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.

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.
