Language Strategies for English Language Learners in Science. By Melinda Moya
Table of Contents • Research Design • Threats to Internal Validity • Threats to External Validity • Pre-Test and Post-Test for Experimental Group • Pre-Test and Post-Test for Control Group • Data Analysis • Survey • Reference
Research Design • Quasi-Experimental Design: Nonequivalent Control Group Design • Two groups of ELL students. The first group is the experimental group X1 • The second group is the control group X2. Here the treatment will be classroom instruction. Both groups will receive a Pre-test and a Post-test O. • Symbolic Design: • O X1 O • O X2 O
Threats to Internal Validity • History: Any past experiences or cultural background can affect participation or involvement. • Maturation: Students individual attitude and experience towards Science, language skills, and computer usage may lead to loss of interest or participation. • Testing sensitization: Students may not take Pre-testing or post-testing seriously.
Threats to external validity • Pretest-treatment: Pre-test scores may affect feelings towards post-test. • Hawthorne effect: Students may have the feeling of “being watched” and they perform according to the way they think researcher wants to find. • Experimental effects: Teachers may feel they need to teach for the test during this time of year.
Pre-test and Post-Test for Experimental Group Average Pre-test: 58.07
