4+Data+Analysis

==//Data Analysis://“In a mixed research study, after you have collected qualitative and/or quantitative data, you will be in a position to analyze the data.” (Johnson & Christensen, 2008). In my study, I will be analyzing both forms of data to help eliminate any weaknesses. First I will send a survey to teachers and parents to gather some information on student’s computer abilities. After determining their computer abilities and abilities on the Lexia S.O.S. games, I will then begin collecting my quantitative data. My main focus is on the quantitative data (test scores from the control as well as experimental group); I want to see if the computer program, Lexia S.O.S, helped to improve comprehension scores among students. I can then compare the experimental and controls groups pretest comprehension results to the posttest comprehension results to see if the CAI was effective or not. ==
