Title: Analyze pre-test/post test results

Performance Objective: Given a set of hypothetical pre-test and post test


score, you should be able to analyze the data using paired t-test.

Supplies/Materials : CBLM, Bond papers

Equipment : PC, printer with ink

Steps/Procedure:
1. Acquire a hypothetical data from your trainer.
2. Graph the data using the line graph.
3. Using the analysis tool pak of MS Excel or any other statistical
software, generate the t-test table.
4. Prepare an analysis with the following parts:
a. Interpretation of data
b. Statistical analysis
c. Conclusions
d. recommendations
5. Present your work to your trainer
Assessment Method:
Portfolio
Sample Analysis
Presented below is a hypothetical data of the pretest and posttest scores
which will be the basis of our discussions and example for analyzing the results
of a pretest and post test.

Graph of the Pretest and Post Test Scores

From the pretest and post test scores above, the graph is generated.
The blue line represents the pretest scores of the trainees and the red line
represents posttest scores. Generally, the red line is higher that the blue line
which means that post test scores are generally higher than the pretest scores
although some students did not show an increase in score like in the case of
trainee 15, 16 and 17.
To establish that there is an increase in scores statistically, we test the
null hypothesis “there are no significant differences between the pre and post
test scores” using paired t-test.

Note: An average, say 25 and 26 may obviously be different but may not differ statistically. There
is a need to statistically analyze data, to test whether test scores are statistically different.
Using Excel to analyze data

1. Type your data in excel

To perform paired t-test, select Data


1. Click on the icon Data
Analysis (the dialog box
on Analysis Tools will
appear)
2. Click t-Test: paired Two sample for
means Then click OK
3. Click on the red arrow beside the blank area for Variable 1
Range, select the range of scores for
posttest, then click
on the
arrow again.
4. Click on the red arrow
beside the blank area for
Variable 2 Range, select
the range for pretest
scores, then click on the
red arrow to go back to the
dialog box.
5. On the blank area for
Hypothesized Mean
Difference type 0.
6. Select the output range( or
the range where the table
will appear)
7. Then click OK
