My research questions are

How can the introduction of a 3D learning space improve the learning experience in Quantity Surveying?
What challenges are present in the current teaching methods, and how can a 3D space address these challenges?
In what specific ways can a 3D learning space bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in Quantity Surveying?

I want you to generate

Generate a frequency distribution for academic levels
Cross tabulate levels with other key variables
Compare means of variables like perceived effectiveness across levels using ANOVA
Perform Correlation analysis to explore relationships between the levels
Run regression analysis to predict outcomes based on independent variables
Create bar charts to analyse differences across academic levels

Research Questions Analysis

To address your research questions, we will perform the following analyses:

Generate a frequency distribution for academic levels.
Cross tabulate levels with other key variables.
Compare means of variables like perceived effectiveness across levels using ANOVA.
Perform Correlation analysis to explore relationships between the levels.
Run regression analysis to predict outcomes based on independent variables.
Create bar charts to analyze differences across academic levels.

Let's start with the first analysis.

The bar chart above shows the frequency distribution of academic levels. This provides an overview of how many respondents are at each academic level.

Next, let's cross-tabulate levels with other key variables to understand the relationships between academic levels and other survey responses.

It seems there are some discrepancies in the column names. Let's first list all the column names to ensure we are using the correct ones.

Corrected Key Variables

Based on the listed columns, here are the corrected key variables for cross-tabulation:

'1. On a scale of 1-5, how confident are you in interpreting building plans for measurement purposes?'
'2. My training has adequately prepared me to measure quantities from building plans.'
'3. I can accurately identify spatial relationships in building plans.'
'4. I feel confident in my ability to measure quantities from complex building plans.'
'5. My spatial interpretation skills improve with practice.'
'6. I can easily identify and measure different building components in plans.'
'7. I am proficient in using software tools for spatial measurement from plans.'
'8. I often find discrepancies between building plans and actual site conditions.'
'9. I receive sufficient feedback on my spatial measurement skills from instructors.'
'1. Integrating 3D modelling into the curriculum enhances learning.'
'2. Virtual reality tools are essential for modern Quantity Surveying education.'
'3. I have access to adequate resources for learning Quantity Surveying measurement.'
'4. I believe that 3D e-learning environments can provide a more engaging learning experience.'
'5. I am willing to adopt new technologies for learning purposes.'
'6. I feel that current teaching methods are sufficient for learning how to measure quantities from building plans.'
'7. I believe that a 3D learning space would bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.'
'8. I would be willing to spend additional time learning how to use a 3D e-learning platform.'

Let's proceed with the cross-tabulation using these corrected variables.

It seems there are still discrepancies in the column names. Let's correct the key variables list again based on the exact column names listed previously.

i was asked to code these responses using SPSS can you do that

To code these responses using SPSS, you would typically follow these steps:

Prepare the Data: Ensure your data is clean and formatted correctly.
Define Variables: In SPSS, define each question as a variable and specify the type (e.g., numeric, string).
Assign Value Labels: For each variable, assign value labels to make the data more interpretable.
Enter Data: Input the data into SPSS or import it from a CSV file.
Save the Dataset: Save the dataset in SPSS format (.sav).

Since I can generate Python code, I can help you prepare the data and generate a CSV file that you can import into SPSS. Let's start by preparing the data and saving it as a CSV file.

Can you run data analysis for me on my reponses as well as descriptive analysis?

Sure! Let's start by performing some descriptive analysis on your survey responses. This will include measures such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and other relevant statistics for each question.

To perform inferential statistics, we can run hypothesis tests such as t-tests or ANOVA to compare means, and chi-square tests for categorical data. For cross-tabulation, we will use the crosstab function from pandas.

Let's start with the inferential statistics and then proceed to the cross-tabulation.

Inferential Statistics Results

Here are the results of the t-tests for each question against a neutral value (3 on a 5-point scale):
