PASTIC organized a three-day extensive training workshop on “Research Tools and Techniques (SPSS)” held from 10-12 December, 2024, for the research scholars of Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, at PASTIC National Centre, Islamabad. The objective of this workshop was to enhance the research capabilities of research scholars and students. Dr. Maryam Ibrar was the Resource Person, and twenty-four (24) research scholars from Quaid-e-Azam University attended the training workshop.
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a versatile and responsive program designed to undertake a range of statistical procedures. It’s important to note that SPSS is not the only statistical software – there are many others that you may come across if you pursue a career that requires you to work with data. Some of the other more common statistical packages include Stata and SAS (and there are many others). The focus for this session, however, was on SPSS. SPSS software is widely used in a range of disciplines, including marketing, education research, healthcare, and medical fields.
At the end of the training workshop, participants became familiar with SPSS presentation of statistical output and equipped themselves with the basic knowledge of “How to conduct descriptive and Basic Inferential Statistics.”
