Assignment for Chapter 10
1
Read the article by Self-Brown and Mathews (2010), and then answer the questions.
1.
Who were the participants in this study?
The participants were the students in the three elementary school classes which included two fifth
grade classes and one fourth grade class. 2.
What is (are) the independent variable(s)? Identify the levels of the treatment.
The independent variable is classroom structure which consisted of three levels: token economy, contingency contract, and control. 3.
What was the dependent variable in this study?
The dependent variable was the goal type, performance or learning goals, that students set for mathematics.
4.
How did the researchers assign the classes to the various structures under study?
Each of three intact classrooms was assigned randomly to one of three classroom evaluation structure conditions: token economy, contingency contract, or control. We applied those classroom evaluation structure conditions to mathematics. The mathematics instruction in each classroom was on grade level. Throughout the study, teachers in the participating classrooms continued to evaluate their students with a traditional grading system that included graded evaluation of mathematics classwork, homework, and weekly tests. Student participants in each classroom

5.
Identify at least one potential threat to validity in this study. Describe how it is a threat and what might mitigate it.
One limitation was that it did not control for teacher expectancies and how these may have influenced students’ goal setting. Another potential limitation was that mathematics was the only subject area used for this study. Further studies should include additional academic areas, such as social studies, humanities, and science to investigate whether similar results will ensue.

You are interested in the benefits of different types of technology training on teachers' technology skills, use, and their attitude regarding instructional technologies. You are in the unique position of being able to study all the teachers in a regional unit that houses several districts. You, therefore, can conduct the research any way that you would like!
To diagram the design, use the following labels:
R (random assignment to groups), O (test), X1 (experimental treatment), and X2 (control treatment)

I would conduct the experiment using a quasi-experimental design. The group design would be as follows: O X1 O O O 7.
Describe how you would conduct this study as a time-series design, and diagram it.
I would still use the quasi-experimental design. The group design would be as follows: OO X1 OO

8.
Describe how you would design this study as a posttest-only true experimental design and diagram it.
Posttest experimental design would be as follows: X(1)O X(2)O
