Unawareness-learner has incomplete/inaccurate info.
Awareness-correct info is obtained but lacks personal meaning.
Self-interest-learner personalizes info.
Involvement-learner motivated to act.
Action-learner tests new concepts.
Habit- learner begins to experience gratification and self-satisfaction.

50
Q

Must be continuous from the beginning of the program.

A

Evaluation

51
Q

Summative Evaluation

A

outcome evaluation; measures impact of program.

52
Q

Formative Evaluation

A

Conducted during the program.

53
Q

Outcome of interest; should change in response to intervention.

A

Dependent Variable.

54
Q

The intervention; what is being manipulated.

A

Independent Variable.

55
Q

Data Matrix

A

Arranges data scores from lowest to highest measures utilizing the statistics supplied above.

56
Q

Measures how often each score occurs.

A

Frequency of Distribution.

57
Q

Frequency of distribution is plotted on an x-y graph resulting in a pictorial representation of the data.

A

Measures of Central Tendency.

58
Q

When data is plotted using a normal curve, what is all equal?

A

Mean, median, and Mode.

59
Q

Most commonly used method of dispersion in oral hygiene research and reflects the range within the data matrix.

A

Standard Deviation; represents the square root of the sample variance.

60
Q

Positive Skew

A

When more scores fall in the lower range, the curve will have a positive skew. “Tail” goes to the right.

61
Q

When more scores fall in the higher range, the curve will have a negative skew. “Tail” goes to the left.

A

Negative Skew

62
Q

Validity

A

Degree that a study measures the variable it is designed to measure.

63
Q

Reliability

Q

T-test

A

Statistical hypothesis test used when comparing the statistical difference between TWO mean scores.

65
Q

P-value

A

Probability value. Used when testing hypothesis, refers to the probability that a condition would happen by chance, a p-value of greater than 0.05 will negatively affect study results.

66
Q

Q

The score on one scale predicts an opposite score on the other scale.

A

Negative correlation

68
