One-Way Unrelated / Uncorrelated Analysis of Variance (Anova)

A teacher wanted to investigate the effectiveness of using 3 different teaching strategies on students' performance in Biology. He divided the students into 3 groups (A, B and C) and administered a pretest. The 3 groups were taught with 3 teaching methods and after 3 weeks were given posttest. You are asked to test the Null Hypothesis that there are no significant differences in the posttest mean scores between the 3 groups.

One-way unrelated / uncorrelated Analysis of variance (ANOVA)


(Dr See Kin Hai) 1. To compare scores (Dep Variable) of 2 or more groups (Indep Variables). 2. To determine if the Independent variable affect the dependent variable. Before you can run this ANOVA it must fulfilled the assumptions below: Assumptions 1. Samples were drawn from a normally distributed population. (Use test for Normality- see Basic 3) 2. Samples are randomly drawn. 3. Data from the sample group is homogenous (having same variance in the population. (Use Levenes test for equality of variances) Example: A science teacher wanted to investigate the effectiveness of using 3 different teaching strategies on students performance in Biology. By using the intact classes he divided the students into 3 groups (A, B and C) and administered a pretest to the 3 groups. The 3 groups were taught with 3 teaching methods and after 3 weeks were given posttest. You are asked to test the Null Hypothesis that there are no significant difference in the posttest mean scores between the 3 groups.

How to run the 1-way unrelated ANOVA 1. Select [Analyze] then [Compare Means] and [One-Way Anova..] to open the dialogue box.

2. Move [Posttest] into [Dependent List] box and [Method] into [Factor] box then click on [Options..] to open the sub-dialogue box.

3 Select [Descriptive] and [Homogeneity of var test] then [Continue] and [OK]

How to interpret the output

This table provides the No of cases (N), the Mean and SD for the 3 methods of teaching

This table shows Levenes test of how similar the variances are. The Levenes test is not significant at p = 0.979 > 0.05, so the variances were similar.

1. This table shows the result of ANOVA. The F-ratio is significant at p < 0.001 F ratio = (between groups mean square)/ (within groups mean square) = 2161.3/40.078= 53.928. 2. This indicates that there is a significant difference between the 3 groups. However, it does not imply that all the means are significantly different. 3. To determine which means are sig different use 1-way multiple-comparison tests.

4 Reporting the output The effect of the teaching methods was significant ( F2,27 = 52.93, p < 0.001). Refer to 1-way multiple comparison test to see which is the best method. COURSEWORK
