TO PREPARE:
• Consider the following questions about the study you choose and reflect on how to address them in your Discussion post:
o Do the concepts, theory, and research design all align? Why or why not?
o Is the method clearly explained? Why or why not?
o Why is a quasi-experimental method appropriate for this study?
o How is a quasi-experimental method approach demonstrated in the study?
o Is the data collection method explained clearly enough that you could replicate this study? Why or why not?
o What method was used for data analysis?
• Reflect on additional questions—prompted by this article and the focus on quasi-experimental research design—to pose to colleagues for guidance.
With these thoughts in mind …
Post an analysis of the quasi-experimental study you selected. Provide a brief description of the study and answer all the indicated “To Prepare” questions about the study. Be specific. Then, pose any questions to colleagues from your examination of this research study.
