What is the purpose of data presentation? To make data intelligible, interpretable, and connected to research questions.
What are the three main reasons to present data properly? Catch attention, highlight key information, convey data concisely.
What are the three ways of presenting data? Graphical, tabular, textual.
What is a graph? A pictorial representation showing variations or relationships between variables.
What is the purpose of graphing data? To present changes and relationships attractively and convincingly.
What are the two components of graphical presentations? Data components and descriptive components.
What are examples of data components? Bars, slices, diagrams, visual elements.
What are examples of descriptive components? Title, legend, labels, gridlines, footnotes, data source.
What is a pie chart? A circle divided into proportional sectors representing categories.
What is the maximum recommended number of pie slices? Five slices.
Where should the largest pie slice begin? At the 12 o’clock position.
Why avoid bright colors in pie charts? They distract and reduce clarity.
What is a bar graph used for? Comparing category frequencies quickly.
Why should bar graphs start at zero? To avoid exaggerating differences.
Why should bar spacing be limited? Spaces should not exceed bar width.
What is a histogram? A graph showing distribution of continuous data with no gaps.
Why should histogram colors be uniform? To maintain clarity and avoid distraction.
What is a line graph used for? Tracking changes over time and comparing trends.
What is the maximum recommended number of lines in a line graph? Three lines.
What is a scatter plot used for? Showing correlation or degree of relationship between variables.
When should scatter plots be avoided? When data is too dispersed, too few, too many, or overlapping.
What is one guideline for constructing good graphics? Label axes clearly with units.
Why avoid distortion in graphics? It misrepresents data.
Why minimize white space in graphics? To let the data stand out.
Why avoid clutter in graphics? It distracts from the message.
Why avoid 3D effects in graphs? They distort perception.
Why use only one design per graphic? To keep the focus on the data.
What is a table? A systematic arrangement of data in rows and columns.
What is the purpose of tabular presentation? To simplify data and highlight relationships.
Why is tabular presentation part of analysis? Data must be grouped before interpretation.
What should researchers do before creating a table? Summarize and format data properly.
How should rows and columns be assigned? Rows = groups; columns = variables.
Why limit decimal places in tables? To simplify and maintain consistency.
What decimal places does APA recommend for means and SDs? One decimal place.
What decimal places does APA recommend for correlations and proportions? Two decimal places.
What should descriptive tables include? Units, time periods, data source, coverage.
What is an advantage of tabular presentation? Easy comparison of data.
What is another advantage of tabular presentation? It is economical and space-efficient.
What is textual presentation? Presenting data using sentences, phrases, or paragraphs.
What is the main aim of textual presentation? To emphasize important data and supplement visuals.

Can textual presentation stand alone? Yes, if sufficiently descriptive.
What is a disadvantage of long textual presentation? It may be boring and hide relationships.
What does textual presentation typically include? Numerals, percentages, comparisons, findings.
What should textual presentation focus on? Important characteristics and key patterns.
What is an example of interpretation in textual presentation? Stating whether teachers are qualified based on summarized data.
Why is textual presentation essential in research writing? It forms the core of Results and Discussion.
What is the main purpose of graphical presentation? To show patterns, trends, and relationships visually.
When is graphical presentation most effective? When comparing quantities or showing trends.
What is a limitation of graphical presentation? It may oversimplify or mislead.
When is tabular presentation most effective? When precise values and detailed comparisons are needed.
What is a limitation of tabular presentation? Large tables may overwhelm readers.
When is textual presentation most effective? When explaining or interpreting findings.
What is a limitation of textual presentation? It may be lengthy and hard to scan.
Why must textual explanation accompany visuals? To interpret and highlight key points.
Why avoid clutter in graphics? It reduces clarity.
Why should pie charts be limited to five slices? Too many slices reduce readability.
Why should histograms have no gaps? They represent continuous data.
Why should line graphs use few lines? Too many lines confuse interpretation.
Why must table decimals be consistent? To avoid misinterpretation.
How do researchers choose the best presentation type? Based on purpose: comparison, trend, detail, or explanation.
