Prompt : In recent years, there has been increased attention on style of teaching within the classroom. The question emerges: should teachers stick to the standard/traditional style of teaching in which the student is a passive learner of information, taking in information as it is delivered or should teachers adopt an experimental/nontraditional style in which the student is thought of as an active part of the learning process, seeking out information and helping to identify their correct educational path. The current research sought to investigate this question further. Researchers investigated the abilities of 4th grade students after they were exposed to either a standard style of teaching or an experimental style of teaching. They were given a pretest before the teaching began and a posttest after its completion. The groups will be compared on the difference between these tests (posttest - pretest). The researchers are interested in a significant difference between the groups at the .05 alpha level. In a brief paragraph, describe your impression of the question. If you had to make an educated guess, based on your own real-life experience, how do you think test results will differ by teaching method? State the null and alternative hypotheses (State these using the variable names; you do not need to use any numbers). Identify the Independent and Dependent variable
