Quasi-experimental Designs

1) Non-equivalent control group design


2) Time series design


3) Multiple time series design

Non-equivalent control group design

- Reduced history threat


-pretest: gives benchmark/initial equivalency


- Selection bias: lack random assignment


 

Time series design

- Good for measuring impact policy, curriculum, personal changes


-No control for history effects


 

Multiple time series design 

- combination of non-equivalent control group design


- better control for history threat


- works only when testing is non-reactive

Non-Experimental Designs

1) One shot case study


2) One group pretest-posttest


3) Static group comparison

One shot case study

- one group posttest only


- one group given treatment + posttest


- Many threats to internal validity

One group pretest-posttest

e.g. students + grades


- threats include history, maturation, interaction w/ selection, testing, instrumentation 

Static group comparison

- two groups but not randomly assigned


- one group = treatment + post test; other group just a post test 

Experimental Designs

1) Pretest-posttest control group design


2) Post-test only control group design


3) solomon four group design

Pretest-posttest control group design

Each participant in either control or experimental condition


selection threat eliminated - groups equal


Pretest sensitisation threat = external validity


Widely used design

Post-test only control group design

groups assumed equal - may not be initially equivalent 


can generalise to a group from which participants randomly selected


Pretest sensitisation NOT threat to external validity


useful for pretest bias concerns

 solomon four group design

combines pretest & posttest only designs


controls for and measures pretest sensitivity


measures effectiveness of treatment


measures testing effects
