Data Presentation and
Interpretation
(Tables)
1. to identify the purpose pf presenting data using tables
2. To understand and analyzes tables
Present and Interpret data in tabular and
graphical forms (CS_RS12-IId-g-2)
Presentation and Interpretation of Data
The next step after editing, coding, and tabulating the data is
to present them into graphical or visual presentation called non-
prose materials. The purpose of presenting the data in this way is
to make the outlined of the results more presentable. Non-prose
materials are composed of graphs, bars, tables, charts, diagrams,
illustrations, drawings, and maps. .
In quantitative research, tables and graphs are usually used.
Standard format in presenting the data into a table or a graph like
its title, labels, contents, and many more can be followed as well
when school institutional format is not provided or identified.
Tables
Table helps summarize and categorize data
using columns and rows. It contains headings
that indicate the most important information
about your study.
To interpret the tables, one needs to do the following:
1. Analyze the connections among the details of the headings.
2. Check the unusual pattern of the data and determine the reason behind
these.
3. Begin with the table number and the title.
4. Present the significant figures (overall results, high and low values, the
unusual pattern).
5. Refrain from repeating again what’s inside the table.
6. Support your findings with literature and studies that confirms or contrasts
your results.
7. Establish the practical implications of the results. This will add value to your
research findings.
8. End with a brief generalization.
Table 1:
Shows the summary of the overall adjectival rating in
frequency and percentage of students in their pretest in
Pre-calculus at Gulayan National High School for S.Y.
2019-2020. Results reveal that 66% of the students have
satisfactory rating. Only 5% have outstanding rating.
Overall, the data showed that the students at Gulayan
National High School have fair ratings based on their
pretest scores.
Table 1:
This implies that most of the students do not have prior
mastery on the concepts of this subject. Hence, teacher
is expected to apply teaching strategies that will increase
students’ concepts of the subject. This result is supported
by Ignacio (2016) that pretest scores especially if it is
valid and reliable shows prior knowledge of the learners
of the subject matter.
The questionnaire and quantitative interview are both
highly structured, but here’s a difference between the two:
In quantitative interviews, (1) the items are read to the
participants; (2) participants and researchers may ask
questions; (3) helpful to blind or uneducated participants
while in questionnaires, (1) the participants read the
questions and answer on their own; (2) the participants
and researchers may not ask further questions; (3) not
useful to blind or uneducated participants.
