Table of Contents • Research Design- Slide 3 • Threats to Validity - Slide 4 • Pre- Survey and Post- Survey- Slides 5-7 • Congruent Graphs And/Or Charts Using Proposed Data- Slides 8-11 • References- Slide 12
Research Design • One-Shot Case Study: Single group exposed to a treatment (X) and post surveyed (O). • Symbolic Design: XO • Independent Variable: Implementing role-playing and reading stories about character education to six first grade students will improve classroom environment and reduce bullying occurrences. • Dependent Variable: Bullying Occurrences and classroom environment. • The same treatment will be given to one group, three times a week, in late morning, for a period of three weeks. • Data: Pre and Post student surveys which aim to show what students already know or have experienced about bullying, as well as what they have learned as a result of intervention.
Threats to Validity • Threats to Internal Validity: History, Maturation, Testing/Pre-test Sensitization,Instrumentation, Mortality, Selection- Maturation Interaction, Statistical Regression, Differential Selection of Subjects • Threats to External Validity: Pre-test Treatment, Specificity of Variables, Experimenter Effects (Active Elements), Reactive Arrangement, Compensatory Rivalry Effect

Pre-Survey and Post-SurveyResults (Proposed Data) Resul t s y x Students
Analysis of Bar Graph • Prior to intervention, I propose that 83.33% of my students will not realize that bullying is a problem at school. After intervention, I believe that the majority of them (50%) will strongly agree will become aware of what bullying is and be able to detect it right away.
X -axis Student Answers Pre-Survey Correlation (Pre-Survey)If I see someone being bullied, I will step in to help them. Y -axis Bystander Occurrences
Correlation Post-Survey In this chart, there is a positive correlation of .975. Therefore, after intervention, students are more likely to intervene and thus are less likely to be bystanders. Hence, after my intervention, I predict bullying occurrences with decrease as students intervene in bullying incidents. X -axis Student Answers Post-Survey
