Note: UiA PULS no longer offers physical SPSS courses but is working together with the Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences to create a video-based course. This will be ready during the 2024/25 academic year.

The course covers

  • Bli kjent med SPSS, programmets oppbygging og menyer (data-, output-, syntax-filer)
  • Plotting av data i SPSS, overføring fra andre programmer (excel, SurveyXact)
  • Finne deskriptive data i SPSS
  • Enkle hypotesetester (uavhengige og avhengige grupper, to grupper vs. tre eller flere)
  • Enkel bivariat korrelasjon og lineær regresjon

Forkunnskaper ikke påkrevd, men det er en fordel dersom en har noe grunnleggende kjennskap til statistiske begreper.

  • Get to know SPSS, the programme's structure and menus (data, output, syntax files)
  • Plotting data in SPSS, transferring from other programs (Excel, SurveyXact)
  • Finding descriptive data in SPSS
  • Simple hypothesis tests (independent and dependent groups, two groups vs. three or more)

Previous knowledge is not required, but it is an advantage to have some basic understanding of statistical concepts.
