you will read brief descriptions of six research studies. 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. A high school biology teacher is teaching her students the hierarchy that biologists use to classify living things: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. One common strategy for remembering the hierarchy is to think of the sentence "King Philip comes over for good spaghetti," in which the words begin with the same letters as the words in the hierarchy (K P C O F G S). The teacher wants to know whether this sentence is actually helpful for students. She creates two handouts describing the classification hierarchy; the handouts are almost identical, but one includes the "King Philip" sentence and the other does not. She shuffles the two handouts together in a pile and distributes one handout to each student in her class. The following day, she finds that students who have been given the "King Philip" sentence remember the hierarchy more accurately. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational 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.
