Experimental research methods presentation

Generalizability is the goal of most researchers. Through their research, they have shown their experimental research methods or intervention works in the environment they studied. They would like to show that their method or intervention will work in a wide variety of environments. If they can, then their method or intervention is considered generalizable. 

Imagine you are a manager at a retail store. The corporation has several hundred stores across the United States. You are asked to develop a new method for the customer service associates to improve their efficiency and timeliness in restocking products. Your supervisor told you the corporation would like to take your method of explaining the differences between qualitative and quantitative research and use it in their other stores. 

Assessment Deliverable 

Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation with visual elements and narration (audio or video) in which you:

• Explain the differences between qualitative and quantitative research methods.
• Describe how you might use the scientific method to evaluate if your method works as well in other stores.
• Explain if your method is qualitative or quantitative and how it might influence your evaluation.
• In your own words, define generalizability, and explain how it applies to this situation.
• Describe at least 2 research methods that improve generalizability.
• Summarize the main points of your presentation that you want your audience to take away from this training.

Record yourself (for audio or video) using a webcam, smartphone, or audio recorder. Be sure to submit both your presentation and mp4 file. Note: Sound and visibility are critically important for presentations. Practice your presentation before recording it to make sure the viewer can see and/or hear you clearly. 

Include a title slide, a reference slide, and detailed speaker notes of at least 50 words per slide.

Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references according to APA guidelines.
