Developing a Quantitative Research Plan: Choosing a Research Design

[cheekyxoxmonkey]

This was so helpful. I have an MSc exam tomorrow and I have to design a study based upon a research question. I feel so much more confident on what my research design options are now after this tutorial.

Thank for posting this presentation to YouTube ... very informative and easy to comprehend..

[ravisingh]

You saved me...I understood it but you just took it home for me. Bless you!

+Amanda Rockinson-Szapkiw +The Doctoral Journey This video is required viewing for my doctoral course, and I really appreciate the clarity of expression and vivid examples you used. It is super helpful! I want to point out, however, that there is a typo in the "Quantitative Research: Types" chart used to illustrate Campbell and Stanley's (1963) ideas: It notes "Casual Comparative" as a branch of Group Comparison, rather than "Causal Comparative." :)

This is excellent, and so helpful, for my masters research proposal. I love using YouTube as a learning resource, it's so much more alive than constantly reading papers. Thanks for taking the time and generous effort to create it. I've subscribed.

I found it very helpful too! But I'll need to rewatch to get those terms into my vocabulary

[saintgregoiredarmeniemonas]

Wow! You really live up to your Ph D in "Education": this the most paedagogical overview presentation I've ever seen (from a medical or nursing health care student point of view)!

Great! Found very helpful to my situation at this time/stage in my doctoral journey.

Hi there, thanks for the great video! I am currently doing my PhD in education and I am using a mixed methods approach, with one of the research questions to "describe" the case i am investigating. So i have two questions:

1) At around 7:40 you explain that descriptive studies are usually used to identify a problem for more sophisticated research. This is completely logical, however is there any literature which explains this as a valid use of it methodologically?

2) Incidentally my study is on attitudes and beliefs, so one of the things you mentioned is of particular interest. You sat at around 9:47 that cross sectional studies are useful to look at attitudes or beliefs at a particular point in time. I was wondering what source you got this from as it would be particularly helpful to me, or if you could point me in the direction of where i might be able to find this out.

Thanks for your help and thanks for the great video!

Helpful information and well presented

[ashishkumaryadav]

thank you very much ...what about doing a video on "Developing a QUALITATIVE Research Plan: Choosing a Research Design" ? :)

[karenbyrd]

You references examples on a "handout." Is this available to download?

[dianaromero]

I have a question and maybe you can help me to answer it. when do you know that there is NOT a cause and effect relationship in a experimental design? or its possible do not have a cause and effect relationship in an experimental design?

Could we run a quasi-experiment without a control group simply because it is unethical to create it example if we are looking to figure out the difference between 2 anti-depressent drugs (from same family or category like TCA) administered to patients without randomization and allocated to 2 groups that similar as possible as other factors than treatments .... what design of this study? Non-eqivalents groups or causal comparative

[jabulilelolisolontsi]

Thank you so much, this was quite helpful.

[americanbluediamonds]

Do you have videos how to write an analytic paper?
Thanks.

If I wanted to examine the source of violence in the workplace effect on healthcare workers what design would that be?

I am looking for a existing tool to measure student motivation in reading
