Hypothesis In-person learners have higher test scores than virtual learners. I am going to conduct a quantitative experiment that looks at math test scores of in-person vs virtual middle school students. I want to know if in-person students are more successful than virtual students. The purpose of this experiment is to see if virtual interventions … Continue reading Virtual vs In-Person Learners- Proposal Outline
Discussion Question Suppose you wanted to know whether having parents read to preschool children has a positive effect on the children’s subsequent reading achievement. Do you think it would be better to conduct an “experimental study” or a “nonexperimental study”? Why? Option 1: Experimental Study The participants in this type of study would be families … Continue reading Topic 4, DQ 3: Effects of Reading to Preschoolers
The Discussion Question Suppose you read that an outbreak of intestinal disorders occurred in a town and the source was traced to contaminated chicken served in a popular restaurant. Is it likely the study that identified the source was “experimental” or “nonexperimental”? Why? Study Designation As stated above, this topic differentiates between Experimental and Nonexperimental … Continue reading Topic 4, DQ 1: Experimental and Nonexperimental Studies
For my research, my initial thought is to conduct a nonexperimental study on virtual vs in-person learners at the middle school level. I would like to observe the two types of learners to see which group demonstrates a greater mastery of the math standards being taught. I would not be providing a treatment plan in … Continue reading Virtual vs. In-Person Learning for Middle School Students
