1. A researcher wants to investigate the effect of blended learning on motivation to learn

science. By using SPSS file, there are score obtained before and after the
intervention.
a. State null and alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis :

There is NO significant difference between the mean score motivation before

and after blended learning to learn science.

Alternative hypothesis :

There is a significant difference between the mean motivation before and after
blended learning to learn science.

b. State the assumptions.

The p value for PREMOT is 0.013(p < 0.05), then the distribution of this data is NOT
NORMAL.

The p value for POSTMOT is 0.038(p < 0.05), then the distribution of this data is NOT
NORMAL.
The points of PREMOT form a linear pattern, thus the distribution is NORMAL.

The points of POSTMOT not form a linear pattern, thus the distribution is NOT NORMAL.

A rule of thumb that says a variable is reasonably close to normal if its skewness and kurtosis
have values between -1.0 and +1.0.
Since the p value is 0.012 ( p < 0.05 ), therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected. Hence, there
is a significant difference between the mean motivation before and after blended learning to
learn science.

c. What is your conclusion.

These mean suggest that after having blended learning on motivation, the mean score of
student was higher after the intervention.

There is a significant positive relationship between the PREMOT and POSTMOT score after
the intervention (r = 0.282, p = 0.131)

A paired samples t-test was performed comparing the PREMOT and POSTMOT of the
blended learning to learn science. The result showed that the mean difference is negative (M=
-3.83, SD=7.84). This revealed that there is a significant difference t(29)= -2.677, p < 0.05
between the mean score motivation before and after blended learning to learn science.

Thus, the finding indicated that there is an effect on motivation before and after blended
learning used to learn science.

(Code: PREMOT = before the intervention; POSTMOT = after the intervention)

 2. A researcher wants to investigate the effect of using i-think strategy on interest in
learning science. By using SPSS file, there are score obtained before and after the
intervention.
a. State null and alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis :

There is NO significant difference between the mean score interest before and
after the intervention of using i-think strategy in learning science.

Alternative hypothesis :

There is a significant difference between the mean score interest before and
after the intervention of using i-think strategy in learning science.

b. State the assumptions.

The p value for PREMINAT is 0.023(p < 0.05), then the distribution of this data is NOT
NORMAL.

The p value for POSTMINAT is 0.200(p > 0.05), then the distribution of this data is
NORMAL.
The points of PREMINAT not form a linear pattern, thus the distribution is NOT NORMAL.

The points of POSTMOT form a linear pattern, thus the distribution is NORMAL.
A rule of thumb that says a variable is reasonably close to normal if its skewness and kurtosis
have values between -1.0 and +1.0.

Since the p value is 0.440 ( p > 0.05 ), therefore, the null hypothesis is fail to
rejected. Hence, there is a significant difference between the mean score interest
before and after the intervention of using i-think strategy in learning science.

c. What is your conclusion.

These mean suggest that after using i-think strategy in learning science, the mean score of
student was slightly higher after the intervention.

There is a positive relationship between the PREMINAT and POSTMINAT score after the
intervention (r = 0.205, p = 0.278)

A paired samples t-test was performed comparing the PREMINAT and POSTMINAT of
interest on using i-think strategy in learning science.. The result showed that the mean
difference is negative (M= -1.40, SD=9.80). This revealed that there is a difference t(29)=
-0.782, p < 0.05 between the mean score interest before and after the intervention of using i-
think strategy in learning science.

Thus, the finding indicated that there is no effect on interest before and after of using i-think
strategy in learning science.
