Day 4 - What a WIHIC day!

Today, the intensity level is increased. The WIHIC adventure is turning out to be quite a hiccup one. Amazingly I survived. Actually, in all honesty it is a rather difficult blog to write today. I thought that what I learnt today is really mathematical in nature and practice makes perfect. But what is also important is what the numbers infer and how we must respond.

I also picked up a few key words - Guiding Principles, Qualitative and Quantitative, Items and SPSS. From yesterday's traffic-lights colours analogy I realised that 'Items' is a subset Scales. I got curious to what SPSS stands for and a search in the WIKI reviewed it means Statical Package for the Social Science. I have created this link to the WIKI. 

Actually, the WIHIC instrument is very adaptable for us as trainers. It is a good measure to prompt us to improve the learning environment. One important thing that I learnt today is the ability to comprehend the various reports that others published. I am pleasantly surprised and will look forward to reading more of these literature.
