Experimental Research Question : The effectiveness of using Tablet PC in classroom teaching to improve the learning quality of students
Topic:The effectiveness of using Tablet PC in classroom teaching to improve the learning quality of students.
Why this is an experimental research?
This research is trying to test the effectiveness of increasing the learning quality of students by using tablet PC as a major media for teaching in classroom.Hypotheses:1. There is a significant of improvement of learning quality of student after using Tablet PC.
2. There is a significant improvement of teaching quality of teacher after using Tablet PC.
How can data for the experimental variables be collected?
Participants:
2 classes of primary school students have been selected from a primary school. Both genders are equally allocated in both classes.
Period:
1 semester
Procedure:
One class are use traditional teaching method while another class will use Tablet PC as the major teaching and learning equipment. Both groups will be given the same assignments and having the same examination. Their scores of the assignments and examination will be used as the major data for statistical analysis.
Observation will be conducted during twice for both classes for collecting their learning atmosphere etc. A follow up simple interview will be conducted after the observation.
At the end of the semester, an in-depth questionnaire and intensive interviews will be conducted to collect more the student’s confidence on the examination and doing their assignments etc.
All the data from the above measurement will be used for statistical analysis and comparison.
How this study can contribute to improvements in some aspect of education/teaching and learning?
The study can find out the impact and significance of introducing new technology to teaching in school by comparing their learning attitude and results from the students’ assignments and examination. As a result, educator can consider more carefully on how to use appropriate method and technology to motivate the studying and learning environment as well as the techniques of teachers in school.

Experimental Research Question : The effect of body trims treatments on over-weighted students’ self-confidence
Topic:
The effect of body trims treatments on over-weighted students’ self-confidence.
The effect of body trims treatments on over-weighted students’ self-confidence.
Why this is an experimental research?
This research is to study whether there is a significant increase in self-confidence after the body trims treatments.
Hypotheses:
1. There is a significant increase in personal self-confidence after the body trims treatments.
2. The effect will be more pronounced for female students than male students.
How can data for the experimental variables be collected?
60 primary school students, equally split between males and females were randomly assigned by homeroom class to either the intervention (have body trim treatment) group or a comparison (no body trim treatment) group. After the 6 months intervention, the two groups will be compared for their self-confidence using data collected from both interviews and questionnaires. Results of the interviews and questionnaires will be converted into scores by statistical analysis.
How this study can contribute to improvements in some aspect of education/teaching and learning?
If the study proves that there is a significant increase in self-confidence between the intervention group and the comparison group, parents should consider the necessity to maintain a healthy body for their over-weighted children. More care should be taken to control the diet of their children.
Further study would be to look at whether a self-confidence’s children can demonstrate well in school activities.
