Research Designs and Algorithms

· Read Chapter 8, review the algorithms for the different research designs.

· You are going to compare two groups of students (school team or no school team).  This is like having an intervention group and a control group.  

· Select (and cite) the correct quantitative algorithm from your text that will aid you in identifying the research design you should use.

· State the quantitative research design and the algorithm you used in this decision.

· Explain your choice. 

· What type of sampling will you do to reach the highest level of research design (experimental?).  Select a quasi-experimental or experimental sampling method. 

· What method did you select and why?
