Quantitative Analysis: convert data to a numerical form and statistical analyses • quantification (量化): the process of converting data to a numerical format (將資料轉換成數字形式) 2

Part I. Dealing With Data • (過錄)編碼簿製作、原始資料編碼 (a codebook & coding data) • 資料輸入 (entering data) • 清理資料 (cleaning data) 3

Coding Data (資料編碼) • Data Coding: systematically reorganizing raw data into a format that is machine readable (將原始資料有系統地轉化成電腦程式可閱讀的形式) • Need a coding procedure & a codebook – Coding procedure(編碼程序): a set of rules stating that certain numbers are assigned to variable attributes (一些設定的規則，以確定變數屬性的編號為何) 4

Coding Data (資料編碼) • A codebook(編碼簿): a document describing the coding procedure and the location of data for variables in a format that computers can use (一份描述編碼程序及變數位置的文件) – Should be well-organized, detailed (有條理、詳細) – Make multiple copies! (多影印幾份，妥善保存) – Precoding (事前編碼) done – Code each questionnaire (每份問卷都需編碼) 5
