Effective statistical investigation involves several distinct stages, each crucial for ensuring reliable outcomes. Initially, a clear research objective must be established, detailing the phenomena to be observed and recorded numerically.

4. Analysis and interpretation: This is considered the most important stage, since the resulting figures can be used to make comparisons with other studies, which will allow better conclusions to be drawn.

In his book How to do research in education, Professor Jhon W. Best suggests the following points for analysis:
summary of findings
data analysis
procedures used
review of related bibliography
2. Problem
1. title
Technical analysis and evaluation according to the nature of the investigation
analysis and statistical evaluation of results

5. Publication: Final phase of the research, it is the delivery of the results of the study to the interested persons.

Appendices when applicable
Conclusions and recommendations (when required by the investigation)
Description of the results (tables, graphs)
Copy of form (optional)
Brief explanation of the methodology used
hypotheses to be tested
purpose of the research
Statement of the problem

Tabulation or processing: It will depend on the number of forms to be used, the number of questions, the time and resources available.

Computerized
Mechanical
Manual

2. Collection: The results obtained in the statistics depend on this stage, and may be preliminary or definitive data.

critique and coding
primary material classification

uncorrectable or disposable material
