This document discusses different types of hypotheses used in educational research. It defines a hypothesis as a tentative explanation or prediction about the relationship between variables that can be tested. The main types discussed are research hypotheses, null hypotheses, and conceptual models/theoretical frameworks. Research hypotheses propose a relationship between variables, while null hypotheses propose no relationship. Conceptual models and theoretical frameworks provide maps and structures to help understand phenomena being studied. Examples are provided of how a research problem can relate to a research hypothesis and corresponding null hypothesis. Assumptions and how they differ from hypotheses are also explained.

9. OBJECTIVES:
1. Describe and define hypothesis
2. Justify the use of hypothesis
3. Classify hypothesis into various types
4. Explain relationships between variables
5. Differentiate assumptions from hypothesis
6. Make a Conceptual model

10. Hypothesis
Hypothesis - is considered intelligent
guess, or predictions that assist the
researcher in seeking the answer to the
research problem.
‘’What and Why’’
- It is a tentative explanation
- It suggest variable relationship
-derived from theory

13. Null or statistical analysis
is a statement of relationship or difference
that can be tested statistically.
Normally is a statement of no difference or
relationship.
is tested and its acceptance provides
support or no support for the research
hypothesis.

What is the effect of a
seminar workshop on the
attitudes of teachers
toward seminar?
Teachers attitude toward
seminar will improve as
a result of attending a
seminar-workshop.
There is no difference in
teachers attitudes toward
seminar before and after
the workshop.
Is there a relationship
between teachers
attitudes toward the
curriculum and student
achievement?
There is a positive
relationships between
teachers attitude towards
the curriculum and
student achievement.
There is no relationship
between teachers
attitudes toward the
curriculum and student
achievement.
Is there a significant
difference in the
performance of students
expose to three methods
of teaching?
There is a significant
difference in the
performance of student’s
exposed to three
methods of teaching.

The more intelligent a
person is, the more
adaptable he is to new
situations.
Adaptability to new
situations is related to
intelligence .
there is no relationship
in the adaptability of a
person to new situation
with his intelligence
The more exposed one
to mass media, the
higher is ones degree
in political awareness
Exposure to mass
media, increases ones
political awareness
There is no significant
difference in ones
political awareness if
exposed to mass
media

Assumptions
Are statements of what the researcher
believes to be facts but cannot verify.
Is an essential prerequisite to carrying out
some operation or a line of thinking.
It is an important “fact” presumed to be
true but not actually verified (Airasian & Gay,1996)
Assumptions are at the very base of
every research activity.

and that these factors
are sufficiently influential
to at least physically
separate a person from
his family.

18. Conceptual model,
Theories and
Framework-is a set of construct specified in such a way
that their formal co-sections are evident.
-Model is defined as a representation of a
system that is constructed to study some
aspects of that system or the whole system.
-However it is not limited to the physical
world.

19. Conceptual model,
- Also called Paradigms.
-are structures that help presents concepts
in such a way that researchers and other
people can gain useful insights into a
phenomenon.
- Explained by lines that link the boxes and
arrowheads.

20. Theoretical
Framework
-Organizers
- The key ideas that organize and shape
your thinking.
- Should grow logically out of your literature
review.
- Should lead to your methodology and provide a rationale for
why you are proceeding in a particular way.

21. Theoretical
Framework
-Conceptual frameworks attempt to
connect to all aspects of inquiry. (e.g.,problem
definition, purpose, literature review, methodology, data
collection and analysis).
-Conceptual frameworks should act like
maps that give coherence to your inquiry.
