The present findings provide some further support for two of Fiske's hypotheses: the adequacy of a test is a direct function of the structuring of the items and their substantive homogeneity." (Author)

The results of this study show that when no significant differences exist in status attached to the languages of a bilingual, any differences in value systems as expressed in the two languages are slight. (CK)

Teaching today should be more student oriented if students are to learn to inquire, think, and learn autonomously. (CK)

It is suggested that the binomial theorem be used to compute the probability that a given number of Type I errors would occur when a group of null hypotheses are true and that this result be used as the level of significance for the test of an overall hypothesis. (Author/BW)

Presents an activity which encourages hypothesis testing and introduces the study of prehistorical and historical societies. Students formulate a hypothesis about an artifact; then the teacher gradually introduces more information. Students refine their hypotheses and test them against what the artifact was used for. (KC)

Reluctance to use group mean as the unit of analysis is partly due to the belief that fewer observations per treatment greatly reduces the probability of detecting a treatment effect. This is discussed; equations are presented to facilitate power estimates when the group mean is the unit of analysis. (Author/BW)
