CHAPTER 4 DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

The previous chapters dealt with the background to the study, literature review, research design and methodology pertaining to this study. This chapter focuses on the presentation and analysis of the data in phase 1 which involved a quantitative research method. The data analysis involved data cleaning, organisation of the data for the purposes of analysis, the data analysis itself, a description of the data and the interpretation of the findings (Trochim, 2006). Despite the fact that it is not possible to generalise the results of this study to film as a supplementary aid in teaching adults about HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, the study has identified key important features of the use of film in Igueben, among both the literate and the illiterate. The findings of this study have, thus, provided powerful benchmarks for exploring the use of film in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the rural communities in countries such as Nigeria.
The overall purpose of this study was to explore the use of film in teaching adults about HIV/AIDS in Igueben, Nigeria. Accordingly, the study reviewed the use of film in education in terms of awareness and prevention campaigns. The focus of this study was the Igueben community, also referred to as the Igueben Local Government Area.
Based on the introduction and the background that was presented in chapter 1, the researcher formulated the following research questions:
1. What is the level of awareness and understanding of HIV/AIDS in the Igueben area?
2. How possible is it to use film to enhance learning process in ways not possible with other teaching aids?
3. Can the use of film on HIV/AIDS predict the responses of illiterate adults in HIV/AIDS awareness campaign?
4. To what extent may film-related educational strategies be applied to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Igueben, Nigeria?
5. What is the role of film on the efficiency of current HIV/AIDS campaigns in determining the optimum value at which current efficiency is greatest?

DATA COLLECTION

The data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire which comprised different sections:
Section 1: Respondents‟ demographical data.
Section 2: Respondents‟ knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS and their preventive practices, if any.
Section 3: Respondents‟ understanding of the way in which film may be used to enhance the learning process
Section 4: Respondents‟ perceptions of the use of film in teaching about HIV/AIDS.
Section 5: Respondents‟ suggestions for the teaching of HIV/AIDS.
The population for the study consisted of male and female adults in Igueben with a sample of 200 respondents selected from various levels or categories of adults. Data were, thus, collected from the 200 respondents, using a structured questionnaire.
The information collected was kept safely and protected by a secret code which was known only to the researcher for access purposes.

DATA ANALYSIS

The completed questionnaires were submitted to a statistician at UNISA for the data to be processed and analysed using the SPSS Version 17.0 computer programme − microcomputer programme. The data were converted into percentages and collated in the form of tables, graphs and figures in order to render the data presentation more meaningful. The data were analysed according to the sections and items included in the questionnaire. The questions contained in the questionnaire comprised categorical variables which were analysed in specific ways. As a measure of reliability, Cronbach‟s alpha coefficient was computed at 0.839, indicating a high measure of internal consistency as regards the items in the questionnaire (Polit& Beck, 2006:11).
Section 1: Demographical data
This section covered the respondents‟ ages, gender, and highest level of education attained, marital status, and religion.
