Effects of Classroom

Testing by Microcontroller
Bowen, B.E., & Agnew, D.M.
 Research Title

This study shows the consequences between

the microcomputer instruction and lecture-
discussion in teaching college students.
Hence, there is a limited research about the
effects of microcomputers on learning in the
cognitive, affective and psychomotor
domains.
 Statement of the Problem

The problem statements have the same way of

thinking with the title and seemed to be
instructional content. The challenge was doubted
visible to the average reader. And it required
several readings to begin or create something
that is meant to last for a long time. It was
bounded to the researcher’s capabilities and that
provides something useful.
 Objectives of the Study

The author’s objectives were required to

explain or justify one’s action. And they
chose to acquire them by testing null
hypotheses. These hypotheses were able
to be tested and perform duties and
services to help explain the problem.
Methodology

The treatment act according to the post-

test only control group design.
Consequently, the study was taking part of
reproducing something. Replications were
conducted during a State University course.
A two stage proceeding assignment was
used in assigning groups and treatments
Review of Related Literature

The author cited no clear review of

literature. However, several appropriate
source of information were able to use for
practical purpose in the introduction
section.
 Summary and Conclusion
Summary
There was no summary given.
Conclusions
Conclusions and implications were formulated with the
knowledge that subjects for this study used micro
technology extensively during a computer applications
course. In this investigation, final examination scores
were independent of the method of testing.
 Hypothesis of the Study
Hypothesis one:
A one way analysis of covariance revealed that the two groups were not
worth considering different in terms of their scores on the 35 item final
examination.
Hypothesis two:
The mean attitudinal scores of the two groups were positive in both
replications, and there was no significant difference in the two groups’
attitudes about computers.
Hypothesis three:
There was a sufficient difference in minutes required to complete the exam in
replication one; however, there was no significant difference in replication
two.
Recommendations

The recommendations were limited to a call for

additional research in the area. For the most part,
it was well written and well organized. There was a
definite need for a short review of literature to
develop the situation. The article did get a little
complicated in the reporting of data due to the
complicated statistical procedures used. Overall, it
was a very interesting, significant contribution to
the field of research.
