Activity: A Guided Question Activity for Teaching Research Methods
This activity requires students to work collaboratively to answer a series of guided questions concerning various research designs (e.g., between subjects design, within subjects design, factorial designs). This activity stimulates reflective thinking about the key elements of the various research designs and provides an environment for students to ask questions and engage in elaboration and argumentation. This activity concludes with each student having a completed study guide.
