CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS
The findings are presented in two main
sections. The first is a brief descriptive report of the demographic
characteristics and the background factors: age of participant, sex, and
reading level, and the themes, categories, and patterns. The second section
focuses on the data concerning the research questions posed at the end of
chapter two.
However, before proceeding with the material outlined above,
evidence of participants having difficulties learning new concept or solving a
given problem and retaining new information when information is not structured,
or arranged in a labeled graphic pattern to help them see the organization
within a text or concept merit mention. Learners' performance when graphic
organizers are not used is illustrated in Table 1 and 2.
