This research design is conducted when a researcher aims to describe/determine individual opinons, policy issues, describe trends, or evaluate programs in schools.
What is Survey Research Design?
100
When every nth individual is selected for a desired sample size, then this type of sampling process has been achieved
What is systematic sampling?
100
This type of qualitative research design has three types: Systematic, Emerging, and Constructivist.
What is Grounded Theory Design?
100
This measure of central tendency is an average of the scores from the population.
What is the Mean?
100
This error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected by the researcher when it is actually true.
What is Type I Error?
200
This type of research design is used when you want to test an idea (or practice, or procedure) to determine whether it influences and outcome or dependent variable.
What is Experimental Research Design?
200
This must be achieved before scores from an instrument for data collection can be considered valid.
What is Reliability?
200
When you have individuals who are willing to tell their stories and you want to report their studies then you will be conducting this type of research.
What is Narrative Research?
200
This type of descriptive statistic involves transforming a raw score into a score with relative meaning. The z-score is an example.
What is a Standard Score?
200
A one-tailed hypothesis
What is a directional hypothesis?
300
This type of research design incorporates both qualitative and quantitative research apporaches.
What is Mixed Methods Research?
300
This type of data collection method involves a process of gathering open-ended, first-hand information by observing people and places at a research site.
What are Observations?
300
The culture-sharing group, in this type of qualitative research, has shared patterns of behavior, belief and language.
What is Ethnographic Research?
300
The Likert scale is an example of this type of scale of measurement.
What is an interval?
300
This value is usually set to a significance level of .05 or .01.
What is an Alpha Value?
400
A statistical test is used in this research deisgn in order to determine the tendency or pattern of 2 or more variables or 2 sets of data.
What is a Correlational Research Design?
400
If you are hiring someone not affiliated with your qualitative research study to review your finidings and provide an evaluation of your study then you have received this type of validity check.
What is an External Audit?
400
This type of validity check involves the process of collaborating evidence from different individuals, types of data, or methods of data collection in descriptions and themes.
What is Triangulation?
400
This measure of variance indicates the dispersion of scores around the mean.
What is Variance?
400
This type of statistical test is used in hypothesis testing. It allows an individual to estimate the probability that observed frequencies differ from expected frequencies through chance alone.
What is a Chi-square test?
500
If a survey is administered and participants are not notified of the true purpose of the survey in their informed consent statement, the researcher has committed this ethical dilemma.
What is Deception?
500
Because you are available and willing to participate, a researcher will use you in their study.
What is Convenience Sampling?
500
This type of purposeful sampling occurs when research has begun and a researcher wants to take advantage of unfolding events.
What is Opportunistic Sampling?
500
These 8 raw scores (1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 4, 7,8) produce this median.
What is 4?
500
This is a statistic that expresses a correlation statistic as a linear relationship.
What is the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient?
