Data Organization

My surveys have all been administered and I am starting to have some responses trickle in. I plan to follow the timeline I created and I will begin data analysis on November 1, 2013. As I have previously stated, I am administering my survey via email through Google Forms. This makes data collection and organization fairly easy.

• All of the survey data is collected and stored in a Google spreadsheet
• The data must then be coded to match the Likert-scale associated with each response
• 1 = strongly disagree to 6 = strongly agree
• The mode of each question will be analyzed and used to determine a ranking for each subgroup of the survey
• Additionally, an ANOVA test will be used to determine the difference in responses between genders, teaching experience, level of education, and location based by district
• The data will then be grouped into two nominal categories (agree/disagree) in order to run a chi-square test to test the null hypothesis of the study

Finally, I need to make sure that I save a "clean" version of my original data.
