1.Potential correlation research question
Is the number of quizzes correlated to the performance of students in Secondary School X in English language studies?
The above question can be classified as Correlation Research, as it is a study on the relationship between 2 variables:
1. number of quizzes done by students; and
2. the performance of students in English language studies (as measured by the score in year-end final examination).
2. How could data for the correlated variables be collected?
Step 1: Measurement: Assume the score of final examination can measure a student's performance in English language studies.
Step 2: Collect as many samples as possible, to plot a graph with number of quizzes done by students, against the score of final examination.
Step 3: Computation of correlation coefficients: The 2 correlated variables [number of
Quizzes taken, score of final examination] are used to compute the correlation coefficient for each grade. The closer the correlation coefficient to +1, the higher the strength of the relationship between 2 variables.
3. Provide argument how answer to that question can contribute to improvements in some aspect of education/teaching and learning?
If positive correlation (>0.5) is found, school may consider to employ the use of a large number of quizzes to improve the performance of students in English language studies.
