan teknik alternatif dari SEM berbasis variance seperti AMOS dan LISREL. Software ini dikembangkan oleh institute of Hamburg Jerman dan dapat didownload gratis (tapi harus register terlebih dahulu) SmartPLS adalah aplikasi perangkat lunak untuk (grafis) pemodelan jalur dengan variabel laten (LVP). The partial least squares (PLS)-method (PLS) yang digunakan untuk analisis LVP-in software ini.

Smart PLS menggunakan bahasa JAVA, jadi sebelum menggunakan SmartPLS ada baiknya diinstall terlebih dahulu Java Runtime Environment (JRE) yang juga dapat didownload gratis di situs Sun Microsystem.

Ciri-ciri SmartPLS 

Ciri Algoritma PLS-SEM
° Memaksimakan penerangan terhadap nilai R2
° Memproses data dengan cepat walaupun model kompleks.
° Penganggaran secara linear semua indicator.
° Diguna untuk tujuan peramalan (predictive)
° Hasil boleh diguna untuk analisis selanjutnya
° Tidak terkesan walaupun data tidak cukup.
° Tidak memerlukan penilaian ketepatan padanan model (Goodness-of-Fit)
° Penilaian kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan model reflektif berasaskan pelbagai kriteria.
° Penilaian kesahan, signifikan dan relevan bagi pemberat indicator dan kolineariti indicator
° Penilaian Model Struktural berdasarkan kolineariti antara konstruk, Pekali Laluan yang signifikan, Pekali Penentuan (R2), saiz kesan (f2), Kerelevanan prediktif (Q2 dan q2 effect size)  


Ciri Data
° Teknik Analisis Generasi Kedua - amat sesuai untuk Analisis Penerokaan (Exploratory Analysis).
° Diguna untuk membangunkan teori dalam Kajian Penerokaan.
° Dapat menerangkan varians pada pemboleh ubah bersandar semasa menganalisis model kajian.
° Tiada masalah data identifikasi walaupun menggunakan sampel bersaiz kecil.
° ‘Statistical Power’ boleh dicapai dengan mudah menggunakan saiz sampel kecil.
° Saiz sampel yang besar meningkatkan ketepatan model penganggaran.
° Tiada andaian Data Normal di perlukan kerana PLS-SEM adalan kaedah non-parametrik
° Integriti data tidak tergugat selagi mana missing value dalam tahap diterima.
° Boleh mengendalikan data interval, ratio, ordinal, nominal (ada limitasi).

Ciri Model
° Boleh kendali konstruk dengan satu item atau banyak item dalam satu model.
° Mudah gabungkan konstruk reflektif dan formatif bersama dalam satu model.
° Boleh kendali model kompleks yang mempunyai banyak model struktural.
° Semakin banyak item dalam konstruk, dapat mengurangkan bias.
° Mengendalikan model rekursif sahaja (causal loop tidak dibenarkan)

Kelebihan SmartPLS
° Mudah dikendalikan dan dianalisis.
° Memperkenalkan Smart PLS sebagai salah satu aplikasi yang boleh digunakan untuk menjana hasil penyelidikan
° Menghasilkan model yang kemas dan menarik.
° Mempunyai literature dan jaringan kumpulan sokongan seluruh dunia

How to save your time with effective search strategy!

The search can be time consuming and sometimes tedious task. How can make it easier? How do deal with situations such as:



"I just join as new postgraduate students and I am not sure how doing a literature search, What is a literature review?, Where do I begin in conducting a literature review?” 

"I have been in research for some time now but I spend a lot of time to get the articles I want., What are the best materials to include in my review and how do I locate them?, Is it worth my time to search the Internet for the literature?”
 

"I am sure I have downloaded the article, but I am not able to find it”
 

"I wanted to write a new paper, how can I manage the references in the shortest possible time?”
 

"I have many references, some of my old papers, and some of my current research. Sometimes, they are so many that I can't recall where I have kept them in my folders!”
 

"I have written an article and I am not able to find a proper Journal, Are there any shortcuts for identifying a journal for submission?”

"I want to increase the citation of my papers, how do I do?"



We need an effective search strategy can save hours of wasted research time and provide a clear direction for your research. The benefits of attending this workshop are numerous and include learning how to change the direction of searching to discover and how to use more efficient the tools that are available through the Net."Research Tools”enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize, mobilize and create creative outputs. The benefits from using "Research Tools”can be summarized as helping researchers keep up to date with current developments in their chosen field, up to date information on what is regarding as interesting and stimulating by recognised professors, the ability to choose high-quality relevant papers related to the researchers field, evaluating other researcher and journals, publishing in appropriate journals, increased visibility for publications and access to important writing tools for editing, paraphrasing and summarizing.Writing your thesis or academic paper can be daunting enough but, with the use of the "Research Tools”what seemed virtually impossible will become true to any researcher.

