Dear Colleagues
Please find below a short blurb on my webpage
http://independent.academia.edu/JohnFHall which
contains updated and expanded training materials on the use of computers to
process and analyse data from questionnaire surveys, particularly using SPSS 15
for Windows. I would be grateful if you could draw them to the attention
of students and colleagues in social research as I need feedback on ease of use
and understanding.
There is also a selection of survey-based research
reports and related items deriving from my 45 years in survey
research.
All materials are freely downloadable.
Regards
John F Hall

New learning resource for survey
research and SPSS for Windows
A new learning resource for social
(survey) research is now open to students, social researchers and others.
http://independent.academia.edu/JohnFHall
The page has been set up by John Hall
(now retired and living in France, but still actively involved in supporting
social research). It contains a
selection of (not easily available, if at all) research reports, papers and
other documents relating to his time as Senior Research Fellow at the SSRC
Survey Unit and as Director of the Survey Research Unit at the then Polytechnic
of North London.
The first entry under Papers is a guide (with hyperlinks) to
all contents
The first entry under Teaching is an annotated guide (with
hyperlinks) to learning materials based on the postgraduate Survey Analysis
Workshop he designed and taught at PNL
until 1992. There are introductory
articles on the use of computers to process and analyse data from questionnaire
surveys and extensive tutorials on SPSS.
The latter have been updated and greatly expanded for use with
SPSS 15 for Windows. They have a gentle step-by-step approach
with full screen-dumps at each step.
The first slide-show under Talks is
fun.
There are more tutorials and exercises
to add, but there's enough for now to get people started on SPSS, and find out
more about its uses (and abuses).
All contents may be freely
downloaded.
