Abstract

The article is focused on the evaluation of a questionnaire survey. The aim was to determine whether the creation of interactive manuals, which monitor working in statistical software, helps to make education processes effective. For a clear evaluation and presentation of the pilot survey a method of correspondence analysis was chosen. The correspondence analysis is a multivariate graphical technique for representing information in a two-way contingency table. Analysis outputs indicate that these manuals are an effective way of teaching how to work in statistical software. This conclusion was confirmed primarily by less skilful students.
