Question 4

Dr Aris is investigating the impact of dual-coding theory on the recall of GCSE History facts.

He recruits two groups of GCSE History students:

  • Group X: 25 students who studied using a dual-coding method (text paired with diagrams).
  • Group Y: 25 students who studied using text-only revision notes.

After a 15-minute study session, Dr Aris tested all students on a list of 15 historical facts. A score of 10 or above was classified as 'excellent recall'.

Dr Aris's results are shown in Table 1 below.

Group Y: Text-only817

Draw a bar chart to display the number of students in each group who achieved excellent recall using the data from Table 1.
