摘要
The process of coding and tabulating multiple-choice questions is simple and well known, yet not free from errors and time-consuming data entry and analysis. This article explains how to code and tabulate variables, which will save time and dramatically decrease the number of errors derived from entering data into a computer. An "active" variable is calculated which may be further analyzed. This article also explains how to obtain more information when analyzing more than two dichotomous variables from the creation of a new joint variable in the data matrix. These processes were applied to data of a research study on cross-curricular subjects in primary education.
