THE STUDY
AREAS STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
Methods
TES has been widely
used by many
researchers.
TES is heavily critiqued on its validity and
reliability.

AREAS STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
Samples, data
collection and
data analysis
The procedures of
the data collection
were in orderly
manner.
1. The hypotheses of the study were not
included.
2. The size samples of the teachers are too small
and not sufficient enough to represent all the
teachers in grade 7 & 8.
3. A month frame can be used by the teacher to
change their behaviour and teaching approach
in class, thus may results in different outcomes
unreliable/ bias research results. For a 13-
item questionnaire, which we can complete in
10-15 minutes, it is unnecessary to give the
respondents a 1 month time frame.) There is a
possibility that the reliability of the data
collected is not reliable enough.
