Research Training Institute for Quasi-Experimental Design and Analysis
August 9, 2010 - August 13, 2010
The course sessions provide intensive training in planning quasi-experimental designs, in implementing them, and in analyzing data from them. More emphasis is placed on analysis than in prior rounds of this workshop. The course enables participants to better evaluate and conduct quasi-experiments and to fit the design needed to the targeted conditions of an application.
The National Center for Education Research (NCER) in the Institute of Education Sciences awarded the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University a grant for a summer research training institute on how to plan and conduct better quasi-experimental design and analysis.
Objective
The National Center for Education Research (NCER) in the Institute of Education Sciences awarded the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University a grant for a summer research training institute on how to plan and conduct better quasi-experimental design and analysis.
The course enables participants to:
- To provide researchers with state-of-the-art tools for designing, implementing, and analyzing their own quasi-experiments,
- To help researchers plan higher quality (and more internally valid) quasi-experiments, and
- To provide general education and background knowledge on experiments and quasi-experiments for researchers interested in methodology.
