Also, the correlation coefficient of 0.85 tells us that our portfolio is highly…
In the Chi-Square test table below, the “Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed)” determines the level of confidence. This particular level of confidence is less than 0.5, which means the difference is statistically significant. The null hypothesis is thus rejected. Chi-Square Tests Value df Asymp. Sig.

Each participant’s global competence score and the motivation score were calculated by adding the scores of the 15 items. The scores could range from a low of 15 to a maximum of 75. Upon analyzing the result, the Spearman rank-order correlation test shows that there was a significant positive relationship between the participants’ global competence score and the language learning motivation score. For the four categories of motivation, the correlation for integrativeness…

The Gesell Institute made an effort to make the findings of the GDO-R more generalizable. The following information concerning sampling, reliability and validity are based primarily on the findings by the Gesell…
