Two Group Experimental Design PP1234
Summary
TLDRThis script delves into the two-group experimental design, a method to test the impact of a variable on two distinct groups: a control and a treatment group. It explains two fundamental designs: the pretest-posttest control group design, where subjects are randomly assigned and knowledge is measured before and after an educational intervention, and the post-test-only control group design, which omits the pretest. Both aim to quantify the effect of the intervention on knowledge, such as an educational video on influenza, by comparing post-test scores.
Takeaways
- đŹ Two group experimental design is a method used to test the effects of a variable on two different groups: a control group and a treatment group.
- đ The purpose of this design is to measure the effect of an independent variable that can be manipulated, such as an educational intervention.
- đ„ An example given is an educational video on influenza to test its impact on knowledge about the subject.
- đ There are two basic designs within two group experiments: pretest-post-test control group design and post-test only control group design.
- đđ In the pretest-post-test control group design, subjects are randomly assigned to either group and given a pretest before the treatment.
- đ The treatment group receives the educational intervention, and then both groups are retested to measure changes in the dependent variable.
- âïž The effect of the treatment is determined by comparing the difference in post-test and pretest scores between the control and treatment groups.
- đ The post-test only control group design omits the pretest, focusing solely on the post-test results to evaluate the treatment's effect.
- đ The effectiveness of the educational session is calculated by subtracting the control group's post-test scores from the treatment group's scores.
- đ Random assignment is crucial in these designs to ensure that the groups are comparable and the treatment effect can be accurately measured.
- đ The dependent variable of interest in the script's example is knowledge about influenza, which is measured before and after the educational intervention.
Q & A
What is a two-group experimental design?
-A two-group experimental design is a simple and true experimental design that tests the effects of a variable on two different groups: a control group and a treatment group. It measures the effect of an independent variable that can be manipulated as a treatment.
What is the purpose of an educational video on influenza in this experimental design?
-The educational video on influenza serves as the treatment in the experimental design, aiming to improve the participants' knowledge on influenza.
What are the two basic designs within two-group experiments mentioned in the script?
-The two basic designs within two-group experiments are the pretest-post-test control group design and the post-test-only control group design.
How are subjects assigned in the pretest-post-test control group design?
-In the pretest-post-test control group design, subjects are randomly assigned to either the control group or the treatment group.
What is measured in the pretest and post-test in the pretest-post-test control group design?
-In the pretest-post-test control group design, the dependent variable of interest, in this case, knowledge, is measured before and after the treatment.
What is the treatment given to the treatment group in this experimental design?
-The treatment given to the treatment group is the educational video on influenza.
How does the pretest-post-test design measure the effect of the treatment?
-The pretest-post-test design measures the effect of the treatment by comparing the difference in post-test and pretest scores between the control and treatment groups.
What is the main difference between the pretest-post-test control group design and the post-test-only control group design?
-The main difference is that the pretest-post-test control group design includes a pretest, while the post-test-only control group design does not.
How is the effect of the treatment calculated in the post-test-only control group design?
-In the post-test-only control group design, the effect of the treatment is calculated by subtracting the post-test results of the control group from the post-test results of the treatment group.
What does the comparison of post-test scores between the control and treatment groups indicate?
-The comparison of post-test scores between the control and treatment groups indicates the effect of the educational session on influenza knowledge.
Why is random assignment important in experimental designs?
-Random assignment is important in experimental designs to ensure that the groups are similar before the treatment is applied, thus reducing the likelihood of bias and increasing the validity of the results.
