9 important questions on Introduction to Design - pages 206-221
What about internal validity?
Internal validity is the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships.
Establishing internal validity is just a technical way of saying that you have ruled plausible alternative explanations an have thus shown that indeed a causal relationship likely exists between your program and the intended outcome.
Internal and external validity are concepts that reflect whether or not the results of a study are trustworthy and meaningful.
Internal validity refers specifically to whether an experimental treatment/condition makes a difference or not, and whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim.
What is research enterprise?
The book concentrates most on how you learn to conduct a research project, a specific investigation of a question interest. But it is important that you understand the broader effort that each research projects contributes to.
What does translational research mean?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What does experimental design as the ' gold standard' means?
From a theoretical perspective, they probably are the strongest of designs, but we have to be careful to understand what is meant by that .If you can implement an experimental design well , the experiment is probably the strongest design with respect to internal validitiy.
Treatment group, control group
What are the most important aspects of the research method of List?
He started a true experiment. They are being asked how much they are going to share:
4 groups
1.Baseline (control group)
2.Experiment group 2 : Take 1 (you can take and you can share )
3.Experiment group 3: Take 5
4.Experiment group 4: Take 5 + earnings (he need to do stupid work for 30 minutes and get money he knows that someone in the other room do the same)
What about external validity?
While internal validity relates to how well a study is conducted (its structure), external validity relates to how applicable the findings are to the real world.
Can you generalize it to a different situation? The degree to which the conclusions in your study would hold for other places and at other times.
What about construct validity?
The degree to which inferences can be legitimately be made from the operationalization in your study to the theoretical constructs on which those operationalizations are based.
List his theoretical construct = social norms. You need to have a measurement in real life. His action sets according are about social norms.
Experiments conducted in a lab have certain strengths and weaknesses. Illustrate these with List's experiment (2007) and use the criteria internal validity, construct validity and external validity described on page 28 of the book.
High on internal validity because it’s a true experiment conducted in the lab.
-External validity
List is proving al former experiments are wrong. This his study is low on external validity. Are the results like this because of the students?
-Construct validity
List his construct is about social norms. Criticism on construct validity = Is there realy an room b?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