Sharing research results is both an obligation and an opportunity. Since there are many considerations when a study concludes, Dr. Nader provided several"Research Tools” to help with the publication process and ideas for dissemination beyond publishing in a research journal. Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is only the mid point towards receiving citation in the future. The balance of the journey is completed by advertising and disseminating the publications. Familiarity with the tools allows the researchers to increase their h-index in a short time. H-index shows the academicians influence in the specified field of research. Therefore, an academician with a higher level of h-index is deemed to have publications of higher quality resulting in higher citations.

With the use of "Research Tools” the whole painstaking process of your research will be simplified and made easy, leaving you free to use your time for discovering.
 


We would like to invite you to participate in the workshop as follows:

MAIN STRENGTH AT A GLANCE Part 3

Leader of The Pack

ATLAS.ti's multimedia capabilities are and have always been second to none (remember that ATLAS.ti introduced multimedia analysis features as early 1996!)

Create quotations directly from audio and video files, work with or without transcriptions. Link audio to text and videos to photos. Treat videos clips as you would text files, draw connections between any kind of data and content.
ATLAS.ti is not just a text analysis tool, it is truly an entire "text audio video image & more analysis" workbench.


Only ATLAS.ti lets you work just as you need to:

•    create quotations in any type of audio / video / image file just like in textual documents
•    annotate multimedia quotations
•    hyperlink between multimedia quotations and text files (and vice versa, of course...)
•    assign multimedia files like textual files as standalone documents

Thursday, October 2, 2014

MAIN STRENGTH AT A GLANCE Part 2

Great Usability
From its first release over a decade and a half ago, ATLAS.ti has been hailed by users for the way it has been designed with their concrete needs and the way they work in mind. Here are a few highlights:
 
Interface
Any combination of functions can be open together, which allows equally for extremely comfortable and efficient work. A major independent study specifically praised ATLAS.ti for its "slick interactivity between different objects and tasks" which contributes to the high degree of "fluidity with which you can flick between views and functions." (Lewins/Silver, p.) Unlike other programs, ATLAS.ti employs line wrapping of text when
the window size is reduced.


Interactive Margin
ATLAS.ti introduced the classic margin view as early as 1996.

It is ATLAS.ti's perhaps most central work view, and it facilitates work by providing an extremely intuitive environment that emulates a traditional paper-and-pencil feel. Your codes are conveniently in view at all times, even appearing simultaneously as you code.

Its ability to let you choose between viewing codes, memos or hyperlinks, or combinations of them is unique to ATLAS.ti and makes it the most intuitive and most flexible QDA tool out there.

Navigation, Units of Context
ATLAS.ti displays the widest variety of units of context while at the same giving you the most precise text segments at the lower levels (word, sentence, paragraph). Clear and concise points of reference (such as line and paragraph numbers) always make moving around--even large documents--easy.

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

MAIN STRENGTH AT A GLANCE Part 1

What qualifies ATLAS.ti as one of the most powerful QDA solutions anywhere? Many things, we think. Please read why we do what we do, and what we do to keep ATLAS.ti on top of the game.

(1) Superior Functionality

ATLAS.ti offers numerous functionalities that are either completely unique or clearly stand out from the rest of all QDA software packages out there. Here are just a few.

Meaningful Coding Hierarchies

The ATLAS.ti Object Explorer is a clickable tool that lists all work and connections between documents and their quotes. It shows connections of every code with every other code and provides sophisticated views of the coding scheme ( including all the interconnections). Of course, hierachical views of the coding scheme are also possible.

Grouping

ATLAS.ti lets you group codes without changing the coding scheme via its simple-to-use code families (shortcuts to codes)

Transitive Relationships

A unique and extremely powerful feature of ATLAS.ti is its capability of letting you define functional relationships, embodied in transitive (or hierarchical) links, such as 'is a', 'part of; 'causes' etc. Its powerful Query Tool lets you retrieve data based on transitivity.



Flexible Searching / Retrieving / Filtering

ATLASti makes it quick and easy to focus attention on parts of the dataset without even opening its dedicated search tools. Double clicking on code and/or document families filters your work in various ways, providing great insight into the dataset without . Codes can be sorted in multiple ways in ATLAS.ti; this adds great flexibility to the ways information about progress and frequency can be produced.

ATLAS.ti sports powerful search & retrieve functions with Boolean, semantic, and proximity-based operators. Searches always locate coded quotations in context which keeps you very close to the source data at all times.

Comprehensive Annotations


ATLAS.ti gives you numerous different ways to fully annotate your material. Attach extensive comments (even containing multimedia and embeded objects!) to any program object, i.e. quotations, documents, codes or networks. Or create standalone memos that become automous objects and are centrally listed, accessible and searchable.

Powerful Hyperlinking

Hyperlinking allows for precise point-to-point jumping around the dataset at text level. ATLAS.ti enables this very effectively for both text and multimedia, e.g. audiovisual data. In text the hyperlinks flagged in the margin view are easily navigated by clicking.
