BEST TRAINING DATA ANALYSIS RESULTS INTERPRETATION PRESENTATION AND REPORTING

FineResults Research Services would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming workshops on Research at our FineResults Research Services training facilities in Nairobi, Kenya or online.

     DATA ANALYSIS RESULTS INTERPRETATION PRESENTATION AND REPORTING

Introduction

Understanding the appropriate data analysis method, and the right interpretation of results is critical in coming up with an evidenced-based decision for development. Further, learning the basic recommendations involved in presenting the results using texts, tables and graphs are essential because it makes it much easier to understand the data under analysis and promotes accurate communication of research outputs. Moreover, well-presented research information in the form of texts, tables and graphs not only makes the research output article easy to understand but also attract and sustain the interest of readers, and ably present complex information.

This 5-days course will equip participants with skills necessary in data analysis, data interpretation and presentation.

Duration

5 days

Who should attend?
