WHICH GROUP YOU ARE BELONG TO?

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- SPECULATING A RELATIONSHIP
■ To determine whether there is a significant
relationship between variable A and variable
B
■ Example: To determine whether there is a
significant relationship between Attitude and
Achievement
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- CONFIRMING THE FACTOR/
FACTORS
■ One predictor- To determine whether variable A
is a significant predictor to variable B
■ One predictor- To determine whether variable A
significantly influence variable B
■ Example: To determine whether achievement is
a significant predictor of achievement
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- CONFIRMING THE FACTOR/
FACTORS
■ Combine two predictors- To determine
whether the combination of variable A and
variable B significantly influence variable C
■ Example: To determine whether achievement
and thinking skills significantly influence
attitude
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- COMPARING GROUPS
■ Two groups: To compare whether there is a significant
different on achievement (Dependent Variable) between
male and female students (Independent Variable)
■ Three groups: To compare whether there is a
significant different on achievement (Dependent
Variable) between high, moderate and low ability
students (Independent Variable)
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT
■ To determine whether there is a significant
different on achievement (Dependent Variable)
between student who followed Cooperative
teaching method and conventional teaching
method (Independent Variable)
■ OR
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT
■ To determine whether Cooperative teaching
method (Independent Variable) significantly
increase the achievement of students (Dependent
Variable)
■ OR
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT
■ To determine whether Cooperative teaching
method (Independent Variable) significantly give
effect on the achievement of students
(Dependent Variable)
■ OR
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT
■ To compare the effect of Cooperative teaching
method and Convention method on achievement
of students
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT (ONE GROUP
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN)
■ To determine whether there is a significant
different between the mean score of pretest and
post test of the achievement of the students who
followed Fiipped Classroom
■ OR
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT (ONE GROUP
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN)
■ To determine whether there is a significant
change between the mean score of pretest and
post test of the achievement of the students who
followed Fliipped Classroom
■ OR
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
- DETERMINING THE EFFECT (ONE GROUP
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN)
■ To determine whether Flipped Classroom is
effective in enhancing the achievement of the
students

QUESTIONS
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
- SPECULATING A RELATIONSHIP
■ Is there any significant relationship between
variable A and variable B?
■ Example: Is there any significant
relationship between Attitude and
Achievement?
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
- CONFIRMING THE FACTOR/
FACTORS
■ One predictor- Is variable A is a significant
predictor of variable B?
■ One predictor- Does variable A significantly
influence variable B?
■ Example:
