research-design
What each research-design question is really asking, how to structure the answer, and where the marks are likely to sit.
DQ 2 :Describe the process of a retrospective chart review
Research design
Five questions, and the last is the one that separates a chart review from a spreadsheet: how you know the data you pulled is actually what the chart says.
The brief asks for two theories and then, one sentence later, refers to three. That contradiction is real, it is in the prompt, and how you handle it is part of the assignment.
Eight titles and no abstracts, which means the exercise is about reading title language as design evidence. One of the eight is not a research study at all, and noticing that is part of the test.
DQ 1 : Provide examples of experimental and nonexperimental research designs
Research design
Two examples and one contrast, and the contrast is the graded part. Control is not a single dial: manipulation, randomisation and comparison groups vary independently, which is exactly why quasi-experimental designs exist.
