Overview facilitate instruction, enhance teaching help students see the purpose of engaging in research methods see behavior as a science #SAGETalks Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Research Methods: An important part of science Think about the bigger picture Understanding behavior as a science requires both parts (Methods and Stats/Analysis) Finding common ground can facilitate instruction Methods Rules Analysis Data SCIENCE Decisions #SAGETalks Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
If the balloons popped the sound wouldnt be able to carry since then everything would be too far away from the correct floor. A closed window would also prevent the sound from carrying, since most buildings tend to be well insulated. Since the whole operation depends on the steady flow of electricity, a break in the middle of the wire would also cause problems. Of course, the fellow could shout, but the human voice is not loud enough to carry that far. An additional problem is that the string could break on the instrument. Then there would be no accompaniment to the message. It is clear that the best situation would involve less distance. Then there would be fewer problems. With face-to-face contact, the least number of things could go wrong. Bransford and Johnson (1972) Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Finding Common Ground Degrees of freedom Counterbalancing Control, causality Operational definition Significance Variability, error Individual differences Constructs ANOVA Validity, reliability Sampling Methods Hypothesis development Statistics Power, effect size Normal distribution Scales of measurement Skewness Sample size Research ethics Methodology Parametric Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Enhancing Instruction: Bringing each part together Variability, error, and individual differences Cause and effect, and control Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Variability, Error, and Individual Differences Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Cause-and-Effect, and Control Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Closing the Loop in Experimentation Statistical Control Methodological Control Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC
Bringing Science into Focus Finding the common ground in methods and statistics can help students understand: why they are working through the process of engaging in research methods, and how research methods fits with the bigger picture of engaging in science.
