Evaluators, by the nature of their work, must be concerned with data management activities ranging from the collection and recording of data to the analyses, summation, and presentation of those data. Though word processing has been cited as the most frequently used microcomputer package by educational evaluators, spreadsheets are among the most popular packages sold to business users. These spreadsheet packages can also offer significant benefits to evaluators. These packages offer better in-program documentation, the capacity to facilitate data entry and editing for processing by mainframe packages, and data summation capabilities in the form of graphics and simple descriptive statistics. Other uses include the development of data entry and analysis templates for use by other evaluators wishing to replicate a study's methodology. (Author)
