Question 1.
Experimental design relates to how individuals are assigned to conduct a research in the various groups.[Ross, Steven M., and Gary R. Morrison. "Experimental research methods." In Handbook of research on educational communications and technology, pp. 1007-1029. Routledge, 2013.]
Types of experimental research
* Pre-experimental Research Design
Pre-experimental designs are research methods in which a person or group is monitored after the application of a therapy to see whether a treatment may induce change.
* Quasi-experimental Research Design
The term "quasi" denotes a close resemblance. A quasi-experimental design is related to, but not identical to, an experimental design. The assignment of a control group distinguishes them. Although an independent variable is changed in this study, the members of a group are not allocated at random. Random assignment is either irrelevant or not needed in field situations, thus quasi-research is utilized.
* True Experimental Research Design
True experimental research is the best kind of study because the verification or rejection of a hypothesis relies on statistical analysis. Only real design can show the link between cause and effect inside a group, out of all sorts of experimental designs.
Advantages of experimental research design
It gives researchers a high level of control.
People may alter the variables in experimental study to create a situation that allows them to see the phenomena they desire. They may exclude or control other variables that may have an impact on the overall findings, allowing them to focus only on two or three variables.
It can lead to excellent results.The nature of experimental research makes it simple for researchers to comprehend the connections between variables, individuals, and the environment, as well as to discover causes and consequences in whatever phenomenon they're investigating. Experiments may also be readily reproduced, which implies that the researchers or other scientists can repeat their study to validate the findings or examine additional factors.
Disadvantages of Experimental Research design
It can lead to artificial situationsExperimental researchers alter variables in various situations in an effort to mimic real-world settings in order to better understand how medicines, gadgets, therapies, and other novel discoveries work.
It can take a lot of time and money.Experimental research may be expensive and time-consuming, part...
