...and all the children are above

The results found from all the data that was collected was that American children did worse than the Asian students on the achievement tests. They were randomly selected from each of the three groups which consisted of high, medium and low scorers on a reading test that was given to all of the students in the study. The children were asked to rate how they felt about homework, math, reading and school attendance. Also it was discovered that Asian children put a lot more emphasis on their studies than do American children. Ten schools were chosen from each city, they randomly picked two first grade classes and two fifth grade classes from each school. That means that your findings are valid and they can be repeated.

The researchers did an investigation that focused on three different cities, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Taipei, Taiwan; and Sendai, Japan. Since the investigation that i am about to explain in this chapter isn’t an experiment, reliability and validity play important roles. Reliability is the measure of consistency. American students spend less time in school and more time at home playing.
