CHAPTER-III
DESIGN OF THE STUDY
Teaching is to research what Method is to teaching or in a sense what logic
is to thinking.
- Rusk
The main objective of the study is to ascertain the interactional effects
and the main effect of Advance Organizer Model (AOM), Biological Science
Inquiry Model (BSIM) and Traditional Method (TM) on the academic
achievement of students with regard to their Intelligence and Socio-
Economic Status (SES). In order to accomplish this, the experimental
method has been employed. The present chapter deals with the methodology
and procedure adopted to conduct the experiment to study the interactional
effects is that may be described to the combination of variables above and
beyond that which can be predicated from the variable considered singly.
III.1. METHODS OF THE STUDY :-
Experimentation is an attempt to control all essential factors except a
single variable which is manipulated of changed with a view to determining
and measuring the effects of its operation. In experimental studies the crucial
aspect is the rigor with which the attack is designed desired towards the
testing of hypotheses. It requires the development of a hypothesis suitable
research design or specification of operation for testing of a hypothesis under
given set of conditions. In an experimental approach the condition or
element which is being evaluated is referred to as the independent are called
dependent variable. In the present study the achievement of students
attributable the criterion test was considered as a dependent variable and
64
level of Intelligence and Socio-Economic Status (S.E.S.) were taken as
independent variables. Three teaching methods Advance Organizer Model
(AOM), Biological Science Inquiry Model (BSIM) and Traditional Method
(TM) were the primary independent variable.
III.2. POPULATION :-
A population may be defined as the totality of particular
characteristics for any specified groups of individuals or objectives i.e. a
population of art graduates, a population of science graduates, a population
of science teachers, a population of art teachers, a population of medical
graduates, a population of medical books in library a population of university
teachers and a population of trained teachers etc. Usually this selection is
based on the some rule or plan.
In the present study, all the IX grade students of English medium
schools recognized by C.B.S.E. Board, New Delhi situated in Bhiwani
district have been selected to constitute the population.
III.3. SAMPLE OF THE STUDY :-
The main criterion of a spirit sample is that it should be the
representative of the target population because it is not possible to measure
the population. The population in a statistical research is arbitrarily defined
by naming its unique properties.
In this research, a sample of 240 students (120 Male & 120 Female) of
science stream from ten co-educational English medium schools affiliated to
C.B.S.E. Board of Bhiwani District have been taken by selecting randomly
from these schools. School-wise distribution of the students is given below
in the following Table No.-T.III.1 .

A. INTELLIGENCE TEST :-
To ascertain the variable as High and Low Intelligence groups in the
present experimental study an Intelligence test was administered on the
selected students. The sample was taken by the stratified random sampling
method. A Group Test of General Mental Ability–72, developed by S. Jalota
(ANNEXURE-I) was used in this study.
Description of the Scale :-
The need of a group test of mental ability decided to prepare such a
test as could be given to a group of student in an average school. In this test
there are only 100 items and maximum time for solving it is only 20
minutes. The classification of the items is given below-

Reliability :-
The reliability of the test as given in the manual is +0.938.
Validity :-
The validity of the test as given in the manual, with correlating the
common criteria school examination marks, Ranged from +0.50 to +0.78.
Scoring:-
The wrong and left out questions are crossed out and then the number
of correct answers is counted which is known as raw scores. Here one mark
is allotted for one correct response and no marks are deducted for wrong
answer. The student gets maximum 100 marks in this test.
B. SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS :-
To ascertain the High and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) in the
present experimental study a Socio-Economic Status (SES) test, developed
by Dr. Beena Shah has been used (ANNEXURE – II). A brief introduction
of this test is given below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SCALE :-
A living human being is so obviously as an active biological organism,
that we often overlook the influence of his mental functions in guiding or
directing the physical activities. In the past, many thinkers have tempted at a
times, to treat the mental as an irrelevant by product or they have shown but
limited respect for its obvious weaknesses, as its guidance or direction are
easily weighed down by the energy of physical needs. On the other hand, a
number of other eminent thinkers have tried to minimize the facts of physical
processes and gave the supremacy of the mental, as theirto and the
representative of the spirit. There is however a cautious third group, which
seems to follow the middle path; they seem to find some reason to accept the
role of both kinds of views for the fuller approval and proper understanding
of certain common experiences and events of every day living.
The psychologist tries to probe the function of Intelligence in different
types of tasks, and to see an individuals’ efficiency of performance in them,
to arrive at a reasonable estimate of his mental ability. The use of different
sub-test was eminently suited to such a task. We could easily assess the level
of ability in tasks like following directions, classification, analogies, number
series, etc. Also, we could then easily discover the character of their inter-
relations through suitable analytic procedures of correlations, factor analysis
etc. Hence, this prospect of using subtests has proved attractive to some
scholars. But all these purposes can also be met equally well by the use of
70
compilation type tests, with the aid of suitable element analysis keys. Indeed,
this is the procedure commonly used with the scientific analysis of
personality questionnaires.

