Homework: Discriminate Quasi-Experimental Research
Length: 2 to 3 pages.
You have been asked to help budding researchers understand the difference between quasi-experiments and true experiments. Prepare a tip sheet that could be shared with others that may also serve as a helpful tool for you as you continue your studies. You may include graphics, tables, or other visuals to support your work.
To begin, provide an example of a quasi-experimental research design where you are studying differences among individuals within pre-existing groups or conditions that occur naturally within the real world. Briefly describe the study, and then include the following in your tip sheet:
i. Explain the issue of random homework, and detail why it would be necessary to conduct a quasi-experimental study and not a true experiment in this hypothetical study.
ii. Interpret how this group membership could be impactful in understanding the results.
iii. Conclude with a brief exploration of what you would need to do to convert this into a true experiment, theoretically speaking.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
ii) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
iii) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
