Different types of research
Study design dot point:
- determine appropriate type of investigation: experiments (including use of control and experimental groups); case studies; observational studies; self-reports; questionnaires; interviews; rating scales; access secondary data, including data sourced through the internet that would otherwise be difficult to source as raw or primary data through fieldwork, a laboratory or a classroom
Instructions for todays lesson
Use the Edrolo Powerpoint to make notes on primary and secondary data, and the different types of investigating which include use of controlled experiments which use the experimental method, but other non-experimental methods like observational studies; self-reports; questionnaires; interviews; rating scales
The slide show below gives more detail information on these non-experimental methods and there is an activity for you to complete at the end of it
This activity plus the table started last lesson on different types of extraneous variables and how to minimise them are homework to be completed by Monday.
