Data Presentation
Data Presentation
• When presenting data in this way, you use words to describe the
relationship between information.
• Textual presentation enables researchers to share information that
cannot display on a graph.
• An example of data you may present textually is findings in a study.
When a researcher wants to provide additional context or explanation in
their presentation, they may choose this format because, in text,
information may appear more clear.
• Textual presentation is common for sharing research and presenting new
ideas. It only includes paragraphs and words, rather than tables or
graphs to show data.
Tabular
• This method of displaying data uses diagrams and images. It is the most visual type for
presenting data and provides a quick glance at statistical data. There are four basic types of
diagrams, including:
• Pictograms: This diagram uses images to represent data. For example, to show the number of
books sold in the first release week, you may draw five books, where each image accounts for
1,000 books and consumers bought 5,000 books.
• Cartograms: This includes any type of map that shares the location of a person, place or
object. For example, cartograms help navigate theme parks so you can find attractions, food
and gift shops.
• Bar graphs: This type uses rectangles of different sizes on an x and y-axis to represent
different amounts in a data set. It depicts numerical values and uses rectangles to display
data for variables in your research.
• Pie charts: In this type of diagram, data appears as a fraction in a circle. This displays any type
of numerical data but works well with fewer variables.
How To Present Data?
• Knowing who your audience is can help you choose how to present your data.
Consider how knowledgeable the audience is on your data topic. For example, if you
are presenting data on the performance of a product to your team, they need less
context than a group of investors, who may require background information on the
product. Other important information to know about your audience includes their
interests, problems they experience and how you can resolve these issues, their
motivation for attending your presentation and their general life experience.
• Understanding your audience helps customise the presentation to them and
increases its effectiveness. You might also consider the reaction you desire from your
audience when they view your data. For example, if you want to convince them to
support a cause, ensure your data reflects this purpose. You can learn more about
your audience by sending them surveys ahead of your presentation with questions
about their understanding of your data topic and their motivations for learning more.
3. Choose a presentation type
• You can determine the main data points by identifying how the data
relate to each other. For example, if you take a sample of how much
time it takes different team members to complete a task, it is
important to know intervals of time and which team member is the
quickest and who is the slowest at completing the task. In this
example, you may also examine factors that contribute to how long it
takes to complete a task.
• Identifying the main ideas of your data and research helps organise
your presentation and communicate clearly with your audience about
the significance of the information you gather.
