ASSIGNMENT 4 A

Please make up your own data and conduct a hypothesis testing, that is, testing the hypothesized
mean competency with the observed competency.

An Example:
A. PROBLEM
A language teacher taught reading to a class of the seventh grade in the Junior High School.
She taught descriptive text of a person using Jig saw Reading Technique. She drew a
hypothesis that the students’ reading mean competency was higher than 7.5 (minimum
mastery criteria) after teaching them through Jig Saw Technique. She wanted to
measure the effect of such a technique in the students’ reading competency. Therefore,
she wanted to test the hypothesis as to whether to accept or reject it at 0.01 level of
significance. After teaching the reading text, she administered a reading test with 25 multiple
choice items.

D. INTERPRETATION
1. There were ten seventh grade students in the Junior High School taught reading using
Jig Saw Technique. Their reading competencies were scored 0 to 10 or using Statine.
When compared descriptively, the students’ reading competencies of descriptive text
are as follows. Before taught using the technique, the students, mean reading
competency was = 38.00. But, after being taught using Jig Saw Technique, the mean
reading competency increased to 67.00.
2. The effect of such a technique was tested for statistical significance at α = 0.01. The
result shows a significant effect of Jig Saw technique on the students’ mean reading
competency scores (α = 0.01; df=9). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was
accepted.

E. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Jig Saw Technique was effective in improving the students’ mean reading
competency scores.
ASSIGNMENT 4 B
Please make up your own data and conduct a hypothesis testing, that is, testing two-sample
independent case.

An Example:
A. PROBLEM
A language teacher taught reading to two different classes of the seventh grade in the Junior
High School. She taught descriptive text of a person using Jig Saw Reading Technique. She
wanted to test the effect of such a technique in the students’ reading competency. In the
two classes. Therefore, she wanted to test the hypothesis as to whether to accept or reject
it at 0.01 level of significance. After teaching the reading text, she administered a reading test
with 25 multiple choice items.

D. INTERPRETATION
1. There were twenty seventh grade students altogether in Class A and Class B in the
Junior High School taught reading using Jig Saw Technique. Their reading
competencies were scored 0 to 10 or using Statine. When compared descriptively, the
students’ reading competencies of descriptive text are: Class A -= 68.00 and Class B
= 67.00.
2. When compared statistically, the result shows no significant difference between the
two mean reading competency scores (α = 0.05; df=18). Therefore, the null
hypothesis was accepted.

E. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Jig Saw Technique was not effective in improving the students’ mean
reading competency scores in both classes. Therefore the null hypotesis is accepted.
ASSIGNMENT 4 C
Please make up your own data and conduct a hypothesis testing, that is, testing two-sample
dependent case.

An Example:
A. PROBLEM
A language teacher taught reading to two different classes of the seventh grade in the Junior
High School. She taught descriptive text of a person using Jig Saw Reading Technique. She
wanted to test the effect of such a technique before and after treatment in the students’
reading competency. Therefore, she wanted to test the hypothesis as to whether to accept
or reject it at 0.01 level of significance. After teaching the reading text, she administered a
reading test with 25 multiple choice items.

D. INTERPRETATION
a. There were ten seventh grade students altogether treated before and after with Jig Saw
Reading Technique in the Junior High SchoolWhen compared descriptively, the students’
reading competencies of descriptive text are before treatment = 56.00 and after treatment
= 71.20.
b. When compared statistically, the result shows a significant difference before and after
treatment (α = 0.00; df=18). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was accepted.

E. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Jig Saw Technique was effective in improving the students’ mean reading
competency scores. Therefore, the alternative hypotoses was accepted or the null
hypothesis is rijected.
