Reiko Aya: Assignment 2 - Research Design Exercise
Assignment 2 Scenario A: ** Design Two: Repeated measures design ** In order to try both film/traditional lecture methods, I would try a "repeated measures design". Look at the same students under different conditions.
 * 1) I would use one students' group with "traditional lecture" method first (do pre & post tests and measure gain).
 * 2) After that, try "film" method -- do pre & post tests and measure the differences.
 * 3) At the end, analyze these data.

For scenario B: ** Design One: **** Two group pre/post design or two group posttest ** -- I would use a "posttest design" method. Find the treatment effect.
 * 1) Use two similar groups.
 * 2) Try one group -- use integrated arts activities, and try the other group with a traditional way.
 * 3) Compare the results.
 * 4) Do post-post test and compare the results.


 * || Pre-test || Treatment || Post-test || post-post || Change or gain scores ||
 * use of integrated arts activities ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
 * traditional way ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||

Finally, for scenario C; ** Design 3 -- **** Designs including an attribute (moderator )variable. ** I would set up a "repeated measures design" with 2nd questions -- do boys better than girls studying through project (PBL)?
 * 1) I would use one students' group with "traditional" method first (do pre & post tests and measure gain; include gender).
 * 2) After that, try "PBL" method -- do pre & post tests and measure the differences (include gender).
 * 3) At the end, analyze these data.


 * || Pre-test || Treatment || Post-test || Change or gain scores ||
 * PBL -- boys ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * PBL -- girls ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * traditional way -- boys ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * traditional way -- girls ||  ||   ||   ||   ||

Assignment 3

ASSIGNMENT 3 (Post on your proposal page).

Describe your research design using the designs above and the boxes associated with them. You will have a two- group design of some sort **or** a repeated measures design where you are using your class under different conditions. Also decide if you will have an attribute variable.


 * Unit 1 ||  ||   ||   || Unit 2 ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Pretest || Treat-ment || Posttest || Gain or change score || Pretest || Treat-ment || Posttest || Gain or change score ||
 * || Traditional flashcards ||  ||   ||   || Games ||   ||   ||
