COMMON PROBLEMS IN SPW REPORTING
“Sixty
percent (n= 18) of the sample either
strongly agreed or agreed with the statement that
the holiday season tends to cause a great deal of
anxiety.”
Other Examples……
Most of the teachers who taught
Management Accounting, 78% were
comfortable teaching the course.
Of the 15 teachers teaching Management
Accounting course, 62 percent think that
their students were interested in the
information shared.
When asked whether they would recommend
the curriculum to other teachers, 72 percent
of teachers agreed, while 28 percent of
teachers disagreed.
Reporting Continuous
Data
Another form of data that may be reported
is continuous data (e.g., months, years,
hours, and numbers of participants).
Sixty
percent of employees reported that they
were involved with the New Policy for less than
one year, while 40 percent reported more than
one year of involvement.
Reporting open-ended
questions
Eighty percent of the participants in the
beverage server training felt that this
training will be beneficial to them in
performing their jobs. When asked what they
will do differently as a server as a result of
this training, one participant stated, “I will
know what to say when I feel someone is too
drunk for another drink” while another said,
“I will be more invested in checking IDs from
everyone in the bar.”
Verbatim List
Within-sentence Quotation
According to UNDP (2007), “Foreign aid has played a major role in the source and
value of technology imports in Nepal” (p. 44).
Generalization
There is wide agreement that the presence of foreign experts would ultimately affect
the capability-building of the local people. The increasing use of such foreign experts
in Nepal has increased the country’s dependence on them for technological innovation
and upgradation (Gurung, 1997; Tuladhar & Thapa, 2007; Yadav, 2009; and
Chaudhary, 2011).
