QUALITATIVE DESIGNS
A study that seeks to develop a theory.
What is grounded theory?
What is an RCT or true experiment?
The data analysis method most commonly used in qualitative research
What is coding?
This section of a research paper includes the findings of the data analysis.
What is Results?
The type of evidence synthesis tool that provides recommendations for treating specific conditions
What are clinical practice guidelines or CPGs?
The type of study that explores a concept or seeks to understand an experience--for example, being a graduate student during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What is phenomenology?
What is quasi-experimental?
This step in the coding process involves first identifying simple categories from the data.
What is open coding?
A section that is not required on an academic poster.
What is an Abstract?
The threat to internal validity that this represents: During a trial of a new assistive technology device, several participants leave the study due to the difficulty of using the device.
What is attrition?
What is ethnography?
This type of design is also called a case experiment.
What is single-subject?
The purpose of inferential statistics
What is to statistically reject the null hypothesis?
Where researchers describe what they did when they conducted their study
What is Methods or Methodology?
The type of research that involves both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
What is mixed methods or mixed methodology?
A study that uses self-reflection to explore the researcher's personal experiences.
What is auto-ethnography?
A single cohort receives a novel peer-assisted learning intervention. Their test performance is recorded before and after the intervention.
What is a pre/post or pre-experimental design?
This type of hypothesis explains why we may see a difference between groups.
What is an alternative hypothesis?
What researchers must already have when they propose to present their research at an academic conference
What is data?
What is triangulation?
This type of qualitative design seeks to tell a story.
What is narrative?
A study investigates the relationship between cases of COVID-19 and rates of mask-wearing across states.
What is correlational?
What is 95% confidence that the observed difference is a true difference?
The purpose of an academic poster presentation
What is to exchange ideas with colleagues (and/or facilitate dialogue with colleagues)?
Control groups limit these threats to internal validity.
What are history and maturation?
