Talk by Gavin Brown on Quantitative Research Methods
This presentation was recorded as a guest appearance for a course taught at the University of Auckland, Faculty of Education and Social Work. The course, EDUC735 ‘Researching
Educational Settings’, is taught by Dr Mohamed Alansari. He funded a series of recordings on research methods of which this is one. Permission has been gained from him to link this presentation to my figshare.com account.
The presentation was created as a response to the following prompts:
1. What counts as a
quantitative project?
2. What are some of the
essential features of a well-designed quantitative project?
3.
What are the
differences between reliability and validity, and why are these terms
important?
4.
Are self-report data
reliable?
The presentation follows a script I wrote to address those questions.
