1. Types of hypotheses-
a. Inductive is a generalization based on specific observations.
B. Deductive is derived from theory and provides evidence that supports, expands, or contradicts the theory.
C. Non-directional - states that relation or difference between variables exists (e.g., 10th graders who get multimedia instructions do better than those who receive regular instruction only).
D. Directional - states the expected direction of the relation or difference. (e.g., 10th graders do better in mathematics using interactive multimedia than the once that don't.)
e. Null - states that there is no significant relation or difference between variables. (e.g., 10th graders bio students do as good using classical teaching as using multimedia).
