3b+Data+Analysis

Data Analysis To start off my research I plan to use qualitative data. Based on open-ended questions about my subjects experience on the computer that I will send home to my parents, I will choose a program that I think will benefit my students. I will proceed to use the most current Lexia scores as my pre-test. I plan to use the one-way ANOVA to compare the pretest and posttest scores to determine if there was an improvement in scores. I will use the SPSS program to determine if there is significance in my data. I will base the significance of .05 as Johnson and Christensen used in many examples. My null hypothesis would be Web 2.0 applications cannot support the effectiveness in teaching reading to K-12 students. The alternative hypothesis is Web 2.0 applications can support the effectiveness in teaching reading to K-12 students. I would like to divide my students into high achievers, average achievers, and low achievers and determine if there is significance in this data also. Determining if there is significance and who the program benefits is the most important factor in my research. Johnson, B., & Christensen, L. (2007).
