Levels of task

Example

Identify characteristics of the phase

What percentage of students from the control group performed low in the post-test?

What is the ratio of low performers to high performers for the post-test in the experimental group?

Identify characteristics of the transitions

How many low-scorers in the pre-test within the control group improved to high scores in the post-test?

Is this statement about the experimental group true: “More than half of the high scorers in the pre-test scored high even at the end of the post-test”?

Identify patterns in the transitions

What is the percentage of learners showing the same level of performance in the pre-post-tests within the control group?

Find the ratio of the number of learners whose performance improved to those whose performance deteriorate across the pre- and post-tests within the experimental group.

Compare two SAT diagrams

What is the ratio between transitions from low-high in the control group to the same in the experimental group?

Compare and contrast effects of TPS on high achievers in the control and experimental groups.
