Q1) Design an experimental study (basic elements,not detailed procedures)that could be used to answer the teachers' research question.
Answer: The researcher would randomly assign students to either the cooperative learning condition or the traditional lecture condition.Thus,the teacher is changing his or her approach and will note the results from the change.In this case,the change or "treatment" is the inclusion of cooperative learning.The traditional lecture group serves as the "control" condition.The researchers' goal is to compare the mathematical achievement scores from students in the cooperative learning condition with scores from students in the traditional lecture condition.If a difference between the two groups exists,then the researcher explores whether or not the difference is more than one might expect by chance (i.e. ,significance testing).
Q2) When a correlation coefficient of -0.80 is found between factor A and factor B,the most accurate interpretation is that
A)a decrease in factor A is strongly related to a decrease in factor B.
