Abstract

Purpose: This community service activity aims to improve lecturers’ competence in processing and analyzing research data using STATA statistical software. The activity also seeks to enhance participants’ understanding of statistical analysis methods, ranging from descriptive to inferential analysis, to support the production of more comprehensive and reliable research findings.Research Methodology: The activity was implemented through three stages: preparation, training and mentoring, and evaluation. The preparation stage involved coordinating with the partner institution, identifying participants’ training needs, preparing training materials, and providing the required facilities and STATA software. The training stage consisted of material presentation, demonstrations, and hands-on practice in data management, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and interpretation of STATA outputs. The activity was followed by direct mentoring to assist participants in applying the materials. Evaluation was conducted through observation and participant questionnaires.Results: The activity was successfully implemented, and participants demonstrated a good understanding of the materials and were able to operate STATA during the practical sessions.Conclusions: The training and mentoring activities contributed to improving participants’ knowledge and practical skills in processing and analyzing research data using STATA.Limitations: Limited time restricted the depth of practice and mentoring provided to participants.Contributions: This activity provides practical support for lecturers in strengthening their statistical analysis skills and utilizing STATA to support future research activities.
