7) A study that tells us whether two variables are associated, but does not tell us if one variable 7)
causes or influences the other, is:
A) An experimental study without a control group
B) A correlational study
C) A descriptive study
D) An experimental study with one or more control groups
10) In general, experimental studies have which one of the following advantages over descriptive 10)
and
correlational studies?
A) Only experimental studies allow us to identify the possible factors influencing behavior.
B) Only experimental studies allow us to analyze data statistically and therefore arrive at
precise results.
C) Only experimental studies enable us to draw accurate conclusions.
D) Only experimental studies allow us to be specific about our teaching objectives.

the
following is an appropriate deduction from this
information?
A) The school cafeteria should decrease the fat content of the food it serves
B) On average, students who eat more do better in school.
C) There is a correlation between weight and classroom performance.
D) Parents should feed their children as much as possible.
12) A researcher is interested in the possible effect of teacher-student ratios on studentsʹ learning. 12)
She finds 10 fifth‐grade classrooms with 30- 40 students per class and 10 others with 15- 25
students per class. She discovers that there is a correlation between class size and student
achievement. Which one of the following conclusions can we draw from this study?
A) Class size can help us predict school achievement.
B) Classes should be as small as is reasonably possible.
C) Classes should be as large as is reasonably possible.

14) Imagine you are an educational researcher who wants to learn about the type of psychological 14)
atmosphere in which middle school students feel most comfortable and best able to
concentrate on their studies. You plan to look at a wide variety of factors that might contribute
to such an atmosphere—both physical factors (e.g., cleanliness and colorfulness of the school
building) and social factors (e.g., teacher-student relationships, general tolerance for diverse
behaviors and beliefs). You realize that students might identify important factors that you
yourself havenʹt even thought of. In this situation, your best choice would probably be:
A) A descriptive, quantitative study
B) A qualitative study
C) An experimental study with one treatment group and one control group
D) An experimental study with at least three treatment groups
15) Mr. Jacobs wants to find out whether a new program for teaching physical education 15)
promotes
studentsʹ physical development. He gives his students a number of tests before they begin
the
program (pretests) and the same tests again after they have been in the program for eight
months
(posttests). He finds that the studentsʹ posttest scores are higher than their pretest scores and
so
concludes that the program is effective. What is definitely wrong with Mr. Jacobsʹ conclusion?
A) There are other possible explanations for his results.
B) The posttests should always be different from the pretests.
C) Tests are not a good measure of physical development.
D) Eight months is too short a time for such a program to have a long‐term effect.
16) Dr. Kenney conducts a study in which she gives some students (chosen randomly) logically 16)
organized learning material; she gives other students the same material presented in a
haphazard,
unpredictable sequence. She finds that students with the organized material remember more.
This study can best be described as:
A) A correlational study B) A descriptive study
C) An experimental study D) A theoretical study
17) A French teacher reads an article about how visual imagery (i.e., ʺpicturingʺ things in oneʹs 17)
mind)
can be used to help students learn French vocabulary words. To find out if visual imagery is
more
effective than verbal repetition in learning vocabulary words, she develops two different study
guides for her students—one that tells students how to use visual imagery to learn French
words, and one that tells them just to repeat the words over and over again—and randomly
distributes the two study guides to her students. Over the next few weeks, the teacher finds
that students using visual imagery study guides achieve higher average quiz scores. She
concludes that the study guides describing the visual imagery technique help her students
learn their French vocabulary words. Is the teacherʹs conclusion valid?
A) No, because her experiment wasnʹt conducted in a laboratory.
B) Yes, because she was able to manipulate a variable in the environment.
C) Yes, because her students probably all had similar IQ
scores. D) No, because she used random assignment.

[See Book II. for Democratic National Platform and Comparison;
Book III. for Governor Abbett’s speech nominating Cleveland.]
A notable scene in the Convention was created by Mr. Neal, of
Ohio, who moved to substitute a radical free trade plank as a
substitute for the somewhat moderate utterances reported by ex-
Secretary of the Interior Vilas, who read the report of the Committee
on Platform. The substitute denounced the protective tariff as a
fraud.
Mr. Neal made an earnest speech in support of his substitute and
was ably seconded by Mr. Watterson.
Mr. Vilas replied defending the majority report in a vigorous
speech, which was as generously applauded as that which preceded.
The debate was animated and made specially interesting by the
suggestions and calls from the galleries. The substitute was finally
accepted by Chairman Jones on behalf of the committee, but this did
not satisfy the friends of the substitute, who persisted in having a roll
call upon its adoption.
A synopsis of the platform was submitted to and received the
approval of Mr. Cleveland, and it was reported that the Neal
substitute was prepared by the anti-Cleveland leaders, and the fact
that the roll call was persisted in by the anti-Cleveland men gave
color to this report.
There was a great deal of confusion and excitement preceding the
roll call, and its progress was watched with as much interest as
though its result was to decide the nomination. The States at the
head of the roll generally cast their votes according to what was
believed to be the feeling of their delegations on the Presidency, but
later on the order was more varied, States known to be for Cleveland
casting their solid vote for the substitute. New York was loudly
cheered when the 72 votes of the State were given for the substitute.
It was a most inconsistent vote, as Tammany is not regarded as a free
trade organization—rather as one favoring moderate tariffs. A ripple
of excitement was occasioned when Chairman Hensel cast the 64
votes of Pennsylvania against the substitute. Mr. Wallace protested
that 15 of the delegates favored the substitute, and he demanded that
the delegation be polled. A colloquy followed between Hensel and
Wallace on the rules of the Convention, and the point raised by the
former that Wallace’s motion was not in order under the unit rules
was sustained by the Chair.
The result of the vote was 564 for the substitute and 342 against it.
