Title: Analysing questionnaires
Course: EDPS0009: Researching Education and Society: Qualitative Methods 2020/2021 > Section: 6. Analysis

In the previous section, we focussed on some approaches to analysing qualitative data, such as the interview data or observations through using coding and the development of themes. These approaches can obviously be used for any qualitative data from questionnaires, too. But what do we do with the quantitative data, such as the results from Likert scales?

Quantitative data is usually analysed mathematically through concepts such as statistics and probability. For the purpose of this course, we do not need to go into too much detail, but you will need to understand some basics in order to be able to analyse and make sense of the results of Likert scales, for example.
