Strategy : Make sure that words in a sequence have the same form.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH Research Design One group pre-test and post-test design O1 x O2 It is a custom that a-twice observation is applied here where first is before giving a treatment, and last is held after applying one. It is a pretest and a posttest in which (O1) is pre-test and (O2) is post-test. The X is a treatment. This kind of design is usually applied in preliminary research in order to get the suitable classes for doing an experiment since one of the conditions is having a valid experiment class-an experiment class should at the same level so that it can be judged fair when making comparison. The comparison is made between the experiment class and control class. Again learning technique of selecting the classes is important. How?
