Table 5: Model Fit Summary (b) for Grade Three

The model summary in Table 5 reports the strength of the relationship between the model and the dependent variable, i.e., ECA exam. The multiple correlation coefficient, R, which is the linear correlation between the observed and the model-predicted values of the dependent variable is .551. R Square, which is also called the coefficient of determination, is .303 showing that approximately 30 percent of the variation in ECA exam is explained by the model. Its interpretation is that 30 percent of the variation in the ECA test scores is common with the vocabulary scores. The Standard Error of the Estimate of the model is approximately 3.16 out of a total of 30, meaning that the prediction model produces an error range between ± [3.16]. Therefore, the prediction formula must be rewritten as (AVERAGE VOCAB × 0.713) + 2.871± [3.16].

Table 2: Reliability Indexes of the Measures Used in Grade Three

The procedures of lexical instruction and vocabulary testing continued up to the end of the course when the book content was exhausted. Lastly, near to the end of the academic year, the students took the End of the Course Achievement (ECA) exams (See Appendix 3) the major objectives of which were to make a holistic assessment concerning the achievement of the prespecified course objectives. These tests are usually designed, standardized, and administered either directly by the central offices of the Ministry of Education, or indirectly by the teachers at the local schools. However, no matter who develops them, they follow a uniform scheme or format which is mandated by the officials of the Ministry of Education. The reliability indexes obtained from the batteries utilized in the study are presented in Tables 2

Table 1: The Number of Words and Lessons in Book Three

Three hundred and thirty three lexical items included in the English textbook, namely, Birjandy, P. & Norouzi, M. & Mahmoody, G. (2004). English Book Three, which is routinely assigned by the Ministry of Education for EFL teaching in Iranian public high schools in Grade three were taught to the participants in the present study. The book typically includes sections of reading comprehension, grammar, pronunciation practice, dialogues, and a list of new words (with no explanation of meaning or synonyms) in the ending part of each lesson. These wordlists (See Appendix 1) were used for vocabulary instruction and subsequent vocabulary testing in the study. To save space, the number of the new words in each lesson is presented in Table 1

Figure 1. Scatter plot of ECA exam by average vocabulary in Grade Three

The mean score of every learner on the vocabulary tests was calculated. Then, through the statistical procedure of regression analysis, the data from the mean scores and the ECA exam scores were analyzed to derive a model which could reliably predict the learners’ performance on the ECA exam. To check whether the two variables of the ECA exam and the average vocabulary were suitable for linear regression, its scatter plot was examined. The resulting scatter plot (Figure 1) seemed to be sufficient for linear regression.

Table 4: ANOVA (b) for Grade Three

The ANOVA table below (Table 4) tests the acceptability of the model from a statistical perspective. The amount of regression sums of squares is122.385 indicating that about 33 percent of the total variation is explained by the model and the amount of residual sums of squares is 281.134 showing that about 67 percent of the variation is due to some factors other than the average vocabulary variable. The significance value of the F statistic is less than 0.05, which means that the variation explained by the model is not due to chance.

Figure1. Three-layer image decomposition with content protection-Access Management in Medical Image Databases Based on New Format and Contents Protection with Inverse Pyramid Decomposition

The image preparation for the image database with layered access is shown on Fig. 1. The image is archived layer by layer and the watermarks are inserted together with the image processing. The ROI (if there is one in the image) is processed in such a way, that to permit direct access for authorized users (separate pyramid is developed for the ROI representation).
