Reflete criticamente acerca do uso da quantificação em pesquisas em ciências humanas, chamando a atenção para alguns riscos que permeiam tal atividade, como também para determinadas situações em que tais métodos podem ser caracterizados como amplificadores culturais úteis e justificados. Nesse sentido, analisa aspectos inerentes à atividade de quantificação, como a interconexão estreita com a categorização e a modelização fundada em determinada visão teórica. Busca ainda explorar aspectos conceituais centrais à quantificação, como a redução de informação em prol da detecção de tendências gerais e estruturas, as opções de tal redução em função das escalas de medida mobilizadas, a distinção entre a descrição e a inferência, bem como entre o fortuito e o sistemático. Procura demonstrar, em relação a este último aspecto, que a quantificação possibilita apenas uma aproximação probabilística, o que limita seu poder à detecção da verossimilhança, e não da verdade. Palavras-chave: análise de dados; mensuração; quantificação. Abstract This paper is aimed to critically discuss quantification as a methodological initiative in human sciences, focusing on important risks inherent to this activity, but also stressing its utility as a social tool and cultural amplifier in the context of specific situations. In this context, basic aspects concerning quantification are analyzed, particularly those referring to its connections with theoretically guided activities like modeling and categorization. Additionally, some important issues in the activity of quantification itself are described and analyzed: the search for general structures and tendencies in a set of data, measurement scales, distinction between description and inference, and finally, the interest of distinguishing random from systematic sources of variation. In the context of this last distinction, argument is provided concerning the limitation of quantitative methods in detecting verisimilitude, instead of truth. Keywords: data analysis; measuring; quantitative data-analysis.

Various problems in elementary school students in high grades that arise due to environmental factors or peers, one of which is the lack of concentration of students when learning takes place which can cause various factors.The purpose of this study was (1) to get an overview of the level of concentration of children during learning (2) to obtain clear or detailed information about the factors that cause children to lack concentration while learning (3) to determine the causes and effects that will occur in children lack of concentration in studyingIn this study, researchers used a descriptive method. Quantitative methods can be interpreted as research methods based on positivism philosophy, data collection using research instruments, quantitative data analysis in order to test predetermined hypotheses.

<p>The main goal to pilgrimage is to achieve the predicate <em>haji mabrur</em> (a pilgrim that completely undergoes the rituals and principles) through its rituals. The Ministry of Religion, specifically the Office of Religious Affairs as the vanguard, has duties and fuctions one of which is to provide Hajj ritual guidance services to prospective pilgrims. This study aimed to determine the level of effectiveness of Hajj ritual guidance services at the Ministry of Religion in Eastern Indonesia, by measuring four dimensions broken down into six indicators namely managerial (committee and supervisor), management (planning and implementation), programs (ritual guidance material) hajj), and facilities and infrastructure. This study used quantitative methods, by distributing questionnaires to 900 respondents in 14 cities in Eastern Indonesia, using the Slovin formula with an estimated error of 0.03. The selection of cities was carried out randomly including Balikpapan, Tarakan, Makassar, Palopo, Parepare, Ternate, Tidore, Gorontalo, Kotamubagu, Kendari, Bau-Bau, Ambon, Tual, and Jayapura. Quantitative data analysis used the liker scale (1-4), and the data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the effectiveness of the pilgrimage guidance services at the Ministry of Religion in Eastern Indonesia with a total index was; 3.55 or categorized as "very effective", which were committee indicators (3.54) supervisors (3.47), (3.27) entire planning (3.32), services (3.26), program indicators / guidance materials (3.37), and indicators of facilities and infrastructure (3.34). Hajj ritual services at the Ministry of Religion need to be conducted sustainably through practices for all prospective pilgrims.

PurposeStudents in the marketing discipline have been reported to struggle with quantitative methods. This paper aims to focus on whether it is possible to increase student confidence and reduce anxiety with quantitative data analysis even when limited teaching resources are available. It reports on two half-day initiatives to teach quantitative methods that followed the principles of integration of method into a substantive course (as opposed to stand-alone course) and hands-on approach (as opposed to using a theoretical and hands-off approach).Design/methodology/approachOver the course of three semesters, 92 students that took part of the sessions answered a survey where they reported their basic understanding, confidence, practical abilities and anxiety with quantitative methods.FindingsThe results indicate significant improvements in self-reported basic understanding, confidence, practical abilities and anxiety. Further analysis indicated that neither gender nor previous statistical background had an impact on perceived benefit with the initiative.Practical implicationsIn all, the study indicates that integration and hands-on approaches may be beneficial to reduce anxiety and increase confidence with quantitative data analysis, even when this initiative is limited in time and resources.Originality/valueThe study presents an approach to reducing anxiety and increasing confidence with quantitative data analysis. Teaching initiatives like this may be beneficial in situations when students experience high levels of statistics anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in the ability of teachers in preparing Learning Implementation Plans (RPP) through academic supervision. This research is a school action research with steps: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. This research is planned to consist of two cycles. This research was carried out at MIN Amkoteng Subdistrict Anjir Muara, Barito Kuala District, South Kalimantan Province. Quantitative data analysis was used to determine the increase in the value of the practice of making RPP by teachers based on the standards set by the Ministry of National Education. The results of the study show that the teacher's ability to prepare RPP can be improved by academic supervision; collaboration between teachers and Supervisors of Primary Schools can be well established and useful in fostering teachers to improve their abilities in preparing RPP; the complete document II of the Education Unit (KTSP) MIN Amkoteng curriculum is complete, in the form of RPP collection documents; and this academic supervision can be used as a model in the following years in terms of drafting RPP, and can be used as an example for other schools.

This study aims to make students have an independent character, discipline and responsibility in the digital era through the Monthly Bazaar. The method used in this research was Mixed Method with a sequential exploratory strategy. The sequential exploratory strategy involves collecting and analyzing quantitative data in the second stage based on the results of the first stage. Weights / priorities are more likely to be in the first stage, and the mixing process between these two methods occurs when the researcher makes a connection between qualitative data analysis and quantitative data collection. The results of the study were obtained from qualitative data analysis in the first stage and quantitative data in the second stage. The results of the first stage were obtained from educators' observations of students after completing the monthly bazaar. The results of the second stage are obtained through calculations using a Likert scale and it is obtained the data of 43.75% (ever) if it is categorized in interpretation of scores based on intervals. This data was obtained before the implementation of the monthly bazaar. After implementing the monthly bazaar for two times, the data is 72.75% (often). From the two stages, the relevant results obtained between qualitative and quantitative data analysis showed that there was an independent character, discipline and responsibility embedded in students after the implementation of the monthly bazaar activities.
