3.5 Data presentation and
Analysis
Soon after collecting the data in Kibera, they were channelled
to the EG West Centre. The information gathered through interviews and
questionnaire from our sample population was organized, coded, recorded,
edited, analyzed and interpreted to determine the factors surrounding primary
education and Entrepreneurship in East Africa (Bell 2005:203)
The qualitative data contained in questionnaires and
interviews was scrutinized in order to find patterns and similarities within
the data. Thanks to the technical assistance of supervisor and training staff,
it was possible to generate codes to analyze the in depth qualitative data.
The statistical software SPSS served as principal tool of
analyzing and reporting the quantitative results of our findings in a succinct
way (Cramer 2003: 154)
This wonderful software actually enabled us to consider
aspects related to statistical interference and ordinal, nominal and scale
variable. All these were analyzed to allow us to answer questions about the
owners' interests in investment, the regulatory environment and the investment
climate, and the satisfaction level perceived by teachers and pupils (Cramer,
2003: 223)
All data sets were adequately compared in order to determine
the means and the median of our findings in related schools (means, modes and
medians). The central tendency was equally used where appropriate.
The Pearson's correlation was used to determine the
relationship between teachers and pupils' level of satisfaction in the selected
schools and their degree of involvement in academics. An interpretative
approach of statistical difference was equally carried to figure out the
sampling error in the control group, especially with pupils test scores (Best,
J &Kahn 2003:393-395)
This correlation analysis has helped to discover the
relationship between the investments in any kind in the entrepreneurs' schools
and the pupils' achievements. With this, we were able to say if their actions
were having either a positive or a negative impact. (Myers & Well,
2003:46)
From this information, a detailed analysis was done with
specific regards to our study's central questions and sub questions.
3.6 Conclusion
In this chapter, we have given a thorough picture of our
research method including process of collecting our data in Kibera. Case study
was found appropriate and steps governing such an approach have been well
followed. Hence, a multi strategy source plan was adopted for this purpose.
Questionnaires, interviews, documentary etc were used to access related
information on primary education and Entrepreneurship in one of the largest
slums of East Africa.
All the 20 Entrepreneurs, 25teachers and 25pupils' kindly
responded to our study. Together with information gathered through past and
ongoing research papers, a detailed report of the analysis of their answers has
been provided. It has been assumed that all these data from various sources
will likely provide concrete and reliable results of the study. Specific
parameters such as ethical issues, limitation of the study as well as data
presentation and analysis were equally addressed in this chapter.
The following chapter presents our results. Subsequently a
further step from there is taken to draw a series of conclusions.
