Question

Teachers in a local school district are given a test of computer literacy (scores of 0-100 with 100 being perfect). Then during the school year they have monthly in-service programs designed to improve literacy. Their computer knowledge is assessed again at the end of the school year. Their average pretest score is 40 and their average posttest score is 80. Teachers in a comparable school district aren't given the training but they do get the pretest and posttest. This study uses a _____________ design.

Answer 1

Answer:

nonequivalent control group

Explanation:

A nonequivalent control group refers to a research design in which one of the groups are provided with treatment or in this case computer literacy programs and training while the other comparable group does not receive any treatment which in the given statement is the teachers from the comparable school district. The other comparable group is the control group but the unequal treatment or training makes it a nonequivalent control group design.
