Statistics is a science needed by professionals across various disciplines and academic levels to conduct educational studies and research. Addressing the gap in Arabic literature and the need for Arab researchers and students to apply statistics in education using the popular SPSS statistical system, this book aims to meet the needs of researchers in educational sciences with minimum effort and time. It focuses on clarifying the theoretical side of statistical methods through simplified explanations and direct application using the software. This is achieved using real examples of research problems, followed by a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to analyze them, and a thorough explanation of the results and how to interpret and write them in the final report. The book includes a CD containing the data for the examples used for explanation and practice.
