Discriminating Quasi Experimental Research
Discriminating Quasi Experimental Research
| Instructions | |
| You have been asked to help budding researchers understand the difference between quasi-experiments and true experiments. Prepare a tip sheet that could be shared with others that may also serve as a helpful tool for you as you continue your studies. You may include graphics, tables, or other visuals to support your work.
To begin, provide an example of a quasi-experimental research design where you are studying differences among individuals within pre-existing groups or conditions that occur naturally within the real world. Briefly describe the study, and then include the following in your tip sheet: · Explain the issue of random assignment and detail why it would be necessary to conduct a quasi-experimental study and not a true experiment in this hypothetical study. · Interpret how this group membership could be impactful in understanding the results. · Conclude with a brief exploration of what you would need to do to convert this into a true experiment, theoretically speaking. Length: 2-3 page tip sheet, not including title and reference pages References: Include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources. The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy. |
