Presenting and Interpreting Data in Tabular and Graphical Forms

The document discusses different methods for presenting data in research reports, including textual, tabular, and graphical forms. Textual presentation uses words and numbers to describe data, while tabular presentation organizes data clearly in a table. Graphical presentation uses visuals like lines, bars, and slices to simplify and make data trends easier to understand quickly. Examples of line graphs and double line graphs are provided.

Presenting and Interpreting

Data in Tabular and Graphical


Forms
Practical Research II
• To be able to create and present an organized
picture of information of a research report, it is
important to use certain techniques to
communicate findings and interpretation of data
research studies into visual forms. This common
techniques being used to display data results are
tabular, textual and graphical methods. All these
provide an initial analysis of data.
TEXTUAL PRESENTATION OF DATA
• Textual Presentations uses words, statements of
paragraphs with numerals, numbers or measurements
to describe data.
• They can be used independently to describe the data
when there are very few quantities or numbers.
• They can also be used to compare data using
paragraphs for the discussion.
Example:
• There are 42, 036 barangays in the Philippines. The
largest barangay in terms of population size is
Barangay 176 in Caloocan City with 247 thousand
persons. It is followed by Commonwealth in Quezon
City (198, 285) and Batasan Hills in Quezon City (161,
409). Twelve other barangays posted a population size
of more than a hundred thousand persons.
TABULAR PRESENTATION OF DATA
• Tables present clear and organized data. A table must be
clear and simple but complete.
• A good table should include the following parts:
• Table number and title – these are placed above the table. The
tittle is usually written right after the table number.
• Caption subhead – these refers to the columns and rows.
• Body – it contains all the data under each subhead.
• Source – it indicates if the data is secondary and it should be
acknowledged.
Tabular Presentation With Textual Analysis
• Combination of Textual presentation of data and
Tabular presentation of data.
• 1st paragraph should contain the description of the
data.
• 2nd paragraph was the analysis.
Graphical Methods of Presenting Data
• A graph of chart portrays the visual presentation of data using symbols
such as lines, dots, bars or slices.
• It depicts the trend of a certain set of measurements or shows
comparison between two or more sets of data or quantities.
• Charts and graphs are very useful in simplifying the presentation of
research reports. They help students and researchers understand data
quickly and interestingly.
• A good graph or chart shows that the x and y axis has a heading and
units are included. The figure number and title are usually placed below
the figure. The known value is plotted on the x-axis and the measured
values is plotted on the y-axis.
• This description of a good chart excludes pie charts.
Line Graph

• A line graph is a graphical presentation of data


that shows a continuos change or trend. It may
show an ascending or descending trend.

Double Line Graph
• You can use line graphs show comparisons of
events, situations or information. A double line
graph has two lines connecting points to show
continuous change in the data over time. Similar
to a single line graph, the lines can be ascend or
descend in a double line graph. A double line
graph includes a key, which represents the
information, event and situation being observed.
