Has 3 basic principles: (1) Beneficence of Treatment of Participants, (2) Respect for Participants, and (3) Justice
What is the Belmont Report?
100
This step allows you to confirm or dismiss your hypothesis.
What is analyzing and interpreting the data?
100
This is the "testing" of variable.
What is an experiment?
100
This type of correlational design is used when the researcher is wanting to know the extent of which two or more variables co-vary.
What is explanatory design?
100
You use this design when you have a specific problem to solve.
What is an action research design?
200
This group is responsible for approving research on human subjects and for guaranteeing their protection.
What is the Institutional Review Board?
200
This step allows you to determine your study population, obtain their permission, identify the types of measurement and identify your instruments.
What is collecting the data?
200
This is the process of assigning individuals to groups in an experiment.
What random assignment?
200
This type of correlational design is to "identify variables that will predict an outcome or criterion" (Creswell, 2012, p.341).
What is prediction research design?
200
The purpose of this type of research is to study a specific situation with a view towards improving practice.
What is practical action research?
300
This is demonstrated when permission is gained before entering a site and by disturbing the site as little as possible during the research process.
What is respect of the site?
300
According to Creswell (2012), this is the "educational issues, controversies, or concerns that guide the need for conducting a study."
What is the research problem?
300
This is a measurement that is done BEFORE a treatment is received.
What is a pretest?
300
In this type of direction of the association, an increase in "x" results in an increase in "y".
What is positive correlation?
300
The purpose of this design is to improve the quality of people's organizations/communities/family lives.
What is participatory action research?
400
This is received from a potential research participant prior to study entry.
What is the Informed Consent?
400
One of four things are some of the most important elements of a research study. They indicate the "lay out" of the research.
What are the purpose statement, research questions, hypothesis and objectives?
400
This type of experiment does include assignments, however, they are not random.
What is a quasi-experiment?
400
In this direction of association, an increase in one variable results in the decrease of another.
What is negative correlation?
400
This step in action research occurs when the researcher develops and action plan in response to the problem being studied.
What is developing a plan of action?
500
According to Creswell (2012), this should be "a primary consideration rather than an afterthought, and it should be at the forefront of the researcher's agenda."
What is ethics?
500
This step requires that you identify key terms, locate literature, evaluate and select literature, organize the literature and write the review.
What is reviewing the literature?
500
In this type of design, ALL participants participate in ALL experimental treatments.
What is a repeated measures design?
500
This is a statistical procedure that allows for the examination of the combined relationship of MULTIPLE independent variables with a SINGLE dependent variable.
What is multiple regression or multiple correlation?
500
Promising a research participant "favored treatment" for participation or "providing consequences" for not participating is called this.
