Efficient-market hypothesis

The problem this study is addressing is that in the physics classroom of a suburban high school, the teacher has access to enough laptop computers for every student to be able to use one, but does not use them because he does not know how to incorporate them into instruction or if they will be helpful in increasing learning. The purpose of this study is to find out if incorporating the laptops in a one to one computer based instruction will increase student achievement and motivation. The…

Article Review Traditionally, professional development for teachers has been provided in the form of training sessions, consultants, and observation cycles conducted by a master/mentor teacher. Teachers can often have negative reactions to this type of observation model, as it can make them feel like someone is coming in to tell them what is wrong with their practice. Alternatively, peer observation is a newly emerging form of professional development, where two teachers of similar skill level…

determine the function of the behavior, educators go through the FBA process. This process can be broken into components known as the following: identify and define the behavior, plan the assessment, collect information/data, analyze data, and compose a hypothesis statement. Generally after the FBA process is completed, they start a Behavior intervention plan. One can see that the report on Jason strictly follows this format. For example, the facts given in the “General Information” section is…

The illustration above is a good summary for the people who have knowledge about Chemistry, Biology, and Geology. However, it is challenging to understand for people who do not have knowledge in the fields mentioned above. It is so important to give an interpretation so that those people can understand this report. Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants create their own nutrient by using sunlight. Sunlight acts as the convertor to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic…

in which these forms or ideas are imperfectly replicated. (Plato 15) After defining the nature of “science”, the trivial and missing parts are acquired easily through clear characteristic analysis. Plato’s philosophy inspired us to implement the hypothesis to our sensible world after observation and therefore identify the objects in order to scratch the picture in…

The Stroop effect by John Ridley was done in the year of (1935). The experiment tested the interference in serial verbal reactions. Frank H Durgin (2000) suggested that the Stroop effect was a way to prove that humans cannot multitask. Durgin also states that habit and strength are not responsible for the delay in reaction time. The processing speed theory states that there is an interference when a participant names black inked colors and when they name colors that are printed in different…

My STEAM Expo experiment was testing which hamster food gives hamsters the most energy to hamsters. I tested three store brand foods: Carefresh Complete, Sunseed, and Nibble Rings. I also tested one that I made based off of the research that I did prior to the experiment. I thought that this project was perfect for my three hamsters, because they are all very tired and lazy. I also think that other people can use my type of food so that their hamsters can be energetic, too. I observed the…

(1) What is the hypothesis of this paper and where did you find it? The hypothesis of this paper predicts if low-intensity electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are a method of sensory transduction, then it is expected that that EMF can evoke brain potentials like other sensory modalities. This hypothesis can be found at the end of the Abstract and at the end of the second to last paragraph in the Introduction. (2) Is the writer’s voice passive or active and does he appear in the text? If the…

areas, (Nores et al., 2013). The primary pollinator of bougainvilleas is the bee, but other weather factors such as wind can affect pollination in bougainvilleas. The hypothesis of this experiment is that the weather in which a bougainvillea is, will affect how many pollinators the plant will encounter on a given day. The null hypothesis is that the weather has no effect on the amount of pollinators that visit the bougainvillea encounters. The reason these questions are important is because they…

first is that as low tide gets closer, the birds become further away and thus harder to see. This variable may have been influenced by the amount of visibility and thus a more powerful spotting scope is recommended for future studies. The second hypothesis is that as the birds migrated, there were less present and therefore it took a quicker amount of time to count the amount of birds and thus there might be a relation between the birds migrating and quicker sampling times which could have been…
