Research Design Pre-Experimental Design. One group of 20 participants none randomly assigned because there is no control group. Pre-Test (O) will be administered to participants before treatment(X) and a Post –Test (O)to determine the experiment’s success. The symbolic design :OXO.
Threats to Internal Validity History: Unforeseen events/ teacher or students absence. Maturation: Students may loss interest in worksheet related activities as they will be exposed to worksheet activities over three months. Testing/Pretesting Sensitization: Pre-Test offer a glimpse of what to look for on Post-Test. Selection Maturation Interaction: Students attain different levels of literacy skills.
Threats to External Validity Pre-Treatment: Participants may try to recall questions from the Pre-Test. Experimenter Effects: Researcher may be bias in setting questions to indicate a high or low mean score. Reactive Arrangements/Participants Effects: Hawthorn Effect : Participants may put out more effort on the tests knowing they are being tested.
Proposed Data Pre/Post-Test consisting of similar literacy skills. Students Worksheet Students Survey
Sample Questions From Survey Sufficient time was given for the Pre-Test Strongly Strongly Agree 5 Agree 4 Unsure 3 Agree 2 Disagree 1 Teacher Assist students with difficult worksheet task Always 5 Usually 4 Sometimes 3 Rarely 4 Never 1 Which subject worksheet is most effective in developing literacy skills _______________________
Survey Results & Analysis .749 indicates a strong positive correlation between the time given to do the pre-Test and the students’ scores on the pre-test.
Survey Results & Analysis .979 indicates a strong positive correlation between the classroom environment and the Pre-Test scores.
