Methods Study Sample Describe your population and sample, giving any history you feel is important to the evaluation.

Measurement/Instruments Operationalize your dependent variable so that it is measureable, then discuss how you will measure change in the variable from a holistic perspective. In other words, clearly describe your measurement plan. Because you will measure change holistically, you likely will need to use more than one type of measurement tool in the measurement plan.

Discuss any potential issues (strengths or needs) regarding your measurement tools as they relate to diversity or social justice. Include copies of your measure, log sheets, behavioral chart system, or other measurement tools in the Appendix.

Why are you using this particular type of group research design, and what are the potential benefits and problems associated with using this type of design?
