UGent – Introduction to SPSS – M1

Originally SPSS was an acronym that stood for ‘Statistical Package for the Social Sciences’. In the meantime, the software package has evolved into SPSS Statistics and one of the most used statistical packages in the world. The power and therefore the danger of SPSS Statistics lies in its ease of use. The syntax that allows you to apply a whole range of operations and statistical techniques to your data is covered by a relatively accessible graphical user interface that allows you to ‘do statistics’ without specialized programming knowledge and without much knowledge of statistics.

This course gives you a solid foundation to translate your own research questions into a qualitative data file and to further develop your SPSS skills based on your analysis needs. The introduction is designed to be experience-oriented. The participants are confronted with a number of problems after which possible solutions are discussed and demonstrated.
