Below are your directions based on the statistical skills that you have learned this semester. Following all directions to successfully complete the project task. This project will be completed as a PowerPoint presentation 10-12 slides. Be creative by using pictures and other creative ideas to present your research project plan.
For this project, complete the following step below:
1. Create a research question with one independent variable and one
dependent variable (i.e. Does time of day have a significant impact on
academic performance. *Note: you cannot use this example as your
variables.
2. Identify the Independent variable and the dependent variable of your research question. (i.e. T
ime of day (IV) and academic performance (DV).
3.
Review and select a research design from the following: Descriptive
(describes), Experimental (cause & effect), or Correlation
(relationship/association).
4.
Define and explain the purpose of your chosen research design. Briefly
explain how this design will purposeful to your research question.
5.
Provide 3 methods on how you will measure your variables (review your
data collection options that we discussed at the beginning of the
semester. Here are a few hints a test, survey, treatment condition, etc.
*Keep in mind that these task will be based on the type of research
design you have chosen.
6. Create a “Raw Data Distribution Chart” of 50 participants scores.
You may choose ANY numerical values that you would like (any variety of
values 20 or higher) as long as you have 50 values in total.
You will not submit the raw data chart; instead, you will create a frequency table for your data.
8. Provide a written conclusion based on your statistical results: i.e.
“The results have indicated that time of day has a significant impact
(difference, or correlation-this is depending upon your chosen research
design) on academic performance.
