  1. The Method Research Methods Kin 250

  2. What is the research method? • recipe • Repeatable; replication

  3. Baking A Pie • Gather key ingredients • Proscribe order of mixing; speed and timing • Create a design from various manipulations • Measure effects • Apply a critical analyses

  4. Research method • Introduce Chapter • Include an introductory paragraph in each chapter of the thesis ending with a statement leading into the content of the chapter • Identify participants • Describe the tasks • Define the variables • Create the design • Determine an appropriate analysis

  5. Class Exercise • Examine methods chapters from quantitative theses • Observe structure and order including format • Inspect content

  6. Participants • Sampling techniques • Sample size • Delimitations • Distinguishing characteristics • Age • Sex • Race • Physical observations

  7. Instrumentation The electric mixer (XXX watts?), the bowls (plastic or Corning?) • Key descriptions of standardized equipment and measures

  10. Tasks The ingredients: when, how much, type; order • Type • Reliability and validity • Difficulty • Age appropriateness • Trials • Length of trial

  11. Procedures • Pilot study • Detailed in such a way that anyone can carry out the same procedures and get the same results again • Type 1 error • Type 2 error • Provide references to appendices • Consent form • Instructions • Process frameworks or models

  12. Design • Dependent Measure (Effect, Variable, Factor, or Score) • Independent Effects (Measure, Variable, Factor, or Score) • Possible interaction effects

  13. Analysis Taste product and provide critical analysis of its flavor • Match analysis to design • Use type of measure to help determine appropriateness of analysis
