To learn about SPSS, Quantitative Techniques, Research Reports, Academic Research, and Data Analysis services, kindly contact; +923229692357 or email: tahirkhanzaee@gmail.com

A starting point to understand SPSS is to read some material related to research. You can read a simple book such as Research Methods. SPSS learning can be divided in to three steps. 
1st step is to learn about Variable feeding/ Questionnaire input. In this stage, you program SPSS about your research questionnaire or instrument. 
2nd Stage is Data input where you input your data collected through questionnaire or some other source of observation.
3rd Stage is the most complicated one as in this stage you analyze the data by using relevant statistical techniques such as correlation, regression, etc. After conducting the analysis, next you copy the results in to your report/thesis/dissertation and interpret the results.

Quantitative techniques and software such as SPSS are research tools, main thing is that you configure your research topic, research questions, and hypothesis right. 
For example, if you want to design a simple research, lets say you set your topic to be descriptive, then you will also design research questions in descriptive form, and then hypothesis also on descriptive format and same process for casual and comparative research
So thhe key points are:
First selet the topic---- then design the research questions--- then design the research objectives---- then develop hypothesis-- Collect the data-- run the tests--- get the results---conclusions


Learning SPSS consist of different steps. Lets review each step one by one.
Step 1: Inputting Variable/ Questionnaire Feeding in SPSS
The first step is to prepare your SPSS, so that you can input data in it. Therefore, first of all, you need to program the SPSS so that it can understand different things such as the nature of your data, type of variables, number of variables, etc.
install the SPSS in your computer and start the SPSS. You will arrive on the following screen.


After you click on "type in data" you will reach to main SPSS program.  the following screen will appear
In this screen at the bottom, you will seen two buttons. One button says 'Data View' and other 'Variable View'.  In 'Variable view' you can enter the variables of your study while in 'Data view' you can input the data. Starters should click on 'Variable view' so that first input the variables of the study while in second stage, data can be entered in SPSS. Now you are ready to start putting the variables in your SPSS program.
