Abstract

Bilimsel araştırma sürecinin en kritik aşamalarından biri toplanan verilerin analiz edilmesi ve araştırma problemleriyle ilgili bulgulara ulaşılmasıdır. Nicel verilerin analizi için sıklıkla istatistiksel yazılım paketleri kullanılmaktadır. Son yıllarda piyasada birçok ticari yazılım paketi tanıtılmış ve bu paketler araştırmacıların nicel verileri analiz etmelerini önemli ölçüde kolaylaştırmıştır. Ancak, çeşitli analiz teknikleri için özel olarak geliştirilmiş bu ticari paketlerin yanında, ücretsiz ve birçok farklı analiz tekniğini destekleyen R yazılımının kullanımı da giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. R yazılımı, internet üzerinde ücretsiz olarak sunulan, istatistiksel analizler yapabilen ve grafikler oluşturabilen bir yazılımdır. R yazılımı, Becker ve Chambers tarafından geliştirilen “S” dilinin bir ileri versiyonudur ve açık kaynaklı bir yazılımdır. Bu çalışma, R yazılımını tanıtmayı ve bazı temel istatistiksel tekniklerin nasıl hesaplanacağını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, Türkiye'deki eğitim bilimleri alanında SSCI indeksli dergilerde yıllar içinde R yazılımı ve diğer istatistiksel yazılımların kullanım sıklığını da incelemektedir.

Usage Trends of Statistical Software in Educational Research: A Descriptive Study of Turkish Publications in SSCI Journals, 2010-2014

Abstract

One of the most critical stages of the scientific research process is analyzing the collected data and reaching findings related to the research problem. Statistical software packages are frequently utilized in analyzing quantitative data. In recent years, many commercial software packages have been introduced to the market, significantly facilitating researchers in analyzing quantitative data. However, alongside these commercial packages, the use of R software, which is free and supports many different analysis techniques, has been increasingly widespread. R is a free software available on the internet for statistical analysis and creating graphics. It is an advanced version of the “S” language developed by Becker and Chambers and is open-source. This study aims to introduce R software and demonstrate how to calculate some basic statistical techniques. It also examines the frequency of use of R software and other statistical software in SSCI-indexed journals in the field of education sciences in Turkey over the years.
