As school psycologist in a classsroom setting, my focus is to determne the effect that five teaching
styles have on three types of learning activities. This being the case, in this scenario, the independent
variables comprise of five different sections pertaining to five different styles of teaching offering a
comparison and correlation with three different types of learning activities (Group A, B and C).
The treatment group will address two sample populations for each style of teaching.
This method entails utilization of the (f) test "which is the mean square for each main effect and
the interaction effect divided by the within variance." (Argosy, 2010).

Assignment questions completed:
The independent variables are the five different sections (five different Teaching Styles 1 thru 5 inclusively.)
Whereas, the dependent variables are the three different groups of Learning Activity (Groups A, B, and C)
Measurement instrument: is utilization of a Two-way ANOVA via SPSS methodology,charts, and graphics.
An appropriate null hypothesis would state there are no significant statistical differences from any events,
occurrences, or chances between the five different styles of teaching and the three different groups of
learning activities. (Groups A, B, and C) Whereas, the experimental hypothesis demonstrates significant
differences between (Style /2) with low test scores at 95 in reference to the effects measured by utilizing Teaching Style (2) ve

The (f) values using the above chart raw data are as follows:
1) Teaching = 12.393 (Large (f) value and very significant based on .05 Sig level
2) Activity = 28.283 (Large (f) value and also very significant based on .05 Sig level for three Groups of Learning Activities A,

(f) values are best defined as "the mean square for each main effect and the interaction effect divided by the within variance" (
