CAP Flashcards
The purpose of this design is to describe the status of an identified variable such as events, people, or subjects as they exist.

Descriptive Research Design
The purpose of this design is to determine whether a relationship exists between two or more quantifiable variables and to what degree.
CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH DESIGN
This design aims to describe trends in a large population of individuals.
SURVEY RESEARCH DESIGN
This design attempts to determine the effectiveness or efficiency of certain practices or policies.
EVALUATION STUDIES DESIGN
This design attempts to determine the cause or consequences of differences that already exist between or among groups of individuals.
CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE DESIGN
This is one of the most powerful research methodologies that researchers can use.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN
The simplest design. Either a single group or multiple groups are observed subsequent to some agent or treatment presumed to cause change.
Pre-experimental design:
The most accurate design. The researcher randomly assigns subjects to control and treatment groups.
True experimental design:
Some other, non-random method is used to assign subjects to groups.
Quasi-experimental design:
A single group is exposed to a treatment and a dependent variable is subsequently observed in order to assess the effect of the treatment.
One-Shot Case Study
A single group is observed before and after being exposed to a treatment.
One-Group Pretest-Posttest Desig
This is also known as nonequivalent control group design.
In this design, two already existing groups (static groups) are used.
Static-Group Comparison Design
This design involves two groups, both of which are formed by random assignment.
One group receives the treatment while the other does not, and then both groups are posttested on the dependent variable.
Posttest-Only Control Group Design
Two groups of subjects were used, with both groups being observed twice (one on pretest and one on posttest).
Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design
This design involves random assignment of subjects to four groups, with two of them are pretested and two not.
One of the pretested groups and one of the unpretested groups is exposed to treatment
Solomon Four-Group Design
In this design, static groups will be given a pretest.
Static-Group Pretest-Posttest Design
This design involves repeated observations over a period of time both before and after treatment.
Time-Series Design
In this design, each group is exposed to all treatments, however many there are, but in a different order.
Counterbalanced Design
is simply a set of questions which, when answered completely by a required number of properly selected respondents, will supply the necessary information to complete a research study.
Questionnaires are most common instrument in research.
Questionnaire
is defined as a purposeful face to face relationship between two persons, one of whom called the interviewer who asks questions to gather information and the other called interviewee who supplies the information asked for.
Interview
Interview has three types:
unstructured, structured, and semi-structured.
