Document Summary
What is the risk of confusing these two: list the required elements of qualitative and quantitative research questions and give examples. Sampling error: error may occur bc of way of measurement, can be reduced by increasing sampling size. Sampling fluctuation: values of samples drawn from pop may differ, but this is normal. Statistical sig: when fluctuation is greater than expected, math test desnt tell you how diff, just that its diff practical sig not included: be able to write an apa 6th edition citation for a peer-reviewed journal publication. Of pop that will generalize results to, reduce error, reduce bias. Qual strat: typical case, extreme, snowball: what three (3) factors influence the reliability of your measurements? (provide examples. ) Keeping observers blind, use multiple observers, training observers: what are five (5) strategies you could use to increase the reliability of your observations? (look for the slide where the cartoon characters are holding up signs with scores. )
