Professional Skills

Formulating and structuring of research questions, choosing tools and methods for data collection and validation, defining research arrays, deciding sampling methods, choosing methods to analyze and process data, deciding on time tables, and defining methods to report the findings.

Quantitative data – writing programs for entering data, data entry, and data processing.

Qualitative data – performing content analysis while using strategies of expert validity.

Presentation of findings in a comprehensive report using suitable tables and graphs.

Construction of complex statistical processing programs of an ordered structure, that enable accessibility and availability for future usage. The programs contain simple but rich inner structures that make them compact and didactic for application. Consequently, the process of data processing is quick, efficient and accurate.

In the process of building programs there is a combination of bottom-up and top-down ways of thinking, and a transition from one to the other with a holistic view of the process instead of only focusing on details. In addition, there is an emphasis on finding the components most relevant to the issue of the research, defining them and determining the relative weight of each component in the data processing.
