What Are My Thoughts (Hypothesis)

What Are My Thoughts (Hypothesis)

Are Tests The Best Way?

OR

I Believe that most people will say no I don’t think tests are the best way to see if someone has improved because when someone gets nervous or is in a different mood their results will change.

Hmmmmm… I agree

Variables (what made the test fair)

• At least survey more than 3 people of each gender

• The survey was taken on the same day

• Age (10-12)

• Survey more than 3 of each gender

• Ask them these questions

1.How old are you?

2.Do you think tests are the best way to see if someone has improved at a certain subject?

3.If you said yes please answer the questions on 4 if you said no please answer the questions on 5

(4) Why did you answer yes• Because there aren’t any different ways• Because all the other ways don’t work• Because we have always used tests for the past

years• I don’t know• Other

(5) Why did you say no? What do you think is the best way ? Please explain___________________

Now record the results of the survey and analyze. Include pictures related to the subject, put the different parts of information into different slides.

All the people that answered no tests are not the best way to see if someone has improved at a certain subject said that the best way to see if someone had improved was to see how they behave in class

Reason peopl e sai d yes

I don’ t know

No other waysways

My hypothesis was partially correct because I said that most people would say that tests are not the best way to see if someone has improved at a certain subject because if someone gets nervous or moody while doing a test their test results will change. My hypothesis was partially correct because 4 people said no and 4 people said yes.

Most people spend months to years preparing for tests and this leads to stress and when some people are studying they may study until night which will affect their health. This proves tests may not be necessary and that we should think of different that could replace tests.

Variables

1. At least 3 of each gender

2. Survey should be taken on the same day

3. Age(10-12)

The test was valid because it was taken on the same day, there were 4 people of each gender( more than 3 which is better) and everyone surveyed was 10-12.

The test could have been improved if 40 people or more were surveyed and if the age limit wasn’t so strict.

A similar question that could be investigated would be

SHOULD WE HAVE SOMEHTING REPLACE TESTS?
