HYPOTHESIS TESTINGStudents should formulate a null and an alternate hypothesis to betested in their research. They should also explain what data areneeded to test their hypothesis (which questionnairequestion(s)/statements(s) should be used here?), and whichstatistical test (Chi-square or Spearman rank correlation) they woulduse to test their hypothesis. Any important details about thehypothesis testing procedure should also be provided here (e.g. whatlevel of significance would you choose?; how would you identify thecritical value for your test?; etc.) Knowledge andUnderstanding Cognitive skills Transferable Skills5.