IXth 19.61 21.57 41.18 17.64
VIIIth 10.17 21.43 35.71 22.14
Again in the case of item 18 (similar) the right response is No.1, and
the wrong alternatives were scored as follows (in percentage) –
TABLE No. – T.III.3
Showing for Item 18 (similar) % age of Responses to Alternative
Class 1 2 3 4
Xth 18.26 41.31 18.26 20.12
IXth 5.77 46.15 32.66 15.38
VIIIth 3.70 44.45 25.93 25.93
When we compare the responses of the girls and boys, to the above
two items, we get the following results (in percent scores)-
TABLE No. – T.III.4
Comparing Responses by Girls and Boys
Item – 10 Item – 18
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Girls 11.32 30.97 11.32 45.29 15.10 51.84 9.44 22.65
Boys 1.96 60.79 25.49 11.77 22.00 32.00 28.00 18.00
71
It is evident from the above that the various responses to the items
are often very different for the different sex or educational groups. The
procedure of item-difficult assessment is primarily concerned with the
proportions of success failures only. If the proportion of success among
the items of a test-element is arranged in a descending order for each class,
then we can obtain the ascending orders of difficulty in each group and
select the required item.

Later, all the items were arranged according to their order of
increasing difficulty and we selected ten each for similar. Opposites, best
answer and reasoning, as well as twenty each for the test-elements of
classification, number series, and analogies, for our first empirical study
(1971). This followed the pattern of our first test decided upon in 1951. To
confirm the aforesaid hopes in a strong and ready manner, the total-scores
for the various test elements, in the different classes, were processed for
finding the Means and Standard Deviations. We find that there is an overlap
of M + SD scores of the VIII and the Means of the next higher class, the IX
class, this pattern is repeated with the result of the IX and X classes.

For additional confirmation the order of difficulty for the different
classes were correlated for verbal test-element of similars. To be further
assumed, a similar study was carried out with the test-element of reasoning.
We find from Table No. – T.III.7 that in our sample the correlation between
VIII and X is higher than that between VIII and X. However, the Correlation
74
between the two orders of difficulty for IX and X is the highest. The same
pattern is repeated in Table No. – T.III.8; but the correlations are medium-
high, while in the former these are uniformly high. The processes of
“reasoning” are ex hypothesis more complex than those of ‘similars’. This
may be due to the fact that the complex processes obtain a larger range of
variation among the junior classes, and there are some what lower inter
corelations among the different classes.

We find the correlation fall within the range or .510 to .549 for the
verbal tasks, and from .606 to .860 for the reasoning tasks. The correlation
between the total scores for V and R was .695. Hence, we conclude that
there was a possible common element among the V-task, and another among
the R-task, and also, that there was one element with medium weight
common to the total performances of the V and R tasks.

