Solomon Four-Group Diagram:


The Solomon Four-Group Designs involves four experimental groups:
1. Pre-test and Post-test with the intervention (Group A)
2. Pre-test and Post-tests without the intervention (Group B)
3. No Pre-test but Post-test with the intervention (Group C)
4. No Pre-tests but Post-test without the intervention (Group D)

Planning Phases  Define Research Objectives and Hypothesis Researchers
 Identify Target Participants
 Select study Locations
Participant Selection Randomly assign participants to four groups Researchers
 Group A: Pre-test and Post-test with the
intervention (Ethical Dilemma Stories)
 Group B: Pre-test and Post-tests without the
intervention
 Group C: No Pre-test but Post-test with the
intervention (Nature Literacy)
 Group D: No Pre-tests but Post-test without the
intervention
Data Collection  Administer Pretest Environmental Researchers
Responsibility Questionnaire to Group A and
Group B
 Implement the interventions as follows:
 Group A: Ethical Dilemma Stories
 Group C: Nature Literacy
 Collect data on participant responses and
attitudes during the interventions
Posttest Phase  Administer Posttest Environmental Researchers
Responsibility Questionnaire to all groups.
 Collect post-intervention data on participant
responses and attitudes.
Data Analysis  Analyze pretest and posttest data using Researchers
appropriate statistical methods (e.g., ANOVA, t-
test) to compare groups and measure the
intervention effects.
Results and reporting  Prepare a research report summarizing findings, Researchers
including any changes in environmental
responsibility.
 Use the Solomon four-group design to assess
the impact of the interventions while controlling
for pretest differences
Discussions and  Discuss the results in the context of Researchers
Implications environmental education and ethical decision-
making.
 Explore the implications for future interventions
or educational programs.
