What is correlation? Give an example. What is the statistic by which it is expressed? What are the outside ranges of this statistic?
What will be an ideal response?
Correlation is the degree of relatedness between two events. That is, two events are correlated when a change in one variable or events leads to an expected change in the second variable or event. An example of two events being correlated is that as people exercise more they tend to drink more fluids. Correlation is measured by the Person Product Moment (r) statistic. The outside limits of this statistic are –1.00 to 1.00.

Jim Grover's eighth graders are engaged in a cooperative learning task. He expected a high level of interest, but the students are restless. Jim's observations are puzzling
In the "wolves" group, Mick and Rick are whispering with their backs to the group. In the "manatees," Ginger is looking out the window, and she is very pale. The "hyenas" are discussing the topic, but keep getting sidetracked in arguments over who came up with the good ideas. Finally, two of the three "otters" who are not absent today are sitting staring at Marty, the third, who keeps standing up and then sitting down, at a rapid pace. Jim's students may have current needs that are getting priority over his learning objectives. Identify four of those needs, based on the students' behavior. Using at least two levels of Maslow's hierarchy, explain how the students’ needs affect their motivation to be on-task in Jim's lesson. For one of Jim's groups, suggest a motivational strategy that would address the problem, and explain why Maslow would expect it to work. What will be an ideal response?
