STATISTICAL SOFTWARE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHES

The importance of scientific research in the educational sciences is supported by the pace of change in society. The objectives of this research are radiography, knowledge, understanding and interpreting specific processes and phenomena in the field of education. To achieve its goals, research must comply with certain standards and principles of scientific quality. This paper presents a software application useful in the design, deployment and exploitation of scientific researches. The objective of the system development has been the acquisition and/or enhancement of skills of the students from Bachelor and Master in Education Sciences in the design, organization, development and exploitation of scientific research. The software system consists of four modules: the first one provides the base structure of the research designs; the second module manages questionnaires and their validation (testing the distribution of item answers and the questionnaire reliability); the third one deals with statistical processing (by applying many statistical computations and tests) and interpretation of data; the last module provides the base structure of a scientific paper that contains the results obtained in the course of scientific research.
