Document Summary
Inductive: data > theory, deductive, theory > data, think before you even get data. Deductive measurement: concepts (mental categories, multi-dimensional, operational definitions (the process of converting, variables (concept that varies/is measureable) Indicators (criteria reflective of concept: start in big concepts and go down to small things. Good student indicators: grades, classroom behavior, attitude of eager leaner, attendance, responsible, capacity to self-learn. Indicators: grades, classroom behavior, attitude of eager leaner, attendance, responsible, capacity to self-learn. Indicators: grades, classroom behavior, attitude of eager leaner, attendance, responsible, capacity to self-learn, variables (measureable, overall gpa, # of discussion contributions, score on attitude test, # of absences, # of late assignments. Deductive measurement (in sum: concepts (mental categories, multi-dimensional, operational definitions (the process of converting, variables (concept that varies/is measureable, then, you have to figure out what kind of variable/measurement or scale you will use.
