Behavior Problems : Can Character Education Improve it? Action Research Paper By Jacqueline Holzer EDU /Fall 2010

Research Design  Quasi Experimental: Nonequivalent Control Group Design  One single group pretest- posttest design One single group is pretested (O), exposed to treatment (X), and post tested (O)  Symbolic Design: OXO  Groups are not randomly assigned

Possible Threats to Internal Validity  History Being a follower, desire to be accepted, act out to gain attention  Maturation Overtime experience a difficult time & default back to behavior problems, curriculum can become repetitive  Testing/Pre-test Sensitization May not answer honestly can affect results, knowing they are being surveyed may result in temporary behavior change  Differential Selection of Subjects Each child has different personalities & outlooks  Selection-Maturation Interaction Some students mature faster than others

Possible Threats to External Validity  Ecological Validity Different views based on their atmosphere & up-bringing  Pretest Treatment Testing before the treatment may affect results  Selection-Treatment Interaction Upon agreement from family member, students are not given an option of participating  Experimenter Effects Passive elements- some students may respond & engage more than others. Gender can be a threat to response & participation  Reactive Arrangements/Participants Effects Hawthorne Effect- students may change their behavior if they think they are being studied. Present as a way to get to know them.

Pre- Survey & Post-Survey  Same class, one group  One question chosen from pretest & post test Pre-survey question # 4: I have difficulty listening Post-survey question # 4: I have difficulty following directions StudentPre Survey- X Post Survey- Y RXY= There is a positive correlation between the pre-survey, the treatment and the post-survey

Proposed Pre-Survey & Post- Survey Data Students Pre & Post survey response on following directions StudentPre Survey Post Survey

Proposed Pre-Survey Post-Survey Average of Data  Average of each survey question for the pre and post survey: QuestionsAverage of Pre- Survey Average of Post- Survey
