A student researcher conducts an experiment that investigates the effects of a new textbook on student achievement. Two intact classrooms are used for
the samples. One classroom is taught with the new textbook and the other is
taught with the traditional textbook. Each sample consists of 30 students.

to an engagement scale. How could this study be improved?
