Improvement in Performance of Achievement Test Scores
By comparing the correlation values of students who were exposed to the new curriculum and those who were not, it is clear that students with the new curriculum outperformed those who did not. Students working with the original curriculum had a mean Achievement Test Score of 1438.775. Meanwhile, students who were exposed to the new curriculum had a mean test score of 1563.751389. Both data sets had a confidence interval of about 6, demonstrating how tight knit the results were. This means that there were very few outliers where performance was significantly different than the others. When regression testing was conducted here, it is clear that the students working with the new curriculum outperformed students who were still working with the original curriculum as seen in the lower R. squared value for students who were exposed to the new curriculum. This suggests that the new curriculum did influence the student's scores in a progressive way, which shows that it is working in achieving its ultimate goal at providing students with better education as measured by the achievement test.
When comparing the student's pretest to the actual achievement test, regression testing was even more successful in showing just how much the new curriculum improved education for the students. When using the pretest as a base, students who were exposed to the new curriculum improved much more on their second attempt at the Achievement Test than students who had not been exposed to the new curriculum. The base scores were relatively similar for both sets of students. When the Achievement Score is then taken into consideration, there was more improvement seen in the group of students who had been exposed to the new curriculum.
Overall, the new curriculum seems to be a strong influence in higher Achievement Test Scores. This suggests that the new curriculum is more effective than the original curriculum in preparing students for the achievement test. Ultimately, the new curriculum provides a stronger educational potential for the students.