(C). ACHIEVEMENT TEST :-
In the present study, Researcher has been developed and standardized
properely three achievement tests on topic “Cell and Tissues” for IX grade
students. These achievements tests have to be used to measure the
knowledge of related subject (Biology) before and after the proper treatment.
The items taken in the Achievement test were based on the topics taught by
the researcher during the treatment. Achievement scores of selected students
in Biology have been taken with the help of achievement test (ANNEXURE
– III).
(D). ADVANCE ORGANIZER MODEL (AOM) :-
According to Ausubel whether or not material is meaningful depends
more on the preparation of the learner and on the organization of the material
than it does on the methods of presentation. If the learner beings with the
right ‘set’ and if the material is solidly organized, then meaningful learning
can occur.
Advance Organizers are the primary means of strengthening cognitive
structure and enhancing retention of new information. Ausubel describes
Advance Organizers as introductory material presented ahead of the learning
task and at a higher level of abstraction and indusiveness than the learning
task itself. Their purpose is to explain, integrate and inter-relate the material
in the learning task with the previously learned material (and also to help the
learner discriminate the new material from previously learned material).
According to Ausubel “The Advance Organizer Model (AOM) also
presented at a higher level of abstraction generality and inclusiveness; and
since the substantive content of a given organizers or series of organizers is
selected on the basis of its suitability for explaining, integrating and
interrelating the material they precede this strategy. Simultaneously satisfies
76
the substantive as well as the programming criteria for enhancing the
organization strength of cognitive structure.”
Advance Organizer is used in good “Transmission” teaching e.g.
direct instruction. Such teaching is different from simple rote learning since
learners are encouraged to relate new knowledge to old knowledge (what
they already know). “Advance Organizer provide the necessary scaffolding
for students to either learn new and unfamiliar material (an expository
organizer which provides the basic concept at the highest level of
generalization) of integrate new ideas into relatively familiar ideas (a
comparative organizer which compares and contrasts old and new ideas).
According to Mayer “An Advance Organizers Information that is
presented prior to learning and that can be used by the learner to organize
and interpret new incoming information.
Ausubel contends that these organizing ideas which may be single
concepts or statements of relationship are themselves important content and
should be taught because they serve to organize everything that follows.
Advance Organizers are based on mazor concepts, generalizations, principles
and lavels of academic disciplines. By keeping the principles of Advance
Organizers Model in mind, Researcher has also been developed the lesson
plans on the selected topic “Celle and Tissues” in subject Biology for
providing the sufficient treatment to the selected students of English medium
(ANNEXURE – IV).
(E). BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE INQUIRY MODEL (BSIM) :-
Biological Science Inquiry Model (BSIM) is an inductive and learners
centered approaches of teaching based on Biological Science propounded by
J. Schwab (1965) to teach scientific knowledge and to develop interest in
scientific inquiry. Not only can the nature of science but process of research
in Biology also be introduced to students. They can also learn planning and
77
execution of projects and self learning involving acquisition of knowledge
through observation of phenomena, creative thinking and activities. The
Biological Science Inquiry Model includes a number of activities which are
grouped into four phases.
START
Phase – I Area of investigation is posed to students
Phase – II Students structure the problem
Phase – III Students identify the problem in the investigation
Phase – IV Students speculate on ways to clear up the difficulty
START
(Fig.- 8:- Flow chart of Inquiry Process in BSIM)
In the first phase, an area of investigation is posed to the students that
include methodology used in the investigation. In the second phase, students
structure the problem so that they become aware of problem in the
investigation. However, difficulty may be one of data interpretation, data
generation, the control of experiments of making inferences etc. In the third
phase, students speculate about the problem and identify the difficulty
involved in the inquiry. In the last and fourth phase, students search ways to
clear up the difficulty by designing experiments, collecting data, organizing
data in different ways and finding the results. By keeping the different
phases of Biological Science Inquiry Model in mind, Researcher has also
been developed the lesson plans on the selected topic “Celle and Tissues” in
78
subject Biology for providing the sufficient treatment to the selected students
of English medium (ANNEXURE – V).
III.5. PROCEDURE OF THE STUDY :-
A sample of 240 (120 Male & 120 Female) science stream students of
class IX with the mean age of 14 years (13-15 yrs) has been selected through
random sampling from the population. These selected students have divided
into two groups on the basis of their Intelligence (High & Low). Again these
groups were divided into two group of students each on the basis of their
SES (High SES & Low SES). At last for preparing Experimental & Control
groups, students of High & Low SES have also been divided into three
groups of 20 students each. After the proper categorization of the students,
appropriate treatment with the help of Advance Organizer Model (AOM),
Biological Science Inquary Model (BSIM) & Traditional Method (TM) has
been given to them. After the completion of the treatment an Achievements
test have been applied to know the achievements of student on particular
topics. On the basis of achievements scores and other related scores of
Independent variables, Effectiveness of the Teaching Methods (AOM, BSIM
& TM) have been calculated with the help of suitable statistics.
III.6. DESIGN OF THE STUDY :-
The selection of a design is partly dependent upon the researcher’s decision
regarding whether he is going to use one or more than one group of subjects in the
proposed experiment. If researcher decides that there will be only one group of
subjects who will be tested under different values or conditions or treatments of
the independent variable, the resulting experimental design is known as the within-
groups design or repeated treatment designs. If, on the other hand, the researcher
decides to use a separate group for each value of the independent variable, the
resulting designs are also known as between-groups design. A schematic
presentation of research design i.e. experimental deign is given in the following
figure-
79
(Fig.-9:- Experimental Designs)
The present study will be conducted through experimental method. It will
be based on 2 x 2 x 3 factorial design. When more than one independent variable is
considered in an experimental study a factorial design is usually employed. Thus,
in the present study three independent variables – Instructional Method,
Intelligence and Socio-Economic Status will be used and 2 x 2 x 3 factorial design
refers more to the assignment of subjects to group to the measurement employed
and to the statistical analysis techniques than to what is done in subjects. In the
present research the instructional methods Advance Organizer Model (AOM),
Biological Science Inquiry Model (BSIM) and Traditional Methods (TM) was the
primarily independent variable. The test of Intelligence and Socio-Economic
Status was the other secondary independent variables. The main objective was to
ascertain the interectional effects between the independent variable – primary and
secondary and dependent variable of criterion variable.

