Question 1
Educational Psychology aims at understanding how people learn. One of the ways to
understand how people learn is to evaluate their learning, thinking and behaviour. Two
school teachers (Teacher A and Teacher B) used two different methodologies to conduct
research involving Grade 5 learners.
Teacher A
Teacher A conducted a study involving 200 respondents, using a research instrument
with a scale to measure students’ behaviours. Table 1 is the scale the teacher used to
collect data; and Table 2 shows how data were analysed.
