Educational research

and correlational research is that causal-comparative studies involve two or more groups and one independent variable, while correlational studies involve two or more variables and one group." (Gay & Airasian, 2000, 364). Causal-comparative educational research identifies a relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. This relationship suggests that the researcher must prove more. When the research has true control over the independent variable the research will be considered

Howard, A. EU-7101V2 1 Identify Areas of Research in Your Specialization Almeader Howard Northcentral University IDENTIFY AREAS OF RESEARCH 2 Low Performing Students In every school and in every classroom, it becomes apparent that the grouping of students becomes necessary. The necessity arises as the pressure mounts to improve student achievement. The pressure increases as the school and district release standard testing results to the public. Once

Introduction Transitions are now recognised as central to young children’s experiences and well-being, as well as a powerful integrative framework for research. This review surveys major conceptual tools that shed light on different aspects of early childhood transitions. The objectives are twofold: 1) to review major research perspectives on early childhood transitions and 2) to identify significant trends (and gaps) in the knowledge base of scholarly as well as professional studies. The findings

Computer Training an Effective Tool for Pressure Ulcer Classification I choose the article "Effectiveness of an e-learning tool for education on pressure ulcer evaluation" written by Laura Morente, Jose Morales-Asencio and Francisco J. Veredas. The research objective was to determine if e-learning modules were more effective than classroom training in the identification and treatment of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are serious preventable clinical complications that can lead to pain, infection

An Action Research Project Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Educational Leadership Lamar University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Education in Education Administration By Ashley C. Glover May 2017 Abstract TITLE OF ACTION RESEARCH REPORT by Ashley C. Glover Rattan, Savani, Chugh, and Dweck (2015) state that scientific research shows that students’ psychology-their “academic mindsets”-have a critical role in educational achievement. The

When beginning to research for this project, it seemed that a lot of credible sources were from universities or other educational establishments. The best website is sponsored by Vanderbilt University and has awesome information and was very eye-catching. There was also another site sponsored by The University of North Carolina at Charlotte and it gave good information but not as much as the best one. Lastly, I chose a site that was not very good at all to discuss what makes it not credible. Knowing

Quantitative Research Critique Student’s Name Here   Title For the research critique I will be taking nursing research paper with title- A quantitative study of the attitude, knowledge and experience of staff nurses on prioritizing comfort measures in care of the dying patient in an acute hospital setting. As per the title, the variables included in it were nurse staff and dying patients (Bachelor of Nursing Studies, 2011). The population was not mentioned particularly in the title but was

CHAPTER IV SCIENCE EDUCATION HISTORICAL BACKGROUND W ith a long and chequered history of education and training in pure and applied sciences dating back to over 2,600 years, India has had flourishing tradition of scientific research and technological development. Taxila (6th century BC) one of the earliest universities in the world, attracted students from across the continents. Major fields of study at Taxila included mathematics, astronomy, medicine, surgery and metallurgy. Unfortunately, most

253 Chapter 6 Evaluation Research Design: Literature Reviews & Synthesis Frequently a research question or hypothesis can be answered through secondary research, i.e., a literature review or synthesis. Both strategies requires the researcher to mine existing data sources; ―pull out‖ relevant data or information; summarize it; logically analyze and/or statistically treat it; and report results. In many instances, the issue, problem, question, etc. which prompted the idea for an evaluation study is

Assignment One Introduction There are numerous research designs that a researcher can choose. Therefore, it is essential that the researcher chooses a research design that fits the purpose of the study. The purpose of this paper is to explore the logic of experimental design. Jackson (2012) Even-Numbered Chapter Exercise Problems One confound identified in this study is the attrition or mortality effect, which is the dropout of subjects from fifty to twenty-nine subjects (Jackson, 2012).
