The Role of Data Analysis Software in Graduate Programs in Education and Post-Graduate Research
Harwell, Michael
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v30 n1-2 p49-56 2018
The importance of data analysis software in graduate programs in education and post-graduate educational research is self-evident. However the role of this software in facilitating supererogated statistical practice versus "cookbookery" is unclear. The need to rigorously document the role of data analysis software in students' graduate coursework and research, and in post-graduate educational research studies, is emphasized along with recommendations for obtaining this information.
