INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK:
One thing with your research question for the independent one-way ANOVA, we cannot tell impact, just that there is a difference, so how might you just reword your question? What are the scales of measurement for your variables?
Great work with that!
For your ANOVA article, what groups were you comparing?
CLASSMATE #1: Fontalvo, Laura
Part 2. Article: Examining the Use Self-perceived by University Teachers about ICT Resources: Measurement and Comparative Analysis in a One-way ANOVA Design.
-Description: The objective of this study is to examine and compare the use by university teachers of different information and communication technologies resources, in their teaching, evaluation, and research, depending on the branch of knowledge to which staff belong
-Variables/ Scale of measurement:
DV: ICT resources to teach, to evaluate and to research / ordinal
IV: staff area of knowledge / nominal
-Why the type of analysis they used was appropriate.
Researchers used an independent one-way ANOVA to compare if the differences were statistically significant between the four knowledge branches and the mean scores in the use of ICT resources.
Research Question: Are the mean measurements of one’s muscle growth affected by the type of exercise one does each day?
This research question is appropriate for an independent one-way ANOVA because it is analyzing how the type of exercises that are done each day contributed to the amount of potential muscle growth one received to observe if one’s exercise routine may have a significant effect on their muscle growth.
Independent one-way ANOVA IV: The type of exercise done
Independent one-way ANOVA DV: The measurements of muscle growth (measured in inches)
The scale of measurement being used is the Ratio scale.
Null hypothesis: The type of exercise one does has no affect on the mean measurements of one’s muscle growth.
Alternative hypothesis: The type of exercise one does will affect the mean measurements of one’s muscle growth.
Repeated Measures one-way ANOVA:
Research Question: How will drugs A, B, and/or C alter the response times of patients 1-5?
This question is appropriate for repeated measures one-way ANOVA because 5 people will be assessed in regards to how each drug respectively affects their response time.
Repeated Measures one-way ANOVA IV: The type of drug that is taken by each patient respectively.
Repeated Measures one-way ANOVA DV: The measurements of the response times of the patients.
The scale of measurement being used is the Ratio scale.
Null hypothesis: Drugs A, B, and/or C will not affect the response times of patients 1-5.
Alternative hypothesis: Drugs A, B, and/or C will affect the response times of patients 1-5.
