A Quasi-Experimental Study on the Use of SPSS: An Aid to Obtain a Reliable Research Paper Among Grade 12 Senior High School Learners
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research was undertaken to analyse the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software by adopting a quasi-experimental design in determining the substantial difference between the assessment results of both groups-controlled and experimental group. This research was carried out by the researcher to promote the use of the software or any statistical software to ameliorate the computer-skills of the learners as well as to provide an efficient method in the teaching-delivery particularly in teaching Practical Research 2 for the senior high school students. With the use of a quasi-experimental design and having identified the G-12 EIM students as participants for the experiment using purposive sampling, the researcher was able to successfully introduce the treatment to the experimental group. Using McNemar Test, a type of non-parametric tests, results were accurately analysed which revealed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores suggesting that the treatment introduced significantly influenced their scores.
