Assignment 5 ( MINI ResearCh/SPSS and qualitAtiVE AnalysIS)

Hello peeps, 

  This week required us to create a questionnaire and then later on, we have to produce a mini report based on the gathered data from the survey. This chore was quite tough to be done but with the assist from Mr Fariduddin, me and my partner Josman Ghani managed to get it done.

    First of all, as the instructions given by our dedicated lecturer Mr Fariduddin, we created a pilot test. This was a mini one, a way to make us familiar and exposed with the actual format of questionnaire. Before producing the REAL questionnaire, we created a mini pilot test at  www.surveymonkey.com. We created around 10 questions as a basic introduction questions on MObile Learning. But first, we need to sign up at the website which was free of charge and then proceed to create the question. The steps was really easy to conquer and even IT illiterate like me could make it done. After that, we are told to email the pilot test to each and every one of us at (IPGKS B.ED TESL students and our fellow course mates from IPGKDRI). 

       Creating the pilot test was a part of it, next will be the creating the actual original questionnaire using Google Document, the one which results will be used to produce a mini report. The steps were as follow.

1.    Use Gmail account.

2.    Open Google Document.

3.    Create New and click Form

4. Add demography and item/question in variety format such as multiple choice, checkboxes and scale.

5.    Test it among fellow course mates.

6.  Download the completed questionnaire in Excel format which will be imported in SPSS

7.    Send to course mates from IPGKS and IPGKDRI.

   In hand to that, creating those questions was quite challenging as well as made us to think critical on various sub-topics to be questioned. After a few days, we proceeded to SPSS in order to analyse our data's. 

    Since our survey consists types of questions such as Checkboxes, Multiple choices and Scale, so we need to analyse them by using a computer aided quantitative data analysis such as SPSS. It cant be done manually as we need to analyse it numerically. Later on, based on the date received, we were told to make a report on our mini research in a journal article format complete with references. This mini report comes with quite number of sub-topics such as introduction, abstract, literature review, research approach, recommendation and others.

   Last but not least, this assignment has make me really learn a lot on mostly ICT skills required as a teacher to be. Its totally a brand new learning process for me as I never heard before stuffs like surveymonkey, SPSS, pilot test and Google Document. But now, i can proudly say that I am now a savvy in handling those stuffs. As a teacher to be, I think all teachers should be a technology savvy as it helps us in making out teaching & learning process fun. As a conclusion, I believe this subject,basically this assignment had helped me a lot in being a technology explorer and maximise the use of modern tools. 

Thank You @ IK

GOD is GREAT! ~
