A researcher is interested in understanding whether an educational program has any effect on a third-grade class’s academic performance. The program involves a one-day learning session that uses nontraditional teaching tools to engage students.
Design a Correlational study to test whether the educational program is effective. To do this you should describe:
1.What is the research question you are investigating? (Hint: this is basically mentioned above)
2.Identify the independent variable and dependent variable.
3.Identify the sample and how you would conduct the actual study.
4.Describe what you would need to know to decide whether the educational program was effective.
5.Describe the limitations to your study, based on the design you described.
