This document discusses data interpretation and provides details on what interpretation is, its importance, techniques for interpretation, and precautions that should be taken. Interpretation refers to drawing inferences from collected facts after analytical study and finding broader meanings of research results. It helps explain factors observed in a study and provides guidance for future research. Proper interpretation establishes connections between studies and explanatory concepts, and is necessary to understand abstract principles and the real significance of findings.

2. Interpretation
• Interpretation refers to the task of drawing
inferences from the collected facts after an
analytical and/or experimental study.
• It is a search for broader meaning of research
finding .
• Interpretation is the device through which the
factors that seem to explain what has been
observed by researcher in the course of the study
can be better understood and it also provides a
theoretical conception which can serve as a guide
for further researchers

3. • The task of interpretation has two major
aspects:
i. the effort to establish continuity in research
through linking the result of a given study
with those of another.
ii. The establishment of some explanatory
concept.

4. Why Interpretation
Usefulness and utility of research findings lie
in proper interpretation
• To understand the abstract principle that
works beneath the findings
• Establishment of explanatory concepts
• To explain the real significance i.e. why his
findings are what they are.
• Interpretation is required for hypothesis
results.

5. Technique of Interpretation
• Reasonable explanation of the relations and
interpret the lines of relationship in terms of the
underlying processes.
• Extraneous information must be considered
• Consultation with experts
• Consider all relevant factors affecting the
problem to avoid false generalization

6. Precautions in Interpretation
Researcher must pay attention to the
following points for correct interpretation:
• Data are appropriate
• Good Homogeneity
• Proper Analysis
• Avoid Errors
