ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
According to Best(1997)statistics is a body of mathematical techniques used or process of gathering,organizing,analysing and interpreting numerical data.Statistics is a basic tool of measurement,evaluation and research It is used to describe the numerical data that are gathered.Statistical data describe group behavior or group characteristics abstracted from a number of individuals observation which are combined to make a generalization possible.Simpson and kofika (1969)states that,"The word statistics today refers either to quantitative information or  to a method of dealing with quantitative information of qualitative information".
        Analysis of data means studying the tabulated material in order to determine inherent facts or mean.According to Kendal,statistical analysis is the science collecting,analysing and interpreting the numerical data and it is one of the basic steps of research process.It involves breaking down existing complex factors into simple parts and putting the parts together in new arrangement for the purpose of interpretation.Analysis involves estimating the values of unknown parameters of the population and testing of hypothesis for drawing inference.In this chapter the investigator has used Mean,percentage and standard deviation for the purpose of analysis.
                     The present study has been designed with  adolescents in learning programme as dependent variable effects of social media considered as independent  variables.The tools validated by a group of subject experts and also it is administered on a sample of 60 students in the schools of thiruvananthapuram district.The data thus obtained were analysed by using appropriate statistical techniques. The details of the analysis are presented below under the following major heads;

Kim (2009)conducted a study on role of international students are support through internet and social networking sites.Specially for particular international students which are using their internet for building new relationship also for and the other students using the internet in their host country.To develop new relationship with students they also used new technologies from their country.Rather than focus on build and maintain relationships,primary goal of students was to meet academic needs.This research's major focus on using internet as a whole.

HYLLEGARD(2011) examine the study on using of social networking sites among students,he examine by online mailing online questionnaires to respondents that the person having smart phones are the most frequent users of social networking sites and have easy access to these sites.More over it showed that junior and senior students are more interesting to use Twitter,linked In and read blogs.Twitter and linked In having more resulting by older students to communicate and sharedinformation and materials with their friends and the younger are frequent user of facebook for their different activities while usage of media have no negative effect on students graders.

INTRODUCTION
DATA ANALYSIS

Methodology reeja balance

METHOD USED FOR THE STUDY
There are 3 major categories of research methods according to Mouly (1970).They are as follows;
1.Normative method
2.Experimental method
3.Normative survey method


NORMATIVE SURVEY METHOD
The survey approach is the most commonly used approach in the educational field.This method is used for collecting and analysing data obtained from a large cross section of the population and it is collected with the help of a detailed scale or interview.This method involves interpretation,comparison,measurement,evaluation and generalization.For the present study the investigator used survey method for collecting data.


TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

Tools and techniques employed as a measure to gather new facts of to explore new fields (John W Best).Different types of data collection use different types of tools.
             For the present study a personal data sheet along with a questionnaire was used.The personal data sheet contained details of name,sex,age,class,name of the school and locate of the school.

SAMPLE SELECTED FOR THE STUDY
     A sample of 60 high school students of 2 schools of Thiruvananthapuram district were selected to find the effects of social media among adolescents in learning programme respect to sex,age,class location of schools.Distribution of sample is given  in table;







ADMINISTRATION OF TOOLS

After getting the permission from the Head of the Institution,the investigator personally administered the questionnaire to the students of various schools.Before distributing the questionnaire clear instructions were given.The questionnaire was given to 60 students that include 30 male and 30 female students.Finally 60 were analysed.

CONSOLIDATION OF DATA

The data was analyzed by using the following statistical techniques.
1.PERCENTAGE
2.MEAN
3.STANDARD DEVIATION


MEAN
       Mean is the simplest measurement of central tendency and is a widely used measure.It's chief use consists in summarizing the essential features of series and enabling data to be compared.It is more stable and suitable for further calculations.


   



N=The total number of students
X=The arithmetic mean
   =The sum of the series of scores obtained by total number of students





STANDARD DEVIATION
        It is widely used measures of dispersion of a series and is defined as the square root of average squares of deviations,when such deviations for the values of individual items in a series are obtained from the arithmetic average.It is least affected by sampling fluctuations.






SD=Standard deviation of score
 N=Total number of students
 F=Frequency

PERCENTAGE


     In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviations "pct.", "pct"; sometimes the abbreviation "pc" is also used.[1] A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number)
