Abstract
Social data analysis instruction is an enterprise providing experiences to develop problem solving skills. A proper focus upon analysis can best be provided with a data analysis package stressing simplicity rather than complexity. MISSIS is such a system, and it is designed to operate on small computers. Small technology can provide a training ground for making sound decisions in analyzing data.
