Assessment Description
It is essential for researchers to be familiar with the path, contents, and steps for conducting a solid research study. This assignment identifies and establishes the mindset for that purpose.
You will not write up the entire design, but provide an outline identifying the major components with justifications. Make sure you address the items below that are appropriate to the field or experiment being conducted. Add additional components not found below as applicable.
1. Problem/Idea
2. Objective of the experiment
3. Hypothesis
4. Research Design Strategy (survey, field studies, simulations, computational experiment, controlled experiment)
5. Variables (independent, dependent, intervening/mediating, moderating, control, and confounding variables)
6. Population/Participants (where data is collected from)
7. Need or sampling
8. Instrumentation/Materials/Requirements
9. Experimental tasks/procedures
10. Performance indicators (ranked in order of importance) and evaluate the variability of these measures
11. Data collection process/method
12. Testing methods
13. Documentation of proposed testing/data (flowcharts, proofs of solutions, metrics, models, algorithms)
14. Validity, reliability, and replicability
15. Results/Analysis (graphs, tables, charts, images)
16. Interpretations/Conclusions
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
