=Module 6: Interpreting the Data=

Getting Started
Analysis and interpretation give data meaning and place it specifically in the context of your action research. In this stage it will be necessary to step back and critically analyze the data you’ve gathered.

Module Notes
Keep the original question in mind when analyzing the data. Minimize bias as you collate, summarize, and interpret the results. Review all of the data collected and answer the following:


 * What significant points are revealed?
 * What patterns, trends, and associations appear?
 * How does data from different sources compare and contrast?
 * Interpret the results. What conclusions can you draw from the data? Are the results what you expected?
 * What do the findings mean to you?

What the Team Must Submit
A two to three (2-3) page analysis/interpretation of your data.