III.7. STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES USED :-
To analyze the collected data from the students of class IX of English
Medium Schools of Bhiwani District in Hariyana State, with reference to the
specific objectives and hypothesis, the following stastistical techniques have
been used.
(i). Mean
(ii). Standard Deviation (S.D.)
(iii). CR/“t” Value
(iv). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
(i). MEAN :- " The mean is the sum of the individual scores or measures
divided by their number.”
∑ X = Sum of Individual Scores M = Mean N = Number of Scores
(ii). STANDARD DEVIATION: -
The Standard Deviation is the square root of the arithmetic average of
the squared deviations of various values from their arithmetic mean.
Standard Deviation (S.D.) of any series can be calculated from the
following formula -
SD = Standard Deviation. I = Class Interval ∑fd2 = Sum of the product the frequencies and square of
deviation from assumed mean. ∑fd = Sum of the product of frequencies and deviation from
assumed mean. N = Number of Scores.
82
(iii). CR/t VALUE:-
CR value is a critical ratio in which a more exact estimate of the σd is
used t is a CR but all CR’s are not ‘t’s. The sampling distribution of ‘t’ is not
normal when N is smaller than 30.
M1 = Mean of the first group.
M2 = Mean of the second group.
SD1 2 = Square of SD of the first group.
SD2 2 = Square of SD of the second group.
N1 = Size of the first group.
N2 = Size of the second group.
(iv). ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA) :-
The weighted average of simple effect for all levels of the control
variable is known as the ‘main’ effects of the treatments. ‘Simple’ effect may
be interpreted as the treatment effect for a given level of independent
variable. In simple words, the main effects of factious are the mean squares
for the levels of factors.
In addition to the main effects of the three factors, there is a possibility
that there are interactions between the factors. “Interaction is a measure of
the non-additively of the main effects.” The significance of ‘F’ test is
determined by reference to Seducer’s table. In using this table, we have to
consider the two different df values. For the numerator of the ‘F’ we look for
the df at the left of a row. Three way of analysis of variance (ANOVA)
technique was used to study the main effects and interaction effects.

MEASURES OF ANOVA:
The present study was conducted on the Model of factorial design for
analyzing the main effects of three factors-Instructional Methods,
Intelligence test, and Socio-Economic Status (SES). The ‘F’ test was applied
for analyzing the main effects of these three facts. The weightage average of
simple effects for all levels of the control variable is known as ‘Main’ effects
84
of treatment. ‘Simple’ may be interpreted as the treatment effect for a given
level of independent variable. Thus, the main effects of factors are the mean
square for the level of factors.
