  1. By: Noah St.Onge-Colwell Personal Electronic Devices in school!

  2. Population? • The population I decided to go with was students from FHS. I decided to pick four students from each grade and also four teachers. I choose to do this because it would be extremely hard to survey every student and teacher. This way I got a feeling of how students and teachers feel on a small scale.

  3. Sampling Technique • The sampling technique I used was a blend of different ones including Stratified Random (4 students from each grade as well as 4 teachers). I also used Systematic, I went to the 5th student or teacher that I knew in each grade.

  4. Survey Questions! • Do you own an iPod, MP3 player, cell phone, pager, etc? Yes or No? • On a scale of 1-4 (1 being not strict at all) (4 being extremely strict). How strict are teachers on taking away your electronic devices if it is seen? • Do you think that electronic devices should be allowed in class time; If you are not disrupting anyone else? Yes or No? • How many times have you had an electronic device taken away, or taken one away? • Never B) 1-4 times C) 5-8 times D) 9 or more times

  5. Survey Results for #1 • 19 people answered Yes • 1 person answered No

  6. Survey Results for #2 • 1- 3 people • 2- 4 people • 3- 5 people • 4- 8 people

  7. Survey Results for #3

  8. Survey Results for #4

  9. Possible Bias • Some possible bias that could have occurred during my survey are... I only asked people I knew which left out a major population of the school. While trying to survey students and teachers I asked more students than teachers, I asked 4 from each grade and 4 teachers. I asked more males than females 13:7 ratio and that could be possible bias.

  10. Organization of data • For question 1 the mode is 19. • For question 2 the median is 3, Range is 5. • For question 3 the mode is 11. • For question 4 the mean is 1.8, median is 0, mode is 12. The standard deviation is 2.94.

  11. Noah’s Final Thought! After concluding this survey I learned that almost everyone owns a personal electronic device, They think that teachers are to strict about not being allowed to use them, They should not be used in class and a lot of people never have had there devices taken away or taken any away. The result that surprised me the most was that 11:20 people think that personal electronic devices should not be allowed in class. The result that didn’t surprise me was that 19:20 people own an personal electronic device.

  12. What would I change? • If I could I would take more time and try to ask more students. I would make this a census and ask everyone that goes to FHS. I would eliminate all possible bias and make easier questions. I would use more quantitative data.
