What’s In
In the previous discussion on quantitative research designs, you were taught about
quasi-experimental and experimental designs. Its uniqueness from other research designs
was also described. Remember that experimental research design controls or manipulates the
independent variable. This is done by applying particular conditions or treatments or whatis
called research intervention. In this lesson, the focus is on how to describe your research
intervention in your research paper.
What Is It
A section that explains the details of research intervention is added in the research
paper if it is an experimental design. In this section, the procedure of research intervention is
explained clearly.
Describe the Differences and Similarities between the Experimental and Control
Group. State what will happen and what will not both in the experimental and control groups.
This will clearly illustrate the parameters of the research groups.
Describe the Procedures of the Intervention. In particular, describe how will the
experimental group receive or experience the condition. It includes how will the intervention
happens to achieve the desired result of the study. For example, how will the special tutorial
program will take place?
Explain the Basis of Procedures. The reason for choosing the intervention and
process should clear and concrete reasons. The researcher explains why the procedures are
necessary. In addition, the theoretical and conceptual basis for choosing the procedures is
presented to establish the validity of the procedures.
