RESEARCH DESIGN
WHAT IS THE DESIGN?
#2
a. Research objective and type
Determine the association between number of extracurricular activities
participated in by students and their scholastic achievement – MEASURE
CORRELATION/ASSOCIATION
b. Variables, variable type and level of measurement
number of extracurricular activities – QUANTITATIVE, RATIO LEVEL
scholastic achievement (GPA) – QUANTITATIVE, RATIO LEVEL
c. Related or independent samples
Answer key
#3
a. Research objective and type
Determine whether there are any significant differences between the
achievement scores of three samples of students taught by three varieties of
lecture instruction. - COMPARE MORE THAN TWO GROUPS
Determine if the student’s level of intelligence interacts in any significant
fashion with the performance under the three varieties of lecture techniques. –
MEASURE CORRELATION/ASSOCIATION
b. Variables, variable type and level of measurement
Student’s achievement (achievement scores – posttest) – QUANTITATIVE,
RATIO LEVEL
Level of Intelligence (above average, average, below average) –
QUALITATIVE - Ordinal
c. Related or independent samples
300 students (100 taught by each method) – independent samples
Answer key
#4
a. Research objective and type
Predict the likely success of the school’s seniors at a nearby private university. –
PREDICT VALUE FROM ANOTHER VARIABLE
b. Variables, variable type and level of measurement
college grades and entrance examination scores – QUANTITATIVE, RATIOO
LEVEL
high-school grades, scores on a standardized intelligence test administered
during the ninth grade – QUANTITATIVE, RATIO LEVEL
personal data such as sex, church affiliation, etc – QUALITATIVE, NOMINAL
c. Related or independent samples
Answer key
#5
a. Research objective and type
Determine the effectiveness of a new approach to spelling proficiency. –COMPARE
TWO GROUPS
b. Variables, variable type and level of measurement
Spelling proficiency (measured thru a spelling quiz- scores) – QUANTITATIVE, RATIO
LEVEL
c. Related or independent samples
Since all of the students involved in the pilot study had been pre-selected for
purposes of the research, subjects in the two groups had been matched in pairs
with respect to intellectual ability and pre-experimental performance on an orally
administered spelling quiz of 150 words – RELATED SAMPLES (MATCHED/PAIRED)
