- Introduction to Design
This site explains research design as being the structure of research. Includes a discussion of each of the elements of research.
- Experimental Design
This site provides definitions of pre-experimental, true experimental, and quasi experimental design.
- Experimental Design Internal Validity
A continuing explanation of experimental design that focuses on internal validity.
- Experimental Design External Validity
A continuing explanation of experimental design that focuses on internal validity.
- Random assignment and random selection
This is a discussion of random assignment and random selection.
- Quasi Experimental Design
This is a thorough explanation of quasi-experimental designs.
- Correlational Related Research Design
This site explains the difference between casualty and correlation. Also examined are when to use correlation, how to plan a study, types of variables, etc.
- Correlational versus Experimental Studies
This site discusses examples of a correlational study and an experimental study. A quiz follows which tests students’ knowledge of the discussion.
- Research Room
This site explains the process of writing a research paper in detail. Included in the steps are developing a question/thesis, finding/evaluating sources, writing, and revising.
- How to Write a Research Report
This site explains the process of writing a research paper in detail.
- Education Research and Important Reports and Studies.
This site of government reports and studies provides numerous links to education research sites.
- Research Design Explained
This site has some interesting suggestions to generate research problems and /or hypotheses.
- Qualitative and Quantitative Research
Statements describing qualitative and quantitative research followed by a ten question activity that can be submitted for scoring.
- Experiment and Non-Experiment
This is a very good discussion of experimental and non-experimental research designs and issues. It includes discussions of the following topics: randomization and Simpson’s paradox, causal inferences, and research design and statistical analysis. It also has a nice reference list for further reading.
- Paradigms and Research Methods
This is the 1999 Research and Paradigms website.
- True and Quasi Experimental Design
This site includes a discussion of true and quasi?experimental designs. It gives limitations,
recommendations for evaluation, and additional readings.
- Lesson: Research Design
An outline of a professor’s lesson titled “Research Design” which has many of the same terms and topics covered in the text. There is a section on research in the field of nursing, but all other parts are applicable to research in any field.
- Experimental Design Purposes and Pitfalls
Tutorials prepared by graduate students in Bill Trochim’s class at Cornell for students who are new to social research methods.
- Research Randomizer: Instant Random Sampling and Random Assignment
This web site is designed to assist researchers and students who want an easy way to perform random sampling or assign participants to experimental conditions.
- Chapter 11: Quasi Experimental Design
This is Trochim page on quasi?experimental, single?subject, and developmental research designs.
- Basic Experimental Design
A paper titled: Basic Experimental Design: The Basics of Experimental Design [A Quick and Non?Technical Guide] which includes many topics covered in the text.
- Examples of Research Designs
This page describes several examples of each type of quantitative and qualitative research design.
- Day10: Nonexperimental Design Research
This site contains an outline and notes from a research design course. Topics discussed include descriptive research, correlational research, survey research, and ex-post-facto research.
- Guides to Social Science and Qualitative Research
This collection of materials has been written by graduate students enrolled in the Research Methods and Theory course offered in the English Department at Colorado State University. Each year, one or more students revise each unit.
- Clarifying Research Design
A site with a table on the four basic types of quantitative designs.
- Grounded Theory as Scientific Research
This page explains grounded theory and its use as scientific research.
- AEE 8803
