A team of educational psychologists investigated whether watching an online video of a high-school student demonstrating active study techniques (such as using flashcards and self-testing) increases the time spent on self-directed study by Year 7 pupils. One group of pupils watched a 10-minute video of a peer demonstrating active study techniques (the active-model condition), while the other group watched a 10-minute video of a peer reading a textbook passively (the passive control condition). During a subsequent 30-minute study hall session, observers recorded the total number of minutes spent using active study techniques by each pupil.
Give a suitable directional alternative hypothesis for this study.
