Research Question:
Does chewing the same gum while studying and taking the test help with memorization skills for the test?
Hypothesis:
Chewing the same gum while studying and taking the test benefits to the memorization skills of the person during the test.
Research Method:
I would use and experiment for my research method. I chose this method because I would be controlling whether the person uses gum or not. I would choose 50 random students in the Anatomy & Physiology course at Montana Tech. 25 of them would not use gum at all in both studying and during the test. The other 25 would be given instructions on what kind of gum to be chewing while studying for the test and while taking the test. After the test has been taken, I would compare the 25 students that didn't chew gum test score's to the 25 students who did chew gum test score's. This would give me the results needed, whether chewing gum helps on a test or doesn't effect it.
Research Design
I would be using experimental design. I chose a random group of participants that some will be chewing gum and some will be not.
Keeley, I am interested in this research project because I had a teacher in high school tell me, "however you study is how you should take your test, If you study drunk- take the test drunk". I think chewing the gum is along the same lines as that statement. Ever since I heard that, I have been curious if this is true or not. If it is true, researches can help college students raise test scores by doing the simplest thing; chew gum while studying and while taking the test!
