To help you remember the key points about the previous lesson, you need to
complete the word web below. Copy the diagram below. Write one research instrument
in the rounded square at the center then write one description about it in each of the
rounded rectangles.
Tables present clear and organized data. A table must be clear and simple but
complete. A good table should include the following parts:
Table Number and Title – These are placed above the table. The title is usually
written right after the table number.
Caption subhead – This refers to columns and rows.
Body – It contains all the data under each subhead.
Source – It indicates if the data is secondary and should be acknowledged.

2. Textual Presentation of Data
A graph or chart portrays the visual presentation of data using symbols such as
lines, dots, bars, or slices. It depicts the trend of a certain set of measurements or shows
the comparison between two or more sets of data or quantities.
Charts and graphs are very useful in simplifying the presentation of research
reports. They help students and researchers understand data quickly and interestingly.
A good graph or chart shows that the x and y-axis have a heading and units are
included. The figure number and title are usually placed below the figure. The known
value is plotted on the x-axis and the measured value is plotted on the y-axis.
Example:
A Line Graph is a
graphical presentation
of data that shows a
continuous change or
trend. It may show as
an ascending or
descending trend.

Example:

Bar Graph or Bar Chart – It uses bars to compare categories of data. It may be drawn
vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar graph is best to use when comparing means
or percentages between distinct categories.
Example:

Pie Charts or Circle Graphs – These are usually used to show how parts of a whole
compare to each other and the whole. The entire circle represents the total, and the
parts are proportional to the amount of the total they represent.
