Table 6.08: Question 8 – Paper-Based Pretest <strong>and</strong> Posttest Score Comparison<br />

Student#<br />

Student Code.<br />

Q8 (Pretest score,<br />

worth 15 points)<br />

Interpretation (Question 8): Students’ average score for this question was 2.83 in<br />

the pretest <strong>and</strong> 12.51 in the posttest. This means that on an average, the students<br />

scored very poorly (18.86%) on this question in the pretest. But the average score<br />

improved significantly to 83.4% in the posttest. The st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation of the<br />

scores was 2.53 <strong>and</strong> 3.17 in the pretest <strong>and</strong> posttest, respectively. This means that<br />

the deviation in the scores from the average actually increased from the pretest to<br />

the posttest. This is because student JL711S2 scored zero on this question in both<br />

the pretest <strong>and</strong> posttest, whereas the others improved significantly in the posttest.<br />
