****************************************************************
After reading Chapter 8 (And view the video), please answer the following discussion question. Be aware of the different algorithms in this chapter that can help you identify a research design, or select a design for your own study.
Sample study: The research study you are interested in conducting will look at the two groups of junior high school students, those that play sports on an official team and those that do not play sports in school. You want to know if the average (mean) number of minutes of physical activity per week is different between the two groups, whether or not their nutritional intake is different, and how many minutes of sleep they get each night.
Your research question is this: Are junior high school students that play sports at school receiving better nutrition, more minutes of sleep, and more physical activity than junior high school students who do not play sports at school?
Discussion Questions to Answer in Your Own Words (No direct quotes):
- Select (and cite) the correct algorithm from your text that will aid you in identifying the research design you should use.
- State the research design and the algorithm you used in this decision.
- Explain your choice.
- What type of sampling will you do to reach the highest level of research design (experimental?). Select a quasi-experimental or experimental sampling method.
- What method did you select and why?
