Measure, Test, Eval.
Quantifying the amount of a characteristic by assigning a number.
Measurement
Snapshot of the research paper/article.
Abstract
Consistency of your measurements.
Reliability.
Mean, Median, and Mode are all...
Averages
It’s what’s being measured or observed in a study.
A Variable
Used to obtain a measurement.
Test
Similar to a recipe this section included important details for replication.
Methods.
Determined by both the reliability and relevance of your measurement.
Validity
This average is influenced by the extreme scores in your data set.
Mean
Variable that is the presumed cause.
Independent Variable
Form of evaluation that compares to group data.
Norm-Referenced Evaluation
Graphs, figures, and tables are found in this section of the paper.
Results
This describes a working clock that is set to the wrong time.
Reliable not valid
Term that describes how all of your measurements compare to the mean.
Variability
Variable that is measured in/from subjects.
Dependent Variable
How you determine the value of your measurements.
Evaluation
Probably the most important piece of information in the introduction section.
Purpose or Purpose Statement
In measurement theory equation, the only thing you actually know is the...
Observed Score
Histogram that displays the frequency of each score/result.
Frequency Distribution
Variable that is the presumed effect.
Dependent Variable
Form of evaluation - You must be this tall to ride.
Criterion-Referenced Evaluation
This section explains the results section.
Discussion
Averaging multiple trial reduces the influence of this on the observed score.
Error or Error Score
This percentage of your scores fall under +/- 2 standard deviations of the normal curve.
