Problem 2 : Is there a significant difference on the achievement level of the Grade

11 students of Barangay Caghalo Carigara, Leyte in Four Terrestrial Planets
between the pre-test and the posttest?

(Jigsaw Method)
Alpha @ 0.05 Level of Significance
Note:
All the sets of scores were greater than the 0.05 level of significance. Thus, the scores of
the respondents for each test were normally distributed. T-test can be used for
comparison of means between tests and between groups.

Significance
Decision Reject Null Hypothesis
Interpretation With Significant Difference

Note:
The p-value (0.0000) is less than the 0.05 level of significance. The computed t-test value
equals 11.5950 which is higher than the critical t-value at 15 degrees of freedom. The
results call for the rejection of null hypothesis. Thus, there is a significant difference on
the achievement level of the Grade 11 students of Barangay Caghalo Carigara, Leyte in
Four Terrestrial Planets between the pre-test and the posttest in the control group.

Four Terrestrial Planets between the pre-test and the posttest in the experimental group.
Problem 3 : Is there a significant difference on the achievement level of the Grade
11 students of Barangay Caghalo Carigara, Leyte in Four Terrestrial Planets
between the control group and the experimental group (Jigsaw Method) in the
posttest?

at 0.05 Level of 2.145
Significance
Decision Accept Null Hypothesis
Interpretation Without Significant Difference

Note:
The p-value (0.9805) is greater than the 0.05 level of significance. The computed t-test
value equals 0.3294 which is lower than the critical t-value at 15 degrees of freedom. The
results call for the rejection of null hypothesis. Thus, there is no significant difference on
the achievement level of the Grade 11 students of Barangay Caghalo Carigara, Leyte in
Four Terrestrial Planets between the control group and the experimental group (jigsaw
method).
The increment observed in Table 2 in the posttest scores between the control group and
the experimental group (jigsaw method) of 5.83% in favor of the experimental group was
just a coincidence and was generated only by a matter of chance. Although, there was a
change observed in the posttest scores between groups, the change was statistically
insignificant. Further, the effect brought about by the jigsaw method is just similar to the
effect caused by convention/traditional method.
