Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of SPSS practical training to improve the research competencies of the students and academic staff of “Fan S. Noli” University. The population consists of 42 participants in the training sessions that were conducted during the development of the “Technology and data analysis in scientific research: Applications in SPSS, R and EViews” project, implemented in “Fan. S. Noli” University. The instrument used was a pretest and posttest questionnaire that was distributed among staff and students taking part in the training. The questionnaire’s aim was to grasp the perceptions of participants related to data entry, descriptive statistics, testing hypothesis, regression analysis, correlation analysis, and categorical data analysis. Subsequently, the data gathered was compared using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results indicated a statistically significant difference in all the fields mentioned above, thus confirming that participants performed better after the training than before.
