100
A narrative of someone's entire life.
What is a life history?
100
A useful tool that provides feedback in the form of data which can be used to calculate trends.
What is a survey?
100
The researcher selects individuals from a target group that are probably representative of that group.
What is probability sampling?
100
A key component of research that is an attribute of an individual or group that can be used as a measure and is different among individuals.
What is a variable?
100
The smallest unit treated by the researcher during the experiment.
What is an experimental unit of analysis?
200
A guiding perspective or ideology that gives structure to the report.
What is a theoretical lens?
200
A design which can measure educational groups, the needs of a community, opinions, or evaluate a program.
What is cross-sectional survey?
200
Researchers divide the population on some specific characteristics and randomly sample each subgroup.
What is stratified sampling?
200
I believe there is no difference between this factor and that factor.
What is a null hypothesis?
200
A problem in correctly drawing an inference from data that variables produce or in the process that is done to procure the data.
What is a threat to internal validity?
300
The researcher writes about an individual life in order of the sequence of their life's events.
What is chronology?
300
A longitudinal design that is meant to study the changes over a certain period of time.
What is a trend study?
300
The researcher chooses a sample in 2 or more stages, such as in cases where the population is large or difficult to pin point.
What is multistage cluster sampling?
300
I think if this happens in this situation with these conditions, it means something important is happening.
What is a hypothesis?
300
An example of this would be: an inability to generalize the results from selection, or setting or the overgeneralization of findings along timelines.
What is a threat to external validity?
400
A researcher involves the participant in the process of research as it occurs.
What is collaboration?
400
Over time, a subpopulation's characteristics are studied.
What is a cohort study?
400
A situation where participants are selected because they are willing or immediately available.
What is convenience sampling?
400
An example: How regularly does this group of people use the facilities at this location?
What is a research question?
400
A researcher randomly assigns participants to different conditions of the experimental variable.
What is a true experiment?
500
Not all stories are completely true as told by the interviewee.
What is an issue in conducting narrative research?
500
The exact same participants are studied over a period of time.
What is a panel study?
500
A situation where current participants identify others to become part of a study.
What is snowball sampling?
500
An example: The purpose of this by relating these factors, variables, individuals and conditions is to determine something meaningful.
What is a purpose statement?
500
Assignment of participants to groups is not random.
What is a quasi-experiment?
