BSIE–1B
Three methods were used to provide instruction in science for the seventh grade. Method 1
included lab each week, Method 2 include lectures, and Method 3 had both lab and lec. The
table shows end-of-course test performance for the three methods. Which method is better?

from different classes.

4. DISCUSSION

 As shown in the result of the parametric measure using one-way Anova, the p-
value (0.004012) is less than the f-value (5.96376), so the null hypothesis is
rejected. Also, the p-value is less than the alpha. This means that the difference
between the mean of Method 1 with only lab, Method 2 with only lecture, and
Method 3 for combination is significant enough to reject the null hypothesis. It
also is blatantly revealed in the table that Method 3 with the combination of the
lab & lec has the highest mean. We can then decide that the third method is
significant enough to state that Method 3 has betterment technique in science
class at a 0.05 significance level.
 In the result of the nonparametric measure using the Kruskal Wallis test, the p-
value is less than the alpha [p<a], so the null hypothesis is decidedly rejected.
Also, the p-value (0.00403) is less than the h-statistic value (11.0269). When
depending on the median of the three methods, it’s obvious that Method 3 has
the highest median and that’s enough to state that Method 3 has a better
technique.

4. DISCUSSION

 As shown in the result of the parametric measure using one-way repeated

Anova, the p-value (0.005122) is less than the f-value (5.89869), so the null
hypothesis is rejected. Also, the p-value is less than the alpha. This means that
the difference between the mean of Method 1 with only lab, Method 2 with only
lecture, and Method 3 for combination is significant enough to reject the null
hypothesis. It also is blatantly revealed in the table that Method 3 with the
combination of the lab & lec has the highest mean. We can then decide that the
third method is significant enough to state that Method 3 has betterment
technique in science class at a 0.05 significance level.

 In the result of the nonparametric measure using the Friedman test, the p-value
is less than the alpha [p<a], so the null hypothesis is decidedly rejected. Also, the
p-value (0.02705) is less than the X²r-value (7.22). When depending on the
median of the three methods, it’s obvious that Method 3 has the highest median
and that’s enough to state that Method 3 has a better technique.
