each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three categories: whether it (a) presents new information, (b) asks a question, or (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the students' scores on a district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results.
An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three categories: whether it (a) presents new information, (b) asks a question, or (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the students' scores on a district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot of questions in class, students are more likely to score at high levels on the achievement test.
(a) Classify the research as one of the following:
Quantitative/descriptive
Quantitative/
Quantitative/experimental
Quantitative/quasi-experimental
Qualitative
Mixed methods, and then
(b) Identify one or more conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from this study and, if relevant, one or more conclusions that cannot be drawn from the study.
