EDD 581 Week 6 DQ 1 Your action research project was designed to collect pretest , interim (at the end of 6 weeks), and posttest data to determine whether playing soft music during study time in a math classroom increased time-on-task and math scores on teacher constructed tests. Two sections of Mr. Jones’ classes were used. Classroom A heard soft music over a 6 week time frame and Classroom B did not. In the next 6 week time frame, Classroom B heard soft music over a 6 week time frame and Classroom A did not. How might these data be used to document success toward these two outcomes: (a) Twenty percent of students will increase their time on task when music is heard during study time and (b) students, on average, will increase their math test scores by 5 points when music is heard during study time. |

EDD 581 Week 4 DQ 1 You are the principal of a large urban high school and wish to do a parent survey to determine how parents feel about same-sex classes. Your budget does not allow you to send out surveys to all parents. You are considering one of two procedures. Please critique each procedure for its likelihood of getting good data that will adequately represent the entire population of parents of your students. Send out a paper survey in the US mail complete with a returned self-addressed and stamped envelope for its return. Send it to the home address of every 10th parent on a listing of all parents in the district. Use simple random sampling procedures to select one half of the parents on a listing of email addresses that about 3/4th of parents have provided you. |
